Washington. July 24.-The eight

owing nationwide organized labor

PARIS PRESS LAUDs WILSON
EXPRESSES SATISFACTION WITH
NOTE TO GERMANY.
Newspapers See Difference Between
Policies Of Secretary Lansing and
Predecessor, William J. Bryan.

Paris, July 27-Comment in the
Paris newspapers expresses undis-
guised satisfaction with the American
note to Germany. The Petit Parisien
says:
THE blow has fallen. Hereafter it
is by deeds that the Washington cabi-
net will Judge the German naval pol
ICY"
This paper, praising President Will
sons judicial turn Of mind. com.
pares the time it took Germany to
reply to President Wilson in prepar-
ing his latest communication.
"The Berlin chancellery," this pa
per continues, tried to complicate
the problem. 1t misled discussion
into side paths and raised every op-
portunity for a complementary ques.
tion. President Wilson re-states the
naked proposition. Does the German
admiralty, responsible for the Lusi-
tania crime, intend to renounce the
destruction of neutral vessels with
human beings aboard? Yes or no.
II yes, it should say SO; If no, any
future transgression will precipitate
rupture of German-Amerjcan rela-
tions."
The Matin says: Undoubtedly the
new American note again opens to
the Germans way, which they as
suredly will try to make larger"
Several morning newspapers see in
the directness and simplicity of the
latest note a difference between the
policies of Secretary Of State Lansing
and his predecessor, William Jennings
Bryan.

No Families Made Dependent.
While no families were made wholly
dependent by the disaster, as might
be the case in a flood or great fire.
1t was said the victims, employees of
the Western Electric company, had
been working only half time or less in
recent months. Several men who
made this report. in asking for aid.
were asked why they started on the
excursion while in poor financial cir.
cumstances. They replied that an or.
gantzation of employees gave the picnic
ana that experience had taught them
that 1T was best to buy tickets If they
desired preferment for work. They
said said the company had nothing to
do with this condition or the giving
OF the excursion, but that as members
OF the employees organization purchase
OF tickets for the lake trip, an annual
anair, was almost compulsory.

patches said they were maintaining
their position despite heavy attacks

of the heavy fighting now proceeding

A similar, though less daring ex.

SLAMS are making continual threat
at Won Mackensen's flank along the

the east of Lemberg. Between Kry-
low and Sokal their attacks have been
particularly severe, compelling the
Germans to send achievements,
probably intended to support Won
Mackensen, to meet them.
Warsaw Situation Unchanged.
Along the Vistula to the south and
west Of Warsaw there has been little
change except for the occupation by
the Germans Of some positions evacu-
ated by the Russians when they drew

While Warsaw is under heavy pres

OF stiff work before them IL they are
to bring their operations to a sue

crossing the Narew they still have the
broader Bug, lined with fortresses to

have good positions north the Lub-

the undoing of the army which at

most dangerous attacks at the mo-
