Diplomats Believe That Berlin viii
Contend That Act Was Justified
in Combating EngIand's "Or-
der in Council"

hington-Germany, in her forth
coming reply to the last United States
note to her on submarine warfare,
will propose discussion by this gov
ernment of the principle and doctrine
of reprisal or retaliation as justifi-
cation or palliation of her past acts
of submarine warfare which have af-
fected the lives of American citizens.
Germany will expect free, full and
clear discussion of this theme in con-
nection with the starvation reprisal
of Great Britain. Germany will n aim
tain that it is impossible to discuss
the universally admitted doctrine of
reprisals without discussing it equally
with Germany and Great Britain. This
proposal, it is understood, is the argu-
ment which Germany held in reserve
when she sent her last note to the
United States. In that note she said
that she had other considerations to
present in reference to the Lusitanias
The information that the other con-
siderations are those given comes
from diplomats who are in a position
to know with a reasonable degree OF
certainty the attitude of Germany aft
er the publication of the Lansing note.
These officials say that Germany
will not go to the extent of asserting
that the law of retaliation, even in its
widest and most flexible interpreta-
tion, could be applied to any tragedies
in the future in which there shall be
a loss of American life by the illegal
use of submarines without visit and
search and assurances for the safety
of non-combatant Americans.

a question of elimination and re-crim-
nation between Great Britain and
Germany as to which of them first ap-
pealed to the law of reprisal. Great
Britain asserts that Germany com
mandeered everything that could get
into Germany in the way of food sup
plies so as to absolutely assure the
necessary supply for the German
army, and that therefore the order in
council was an act of retaliation.
Germany holds that the test OF the
submarine war zone was an act OF
retaliation against previous acts OF
Great Britain in holding up American
ships and others which had cargoes
of foodstuffs for neutral nations and
for Germany herself.

SUBMARINES TAKE TOLL
Activities off EngIand's Coast in One
Day Destroyed Thirteen Ships
of All Kinds.

London.-German submarines con
tinue their activity. On June 10 they
accounted for two British torpedo
boats, while the loss of 10 fishing YES
sells and one steamer, the Erna Boldt,
is credited to the underwater boats.
Forty-one members of the crews of the
torpedo boats were rescued. AS these
vessels always carry crews of 35 men,
It is believed that the loss of iife in
their sinking will approximate 80.
The two British torpedo boats were
torpedoed off the east coast Of Eng
land. They are the No. 10 and the No.
12. Both of them went to the bottom.
The survivors, Al in number, have
been brought ashore. The attack took
place at very early hour. This infor-
nation was given out by the admir-
atty.
The British torpedo boats Nos. 10
and IL each had a complement of 80
men. No. 10 had a displacement of
244 tons, speed of 26 knots and was
166 feet long. No. II had displace-
ment of 253 tons, a speed of 26 knots
and was 172 feet long. Both were built
in 1906.

ITALIANS SIGHT TRIESTE
Advanae of the Invading Troops Into
Austrian Territory Nears One OBJ
jective of Campaign.

Udjae, Italy.-Italian. troops are
within sight of the city of Trieste.
FropA the hilltops near Monfalcone
they can see the city, the capture of
which is one of the main detectives OF
the italian campaign.
The occupation of Monfalcone is re-
gard@d by Italians as of great impor-
tance. Less than 20 miles from Trieste
its possession gives the Italians con-
troll of the chief railway junction OF
that region. 1t prevents the Austrians
from transporting troops or ammuni-
ton between Trieste and Tolmino and
Gradisca. Monfalcone is the center of
electrical supply for Trieste and has
large ship building yards.
On taking possession of Monfalcone
the Italians ran up their flags on the
ruins of an ancient tower built by the
yenetians. The capture of the town
was celebrated by the Italian troops.

U. S. NOTE IS MADE PUBLIC
Washington Again Demands of Ger
many That American Lives and
Ships BE Safeguarded.

Washington.-Th United States, in
its latest note to Germany, made pub.
lie June 10, formally asks the impe-
rial government for assurances that
measures hereafter will be adopted to
safeguard american lives and Amer
ican ships" on the high seas. The al
ternative in case of refusal is not

It was this note to which William
Jennings Bryan refused to attach his
signature, resigning instead his port
folio Of state, thereby precipitating q
dramatic cabinet crisis. Robert Lans-
ing, secretary of state ad interim, has
signed the communication, which went
forth with the approval OF President
Wilson and his entire cabinet.
Friendly terms characterize the doc.
ument, which renews representations
made in the American note Of May Id,
after the Lusitania was tOrpedOed and
sunk. TIE German government, it is
declared, must have been misinform-
ed'' when it assumed that the Lusitania
carried guns, as official information is
at hand to corroborate the original
contention of the U. S. government that
the Lusitania was an unarmed passen-
ger ship, which since it did not resist
capture could not be sunk without
transferring passengers and crew to a
place of safety.
The communication informs Ger
many that it. is "on the principle OF
humanity as well as upon the law
founded upon this principle that the
United States must stand Oppor-
tunity is given to Germany to submit
any evidence that American officials
did not execute their tasks thoroughly

sailed, but the cardinal fact-that the

CHICAGO HAS BIG STRIKE
Over $4,000 Employees of Surface and
Elevated Lines Walk Out for
Higher Wages.

