SECOND SUCCESS CLAIMED FOR
CROWN PRINCE IN THE
ARGONNE.

London. Except for sharp con.
fiict in the Argonne, where the Ger,

attack by the crown princes army was
crowned with complete success" but
which the French report says was re-.
pulsed, there has been little beyond
the usual artillery actions and the

ton.
This Is the second success claimed
for the crown prince in the Argonne
during the last few weeks, but as in
the previous case there is a complete
conflict of testimony between the two
headquarters. The Germans staAe they
took nearly 5000 prisoners, while the
French, although admitting that their
line momentarily gave way, declare
that their counter-attacks arrested the
progress Of the Germans and drove
them back.
There is no change reported on
either the eastern or Italian fronts,
While reports that Turkey is seeking
separate peace; that some change il
the Balkan situation is imminent and
that the allies have made further
progress on the Gallipoli peninsula

WILSON PREPARING
REPLY TO GERMANY
PRESIDENT WILL COLLABORATE
WITH SECRETARY LANSING IN
COMPLETING NOTE.
DETAILS ARE WITHHELD
Declares There Is Little Likelihood
There Will Be Further Discussions
of Principles Involved.

Washington. With the return OF
President Wilson, the formation of the
policy to be pursued by the United
States as a consequence of Germanys
last note on submarine warfare will
be begun.
The president will collaborate with
Secretary Lansing in completing
note to the German government that
has been tentatively prepared. to be
dispatched probably the end of the
week
While details as to the course which
is to be followed are withheld, it is
known that both the president and
Mr. Lansing have practically made IN
their minds that a definite statement
OF what the consequence of further
violations of American rights would
he should be given to the German gov.
eminent in the next communication
There is little likelihood that there
will be any further discussion Of the
principles involved
By the recent attempt to destroy
the British liner Orduna, carrying a
score Of Americans, on her voyage to
the United States, with no munitions
or contraband, officials here feel that
the position Of the United States as
stated in its previous note has been
materially strengthened. They de
clare it bears out the American con
tention that the character of a vessel
her destination and her cargo can b,
safely determined only by visit ant
search.
AS yet, official information is lack
ing to shCw whether the Orduna was
attacked without warning and what
the circumstances were Of her encoun.
ter with the German submarine. In
discussion of the case, stress is laid
upon the fact that the vessel was en-
route to the United States and car
ried no cargo of Importance, making
the attack on a vessel CARRYING Ameri.
cans seemingly wholly unwarranted.
A statement OF the circumstances
probably will be made by American
passengers aboard the Orduna to the
State Department. although the Amert.
can government might take cognizance
Of newspaper statements. A thor.
ough investigation Of the facts will
be made and request probably will
be sent to the German government for
its report of the affair.

This motion was vigorously opposed
by the State. Mr.. Bromberger told
the court he considered Thaw insane

Stanchfeld replied that Thaw had
been adjudged sane and that to deny
him bail virtually would nullify the
courts decision until the appeal had
been decided.

north and Won Mackensen on the
south, whipping forward the two ends
or great arc around Warsaw, it is
realized in England that Grand Duke
Nicholas. in defending the city. has
the most severe task imposed on him
since the outbreak Of the European
war. Some military writer's seem to
think the feat is well-nigh impossible
There was sustained confidence that
Germany's previous violent attacks
along the Bzura-Rawka front never
would pierce the Russian line, but the
present colossal coordinate move.
ment was developed with such sud,
aenness and carried so far without
meeting serious Russian resistance
that more and more the British press
is discounting the fall Of the Polish
capital and, while not giving up all
hope of its retention, is pointing out
the enormous difficulty the Russian
armies have labored under from the
start by the existence of such a sa.
lient.
Unable to straighten out their line
by an advance through East Prussia,
in the north, and Galicia in the south,
the Russians perpetually have forced

information from Petrograd, there is
nothing to throw fresh light on the
eastern front but the Austro-German
advance could hardly so soon have
lost its momentum.
According to the latest accounts,

from Przasnysz were within 40 miles !
