GERMANS GAIN FIRST
ADVANTAGE IN BATTLE

= sekAE y
Petrograd, July AFTER terrific
bombardment of the Slav trenches
General Mackensen has won a TEN.
porary victory in the first stages of
the great battle south of Lublin, the
war Office admitted.
From Kresnik eastward to the
Wieprz river the Russians have been
forced to retire on a thirty-eight-
mile front.
The Austro-Germans shelled the
Slav trenches for twelve hours, hurl-
ing hundreds of thousands of pro.
jectiles and blowing out whole Sec
tions of earthworks. When these po-
sitions were no longer tenable the
Russians retired upon new defensive
positions less than twenty miles from
Lublin.
Mackensen's right wing, however,
was checked and thrown back by the
Russians Between the Wieprz and
Bug rivers all Austro-German attacks
were beaten back. In one narrow
section between Krylof and Sokal,
fifty-eight miles north of Lemberg,
the Russians took several hundred
prisoners.

MANY MILES OF FORTS
TO PROTECT WARSAW

London, July Especial correspond
ents in Petrograd telegraph opti'
mistic predictions concerning com.
ing Russian campaign for the defense
of Warsaw which forms the center of
a vast circle of 100 miles of strong
Notifications. Even the fall of the
fortress of Ivangorod, according to
these correspondents, would not mean
the loss of the Polish capital.
Fighting, described as desperate in
the official Petrograd reports, is rag
ing between the Vistula and Bug riv.
ers, along the base of triangle of
which Warsaw forms the apex.
The German thrust against the
French positions to the west of the
Moselle river apparently has not ex-
tended beyond the infantry attack
which regained the trenches previ-
pusly lost by the Germans, but prepa-
rations probably are under way for
further advance, as Paris reports q
violent bombardment in this region.
The British admiralty states that q
German seaplane and an aeroplane,
flying at a great height, were pur-
sued by British airmen at Harwich
and forced to drop the bombs harm
lessly into the sea.

GERMANY HAS new
INTERNATIONAL Law

Washington, July T. Germany
hopes to frame a new rule of inter-
national warfare in her reply to the
United States.
She hopes to provide for neutrals'
safety af1oat without surrendering the
advantage which her submarines af-
ford her. This, in the opinion of
many high officials here, is the rea-
son for the delay in the notes COM
pletion.
Some officials said they would not
be surprised if another two weeks
passed before the message is handed
to Ambassador Gerard. 1t is known
that Germany has informally accept
ed the American demand for safety to
Americans to travel on any ships
which do not violate the regulations
governing merchant vessels in time of
war.
She has rejected, however, the sug-
gestion that "in the interest of hu-
manity" she refrain from torpedoing
merchantmen of every class.

Into the Communication Now Under

Washington, July 7.-No doubt re.
mains in officials minds that the Ger.
man note will be satisfactory.
There is every indication that it
will meet American views in detail, as
well as in it's main essentials.
The reason officialdom is so certain
is that the whole matter, it is known,
is being gone over in advance between
the German foreign Office and Presi.
dent Wilson.
Point by point the German diplo.
mats are letting Ambassador Gerard
know what they propose to write into
the communication. The ambassador
advises Secretary Lansing, who ad.
vises the president. If the president
approves so much more of the note
is disposed of. If not, there is an ex.
change of ideas until an agreement is
reached.
Theoretically the German-Ameri.
can discussion consists of an ex.
change of formal published communi.
cations. Practically a point has been
reached where the formal notes sim.
ply constitute the record of what
might be called previous oral agree.
ment, though of course the communi.
cation is not actually by word OF
mouth, but by telegraph and cable.
The progress of this informal pre-
Nminary negotiation is the cause Of
delay in the German notes transmits.
