London, Sept ,26.-9:25 p. m.-The
wingB of the opposing armies in
Northern France still are striking
hard blows at each other in an effor'
to break through the respective posi
tions.
Both sides, according to the Freud
official report issued late today, hav<
made some progress,' the Germans or
;the allies' right perhaps the' greatest.
For three days or more a violent
battle has been raging in the hlllt
and plains between the Rivers Ois
and Somme. Official accounts,.. bot!
German and French, are Silent as tr
how this fight, is going, but tn Iii?
frontal attack on the Gormans strong
ly fortified arid well reinforced posl
tiona farther south the allies hav
made some slight progress. The Gor
mada apparently are satisfied to re
main on the defensive until the bat
tie on the flank has been decided.
From Soisspns to Rheims and
thence to Verdun there bas been no
change In tho situation, but in the
south of Woovre tho French continue
to make progr?s* abd havo. def ca toe

Until Some Dormite Decision
Is Reached
Washington, Sept. '?1.-General
Carranza today predicted funner
fighting In Mexico, according to of
ficial advices to the state depart- "
mont. The first chief explained to
diplomats, who gathered at his re
quest, that Zapata had refused to at
tend or send delegates to the na
tional convention called for October
1 and that his forces were active in
the south. He also described evania
leading up to the rupture with Gen*
eral Villa, saying the blame for fur
ther bloodshed would be Villa's as his
own troops would act only on the de
fensive.
Official inf rotation haa tome to the
Washington government from Gen
eral Fuuaton and others that Zapata t
and Villa are working lp harmony
against Carranza and expect the sup
port of former feder?is. One of Vii.
la's chief demands has been that cer
tain officers who supported Huerta
be taken Into the new national army.
Mit Carranta has given a?cli t?fflcera
no guarantees. Already it has been
reported tbat Francisco Carbajal, for
mer provisional president, ?ind Gen
