A German Set BACK
By The United Press

PETROGRAD. Aug. 4.-General
Won Gallwitz's new drive southwark
toward the Petrograd- Warsaw rail-
way is being held up by stubborn
Russian resistance along the railway
leading through Vyskof. II is Off
cially admitted that the Slav losses
in the past forty-eight hours have
been very heavy.
A brief official bulletin issued to-
day furnished only meager informa-
ton regarding the German assault
from the north, but nevertheless, il
was considered very encouraging in
military circles. Last nights off,
cial communication reported the Ger
mans making progress along the
Narew river. but only with enor-
nous losses" today's bulletin said.
I'VE are valiantly resisting the
enemy's attack on the Narew line.
The Russian losses are very heavy -
Military men here took this to mean
that the German advance has been
brought to a halt, though with heavy
sacrifices of lives. These losses, how
ever, were anticipated in view of re-
ports that Won Gallwitz was prepared
TO batter his way over the Bug by ter
rife artillery fire The belief prevails
here that if the Russian line on the
Narew continues to hold for two more
days the main Russian armies will
have reached the new positions as
signed for them beyond the Vistula.
Although enemy infantry has
crossed the Narew near Schvka. we
! prevented the artillery from cross
ing" continue the official statement.
"In the meantime our own artillery
annihilated several units of the
enemy who were without the support
of their guns.

endeavoring to advance eastwardly

REFUSES

WASHINGTON. Aug. Ave shall

sire to occasion the least possible
nount of inconvenience TO persons en-
eed in Legitimate commerce"
Summarized, it was thus that Eng

NThe communications were friendly
tone. They were not friendly in
f ite the same fervid form of express
bn as the notes which have come
pm Germany, but they we're not less
in effect.
British Foreign Minister Sir Ed
hrd Grey, their author, wrote as if
took il for granted that the two
untries we're on the most cordial
rms-so much so that apparently
did not deem it necessary to say
in so many words His phrase
bgy was amicably crisp and busi-
ss-like His idea, he said. was to
nvince American Ambassador, with
hom, nominally he was conducting
b correspondence, that the blockade
ethods concerning which the United
ates complained "are not only rea-
nable and necessary in themselves,
I constitute no more than an adap-
ion of the old principles of
Dckade to the peculiar circum-
snces with which we are con-
Dnted."
The crux of the American com
aint, as Sir Edward said he under
bod it-correctly. according to in
+ irrational authorities here-was
bat the British we're not only inter
ring with American shipments 10
rman ports. but also to the ports OF
E utral countries adjoining Germany
.Answering this complaint, Sir Ed
Ard refuses to admit that a bel
erent violates any fundamental
inciple of international law by ap-
wing a blockade in such a way as

The note sustained this view with

Phone Service Hard Hit
Falling trees and the wind played
havoc with the telephone lines Of the

This was especially true at New Cas-
tie. which appeared TO bear the brunt
of the storm. When IL became appar-
ent that wire trouble was imminent.
Manager Bardo, OF the telephone COM
pany. ordered out the linesmen and
they worked throughout the night.
Despite this precaution over 1000
phones we're reported out of service
and the New Castle exchange was cut
off from outside sections. This was
due to a fire which for awhile threat
ened the exchange building, but the
Good viii Company and others soon
extinguished the blaze The FIRE was
caused by tree falling over the
wires. which made a short circuit
Communication with Middletown
was also cut off for awhile. but at IL
O'Clock IL was reported that every
point in New Castle county could be
reached by phone. Outside of this
county Il was said that wire trouble
was being reported but the COM
plants we're not as numerous as
those in this section.
The local lines Of the Delmarvia
Telephone Company we're not damaged
much, but the company's long dis
tance service was badly crippled by
the storm.
CauseWay Flooded.
The high wind beating the tides in
the Christiana river caused that
stream to overflow its banks and the
causeway was flooded. This pre-
vented the New Castle trolleys from
reaching Wilmington until late this
morning. The first car to arrive was
at o'clock. With the abatement Of
the wind, the water receded and at
noon conditions we're normal.
Tracks of the Philadelphia and
/ Reading Railway Company were
badly washed out along the line to the
Delaware river pier. Workmen in the
employ of the company repaired the
damage this morning and train service
was not interfered with to the piers.
