RUSSIANS UNABLE . ID CHECK TEUT0NS IN GA[|C|AN DRIVE
Decisive Battle Will Take Place at GrOdek-RuSsian Retreat of Strategic
 Importance

Another 24 hours of fighting in GaIicia has developed nothing to stem the Austro- German advance toward Lemberg. and tonight Berlin claims the Russians are retreating over their own frontier toward Tnrnogrod, four miles from the Gallcfan border.
 This means an invasion of Russian territory at a new point. but, accord ing to military observers here. it may spell ultimate advantage for the Rus sians in that a general Russian retire. ment northward into Poland would divert General Linsingen's attempt to crush the Russian. center near Eur awna. which would sever the communi- cations of the Russian army in south eastern Galicia and Bukowina The military writers here say the real dan ger zone from the Russian standpoint Is in the Zurawna district and along the Dniester
 According to Berlin, the Austro-Ger. man forces have battered through | Niemerow, 30 miles northwest of Lem berg, and are advancing toward Jaw orow, which is only 25 miles west of the Ga1ician capital. Three great
 masses of Austro- o-Germans thus arc sweeping from the San toward the cap ital, and the prediction Is made that I the decisive battle. if one is fought
 will take place in the vicinity oi Grodek, where military observers be lieve the Russians should benefit b, l the lake country.
 British newspapers, though not min l imizing the Importance of the Austro German successes in Galicia, acclaim what Is styled the Grand Duke Mich ! olas' elusive strategy in shifting hi' l front from north and south to north west and southeast. This maneuver. i Is asserted, has defiected the Austro German blow to some extent and a the same time denied to them 1ui | test of strength

world to those who spend their time in getting ready for wars that should never come. Half the energy employed in pre- paring for war would effectuallv prevent war if used in propagating the principles which make for peace. Instead of pre- venting war. preparedness provokes war because it is impossible to tcoerce the peo- pie into bearing the burdens incident to cont nuous and increasing preparation without cultivating hatred, as if 1t were natural virtue. There must be some one to fear; some other preparing nation that must be represented as plotting for war.
 How can preparedness prevent war if all prepare? Each step taken by one na- ton toward more complete preparedness exctes the other nations to additional purchases and new levies until all have exhausted their productive industries and menaced their moral progress,
 ''The doctrine that preparedness will prevent war will not stand the test of perience"

ENGLAND ID REPLY ID AMERICAN NOTE
 AGAINST IN COUNCIL
United States Has Never
 Admitted Right of Allies to Detain Cargoes Con- Signed to Neutral Ports

Washington. June 17.-It was stated | officially today that there has been in timations from Great Britain recently to the American note of March 3e pro- that n reply might he forthcoming soon testing against the iliegality of the order in council In it's restrictions on noncoutra band commerce with Ger many through neutral countries.
 Officials have been preparing an sn- swer to the British notes which pre- eeded the issuance of the order in eoun- ell and covering the academic principles as they were affected by the law of con traband and continuous voyage. The United States has never admitted the right of the allies to detain eargoes of eontraband consigned to neutral ports when enemy destination is not proved and several cases still are pending in which that principle is involved.
 Combine All Phases
 The close relation of the order in council, prohibiting noneontrabaNd commerce with Germany, to be traffic in contraband articles with neutral countries has caused officials to conn bine all phases of these questions in a single note which is expected to be sent as soon as all data Is obtained and when the situation with Germany is clarified. The possibility that Germany may suggest q modus vivendi whereby submarine warfare would be abandoned | If the allies order in council were re- i. voked and the usual laws of contra band put into effect is one of the consid- erations which has delayed the ais patch of the American note to Great Britain until the German reply to the last communication from the United States is at hand.
 May Modify Note
 Should a new note from Great Britain arrive in the meantime, the communica a. tion now under preparation to be sent to the allies would necessarily be modi- fled accordingly and officials today were unable to predict just when some de- velopment in the situation might be ex- pected .- Since the expiration of the period allowed by the Hfltish governsnent foi the free passage through the allis s Blockade lines of German and Austrian goods purchased by American importer before March 1. last the state depart ment has undertaken to make some ar rangement with the importing interests in New York which will facilitate this com ,.a. Q zee
 Under the order in council which noa applles all such goods must go before a British prize court. It has been sug gested, however, that an arrangement
 of cargoes in American ships. witi goods coming from Germany easily ac
 cessibie, would reduce delays to min ! mum.
