The demand of the United States for unity of action among the allies,- - as a result of the Paris conference, will be more than general in its terms, it was learned here Saturday from authoritative sources.

The first step is already in a fair way toward accomplishment, through the formation of the committee and the close of the allied navies. The second step has long been a more or less accomplished fact, the financial commission, through which has been sitting in Paris and passing upon the needs of the various allies and the ability of the United States and other countries to fill them. It is from the third step, the coordination of the world's shipping, that the most revolutionary results are expected. The prospects of the Paris conference were, it is believed in high circles here, the subject of much of the discussion at Fridays protracted meeting of the cabinet. U. 8. Will Assert Rights.

Railway men, the correspondent adds, said that Kerensky and Lenlne and Trotsky, the Bolshevlkl leaders, all ought to be thrown into the Neva. For the provisional government nowhere was there a spark of enthusiasm, he adds, as it was felt to have deserved its fate. Everywhere, however, the correspondent found a longing for real order and real authority and for somebody whb would save Russia from trouble. Minnesotans Pledge Loyalty. Minn.

This time he is fighting his own countrymen along the border, Instead of attacking American border towns, his latest attack being upon the town of Ojinaga. Mexican federal troops evacuated Ojinaga at 8 :8d Wednesday night and came to the American side, where they surrendered their arms. General Juan Espinosa y Cordova, commander, surrendered .to American troops in command of Captain Theodore Barnes, Jr., commander of American troops here. He said the fighting was hand to hand before the evacuation. The rout started soon after 8 oclock and by 8:80 the evacuation had become a mob seeking safety on the American side of the river.' The federal troops were rounded up by American patrols, disarmed and narchbd to the army camp, where they were guarded. The Villa troops number 1000, according to the Mexican commander. The fighting was confined to the streets of Ojinaga and in the municipal plaza since the attack opened at twilight.

I reported as excellent After the successes gained by the allies in the west during the preceding week, the relative calm of the last seven-daperiod was to be anticipated. It is significant however, that the reaction of the enemy has been relatively slight, both in the region north of the Alsne and in Flanders. At this season of the year the fogbound fields of Flanders and bad weather makes it difficult to major operations with precision. Nevertheless, artillery preparations are continuing presaging further offensive engagements. Germans Nervous. Destructive hostile srtillery fire is noted in the area along the Yser, centering around Dlxmude, and the shelling by the enemy Increased during the latter part of the week, betraying a decided nervousness on the part of the Germans lest any unexpected offensive iction develop.
