BRITAIN PREPARING
NOTE ON NAVAL WAR
American Officials Expect Docu.
ment Within a Week,

Washington, July 2S.-Slight pros
pect that Great Britain intends to
take steps for the modification of
maritime warfare is seen by officials
here.
The possibility that such steps may
be contemplated is admitted as the
result of Sir Edward Grey's request
that publication Of the latest British
note be withheld until the receipt Of
supplementary document being pre-
pared.
In official circles, however, no rea-
son is known why any such proposals
should be expected from Great Britain
at this time.
While the British minister did not
indicate in any way the contents or
nature Of the supplementary communi-
cation which his government desires
to have considered with the one re-
ceived the expectation here is that it
will prove to be merely an extension
of the arguments in the first note.
In informing this government of his
intention to send a further note Sir
Edward Grey indicated the supple
mentary communication will be hand
ed to Ambassador Page at London
within a week.
The state department will observe
the wish Of the British government.

~ Washington, July 2S.-The gratitude
Of the German Red Cross for hospital
supplies and four motor ambulances
sent by the American Red Cross is
expressed in a letter received at Red
Cross Headquarters, announcing the
arrival of the shipment in Germany.
I'VE rejoice greatly over the gener-
osity Of the American Red Cross,
which has been so manifest through
their gifts, the letter said.
I'VE are particularly interested and
pleased to know that the students of
Yale and Harvard universities. who
represent the highest intelligence, are
responsible for the gift of four am
bulances.'
A similar letter came from Count

London, July 2S.-The Austro-Ger-

armies defending Warsaw and to cap
ture the Polish capital, which for a
time progressed almost with the mo-
mentum of the offense which cleared
Galicia Of the Russian troops, have
been brought nearly to a standstill

Along the western bank of the Wis

has been made, while along the Narew
three counter attacks, according to
Petrograd, have succeeded in forcing
the Germans who had crossed the
river to return to the northern bank
at several points, but Berlin asserts
that they completely failed and that
the German force is advancing in an
easterly direction.
Further to the south the Germans
continue their advance eastward to-
wards the Vilna-Petrograd railway,
but there is a lot of territory to COW
er before this is reached and it is
considered more likely that General
Won Buelow, who is in command here,
will turn to the southwest to threaten
the Russian armies which are facing
Won Hindenburg.
Everywhere the battles are at their
height, especially that in which Won
Mackensen is engaged. All the mill
tary critics here believe that this is
the most critical engagement of the
campaign, for the whole German plan
depends on his reaching the Lublin-
Chem railway
With interest largely centered on
the east the important offensive of
the French in Alsace has been almost
disregarded. They report another
success to the north of Munster,
which apparently is their objective.
and the repulse of a series of Ger
man counter attacks. The French have
concentrated a lot of artillery in this
region and with high explosives have
been simply tearing up the German
defensive works, which are among the
strongest along the whole line.
Artillery, likewise is playing an i'm
portant part in the battles On the
Izonso, where the Italians are report
ed to have concentrated for three days
their fire on the Austrian positions.
