Ously of America Position

Washington July 15-The United
States probably will send within an
other fortnight reply to the note
recently received from the Austro-
Hungarian government which con-
tended that the extensive shipments
of war supplies from this country to
the Allies was not in consonance
with the definition Of neutrality"
Unofficially word came today that
Turkey would follow Germany and
Austria in making representations on
this subject and should a note from
the Ottoman government arrive. Off
Gals would delay the sending Of their
answer so as to simultaneously inform
the German allies Of the unaterable
view Of thesAJnited States on arms
shipments.
Details of the answer have not been
divulged. but it is understood that the
United States will not only cite its
rights under international law, but
will recall precedents in previous wars
in which Germany and Austria have
been interested where importations Of
arms were carried on in extensive pro-
portions.
The state department has not made
public the text of the Austrian note
and will not do SO until the reply is
ready.

TURK LINES ARE
CAPTURED WHEN
ALLIES ATTACK
ON CALLIP0Ll

London, July 15.-S.10 P. M.-Two
strongly held Turkish lines defending
the Dardanelles lave been captured
by tie Anglo-French forces on the
Callipol peninsula, according to an
anncune ement given out this evening
by the British official press bureau.
Tie announcement is as follows:
General Ian Hamilton, commander
of the allied forces at the Dardan-
Giles reports that on the 18th inst. the
forces under him made an attack at
daybreak with their right and center.
After heavy and confused fighting.
lasting all day. the troops engaged, in
cluding a French corps, succeeded in
carrying two strongly held and strong
~ fortified lines of Turkish trenches
opposite to them. the ground covered
by the advance varying in depth from
200 10 400 Yards.
The second phase of the operation
was then undertaken, and the right
section of the enemys lines was at
tackled. AS in the former phase, the
first line of trenches was easily car
ried, preliminary bombardment hav-
ing heen very successful. Following up
this success our troops took the Sec
ond line CT trenches, capturing some
so prisoners, and by nightfall the line
was consolidated some 400 yards in
advance of our original position.
In this part of the field in the
course of the night of July 1918, two
counter attacks were successfully re-
pulsed. Dur ug the hours Of darkness.
however, it was found that the Brit
ish right had pressed too far and the
Turks made a successful bomb attack
and captured section of the trenches.
This position, being vital to the safe
ty of life, a further attack was or
ganized. and a brigade of the Royal
Naval Division, supported by French
artillery. was sent forward and re-
took the trenches. In the meantime
the French had pursued their extreme
right down to the mouth of the River
Kereves Dere, where it runs into the
sea This position was maintained
without difficulty.
During the night of the 13th-14th,
as on the previous night, the enemy
counter attacked. but without success.
Thus, in these successful opera
tions. the whole of the original obJec-
tive of the attack was attained, ex-
cept on one small portion of about 300
yards which still remain in the hands
of the Turks.
-Four hundred and twenty-five pris-
cners we're captured, Of whom 200 were
taken by the French in the first at

REMARKS MADE
BY EvERS TO Be =.
INVESTIGATED
BY PRES. TENER

Boston, July 15.~Remarks alleged
by Capt. Evers of the Boston Braves
during last Tuesdays baseball game
with the st. Louis Cardinals, are to
be the subject Of investigation which
President Tener will make tomorrow.
The Braves captain. taking excep-
ton to a decision by Umpire Rigler,
who declared Bob Bescher safe at the
plate on a close play. was quoted in
a newspaper as having shouted:
They're trying to get the crowds
out: they've. ordered close race;
leave them along boys; they're only
following instruction"
Evers later expressed Indignation
because his remarks had been inter-
preted as a claim that the National
League race was "dxed." He said:
II claim no such thing. I've been in
baseball long enough to know better. TIC
be sure, l might have said anything on
the ball field. When an umpire hands
YOU one like Rigler did at the home plate
what you say will invariably be the re-
suit of hard feeling at the time. You're
out there fighting and anything you can
get away with goes. Nobody living
could fix a race like the one in the Ma
tional League just now. It's the great
est ever and we all have a chance"
There is absolutely no truth IN the
story that Capt. Evers said that the Ma
tional League race is fixed" declared
Manager Stalltpgs Of the Braves. Il
have personally made thorough 'inves'
tigation of the report and mad 1t to be
false. Johnny Evers has been with me
two years and a straighter and more
honorable ball player cannot be found.
"Evers has devoted the best years OF
his life to organized baseball and 1t is
absurd to suppose that ne would nov at
tempt to tear it down. A few years ago
he had an opportunity to jump to the
outlaws. Instead he stayed by organized
ball and is now, as ever. one Of its most
loyal members

