German Reply Viewed Here As
Quite Likely to Bring Crisis

Washington, D. Carnival of the
press translation of the German note
confirmed impressions which have been
current in official quarters for several
days that Germany would refuse to
give the assurances asked for by the
United States that the lives of Ameri-
cans travelling the high seas on un-
armed ships of any nationality be not
endangered.
The press copy arrived too late to be
read by many officials, and those who
saw it said they could not comment
until the official text from Ambassa-
dor Gerard had arrived.
Assumption of liability for the loss
of Americans in the Lusitania tragedy
was considered to have been wholly
evaded by Germany, and the chief
principle for which the United States
announced that it would omit "no word
or act" to see observed was viewed as
having been passed over lightly.
The general feeling that the note
would be unsatisfactory and bring to
crisis the friendly relations that have
existed between the United States and
Germany developed more strongly in
official quarters.

TwO-Cent Rate Causes Railroads 10
Withdraw Many Public Privileges

Chicago-W. ]. Cannon, assistant
general passenger agent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad,
continuing his testimony in the west
ern passenger rate hearing here, said
the two-cent fare laws had wiped out
the practice of granting special rates
to fairs, conventions and resorts where
the hauls are short ones.
Experience" he said "has proved
that the institution of reductions like
tourists fares has generally stimulated
travel and as large percentage is
carried on regular trains the railroads
can afford to make such reductions.
Tourist fares of all characters are open
to the public and necessarily reduced
the average rate per mile. Homeseek-
ers' fares, which apply to round-trip
have been made for many
years to the West, Southwest and
Northwest, and the demand continues.
"The carriers are vitality interested in
inducing settlers to take up or pur-
chase land.
Experience shows that the bargain
rate principle of granting such con-
cessions on certain days is factor Of
consequence in accomplishing the de-
sired result"

American Passenger Ships May
Sail Freely in War Zone.
OFFICIAL GUARANTEES ASKED OF U. S.
German Reply Makes Conditions for
Travel Under Own Flag or On
Neutral Passenger Ships.

Berlin, via London = Germany's
offer, embodied in the reply to the
United States note regarding the sink
ing of the Lusitania and submarine
warfare, was delivered to James W..
Gerard, the American ambassador,
Saturday night. Its essential features
are: =
First, reiterated assurances that
American ships engaged in legitimate
trade will not be interfered with nor
the lives Of Americans upon neutral
ships be endangered.
Second, that German submarines
will be instructed to allow American
passenger ships to pass freely and
safely, Germany entertaining in re-
turn confident hope that the American
government will see that these ships
do not carry contraband; such ships to
be provided with distinguishing marks
and their arrival announced reason
able time in advance.
The same privilege is extended to a
reasonable number of neutral passen-
ger ships under the American flag and
should the number of ships thus avail
able for passenger service prove made
quate Germany is willing to permit
America to place four hostile passen-
ger steamers under the American flag
to ply between North America and
Europe under the same conditions.

Steamer Minnehaha Arrives in Port
After Terrific Explosion and Fire

Halifax, N. S.-A bomb placed
aboard the Atlantic transport liner
Minnehaha,' probably while she lay at
her pier in New York, caused the ex-
plosion and fire at sea, in the opinion
of the officers of the steamer, which
put in here for examination Saturday
with the fire still unextinguished.
The explosion occurred in No. 8
hold, and was of terrific force, shaking
the vessel from stem to stern. Those
of the crew who were forward at the
time were stunned by the shock and
two sailors were hurled into the air.
Flames followed, and for two days and
nights the crew battled to save the
ship.
There is no doubt in the minds Of
the officers that Erich Muenter, alias
Frank Holt, or confederates, were re-
sponsible for the explosion, which oc-
Cured at 4:l5 o'clock on the afternoon
of July Z, the date on which Muenter
predicted that some vessel, as to the
name of which he appeared uncertain,
would be destroyed.

FRENCH SUCCESSFUL
AGAINST GERMANS
Commanding Points Over Plain
Of Flanders Heights Won.
BOTH SIDES USING HEAVY ARTILLERY
Night Attacks Spectacular Reports
Say Teutons Lose 10000 Men
During 120 Days Battle.

Paris--After battling 100 days for
the hilly country between Bethune and
Arras, the French forces are in possess
sion of all the eminences looking out
upon the plain Of Flanders. Lille,
Douai and Cabrai all are visible from
here.
Every position along the broad ma
tional road between Arras and Bethune
has been won except Souchez, and last
night another quarter-mile of trenches
in the Souchez web was torn away.
The attack was made under parachute
rocket lights, the French burning
blush white and the Germans greenish
white, covering the scene Of the des-
perate conflict with a ghastly glow.
The most desperate fighting has, beer
along the short 10-mile front from
Arras to AK Noulette, which began
March with the taking of few hun.
dred yards of trenches on the water
shed of Notre Dame de Lorette, where
there are the ruins of an old Merovin.
gian military road. Every day since
then some section of the German
trenches have been taken, lost or re.
taken.
Each side has been employing for
midable artillery, both of small anc
heavy caliber, the French guns being
somewhat the more numerous anc
served with unlimited quantities Of
high-explosive shells.
A correspondent Of the Associated
Press went through five or six miles Of
the trenches formerly held by the Ger
mans and reconstructed by the French.
Upward Of 100, 900 Germans have
fallen or been captured in these
trenches, according to the French Off
cial count, since the second week Of
March. The French losses, the cor
respondent was confidentially informed,
while serious, have been much smaller
than those of the Germans. There are
thickets of little crosses made of twigs
tied together marking graves between
the trenches. Some of these graves
have been torn up by the shell fire.

The verdict at London has been ren

prior to the sale, were in any wise
skeptical as to the maintenance of
prices, the general support accorded to
wool sales in London should be ample
demonstration to them of the worlds

says the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
The sale in Sydney, Australia, this
week followed the lead of London. In
Boston, too, prices are firmer and in

Australia Demands More Butter

fuStdId GCtItduuS HuOTc PuttCIs
The strong California export demand
for butter is keeping the Portland mar
ket very firm and higher range of
prices for cubes in the near future is
probable. The belief prevails in the
trade that the 1,500, 900 pounds of but
ter already shipped from San Francisco
to Australia will find its way later to
England. 1t is the understanding here
that Australia butter shippers con-
tracted to supply the British govern
ment with large quantity of butter
to make up for the deficiency in Dam
ish shipments, and, being unable to
complete the contract because of the
Australian drouth, they have turned to
the Pacific Coast for supply. What
puzzles the trade is why the American
butter, if intended for England, is not
sent direct to London instead Of by
way Of Sydney.
Egg buying prices were unchanged
with the opening of the week. The
poultry and dressed meat markets were
quiet and unchanged.
