TAKE GERMAN TRENCHES
British Also Capture 80 Prisoners
General French Announces In
Report

London. July Field Marshal Sir
John French, commanding the Brit
ish evolutionary force in France, re-
ports that his force captured 200
wards of German trenches on the en-
treme left.
The text of his communication fol-
lows:
July 6-Since the last report there
has been 70 change in the situation
ON our front. The fighting has been
mainly confined to intermittent artil-
lery duels, the feature Of which has
been the employment by the enemy os
a large quantity of gas shells, par
ticularly il, the neighborhood Of Ypres
During this period the enemy ex-
ploded eight mines at different points
on our front without doing any dam
age. On the other hand, on June 80
we blew ir so yards of the enemy's
front line north Of Neuve Chapelic.
"On the evening of the 18th north OF
Ypres a German sap was blown in
by our howitzer fire and a platoon Of
infantry advanced to complete ftS
destruction. The few Germans who
survived the artillery hombardment
were driven out with the bayonet ard
Il machine gun in the sap was fouEd
TO be destroyed.
"On the morning Of the 9Th the
Germans rushed barricade on the
railway after two
hours artillery bombardment, but a
counter-attack by our troops immc-
diately recaptured the position.
yesterday morning on our eS-
treme left north Of Ypres we cap
tured about 200 yards of the enemy's
trenches, taking so prisoners. The
French on our left contributed to the
success of this enterprise with the
fire of their guns and trench NOR
tars."

SLAVS BRACING LINE.
English Press Now Taking More
Hopeful View of the Situation in
Galicia and Vicinity.
Taking More

London, July with the excep-
ton of certain sections between the
! Vistu!a and the Bug, the Austro-Ger-
man rush in the eastern war zone
seems 10 be losing its momentum.
The Russians have braced them
selves and are holding at most points
| along their line, although the Aus.
.rians claim continued progress to
! the northeast of krasnik and far
ther east, along the River Viepr2,
! in the neighborhood Of Tarnogrod.
This is a critical section so far
as a northward blow at Warsaw is
concerned, but it is evident that the
! Russians are stiffenng their resis-
tance after their long retreat and
the British Press, for the first time
in weeks, takes 4 more cheerful view
Of the eastern situation.
1t is noteworthy that Berlin's. Off
cial commun ications speaks only OF q
gain on the Northern Poland front,
leaving the southeastern field entire
~ to the Austrians, who in their Off
cial statement. emphasize that an
advance on the centre between the
Vistula and the Bug was made by
"Austrians.
The quiet which had prevailed on
the British front in Flanders so long
has been broken by British gain
Of German trenches to the north Of
Tpre5. Tie dd"alce was made after
typical trench warfare tactics, backed
by French artillery.
This part Of the western front still
holds its reputation as Il gas area,
! Field Marshal French again ecount-
! ing how the Germans have been bonn
harding Ypres with gas shells.
The last "a hours have brought re-
aewed rumorS that the Germans arc
| planning to launch new offensive III
he west, their aim being to duplicate
their Galician tactics and break
! through to Calais at all costs. Re-
| ports to this effect came almost SIM
ultaneouSly from Zurich, Brussels.
! Paris and Amsterdam. The London
rapers give them prominence, al
i ,hough how much is guesswork and
how much is based on facts it is
impossible to determine. According
to the Zurich report 10 German army
corps. which have been 'recuperatinE
! IN the interior from the rigors OF the
! Galician campaign. are now moving

ACCUSED OF RECRUITING
Americans Forced Into British Arm!
Complaints Say

Washington, July 7-Secretarv of
State Lansing has received vigorous
complaints against the practice Of
British recruiting officers In seeking
recruits from Americans who land in
English ports aboard vessels from
! this country.
| Just what pressure these officers
bring to bear upon Americans was
not explained by Mr.. Lansing but nc
let it be understood that efforts had
been made 10 put citizens of this
country into the British Army ana
that Congressman and Senator whose
constituents were involved had taken
the matte. up with the Departmen!
Of State.
The complaints come chiefly from
New England and related to boys 10
l6 and II years old, There has been
no evidence or allegation that the
practice was organized by the Brit
ish Government, said Lansing. The
embassy in London has been instruct
ed to look into the matter.
Most of the Americans who have
protested against the methods of the
British recruiting officers it SEEM,
shipped from Atlantic coast ports Tor
England on cattle or horse vessels
Some of them are adventurous stu
dents while others were picked up II
America by shipmasters and given
employment for the voyage;

HOLT HAS CAUSED

Suggested That He May:
Have Placed Bomb on
Atlantic Liner
DISASTER FOR JULY 7
Four Passenger Steamers Sailed
From New York Last Saturday
Anxiety for Their Safety.

