Copenhagen, June is dispatch to
"The London Morning POstD.-
A Danish student of economics who
just returned from a visit to the
Krupp workmen's cottages at Essen
states that since the war began the
number of workers increased from
10000 to $4,000.
In the opinion of the employees
the production of the 42-centimetre
guns is only a prelude to the manu-
facture of heavy guns of immense
range. Great surprises may at
no very distant date be expected.
The work at present is practically
concentrated on the manufacture OF
long range artillery.

Germany's Baltic Move
Deep Strategic Plan
tBy Gable to The Tribune

Petrograd, July 25 dispatch to "The
Morning Post" of London) The
Germans are developing a new move
ment or plan. 1t appears that the
attack in the Baltic provinces, direct
ed seemingly upon Riga, was merely
a preliminary movement TO aid an ad
vance in quite a different direction.
Before reaching Mitau-that is, one
Gays long march from Riga the
enemy suddenly turned south eastward
and simultaneously other movements
were developed.
Junishky, on the highroad twenty
six miles northeast Of Shawl, was
seized, and from Rossieny, forty miles
south Of Shawl, another quite dis
tinct force has begun a march due east.
The column which seized Junishky,
Ike the columns recently engaged be
fcre Mitau, is marching southeast.
These combined movements are being
made in such force as 20 prove their
Importance TO the German general
strategic plan.
Experts here no longer speak of the
German operations north of the Me
men as demonstrations or diversions.
but regard them as indicating that the
onemy's strategic scheme ~ much
more vast in conception than had
hitherto been supposed. The only
pulling point in this Interpretation
is the impOssibility of conjecturing
whence the Germans are drawing the
astounding numbers which are now UNI
doubtedly in action on the Russian
fronts

CONDEMNS NOTE
TO BERLIN AS
AN ULTIMATUNI
German-AmericanA Alliance
Says Government Makes
1t Hard to Avoid War.

Utica, ~ Y, July 25.-The German
American Alliance of New York State,
in convention here, announced to-day
the adoption of resolution, a copy of
which was sent to President Wilson,
which urges peace low g people" and
especially Americans Of German ORR
GIN" to protest against any attempt to
draw this country into the European
war.
The preamble to the resolution quotes
from the Presidents latest note to
Germany, which il condemns and calls
an ultimatum. 1t says that the stand
of our government makes impossible
any compromise or a settlement of diff
ferences by arbitration and is not in
accordance with the humanitarian,
peace promoting policy of our repub-
lie, thus creating a situation out of
which Congress when eventually called
can hardly find a solution other than a
declaration of war against our old
fatherland" Continuing, IT says:
Germany in this controversy has
made concessions to our government
which will guarantee the safety of
American passengers, so long as we do
not export war material to the bellig-
erents on passenger ships, thereby
pointing out between TWO friendly ma
tions the way for an amicable settle
ment of existing as we'll as future diff
ferences, in line with our pas arbitra-
tion policy"
The resolution concludes as follows /:
Eve support with the greatest energy
the standpoint of the friends Of peace
as expressed in recent gigantic mass
meeting attended by 100000 citizens
at Madison Square Garden in New York
City, and We appeal 10 the peace loving
people Of our country and especially
to the Americans of German origin,
who are affected most by a conflict
with their mother country, to take part
by mass demonstrations and by over
whelming attendance at the National
Peace Congress TO be held at Chicago
on September and 6, 1915, so as to
demonstrate TO the President that, ex-
cepting in the case of hostile attack
or an invasion of our country, the
American people are determined not to
let themselves become involved in war
with any nation"
The signers Of the resolution include
Theodore Sutro, Of New York; Henry
W. Brendel, Of Buffalo; Alexander +.
Oberlander, Of Syracuse, and Dr. Hugo
Sehweitzer, of Brooklyn.

Paris Newspapers Praise
Notes Tone and Contents

Paris, July 25-Comment in the
Paris Sunday morning newspapers ex-
presses undisguised satisfaction with
the American note to Germany.
"The blow has fallen" says the
Petit Parisien." thereafter il is by
deeds that the Washington Cabinet
will judge the German naval policy"
Pralsing President Wilson's judicial
turn Of mind, the paper comoares the
time it took Germany TO reply 10 the
second American note with the time
required by President Wilson in pre-
pairing his latest communication.
"The Berlin Chancellery," the Petit
Parisien' continues, tried 10 compli-
cate the problem. 1t misled discus
sion into side paths and raised every
opportunity for complementary
question. President Wilson restates
the naked proposition: Does the Ger
man Admiralty, responsible for the
Lusitania crime, intend 10 renounce
the destruction of neutral vessels with
human beings aboard? Yes or no.
II yes, II should say so; IL no, any
future transgression will precipitate
rupture Of German-American rela-
tons"
"The monotony Of a long dialogue
which has lasted for months between
Germany and the United States" says
the "Geulois," "has been lighted up
for the first time by a grave and firm
ripost, in which is affirmed. without
buster but with a conscious power,
the determination of a great nation
no longer 10 let itself be scofTed at
by diplomacy based on expedients."
The Echo de Paris" comments IRON
ically on the continuation Of an ex-
change Of polite phrases between Ger
many and the United States, saying
that this means America admits the
principle Of submarine warfare, and
adds:
Not only will German submarines
continue to operate despite the Ameri-
can note, but the latest note makes il
possible that under certain conditions
their activity may become Ncit in the
eyes of the United States"
Undoubtedly" the "Natin" says
"the new American note again opens
10 the Germans a way out which they
assuredly will try TO make larger"
Several newspapers see in the direct
ness and simplicity Of the latest note
q difference between the policies OF
Secretary of State Lansing and his
predecessor, William J. Bryan.

Milan, July 25.-The attitude OF
