Bridgeport, Conn, July 19.-Simon

ment was gratified today by the success
of the experiments testing the new
submarine. G-3. which demonstrated
that the new BOAT can cross the At

base of supplies" said Mr.. Lake. 1T
Is merely a question of the economy OF
fuel"
The G-3 was built by the Lake Tor
pedo Boat company of this city. Her
extensive cruising radius is due to the
efficiency of a new Swiss engine which
drives the "a 10Th on the surface and
under water. replacing both the gaso-
line engines heretofore used to drive
submarine craft on the surface and th'
electric motor used for undersea travel

of 14.7 knots on the surface and 10.1

ORDER IN COUNCIL
IS NOT RECOGNIZED
United States Denies British
Assumptions In Trial of
Prize Court Cases.

Washington. July 1e.--Secretary Ian.
sing made public today a paraphrase
Of the note presented by Ambassador
Page on July IA to the British govern
ment to conserve the rights of Ameri-
can citizens in cases being tried by
British prize courts. 1t has no relation,
he said, to the general note on con-
traband still in course of preparation.
The p%araphrase issued by the state de-
partment follows:
IN view of differences which are I'M
derstood to exist between the two GOV
ernrlents as to the principles of law
applicable in prize court proceedings,
in cases involving American interest,
Inc in order o avoid any misunder-
standing as to the attitude of the Unit
ed States in regard to any such pro-
~ceedings, the government of the United
States informs the British government
that insofar as the interests of Ameri-
can citizens are concerned, it will insist
upon their rights under the principles
and rules of i~nternatioal law, as hith-
erto established, governing. neutral

SUBJECT OF EVELYN
Refuses to Answer Questions
Concerning Future Att
tude Toward Her.

Atlantic City. N. j., July 19.-Harry
*. Thaw's first night of real freedom
in years was spent in restful sleep at
a beach front hotel here. After yes
terday's weary ride down the state
from New York. where he was re-
leased on bail. Thaw was much re-
freshed and prepared to spend the day
quietly. He remained out of sight ear
ly in the day and took breakfast in his
room. The dining room Of the hotel
was crowded with guests, many Of
whom prolonged their meal, hoping to
see him.
What Thaw's attitude would be to-
ward Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was a mat
ter of considerable speculation. To no
question. however. bearing on this point
would Thaw return a direct answer.
One interviewer asked him If he ex-
pected to see her soon. Thaw's answer
was to look at his questioner steadily
for a few moments and turn away
without a wore
SO far as could be learned, Thaw has
formed no definite plans for the imme-
date future, except to get as much
rest as he can. The length of his stay
here is not known. but it is believed he
will go to his home in Pittsburgh in a
few days.

STRIKING MINERS
EFyGOVERNMENT
Britain Making No Effort to
Impose Fines Upon Welsh
Workmen Who Want
Act Repeated.

London July 19,-The executive
council of the South Wales miners
having failed at a meeting held in Lon,
don today to reach ar agreement or
the means of settling the coal dispute,
left for Cardiff, where it will meet
again on Monday.
The ominous attitude adopted by
the Welsh miners causes serious APP
p%rehension. The miners now have in-
creased their demands by asking the
government to withdraw the royal
proclamation making the coal mines
subject to the munitions act.
President Runicman, of the board
Of trade, rejected this proposal at a
conference held last night and a meet
ing held in London failed to secure
any ground for an adjustment.
The extremist leaders declare, how
ever, tina it is a question no lon"er
Of a 5 per cen increase In wages. but
the abrogation of the royal proclama
ton, which subjects the miners to a
fine of s25 daily for striking. No eff
| fort has yet been made to enforce the
fines against the 10000 strikers. which
the leaders construe as an evidence
Of the virtual impossibility of carry
ln~ out the plans.
Reports received this morning from
all the Welsh centers show that the
strike continues to cause much agita-
ton, but no disorder.

GREAT OFFENSIVE
AGAINST RUSSIANS
Slav Forces Withdraw Before
Gathering Assaults BY Teu-
tons-Active on 300
Mile Front.

London, July ia new German
offensive of huge proportions, with
Riga, a great Russian seaport n the
seat Of the governor general of the
Baltic provinces, as it's objective. is
revealed in the latest official state
ments issued at P~etrograd and Berlin.
Military experts here construe the
offensive to be a vast development
movement, in which the Germans are
making a great effort to destroy the
Russian army.
Both the German and Russian COM
munications agree that the German
forces are at the Windau river near
Goldingen, which is only so miles from
Riga, the great strategic commercial
metropolis in the Gulf of Riga. and
on the upper Baltic.
An official statement received this
morning from P~etrograd added details
of sanguinary fighting all along the
new line in efforts to hold back the
German advance, which now is being
concentrated on Riga n on War
saw, while the Austria-Hungarians
are moving northward from the
Dniester river.
Advices reaching London today say
that the Germans left a trail of de-
struction along the Baltic sea from
Memel to Lihau, where the villas,
hotels and casinos are said to have
been destroyed, about the only ex-
ception, it is said, being the palace
of a Polish nobleman, whose cousin

is admitted by P~etrograd. Continuation
of the German advance in Courland
also is conceded. Increasing import
ance is attached, by military observers
abroad. to this move in the Baltic
provinces.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's army
that swept through Galicia is giving
signs of renewed activity in pursuance
of the assumed plan of the Teutonic
forces to attack simultaneously al
