IXICO WILLING TO SETTLE IT BY ARBITRATION. iderstood that Arredondo Has H? jeelved Word to That Effect From His Government ? Fletcher Will Bead American Commissioners iir That Case. > Mexico City, July 18. ? James Linn Ijigers, representative of tlie Ameri in Government, informed tlio Mexl in Secretary of War today that the taerican uxpedltionaF7~r<^es in Mex o would be gradually v?ttt?drawa pom Mexican territory. Mexican Ommlsslouers have been designated t reach a settlement of the outstand 1g questions In the United States. Washington, July 18.? EUseo Arre indo, Mexican Ambassador designate [lied on Acting Secretary Polk at e State Department today just he re the latter went to the White ouse for the Cabinet meeting . J It was understood Mr. Arredondo had received Instructions from hU Bovernment approving a tentative plan for the settlement of differences with the United States by means of a Joint international commission. There are indications that Henry P. Fletcher, Ambassador designate to Mexico, will head the three American commissioners If the plan is adopted Mr. Arredondo later said his nego tiations with Mr. Polk had not reach ed a point where a formal statement [seemed "justified but that formal an -nouncement of the plan to be follow ed might be expected before the end of 'tlie week. | Members of the Cabinet after their (meeting said the question of a com mission plan to settle the differences ^between Mexico and the United States Shad not been finally determined .

Believe That .Enemy's- ,Iu. terior Lines of Defense Are Less Strong. Than the First T London. July IS.? While the ad verse weather is compelling a lull in the fighting on the western front mil itary critics are agreeably surprised by the large captures of heavy arma ment that General Sir Douglas Haig. the British commander-in-chfef. an nounced. As was evidenced by withdrawal of the British from tlie Foureaugh wood, where they had reached the German third line, Gen. Haig resisted the temptation to hold on to that' point. It would have in curred severe fighting, with probably heavy losses and General Haig was in favor of a more methodical advance Evidence received from the iron! a well as the officio! map pubMwel Here, seems to prove that the .'German second line of defences was "far less strong and elaborate than the first. Therefore, the military observers1 he Ilieve'that the obstacles are likely to be less difficult as the Entente Allies j advance. With regard to the eastern front, General Von Linsengen's retirement across the Llpa is considered by the cDitics as removing the last seriou3 obstacle to the advance of the Rus sians toward Lemberg. General Haig was able to repoit substantial progress north of Orvil lers, while the Germans utilized the lull in making an attempt to regain lost ground at Biaches and LaMaison nette. Fight in this* region contin ues. Reports from Rome say that the retirement of the Teutonic Allies on the Lipa has caused a panic in Galic ia, where towns are being evacuated Deatschland Koady Te Say Goodbye Baltimore, July 18. ?
