many's latest note to the United

lean sailing ship William P. Frye by
the Prinz Eitel Friedrich. received
here today, makes the far-reaching
claim of a right to destroy any Amer

while agreeing to pay damages for
the act.
Two points made by the United
States are rejected by Germany. One
was the statement of the American
government in its note OF April 2S
that prize court proceedings meant
unnecessary delay, all matters con-
cerned being susceptible for prompt
settlement through diplomatic chan
nels, and the other was that the de-
struction of the Frye was "unques-
tionably violation of the obligations
imposed upon the Imperial govern
ment under existing treaty stipula-

Prussia" f

MORE FIGHTING ALONG. IsoNzo

ROME, June 1O.-(Via Paris. D
Efforts OF Italian troops to force a
passage of the Isonzo river are being
stubbornly contested by the Aus
trians, but are meeting with success,
according to a statement signed by
General Cadorna, chief Of the general
staff. issued at the War office last
night.
The communication follows:
with tile object of repulsing the
enemy from the dominating positions he
still holds on the right bank OF the Isonzo
and establishing strong positions at the
passages /of the river, we continued our
operations on June and s. The enemy
offered a determined resistance. favored
by the lay of the ground and strong for
tiflcations. Our passage was made more
difficult by numerous obstacles placed
on the bridges and In the roads and also
by the flooded ground along the lower
course of the river.

Everywhere our troops fought with
ardor and tenacity and succeeded in taxi
ing important positions. which enabled
us to occupy the city of Monfalcone. The
fire of our batteries considerably dam
aged the enemys artillery at a number OF
points.
I'm the difficult region of Monte Nero,
a successful attack ON our part led to the
occupation of positions from which the
Austrians fled, leaving 100 bodies. which
we buried, and sixty wounded
Near Caportetto seventy Bosnian SOL
diers surrendered.
I'm other regions along the Isonzo we
made over 400 prisoners. Our losses were
unimportant. Prisoners say the Austrian
losses were considerable.
"On the TyTol-rrentino frontier our
forces continue in close cooperation in
their action against positions which must
be occupied in order to force the enemy
to disclose his defensive preparations and
permit the development OF Interior oper-
Etions.

passengers or crew. The govern
-ment Of the United States, however.
does not understand that the i'm
perial German government is seeking
in this case to relieve itself of liza
bility, but only intends to set forth
the circumstances which led the COM
mander of the submarine TO allow
himself to be hurried into the course
which he took.
"Your excellency's note, in dis
cussing the loss of American lives
resulting from the sinking of the
steamship Lusitania, adverts at some
length. to certain information which
the imperial German government has
received with regard to the char
acter and outfit OF that vessel and
your excellency expresses the fear
that this information may not have
been brought TO the attention of the
government OF the United States. II
Is stated in the note that the Lusi-
tania was undoubtedly equipped with
masked guns, supplied with trained
gunners and special ammunition,
transporting troops from Canada,
carrying a cargo not permitted under
the laws of the United States to a
vessel also carrying passengers and
serving, in virtual effect, as an
auxiliary to the naval forces OF
Great Britain. Fortunately these are
matters concerning which the gov
ernment of the United States is in a
rnsition to give the imperial German
government information or the
facts alleged in your excellency's
note, IL true, the government Of the
United States would have been
bound to take official cognizance in
performing its recognized duty as a
neutral power and in enforcing its
national laws. 1t was its duty to see
to 1t that the Lusitania was not
armed for offensive action. that It
was not serving as a transport. that
1t did not carry a cargo prohibited
by the statues OF the United States
and that If in fact 1t was a naval yes
sci Of Great Britain 1t should not re-
ceive clearance as a merchantmen;
and It performed that duty, enforced
its statutes with scrupulOus vigilance
through its regularly constituted Of
ficials.
