s|GHTsEERs MEET
HOSPITAL TRAINS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Aug. 2.-One of the sights
of London is the arrival of wounded
soldier at Charing Cross station. The
crowd gathers there about o'clock
every afternoon. Although not a day
has passed since the early part of the
war without the arrival of a varying
number of victims of shot, shell and
gas, the crowd never lessons.
Charing Cross station used to be the
brightest and most interesting station
in London, for most of the travel with
the continent passed there. 1t stands
just off Trafalgar Square in the
Strand near the center of the west-end
shopping district Before the arrival
of the Red Cross train, the ambulance
motors form in a line in a narrow side
street. Ordinary motorcars are used
for the slightly wounded, and ambul-
ances for the badly wounded. The
platforms in the great station are kept
clear, but the sightseers, who are
largely women, gather in the forecourt
waiting for the big iron gates to open
and let out the stream of slow moving
cars, which pass from the side street
into the station and then out.
People are attracted to Charing Cross
less from curiosity than to show their
sympathy. The men in the crowd al
ways raise their hats as the wounded
go by.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2.-The
Russian government of Luolin, now
in possession of the Teutons, is de-
scribed n statement issued today by
the National Geographic society.
''The region where the Austro-Ger-
man forces were brought to a halt ia
their campaign in southern Poland by
the first determined Russian stand is
of the nature of an elevated plateau
secured here and there deeply by riv-
ers, and heavily wooded with forests
of oak, beech and pine. In belts, the
land is severaly torn, a complex of
hill and ravine. Over much of it's
area, it is thinly populated, and pre-
sents stretches of wild unkept,
trackless forest and thicket. There
is plenty of natural cover for armies
operating there.
'Lublin is the southeasternmost
government of Russian Poland. 1t is
contained, east and west, between the
rivers Bug and Vistula. The River Bug
divides Lublin from the Russian gov
eminent of Volhynia, while the River
Vistula divides it from the Russian
Poland government of Radon. Cali
ciaa bounds it upon the south, and the
government of Siedlce upon the north.
Thus, the war reports that announced
the intended withdrawal of the Rus
slams to the line Of the Bug, were
looking forward to the abandonment o;
almost all of Russian Poland. The Bug
River flows in a wide are to the north
east and north Of Warsaw, joining the
Vistula River near the powerful Rus
sian fortress, Novo Georgievsk, about
40 miles north-northwest Of the Pol
ish metropolis.
"The government has an area of g.
500 square miles, and a population es-
timated at about 1,400,00O 1t is roll

|LUBL|N CONTROLlEDBY TEUTONS
AN IMPORTANT RUSSIAN TOWN

ling plain, interrupted with knots and
belts of hills In the northern part,
where the Lublin-Kholm Railway, of
strategic Importance, crosses the gov
eminent, on its way between Warsaw
Also, in the northern neighborhood is
the city of Lublin, the third manu-
featuring town of Russian Poland. The
Vistula, the Bug, the Wieprz, San,
Tanev Rivers drain the districts. A
treacherous region of lakes and marsh
es and black quicksands occurs in the
east, reaching into Galicia. A marshy
lowland also extends between the Wis.
lula and the Wieprz.
Heavy, black earth, of rich fertility,
is found in parts of the government,
and this is mostly under careful Gull
tivation. Rye, oats, wheat, barley and
potatoes are the principal crops. A
good deal of the Lublin grain harvest
is exported. Flax, hemp and beet root
are cultivated on the larger estates,
and stock raising is carried on. The
sugar beets are worked for their pro-
duct in mills within the government;
spirits, flour, leather, and lumber are
other of its manufactured products.
There are some horse farms in the dis
trict whose animals have a European
reputation. The character of the gov
eminent is distinctly AGRICULTURAL
there are few cities and very little
railway mileage, especially are the
railways lacking in the south and CEN
trail parts.
AT one time, German immigration
threatened to over-run this region, the
Teutonic settlers being attracted by
the rich, promising soils, and the
great consumers markets easily
reached from Lublin In 1887, how
ever, this immigration was effectually
stopped. There were, probably, more
than $4,000 Germans In the district at
the beginning of the war. 1t was the
influx OF German settlers that largely
brought about the adoption OF modern
methods in this part of Russian Poland
for the cultivation of the soil. The
roads running north are of Indifferent
qualities, and, taken together with the
almost entire lack of railway facilities,
the maneuvering of armies through
this territory must be surrounded with
effort and difficulty"

WANT MORE FACTS
 BEFORE NEW NOTE GOES TO ENGLAND
Sufficient Testimony on Seizure and Detention of
 Ships Not Yet Procured.

washington. June 25--sufficient facts on detention and seizure of American ships and cargoes by the British fleet have not yet been gath cred by the state department to com plete the new note to Great Britain which has been under preparation several weeks.
 Secretary Lansing disclosed today that the portion of the note dealing with the principles of the so-caI1ed blockade had long been outlined. He dntimated that the note in it's final form would be a presentation of the academic principles involved in the blockade as well as British practice under the order in council.
 The British memorandum review ing the efforts to minimize inconven- fences to neutrals, wild be acknowl- edged in the new note and some of its points will be discussed, although it is recognized here that the memoran- dunn was not intended as a, reply to the American protest against the prin- ciples of the order in council which Great Britain has not answered. The British note, which was pub 1ished today, explains in details meas ures taken by the British government to minimize -inconvenfenceS to neutral commerce under the order in coun- cil. The claim is made, however, that American citizens have no just grounds for complaint on account of the treatment accorded to their cargoes.
 The United States, in it's communi- cation now in course of preparation, will renew it's protest of March 1 against the principles in the order | in council. The British memorandum makes no attempt to answer the pria- ciples, asserted in the note of that 1 date.
 The American note probably will refer to the British memorandum, but it was said today that the manner | of enforcing the order in council would not be treated as relevant to | the question at issue-whethe there | is any warrant in international law | for the powers that Great Britain and | her allies have assumed to exercise 1 over the commerce of the world.
