TEXT OF NOTES EXPRESSED EN-.
PHATlc pIsPLEAsURE OF
THE UNITED STATES.
PRONOUNCED STAND TAKEN
Pointed Statements That American
Vessels Should Have Free and
Unrestricted Passage Through
Unblockaded Waters.

Washington. - The United States
has warned Great Britain that general
use Of the American flag by British
vessels would be viewed with con-
cern here, and has notified Germany
that destruction by her Of any An err
lean vessel In the newly prescribed
wal zone would lead to serious COM
plications.
1t became known that the text Of
the two notes, sent to Great Britain
and Germany, expressed much more
emphatically than had generally been
given out the d~ispleasure Of the Unit
cd States at the s Of neutral flags
by British merchantmen and its solic-
itude over the implication that neu-
trail vessels were liable to destruction
by German submarines In the waters
around Great Britain and Ireland.
The notes were transmitted to Am
bassadors Page at London and Gerard
at Berlin.
In the note sent Ambassador Gerard
for presentation to the German for-
elgn office, there is a friendly but
pointed statement that American YES
sells should have free and unrestricted
passage through the high seas and un-
blockaded waters and that destruc-
ton of an American vessel might lead
to a change in the hitherto friendly re-
latiOns which have existed between
the United States and Germany.
Representations in the note to Great
Britain are not based on the Lusitania
incident, but on the statement Of the
| British foreign office justifying use
Of neutral flags by its vessels.
The United States unequivocally
says. it is understood a continuance
OF that practice wor'i Dc highly dan

RUSSIANS LEAVE BUKOWINA
Museovites Again Advancing With
Koenigsburg az the Object
i've Point.

London.-The Daily Telegraph's Blu
charest correspondent says:
Fresh particulars received here
from the Bukowina frontier indicate
that the Russians have commenced the
evacuation Of that province"
Petrograd.-By their advance to-
ward Madvorna and Kaloza, which is
evidently being made in great force,
the Austro-German armies threaten
the Russians In that quarter with the
alternative Of Isolation or the complete
evacuation Of Bukowina.
London.-In the eastern theater OF
war the Germans, checked in their ef
forts TO break the Russian lines before
Warsaw, have transferred many troops
to East Prussia to meet the Russian
offensive there. This offensive threat
ems to drive a wedge between Tilsit
and Insterburg and so to turn the for,
titled position in the extremely diff
cult country Of the Mazurian Lakes.
II this movement succeeds, the Rus
SLAMS would overrun a considerable
part Of East Prussia and again would
be on their way to K~oenigsberg and
DanZig.
The campaign In the Carpathians
and In Galicia is not so easy to fol
low, as official reports are sparing in
information. 1t is evident, however,
that while the Russian offensive In
the western passes Is being pushed
with strength, and has proved partial
ly successful, 1t has been met by
stronger opposition In the eastern
passes, with the result that the Rus
SLAMS have been compelled to fall back
in Kukowina. They have repeatedly
done this, only to give the Austrians
battle when they ~debouched from the
Russian end of the passes, and 1t Is
presumed that this is their intention
10Y
Operations are on SO large and com
plicated a scale that It may be weeks
before any definite decision Is reach
ed. The fierce German attack on the
Warsaw front again is at a %standstill,
according to reports from both Berlin
and P%etrograd. On each wing Of the
eastern battle line, however, fierce en-.
gagements continue.
A Russian communication claims
that the Russians have made progress
on the Hungarian side of the Western
Ca%rpathian ranges, as well as gained
success in the direction Of Mezolabo
req, which resulted in driving back the
enemy

Student Invents
Chinese Typewriter

NEW YORK, April 3.-The first
Chinese typewriter has been invented
by student In New York university,
Henen Chi. II makes 1900 characters.
The inventor believes that with prac-
tice speed of forty words a minute
may be obtained-which is quite good
for Chinese.
The machine has only three keys.
One il back spacer. another the
space key and the third the key with
which all the 1900 characters used
are struck. The characters are made
up OF combinations Of radicals" or
base characters. There are about
$4,000 possible combinations.
Henen Chi, the inventor. conceived
the idea that typewriter could be
made to write Chinese while he was
at his home in southern China three
years ago. He began a study of the
Chinese dictionary to isolate the rad
ical" or base characters of the words
In most cases on character represents
q whole word in Chinese, though thou
sands of characters are made up o.
simpler characters which alone repre-
sent words themselves. =
