London, June THE Russian

ing through Galicia in two directions
toward Lemberg, the last Russian
base in the province.
Though the official statements Is
sued in Berlin and Petrograd disagree,
both give indications of hard strue-
giles which give promise that the final
settlement of the issue will be de-
layed several days at least.
A further advance by the Russians
Is indicated by the announcement that
they have retaken the village OF
Starzawa, on the left bank of the
Wicznia, which the Teutonic forces
captured soon after the evacuation of
Przemysl. Petrograd does not assume
to believe that anything like a def

cial statement adds that the Ger
mans still maintain a hold on the
neighboring heights"
From Petrograd comes the an.
nouncement that Teutonic attacks
on Russian positions near the village
Of Krukisnice, eight miles south OF
Mosciska. have been repulsed with
heavy losses to the Teutons. The
further announcement is made that
the Russians have captured several
German trenches on the right bank OF
the San between the Lubaczowka and
Sklor rivers in the neighborhood of
Korzenica.
While the military operations on
the entire front OF the Trentino from.
tiers are limited to artillery duels, the
Italians are making progress at every
point, according to a report from Gen

ian artillery is vastly superior to that
of the Austrians.
The first official information OF the
movements OF the Italian feet since
the opening OF hostilities was given
out when the ministry OF marines told
OF a raid by a naval division on the

Washington, June THAT Berlin
has either lacked adequate reports
from the United States or else has
completely misread them, was the
conclusion reached by many officials
here, from published dispatches. as
sorting that the German authorities
and the public there no longer regard
ed the submarine issue with the Uni
ted States as one of serious proper
tons.
Reports Of q similar character have
reached this country through Official
channels and they are looked upon as
the most discouraging feature Of the
situation. II is felt here that the
prospects of a satisfactory response
by Germany to the demands of the
United States will not be bright until
the German government and the Ger
man people have come to a realiza-
ton of the intense feeling in this
country and the determination OF the
president to insist on adequate safe
guard for the protection of American
lives on the high seas.
officials who are familiar with the
contents OF the note predicted that It
would be fully as popular with the
people Of the United States as the
first communication. No backward
step has been taken by the president.
In fact, It is more forceful, II anything,
than the first note giving Germany to
understand that this government will
expect prompt expression from her

resentation in the Legislature.
The first, introduced by John j..
O'Conrell, read:
1--WE condemn the recently adjourned
Republican Legislature for its attacks
on the laws Of humanity in vitiating
the workmen's compensation act and
in attempting to destroy by the can
ners' bill the safeguard recently enact
ed regulating hours Of labor for wom-
en- and children; for its extravaganza;
for its hypocrtical ripper leglsla-
ton; for its unfair and contemptuous
treatment Of the City Of New York IN
refusing TO pass any measure tending
to real home rule, and IN adding Sl5,-
600 600 10 the burden of its citizens in
cynical disregard of the protest Of the
city's elected representatives"

GEORGE H. PUTNAM
ATTACKS GERMANS
Publisher Recalls KaiSer's
Order to Have Troops
Act Like Huns.
LEAGUE PROPAGANDA
INSPIRES REPLY
Condemns Atrocities on Land as
Well as Submarine Warfare
on NOn-COmbatantS.

The reorganization of the German
University League, of 225 Filth avenue
TO spread German propaganda IN TINS
country. has called forth a denunciation
of such propaganda and Of German
military practices from George Haven
Putnam, of G. P Putnam's Sons. Mr.:
Putnam. with other Americans, joined
the original league several years ago.
1t is in reply to a letter from I. j.
Merkel. secretary of the new league. IN
which are cited reports of General Won
Kissing, military governor Of Belgium
in regard to conditions IN that coun-
try, that Mr.. Putnam speaks at length
of "barbarous acts" and Germanys
guilt in the present war
Admitting that reports OF atrociues
are, of necessity, much exaggerated
Mr.. Putnam nevertheless DEGREES the
German treatment of French and Bel
gians in that part of France tempo
rarily occupied by the Germans, Dut
later retaken by the Allies.
THE instructions given years back
bv the Kaiser to his soldiers in CHINA
that thew were TO act as Huns, so that
the name of Germany should be re-
membered and kept in dread, has been
confirmed and extended in orders OF
German commanders in France ana
Belgium" Mr.. Putnam writes.
In defining his stand on the spread OF
German propaganda in this country, he
saws "The Germans on this side OF the
Atlantic have. of course, share IN the
responsibility for such misdeeds only
in so far as they approve and defend
them"
The later developments Of German
military tactics, according to Mr. Put
nam. increase the difficulty with when
Americans or other neutrals can accept
the point Of view of the league propa-
pandists. "The use Of submarines,
saws the letter, "for the destruction OF
vessels Of peace, fishermen, trawlers'
cargo carriers, trading vessels, VesselS
with passengers, women and chlldreh'
vessels a number of which are not even
the property of the nation with when
Germany is at war, constitutes, IN the
judgment of American citizens, bar
barous and abomnable precedent IN the
management of this new instrument of
war. Such an act as the sinking of the
Falaba, with the loss of more than l,OOO
passengers. has caused horror and in
dignation TO the whole civilized
world
Mr. Putnam speaks in similar terms
Of the bombardment of unfortlied
towns by Zeppelins, and advocates con
certed protests, backed by force if
necessary, by neutral nations against
all barbarous practices by combatants.
In closing his letter Mr.. Putnam out
lines what he believes will be the posi-
ton of this country at the end of the
war:
american influence will be used to
further settlement which, instead of

New Game for Unemployed, In
vented by Miss Morgan,

record. Miss Morgan says New York
can beat that easily. Mrs. Wendell!

Argentina's patriotic pride in her
new per-dreadnought Moreno, which
is expected to sail to-day from New

Not even profit of about s6.ooo.ooo

of the largest aAoat, which was built
at Camden, y. J. The offer was made
by Greece through an agent in this
city. acting on instructions of the
Greek Minister in Paris, whose gov
eminent was willing to pay G3.5O0,00O
for the American built vessel The cost
to Argentina for the construction of the
Moreno was about $12,000.000.

removed. The Hohenzollern policy Of
