The number of unwoun<ied prison- , em captured by the French soldiers during the two days' fighting, and who have been counted, is more than A,000, of which at least 150 were offi­ cers. Some cannon and much other material also has fallen into our hands. Thanks to the complete and extremely efficacious artillery prep­ aration, and thanks also to the elan •f our infantry, our losses have been Very small. "On the north Verdun front there has been no infantry action. • very vigorous ombardment has been maintained in the region of hill No. 804 and in the Fleury and Damloup sectors.

The position was heavily attacked by the Germans in the night, it is added, but without suc­ cess.'" „ The text of the later statement fol­ lows : "North of the Somme the fighting was fierce during the night. The Ger­ mans launched violent counter-attacks against our new positions at the ap­ proaches to Hardecourt. Our curtains of artillery fire awl Infantry fire in­ flicted important losses upon the en­ emy, who was forced to retreat in dis­ order, leaving In our hands 200 pris­ oners, of whom six were officers.

In the course of the fighting, which took place in the en­ emy's trenches, 80 Germans were killed, a score were brought back Into our lines and two machine guns also were captured* Repulse Thiaumont Attack. "On the right bank several feeble attacks by the enemy upon the Thiau­ mont worK, in which we are estab­ lished, were easily repulsed. In this region a strong German force, which hurled Itself against our first-line ele­ ments, was dispersed after having sus­ tained high losses. We took 16 pris­ oners, of whom two were officers.

July 3.--More than a quarter of a million Teuton soldiers have been captured by the Russian' army In Its continued offensive and of­ ficials of the war office believe that be­ fore there Is a halt more thnn 400.000 will be taken. Up to Wednesday 212.- 000 prisoners had been reported to the general staff's headquarters, hut since that time the Russians have ad­ vanced more than 30 miles in some directions, the rapidity of their move­ ments preventing transmission of re­ ports on the number of captives. In some places entire regiments of Austrian troops, completely surround­ ed by the Russian cavalry have laid down their arms without offering any defense. Where the trapped forces resisted they were literally annihi­ lated. In view of the great number of pris­ oners taken, Russian officials assert that the Austro-German losses.

Washington, July 1.--General Car- ranza's reply to the American Indict­ ment of liis government contained in the Lansing note of June 20 did not In any way modify the grave situation existing between the two countries. This is the opinion of high adminis­ tration officials based upon the study given to th#tuemorandum made public in Mexico City. The memorandum contained »r> counts. Although not in the form of a direct reply to the Washington note, it is considered equivalent to an an­ swer to that department. Blames Conduct of Americans. It expresses surprise that the Wash­ ington government should have been puined at the tone of the contents of the Carranza document, since it maintains that the United Stutes bus sent to the constitutiounl governineut not only one but many discourteous and even oberbearing notes. Emphatically reiterating the Mex­ ican government's position denying the right of the United States to keep anned bodies in Mexico, the mem­ orandum denies energetically that the Mexican government has protected bandits who had committed depreda­ tions in the United States and deties Washington -to produce proof of the assertion. Watson Responsible for Massacre. Blame for the Santa Ysahei mas­ sacre Is placed on the so-called im­ pulsive and irascible disposition of Charles Watson, generul manager- of Cusihulrtachic company, and General Scott and Generul Funston are ac­ cused of bad faith and lack of honor in misleading General Ohregon in an alleged evasive reply regarding the crossing of American troops into Mexico, after the Gleniv Springs raid. The memorandum asserts that while It is true that the United States ar­ rested General Huerta, the motive which prompted this act was not a purpose of aiding the constitutional­ ist government, but because the United States feared that Generaf Huerta was plotting with Germany. The note concludes by declaring that the presence of American troops In' Mexico invites rather than pre­ vents bandit raids along the border. The memorandum was Issued at the sume time that the foreign office authorized publication of Secretary Lansing's note.

Some de facto officials wished to go further and couple with this statement the Mexican reply a defiant demand tliat American troops be with­ drawn Immediately from Mexican soil. Charges by Carranza. Summed up, tbe Carrunza memo­ randum says: Mexico never consented to the Per. shing expedition as it was conducted and demands removal of the troops. America is to blame for the raids by failing to protect the border. When the American government rec­ ognized Carranza it was cognizant of border, outlawry. Mexico defies the United States to prove that it protected bandits. The stubbornness of Watson, mining leader, was to blame for the San Ysa- be! massacre, Mexico notified the United States that Villa was at Paiomas and to ex­ pect the raid on Columbus. The United States troops entered Parral against Mexican orders and are to blame for the fight there. One hundred and forty Mexicans have been slain recently on American soil. The slapers have gone unpun­ ished. Carrizal Survivors at El Paso. ! El Paso, Tex., June 3U.--Gen.
