AUSTRIA SENDS
PROTEST TO U. S.
ON WAR TRAFFIC
Declares It Violates Neu-
trality-Makes Free
Sea Plea.

London, July Is, 3:45 a. m.-An
Amsterdam dispatch 20 Reuters Tele-
gram Company from Vienna says the
Austro- Hungarian Minister of Foreign
Affairs sent a note to the American
Ambassador at Vienna on June 29 pro-
testing against the shipment Of muni-
tions of war to the Entente Allies.
It is set forth that, although the
Dual Monarchy is convinced that the
American attitude arises from no
other intention than to observe the
strictest neutrality, yet "the question
arises whether conditions as they have
developed during the course OF the war,
certainly independently Of the wish OF
the American government, are not OF
such a kind as in their effect to turn
the intentions of the Washington Cab
met in a contrary direction.
"If this question is answered in the
affirmative, and its affirmation cannot
be doubted" according TO the opinion
cf the Austro- Hungarian government
then the question follows whether II
does not seem possible or even neces'
sary that appropriate measures should
Re taken to make fully respected the
wish of the American government to
remain a strictly impartial vlS-a-Vls OF
both belligerent parties. :,
"A neutral government cannot be al
lowed to trade in contraband unhln
dered if it take the form or dimensions
whereby the neutrality OF the countr!
will be endangered. The export OF wa
material as a proceeding OF the presen
war is not in consonance with the deh
milton of neutrality. The American
government, therefore, is undoubtedly
entitled to prohibit the export OF wa
material.
Regarding the possible objections
that American industry is willing tt
supply Austria Hungary and Germany
which. however, is impossible owing u
the war situation, it may be pointed ou
that the American government IS IN
position to redress this state OF things
! IL would be quite sufficient to advise
the enemies of AustriaHungary anC
/ Germany that the supply of foodstuf'
and war material would be suspended
if legitimate trade in these articles be
tween Americans and neutral countries
was not permitted"
In conclusion the Austro- Hungarian
government appeals to the United
States 70 take the present note under
careful consideration.

Paris Reports Repulse of

BERLIN CLAIMS 3

Arras-Attack in Flan-
derS Fails.

London. July 14.-Anothor German
thrust toward Verdun, down the A.sne
through the forest Of the Argonne, has
Teen stopped and counter attack
has carried the French to .he enemy's
trenches. according to to-nights re-
ports from Paris. The German drive
was an attempt to cut the Verdun-
Paris railway, which runs through St
Menehould, and to relieve The pressure
CT the St Mihiel wedge.
Berlin claims that the efforts Of the
Crown Princes army have met with
complete success; that the German
forces captured French positions ir
the Areonne for width Of nile ant
four-ffths and depth Of thrce-ffths
Of a mile; that Hill No. 235 was taken
and that nearly 5000 prisoners were
captured.
Paris, however, reports hat the at
tack was repulsed. Il admits that The
French line momentarily recoiled, bu'
declares that counter attacks arrested
the progress of the Germans and drove
them back The gains which the Ger
mans won yesterday did not exceed q
quarter of a mile at any point, the
French say, and the new French at
tacks are declared to have reached The
German trenches.
This is the second success claimed
for the Crown Prince in the Argonn,
during the last few weeks, but, as il
the previous case, there is a complete
conflict of testimony between .he tw,
headquarters.
May Stage Offensive There.
Although Paris contends the attacI
was a costly adventure for the Ger
mans, the strength of the offensiv
leads the British press to speculat
whether the Argonne or the Woevr
districts will not be selsted for
general German offensive rather tha
the backgrounds in Flanders.

WORKERS BATTLE
REMINGTON CO.'S
ARWED GUARDS
One Man Sent to Hospital
Insensible After Riot
in Factory Yard.

Bridgeport, Conn. July IA Rioting
has already begun at the great war
pl4Ly of the Remington Union Metallic
Cartridge Company. AS a result of a
battle between employees armed with
brickbats and guards welding heavy
clubs. one laborer is in st. Vncent's
+, Hospital beaten into insensibility and
others. it is said, were hurried away
under cover of the darkness by their
friends to receive treatment at home.
Labor leaders say the fighting to-
night is but a slight indication Of what
will happen unless the Stewart Con-
struction Company, which is erecting
buildings for the Remington company,
will allow the millwrights TO become af-
fliated with the structural ironwork-
ers. The two concerns must come
through" by Friday at midnight or else
the huge plant and its twenty sub
salaries will be shut down with every
wheel idle.
The melee tonight was unexpected.
The Remington company, which, Incl
dentally, says the whole question OF
the labor trouble is entirely up to the
Stewart company, felt to-day that its
workmen we're satisfied, and that
eventually all the difficulties would be
adjusted without violence. But late
this afternoon. as the men were filing
out of the plant, many of them were on
edge and grumbling.
As usual, scores Of the laborers wese
lined up together while guards handed
them their numbered checks, so they
could pass the gates and return in the
morning to work. The men began SHOW
ing. and some of the Burns guards
spoke sharply to them. As nearly as
can be learned, Frank Monte, Portu-
guese laborer. the man who is IN the
hospital, made some remarks about
what the labOrers would do when we
go on strike
Man Beaten lnsensible.
Hot words followed between Monte
and Stephen J. Lewis, guard. The
Portuguese, who, although an eighteen
year-old boy. is broad shouldered and
powerful. tried 10 throw Lewis into an
eight-foot construction ditch. The de-
tective was falling as other guards
grabbed them. Then the miX-up became
general.
A police alarm and an ambulance
call were sent III simultaneously from
the box near the new factory at Boston
and Sea View avenues, and Police Ser
geant Ramsey and Patrolman Gregory
arrived as an ambulance changed up.
Monte was taken to the hospital. He
recovered consciousness after a time,
but little could De learned from him,
especially as he speaks only very
broken English. Lewis and another
guard, Thomas Conley, made charge
Of breach Of the peace against him.
John A. Johnson, first vice-pres Ident
of the structural iron workers, in a
statement to the newspaper men this
afternoon declared he had the power
TO tie the Remington plant in knot.
