PRESIDENT OUTLINES
POLICY TO CABINET
Wilson Discusses Stand of U. S.
With His Official
Family

Washington, D. c., July "0.-Presi-
dent Wilson laid before the cabinet to-
day an outline of the new note to
Germany in response to Berlins last
answer to the American notes on the
sinking of the Lusitania and submar-
inc warfare.
1t was the first cabinet meeting in
month, and the secretaries, return
ing from different sections of the
country. brought to the President
their views of public sentiment. Cen
orally 1t was for taking a firm stand.
No announcement of any kind was
made at the White House, where 1t
was indicated that the character of
the note had not yet been finally de-
termined.
There was no manifestations of ten
sion in official quarters, the confidence
prevailing that in the absence of any
new Violation of American rights the
situation would not become i'm
mediately dangerous. Some officials
were impressed, however, that the at
tack on the British steamer Orduna
endangering a score of Americans had
introduced a new set of circumstances,
showing that even on voyages from
Europe to the United States submarine
warfare as being waged by Germany
subjects neutrals to constant risks. 1t
is not certain, however, that any
reference to the Orduna case will be
made in the new American note.

RUSS FORCES READY
To LEAVE WARSAW
Offensive Movement in East Is
Seriously Threatening
Polish Capital

The great German offensive in the
east is shown in the latest official re-
ports TO be seriously threatening Rus
Sis;n possession of Warsaw. Evacuation
of the Polish capital cannot he far dis
tant, in the opinion of many military
observers, as from both the north and
the south Teutonic pressure is being
exerted with seemingly irresistible
force.
In the center General Won Gallwitz
has driven the Russians back on the
near defenses of the city, the German
report claiming an advance to points
within twenty miles of the stronghold.
To the southeast the Austro- Germans
are pressing on the Lublln- Cholm rail-
road line, capturing Krasnostav and
threatening by a further advance to
compass an enCircling movement Far
ther east, also. the Austrians are adj
vancing to complete the German effort.
Windau, in Courland, has been cap
tmed by the Germans, who are adj
vancing toward Riga, this movement
RUSSIAN lines to the south still more
insecure.
Petograd admits a general retro
grade movement. Even on the old
Bzura-Rawa line, which so long with
stood German attacks, the Russians
are falling back, according to the Ber-
lin report.
On the Austro- Italian front sub
stantial gains are claimed by Rome in
Carnia. while 1t is declared the assault
along the Isonzo is being pursued with
redoubled energy and producing gains.

Hen Thousand Dollars
in Currency Is Sent to
U. S. Conscience Fund
Rr Associated PrctS

Washington, d. c., July 20. - Ten
thousand dollars in currency, the Sec
ond largest contribution to the con
science fund" ever received by the
Government, arrived at the Treasury
Department to-day in a plain envelope,
mailed yesterday at New York, ac-
companied by an unsigned letter say
ing:
THE sender has paid double to the
United States the amount he stole and
still conscience is not satisfied. Here
is another payment"
The package contained three one
thousand dollar gold certificates. eight
five hundred dollar certificates and
thirty one hundred dollar silver and
gold notes.
Treasury officials found nothing in
the letter or the, amount to indicate a
connection with any of the govern
ment's losses by fraud or theft, so they
placed it with the 100000 more
which has accumulated in the Treas
ury vaults from conscience stricken
folk who have sent sums ranging from
one cent to S18,669. The largest sum
ever received, came in 1909, probab ably
from some one who had committed a
customs fraud The $4,000 package
to-day came addressed to Secretary
McAdoo and was marked Personal. "

That the obstructionist attitude of
City Commissioner w. L. Gorgas and

purely political motives was charged
by Commissioner w. H. Lynch, super
intendent of streets and public i'm
provements, to-day in commentlnS
upon Commissioner Gorgas' latest plan
to deliberately hold up the compleuon
OF the river front improvement.
In discussing the methods of Messrs.

That MIR. Gorgas as well as the
Mayor have confined themselves to

complished anything, or attempted to
accomplish anything for the improve

City warrants, according TO MI
Lynch, have even been stamped with a
rubber stamp of the finance superin-

The question developed this after
noon when City Council met to con-
slider Mr.. Gorgas resolution to pay in
full the Opperman arbitrators' award.
In discussing the question to-day Mr..
Lynch said:

All this is entirely political.
Why? Why, both Mayor Royal

Until City Council receives ar
opinion from City Solicitor D. S. Seit7
as to whether or not the city may
proceed with the completion of the
river front wall by continuing the
steps Through the gap at Market street,
no final action will be taken on the
Gorgas resolution authorizing the pay
ment to w. H. Opperman and Com
pany of the arbitrators' award.
The City Commissioners by vote of
8 to decided this to-day following an
exciting session. During the more or
less heated discussion between Com
missioners Taylor, Bowman and Lynch
and Commissioner Gorgas and Mayor
Royal many of the facts which Mr.
Lynch made in his interview before
Council met, were reiterated.
The attitude of Mayor Royal and
Commissioner Gorgas was stated by
Commissioner Taylor who, much to
the annoyance OF Messrs. Royal and
Gorgas, summed up the situation as
follows:
why not complete all the work
and make a finished job of it
since lnSIe ISM SIOuSn III the
public works fund to pay the
Opperman award but there is
enough to finish the improve
ments now pending.
'"rhe whole purpose of this
resolution of Mr.. Gorgas' to my
mind, is simply to delay the work
and prevent the colsing of the
gap at Market street"
Messrs. Lynch and Gorgas had a
lovely half hour when Mr.. Gorgas
just couldn't or wouldn't remember
that he had been present with Mr..
Wolfarth the other bondsman for
Sucker Brothers, the wall contractors,
when the Board of Public Works. the
