ACCUSES ENVOY OF SPYING
New York Paper Makes Charges
Against DR.. Meyer-Gerhard.

New York, June 1.-THE charge
that DR. Meyer-Gerhard, granted a
safe conduct to Germany because it
was believed he was special envoy
whose mission was to tell the kaiser
the exact state of public opinion in
the United States, is in reality Alfred
Meyer, private councillor of the Ger
man government and chief of the Ger
man army's supply division, was
made in a special story published by
the New York Tribune.
The Tribune asserts that while pos
ing as MeyerGerhard and a Red
Cross agent DIR. Meyer was in reality
attempting to purchase war supplies.
II declared that Meyer is now taking
back to Germany valuable informa-
ton regarding the United States mill
tary preparedness and charged by in
ference that German Ambassador Won
Bernstorff and other German diplo-
matte attaches in the United States
were parties to the deception by which
the German agent wore a toupe and
glasses while masquerading as Red
Cross worker.

COST OF LIVING is
HIGHER THAN EVER

Washington, June 1.-THE cost of
living is higher than ever in the Unit
ed States. so far as government sta
tisties show, and is increasing each
year In 1914 the years cost of fill
ing the market basket of the average
American workingman's family was
$6.6s, or 2 per cent, higher than it
was in 1913 and $50 43, or 24.5 per
cent, higher than it was in 1907, cal
culating on relative price figures an
nounced by the federal bureau Of la
Dor statistics as a result of its most
recent investigation of retail prices.
These figures represent prices of
fifteen articles, aggregating approx
mately two-thirds OF the expenditure
for food by the average workingman' S
family. The cost of these articles in
1913 was s333.90. making the 1914
cost S34O.5S. while in 1907 1T was
s2s015.
Calculating these amounts as two.
thirds of the workingman's family
food expenditure, the total spent for
food in these years would be: In 1913
$500s5; 1914, s510.S7, and in 1907
$410.20. The bureaus investigation
covered prices in forty-four important
industrial cities, representing thirty
three states.

GERMANY TO DELAY
REPLY TO AMERICA

Washington, June 17.-Germany and
the United States are to be given a
cooling off, period over the Lusi-
tania disaster
This is the construction placed
upon reports from Berlin that consid-
erable time probably will elapse be-
fore Germanys second reply in the
submarine warfare negotiations will
be forwarded.
II is learned that the ten days or
two weeks originally expected by the
administration before the German
reply's arrival will likely stretch into
three weeks or longer.
An indication that the president
does not expect a quick response
from Germany is his plan to leave
here for vacation at Cornish, N. H.,
by the middle of next week to remain
over July 4.
Germany's delay, it is believed, is
based on reports from the United
States that public Indignation over
the sinking of the Lusitania has
passed the danger point and that
the American people are confident oi
q peaceful outcome and satisfied with
the diplomatic course taken.

FOREIGN EXCHANGES DROP
English and French Rates Lowest in
Fifty Years.
@ by Momt

New York, June 1.-THE impor-
tance of the United States as the pres
ent center of the world of finance was
shown when the French and English
rates of exchange showed greater
weakness than at any time since New
York seriously entered the interna-
tional banking.
Demand sterling descended to
4.76ss and checks on Paris were sold
at 5.45%, placing the buying power
of the English pound and the French
franc in this country at the lowest
levels In more than fifty years.
This is considered proof of the
enormous credits held by American
bankers and manufacturers, presum-
ably as a result of the large war or
ders now under contract.

RUSSIAN FORCES
STILL RETIRING
Withdraw From CzernOwitz
Across Border.
ONLY ARTILLERY ACTIVE
Recent Fighting on Western Front
Declared to Be ndecisive-Berlin
North of Arras.

North of Arras.
London, June lin the eastern
arena of the fighting the Russian
forces still are slowly and stubborn
ly retiring. The latest official report
from Petrograd admits the withdraw
al of Russian troops across the Cali
clan frontier into Russian territory
from Czernowitz, at point between
the Dniester and the Pruth. The
same report sets forth that fresh Ger
man forces, brought up near Jaro-
slau under cover of heavy artillery
fire, compelled the Russians to re-
tire for some distance on the right
bank of the River San after three
days of desperate fighting.
On the remainder of the eastern
front the Russians apparently are
contenting themselves with repelling
the attacks of the enemy, excepting
on the left banks of the Tismenitza
and Stry rivers, tributaries of the
Dniester, where they report having
taken numerous prisoners and ma
chine guns and to have recaptured
villages wrested from them by the
Austrians.
Little news comes to London from
the Dardanelles, with the exception
of the official intimation that the
Turkish forces are showing a sensi
BILE weakening.
On the western front the fighting
during the last twenty-four hours has
been indecisive. According to Paris
the most important activity has been
confined to the artillery, but a wire
less dispatch from Berlin relates the
complete failure of a violent French
infantry attack to the north of Arras

ALL ENCROACH
UPON NEUTRALS
Bryan Says Nations at War
Are Violating Law.
RULES MUST BE CHANGED

Believes international Conference to
Remedy Existing Mistakes VIII Fol-
low Close of Hostilities-Task Of
Nediating Destined to Come to
President of United States.
Washington, June 17-Former Sec.
retary Bryan. in the first section of
his statement on the causeless war, =
prophesied that the greatest peace
making opportunity in all history is
certain to come 10 the United States
and declared there will be demand
for an international conference, with
the return of peace, to change the
rules Of international law, which
seem TO have been made for the ma.
tions at war, rather than for the ma
tions at peace"
Under the stress and strain of the
titanic struggle in which they are en-
gagged" Mr. Bryan's statement says,
leach side has felt itself justified in
enc~oaching upon the rights of neu-
trails. The ocean highways, the com
mon property OF all, have been ap-
prOpriatcd to some extent for war
purposes and delicate diplomatic ques,
tons ar forced upon the neutral ma
ti0ns.
Just at this time, when these ques-
tions are most acute, the belligerent
governments are least able to deal
with then with the calmness and
poise whicl their great Importance
demands No wonder every neutral
nation is increasingly anxious for the
war to end; but of all the neutral ma
tions ours has the most reason to
pray for the return of peace-most
reason to set it's face resolutely
against participation in this war. This
nation, the head of the neutral group
and the sincere friend of all the bel
ligerents, is in duty bound to set an
example in patience and self-restraint
Never Such an Opportunity.
In all history no such opportunity
las ever come to any other nation as
that which is destined to come to tht
United States. In all history no othel
Geacemaker has ever been in position
to claim as rich a blessing as thai
which will be pronounced upon oui
president when the time for media
ton comes-as come it must"
..s., Il fr fntC M M y
Bryan graphically describes the hor
rors and Affections of the war ant
says:
Neutral nations cannot look OF
with indifference-the ties that bint
them together are too strong, the re
lationship too intimate. This is es
pecially true of the United States
We have a composite population
every nation of Europe having con
tributed literally to our citizenship.
These, our countrymen, themselve
born abroad or Immediately descend
ed from foreign born ancestors, can
not but take a lively interest in tn,
conduct as we'll as in the results o
the war, and a still larger circl
shares the concern of those directl
connected. Not a soldier falls o.
either side but the sorrow expresses
in his home finds an echo at som
fireside in the United States"
Aside from sentimental considers
tions. Mr.. Bryan asserts, neutral ns
tions suffer serious disturbances bt
cause of the war.