Exchange Rests

General business on the Cardiff Coal
Exchange has ceased, owing to the
government reQuisition for the Admir-
atty Of all available coal supplies,
while shipping and the railways which
depend upon the mines also had little
to do today. There is a general i'm
preston. however, that the strike will
not last long.
All the responsible labor leaders Of
the country are opposed to the strike,
and while it is hard to see how the
government can enforce the penalties
of the munitions act. it is believed the
men will be influenced by the fact that
they are opposing an act which was
passed for the safety Of the country.
The strike has been forced by the
men Of the Tberdar valley who are
strong syndicates and have declared
that the present was a good time to
force the government to take over
the mines.
This policy has been advocated by
the Independent labor party, which is
more extreme than the regular labor
party, and one Of the leaders Of which
is ]. Kerr Hardie, whose parliament
tary constituency includes the Aber-
dare valley.
Asked in the House Of Commons to-
day what steps II any. had been TAX
en- to suppress the organs Of the i'm
dependent labor party, Premier As
quith replied that the question Of in
creasing the power conferred by the
Defence Of the Realm act. was being
considered.
Some of the miners Of the western
district Of South Wales have agreed
to resume work tomorrow.

Occupy Przasnysz

They have not OF captured large
numbers Of prisoners south Of Kolno.
according to the Port issued by Ber-
lin today. but have occupied Przasnysz.
a fortified town so miles north Of War
saw. which was taken by Won linden
burg in his great drive from East
Prussia last winter. but was re-taken
by the Russians in their counter-offen-
sive.
This claim is partly confirmed by the
Russian official report issued yester-
day, which stated that the Russians in
the face of strong German forces
withdrew to their second line Of en-
trenchments.
Surprising Move
This move on the .paft of the Ger
mans has taken the military critics
completely by SURPRISE 1t was gener-
ally supposed that Gen. Won Macken-
zen would, after being strengthened,
continue his attempt to reach the
Lublin- Cholm railway. thus forcing
tn evacuation of Warsaw. But, as in
all their operations, the Germans have
done the unexpected. The new often
sive will probably be general and ex-
tend from the Baltic around the East
Prussian border to the Vistula, west
of Warsaw. for all the Russian troops
in this section must be kept busy to
prevent them from concentrating at
the point where the Germans hope to
break through.
This is the second time Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg has tried this. His last
effort. while it freed east Prussia Of the
Russians, cost the Germans an immense
number Of men and very nearly involved
them in disaster owing to the muddy
condition Of the ground. Now. however.
there are only bad roads or lack of
roads to contend with, but it is possible
that the Germans have built railways
to their northern front. as they have
done in central Poland.
In France, the Argonne continues to
be the center Of the hardest fighting. but
of the operations here, as elsewhere In
the west, the official accounts are as
contradictory as usual. At any rate. no
great movement Aido OCCl uNuCIt dnSN
and no change in the line that would
be recognized on an ordinary map has
occurred.
On GallipoIi
Confirpation was received tonight from
General Sir Ian Hamilton Of the success
which for some days the Allies were
reported to have achieved on the Gallip-
oil peninsula. According to this report
two lines of Turkish trenches were cap
tured together with 400 prisoners. The
Turks, on the other hand. claim to have
repulsed the Allies attacks.
AS anticipated, progress against the
Turks is very slow owing to the natural
and strongly fortified positions which
they hold. But British military authori-
ties express satisfaction with the gain
of an occasional line Of trenches. relying
on breaking the morale Of the Turks and
on the exhaustion Of their supply Of am
munition. Germany's eagerness to have
Rumania allow the passage of ammuni-
ton through that country to Turkey is
taken to mean that the supply is rum
ming short

Newport News, Va.-The German

the elusive raider of in
the south Atlantic, slipped into the
port Sunday and asked for fuel and
provisions.
Many times reported destroyed, the
former North German Lloyd liner
had evaded hostile warships for eight
months While she sent IA merchant,

said she was forced to steal her way
past four of the enemy's cruisers Oft

I'VE got in without being seen by

Lieutenant Captain Paul T~hierfelder

man cruiser Karlsruhe, in a statement
Sunday night.
When she dropped anchor the
Kronzprinz Wilhelm had less than %
tons of coal and scanty provisions
for the crew of 500 men and 81 pris,
oners from British merchant ships
sunk in the south Atlantic.
OF the IA ships that the ~15,000-ton
cruiser sank, nine were British, four
French and one Norwegian.
The value of these ships and their
cargoes, officers of the Wilhelm es.
timated at $1,000, 900.
The KronzprinZ Wilhelm followed in
the wake of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich
which arrived here a month ago, after
thrilling and effective operations for
the German arms.
Took Off 900 Passengers.
In her raid of the seas since she
slipped out of New York harbor after
October 3 last, as a merchant and
passenger steamer, the Kronprinz Will
helm never touched land and took
$50 passengers from various vessels
destroyed.
Most of these were sent to South
American ports at different times on
German ships which met the raider
in response to wireless calls. The 81
now on board, who will be landed
here tomorrow, are British sailors
from the steamships lamar, destroyed
March 25, and Coleby, destroyed
March 81 last.
The second of the raiders brought
as thrilling a story as did the Eitel
Friedrich. Her record of destruction,
however, was accomplished with only
four guns, two taken from the Ger
man cruiser Karlsruhe, and two cap
tured later from the British merchant
steamer La Correhtina, sunk October
Z, 1914.
