CAPERT0N TRIES COMMISSION PLAN
 FOR. HAITI PEACE
Notifies Chieftains the Way to Bring About Peace Is to
 Disband Armies.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Admiral Cap
 erton, who is controlling the republic
 of Haiti with United States marines,
 began today to evolve order out of
 chaos by endeavoring to get the war
 ring factions together.
 Secretary of the Navy Daniels an-
 nounced that Admiral Caperton had appointed commission for that pur- pose. The commission is composed of prominent Haitien politicians. This commission will proceed to
 Cape liaitien, which is storm cen ter. next in importance to Port au Prince. There are about 200 marines at Cape Haitien from the Eagle and the Nashville.
 The commission has been instruct ed to impress upon all factions that
 the best way to bring about peace Is for the generals to disband their followers and allow the soldiers to return to their homes.
 In his dispatches today Admiral Caperton says that on Saturday night
 mob attacked the Wesleyan mission in Port au Prince. The mob was looking for a man who, it is claimed,
 had secreted himself in the mission. Admiral Caperton reports that Port all Prince is being cnOtrolled with out any difficulty" but, he says, many citizens are retaining their arms, not xithstanding his demand that they be given up.

THOUSANDS 0F THE
 CURIOUS FIGHT TO
 SEE BECKER BURIED
Widow Displays Little Emo tion as Body Is Lowered
 Into Grave.

New York, Aug. 2.-Charles Becker. electrccuted at Sing Sing last Friday for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, was buried today at Wooilawn ceme- tery, while 10000 persons, mostly women, fought desperately to obtain a closer view of the coffin.
 At the church of St. Nicholas of Tolentine, where the funeral ser vices were held, another crowd surged forward frantically around the front of the edifice, defying mounted police and patrolmen to hold them in check, and at the residence the same scene was enacted in even more intensified form.
 At Woodlawn cemetery the throng had something to divert it's morbid mind from the Becker coffin, when Fred Deering, superintendent of the burial ground, refused to allow two huge floral pieces, accompanying the cortege, to be brought into the place until certain objectionable inscrip- tions they contained were removed.
 Mrs. Becker stood resolutely at the head of the grave while the body was UclLS IOWC1 u, dAu CACOPC lOI d ACW convulsive sobs, barely noticeable to the crowd, showed little emotion.
 Becker carried to the grave with him the picture of his wife which he wore pinned to his shirt when he entered the death chair.
 Mrs. Becker had been quoted as saying she would give out state ment following the burial of her husband. She refused herself to all callers after she returned home from the cemetery. and through woman n friend who answered the door bell said she would have nothing to say at this time.
 The plate on the coffin, accusing Governor Whiteman of Becker's mur- dere-, was removed yestf rday by the police, who told Mrs. Becker that it constituted libel of the governor

TEUTON STRATEGY
 IN EAST ASTOUNDS
Developments Show Plan, Attended witt, SG.na SrccaSs, Is to Eliminate from FiGl.t.Ig Entire Field
 Forces of the Czar.

London, August 2,-The Germans are renewing their efforts to encirclc Ver1un, and, in fresh attacks, dur.ng which h ey fresh attacks, during which they flooded the French trenches with burning lionids, they hay, gained some ground.
 Despite reports frc- Russia that the Germans arc st II further week. ening their front in the west in order to throw all the iron poeeible 'nto the effort to bag tho Russian HrIay. developments today indicate that tho Teutons are on tho verge of serious fresh activity in the west
 The principal fighting at present is taking place on the eastern end of the western front. Two main cnora- tions arc in progress, ono e~ offcn- siyc by tho Germans around Verdun, and the other a French drive O. C9i- mar. the German base m Alsaec. Both of these offcnsives have made gains.
 The Germans struck the first blow of their new drive on Verdup shortly before dawn this morning, storr.rr French trench in the vicin 'ty Of hill No. 231. The French were forced to give ground. but the reserves rushed into the fray and, according to the official communique rece've l here tonight from Paris, succeeded in regaining much Of the lost ground. rrHuring the day the Germans launched assaults of great violence, attacking the French trenches in the
 region of Marie Theresa, with blazing liquids, bombs, hand grenades and the bayonet. and succeeded in getting footing in the French line. The French report that they have regain cd some of the ground lost, and that heavy fighting is still going on. Ber- lin states some French prisoners, in- cluding a few officers, have been cap tured in these operations.
 For more than 24 hours violent fighting has been going on in the Vosges, where the French are on the offensive. They claim to have taken possession of several German posi- tions adjoining their positions on the heights of Liege and at Schratsman- elle and Barrenkopf Berlin admits no loss of ground in this region, but states that the fighting has been very bitter.

