It claims Mexican forces can curb northern outlawry and that cross border cooperation requires keeping troops on the American side to prevent incursions. Officials see it as negotiation pressure, not an ultimatum.

Germans Force French Evacuation on Verdun Front
Paris dispatch reports on May 31 that German forces compelled the French to evacuate a first line trench near the Caurette woods south of Cumieres after two days of heavy bombardment. The Verdun front saw repeated German infantry assaults with stubborn French resistance, evacuating a leveled trench as fog allowed German detachments toward Chattancourt to be countered by French fire. Berlin stated Germany would not accept Britain’s Poland relief counter proposals, citing British guarantees for Serbia Montenegro and Austrian-occupied Poland as unacceptable. A separate Austro Hungarian report claims progress west of Arasiere in the Trentino, with fortifications and river crossings seized. Additional dispatches describe Italian fortifications at Punt a Ordin and other movements, though details are unclear due to fragmented telegraph reporting.