Chicago-A strike of the 14,500 EN-.
ployes of the surface and elevated
traction systems was ordered at mid.
night June -13 The men in accord
ance with the strike order finished
their runs and returned their cars to
the barns.
The strike on June 13 was called
after an all-day conference of trans
portation officials, labor leaders and
Mayor Thompson had shown the two
interests at odds on the question of
Increased wages, which the men in
sisted must be guaranteed before ar
sbitration could be considered.
The police began Immediately ar
rangements for protecting workmen
who were ready to take cars. All po-
lice furloughs were recalled, and all
available men held at police stations
ready for emergency duty. A detail
of 500 policemen was dispatched to
guard the car barns.
Officials of the steam roads an
nounced they would begin an immedi-
ate suburban service.
Records of the transportation COM
panies show an average of 100000
persons depending on the lines for dai-
ly transportation. The surface lines
operate 3,125 cars daily, and the ele-
waited lines 1913.
There are 1895 miles of surface
track and 215 miles of elevated line.
For two hours preceding midnight,
when the strike became effective,
many passengers who hailed the ap-
preaching cars said they met with lit
tie success. Motormen apparently re-
fused to heed signals in order to get
to the barns at midnight.
At midnight policemen took up their
positions at the car barns. elevated
stations, power plants and other prop
critics.
Fifteen hundred girls employed as
operators at the four downtown ex-
changes of the telephone companies
are quartered at hotels in order to
be near their work and will stay at the
hotels until the strike is ended.

GERMAN ADVANCE STOPS
Petroqrad is Gratified at Success of
Russians in Capturing 5000 Teu-
tons Who Crossed River.

London4The Russian success haA
caused qualification and relief and mil
itary experts expects there will be
repetition in Galicia of what occurred
before Warsaw last winter when the
Germans suffered enormous losses in
their efforts to break the Russian
front. AS on that occasion Russian re-
endorsements arrived in time to force
back a portion of Gen. Linsingen' S
army, which had crossed the Dnelster
river near Zurawna before it could be
strengthened and entrenched.
The German and Austrian official
reports do not mention the fighting in
this region, but from an account is
sued in Petrograd the Austro-GermanS
must have suffered heavy reverses, as
they are said to have lost II guns and
1000 prisoners. In fact, military men
express the belief that very few OF
those who crossed the river could have
escaped.
The Russians also claim that far

ponents back and have taken another
1000 prisoners, while near Mosciska,
east of Przemysl, they say the Ger
mans suffered severely when they at
tackled the Russian position. In East
ern Galicia and in Bukowina the Rus
slams continue to fall back to the
Dneister under the Austrian pressure.
Following the example of the Ital-
ians. who occupied Avien, the Serv-
ians are marching across Northern
Albania toward the port of DurazzO,
while the Montenegrins are making
for the port of Alessio still farther
north. For some time Albania has
been overrrun by bands which, it is
alleged, were organized by Austrians
and Turks to harass Servia, and in
fact these bands more than once have
invaded Servian territory. The opin-
ion is generally expressed here that
these occupations probably will spell
the end of Albanian integrity.
Heavy fighting continues along the
Italian frontier, particularly on the
River Isonzo, where the Austrians are
making their most determined effor
to stem the Italian advance.

RETREAT FROM THE BALTIC
French Offensive in West Nerves the
Russians to Begin Counter-Attack
On Germans.

London - Russian re-enforcements
have arrived in the Baltic provinces
and in Galicia, and it has become their
turn to attack.
According to the German official re-
port received June 10 part Of the Ger
man force on the Dubysa river, in the
Baltic provinces, threatened by an en-
circling movement, were obliged to
withdraw, although in the region OF
Shawl and on the Niemen they claim
to be making progress, despite a stub
born Russian resistance.
More important, in the belief Of mil
itary observers here, however, is the
apparent change that is taking place
in the Galician battle. Here again, ac-
cording to the German account, the
Russians are advancing to the south
and southeast of Lemberg, and also
are attacking Gen. Linsingen's force
which crossed the Dniester near Zu-
rawna.
In Eastern Galicia and Bukowina.

ers, with the intention, it is believed
here, of making the Dniester their
line of defense from the Roumanian
frontier to the southeast of Przemysl.
They have very strong positions along
this line and military experts say that
if they can drive back the Germans
who crossed the river near Zurawna,
Lemberg will remain in their hands
and they will be in position to de-
liver vigorous offensive, at any rate,
as soon as the Austrians and Germans
begin to withdraw troops for their
western and southern campaigns.
1t is possible that this withdrawal
commenced some days ago, for Dutch
correspondents report the arrival OF
large numbers of troop trains in Bel
gium and the commencement of bat
tie south of Ypres. The official re-
ports, however, mention no such bat
tie.
Along most of the French front the
French generally are said to be on the
offensive, but as to results the claims
of Berlin and Paris are contradictory.

Strongly Fortified Austrian Posi-

Invaders Who Cut Commun-

London.-In the western war zone
artillery engagements are in progress
from the sea to the Woevre, and even
beyond that district, with here and
there infantry fighting. The French
have attempted to force the Germans
at some points out of their strongly
entrenched positions, and the Ger
mans have been endeavoring to re-
cover lost ground A big German of
fensive was predicted several days
ago, but so far it has not materialized,
although it is still expected.
With Monfalcone and Gradisca in
their hands, the Italians have begun
an attack on Gorilla (Gorz), further
up the Isonzo river, and one of the
Austrians' most strongly fortified po-
sitions. The Italians already have
cut the communications to the north
and south of the town, SO that 1t now

troops are showing great qualities OF
courage and enterprise in the face OF
obstinate opposition. The severity OF
these encounters may be judged from
the fact that this ground is one OF
the strongest fortified points where

fortress guns into play.
Nevertheless, the Italians pushed