New York, July THAT Frank
Holt, who killed himself in his cell
last night, after attempting to blow
up the Capitol at Washington and
kill J. P. Morgan, hid bomb on Il
liner now bound from here to Eng
land, was feared by authorities TO-
day.
Before his attack on J. P. Morgan
he sent letter to the authorities
saying a vessel which sailed from
New York July 8 would be blown up
on July Z.
Much secrecy was observed con-
cernng the letter, but it was known
by the authorities here and secret
service officials in Washington were
informed concerning it.
Whether the threat was empty o.
not, the police have no means Of
knowing.
Four steamers sailed from New
York, July 3, for European ports.
They were the Philadelphia, of the
American line, bound for Liverpool;
the Chicago of the French line, bound
for Bordeaux; the SaXonia, of the
Cunard line, bound for Liverpool; and
the Kristianiafjord, of the Norwe-
gian-American line, bound for Ber-
gen.
It could> not be learned whether
any wireless warnings had been
flashed to sea IRON Government sta
tions.
1t seemed unlikely today that the
mystery surrounding Holt ever would
be cleared up.
Holt's suicide in the Jail here last
night has stopped, temporarily at
least, all efforts to identify him as
Erich Muenter, the long sought Har-
ward professor who murdered his
wife. Hollis leap of twenty feet I'd
the stone tagging beneath his cell
tier mutilated his head, making it
very improbable that old friends OF
Muenter, now on their way here, can
identify the German peace fanatic
and the wife murderer as the same
man.

Tentative Draft Of Re-
joinder Submitted In
formally to Gerard
WILSON IS ADVISED
High Officials Agree That Approval
Would Sacrifice Important Ameri-
can Rights.
can Rights.

Washington, July 7-Germany has
submitted informally to the United
States, through Ambassador Gerard in
Berlin, tentative draft of its reply
to the note of June 9, which asked for
assurance that American right on the
high seas would not be further vio-
lated by German submarine COM
manders.
After careful examination Of the
contents of the proposed note as out
lined by ambassador Gerard, which
comedies with Berlin press dispatches
of the last few days, high officials are
practically agreed that the United
States cannot without sacrificing i'm
portant neutral rights express its ap-
proval of the German proposals in
their present form.
The draft was shown to ambas-
sador Gerard with the idea of elicit
ing from him an expression OF opinion
and he promptly asked for instruc-
tions from Washington as TO whether
the United States could make con-
cessions. President Wilson has been
advised of the situation in messages
sent to his summer residence at Cor
nish, N. H.. and the impression OBJ
tanned tonight from reliable quarters
was that the American government
very probably would instruct its am
bassador within day Of two to de-
cline to express any view until alter
The formal reply is delivered to him.
Just what Germany proposed has
not been officially divulged. Secretary
Lansing to-day took the position that
it would not he proper for him to DIS
close Germany's position as lnfor-
mal!y reported by Mr.. Gerard with
ont authorization from the Berlin
Government. He stated merely that
there had been no exchange of views
or Informal negotiations between
Germany and the United States ar"
declined to predict whether there
would be.
From Berlin dispatches and au-
thoritative sources here it Is learnea
however, that the note as drafted oy
the German Foreign Office with En-
peror Williams subsequent approVal
would give assurance that Americans
might travel with safety on the h'eh
seas on certain conditions imposed
bv Germany, such as the marking Oh
belligerent vessels carrying Amer'-
cans, notification by the United STATES
to Germany of the date OF departure
and character of such vessels ana al
inspection insuring their noncarrla@e
of munitions Of war.