ENGLAND JUSTITIES
 SEIZURE OF CARGOES
Eiicct of Four New Documents upon State Department Expected by Dip !oInats to Force Early Answer
 from Germany on Lusitania.

Wishing en, Aug. 2.-Thc state dcpartm mt now has before it four important new International docu- monis, all of which require answer by this gov rnmcnt. They arc: A supplemental noe from Great Britain in which s1e discusses m@ ny Of the cases now before the British priza court, and justifies the izure and detention of tho cargocs.
 A special no,? from Great Britain on the seizure of the cargo of the American ship Neches, while en route from Rotterdam to an Amer ican port.
 Ge.nnnys answer to the United g ates in the case of tho Wm. P. Frye. the American vessel sunk by @ Cerm9n cruiser, which act the United States caaracterizcd as tha violation of treaty.
 A noic from Germany through Am l bassador Gerard in which he suggests | to Americaa shippers that their vcs- sels display very prominently the mercan flag. that they may be rec ognized at a distance by ccrrmandcrs of German submarines.
 | These communications were re- ceivcd today and arc in addition to the original British note received a week ago, the publication of which was delayed at ahe request of Sir Ed ward Grey. rr-,
 The effect of thrusting upon the state department at one time such q mass of controversial arguments by Great Britain will be to delay for long time answers by this govern ment. This 'Tuch was admitted by state department officials today
 Officials admit privately that another very important effect will be 10 force Germany to answer prema- turely the last note of President Wilson on the Lusitania case. Ger many will delay answering on the Lusitania case as long as possible, because it is her desire, as expressed 1 by diplomats here that Great Britain should be heard from and answered by the United States be- fore she should be obliged to reply.
 All the notes from Germany on tle Frye case will be made public by the smte department Wedne sday.
 The most important of the docu- ments, officials say, is the special note on the Neches.

CLOSING IN ON WARSAW.
IvangOrOd. Reported Invested. Holding
 Out, Though Surrounded.

London, Aug. 2-The Germans are rapidly closing in upon Warsaw, and further successes have attended their efforts to trap the Russian armies re- treating on Brest-Litovsk.
 While Mitau has been occupied in the north, von Mackenzen's advance in the south constitutes distinct menace to the Russian center, which is retreating. as rapidly as insufficient railroads facilities will permit, upon the second line.
 Official advices tonight indicate that the majority of the Russians around Warsaw are in grave peril of being cut off. Tho main Russian forces ara fully so miles from Brest-Litovsk. while von Maokenzen, in his present position, is cn!y 70 miles away and is pressing forward rapidly. The Russians are making desperate eff forts between the Vistula and the re- gions southwest of Leraszena, to hold back the Austro-German armies until their comrades in the north can make good their escape, but the Ger mans are employing their full pre- ponderance of artillery and are ad- vancing by forced marches.
 TeutOn Strategy sstounds.
 The gravest menace to the Russians has developed not so much in this theatre. howeve,.. as further to tho southeast where the Austro-Hungarian armies which crossed the Bug are advancing rapidly rpon Zladimar-zc. lyski, south and slightly east of Brest-Litovsk. As the strategy Of von Hindenberg and von Falkenhavn ur- folds itself, it's daring and scopa be- come the more astound ng. The Ger man, it is believed, are striking now not only to make Warsaw untanablo. but to coop in the Russ'ons In tha wide stretch of territorv between the Vistula and their second line of fortl- sications, where, without supplies. they will be helpless, while the Aus- trian and German armies fold In up- on them from all sides.
 ' The two principal fortresses of tho second line are Kovno and Brest-Li- tovsk. According to Berlin adv-ces.
