from general headquarters, but moth

There is no chance whatever of
formal abandonment of the submarine

though submarine commanders may
be impressed with the ACCESSIBILITY of
avoiding complications with the Uni.

steps they can to that end.
Developments in the American ne.

WARSAW, IS REPORT
RUSSIAN RETREAT FROM WHOLE
POLISH SALIENT INDICATED
IN DISPATCHES.
KAISER PLANS STATE ENTRY
Capture Of Capital Would Be Made o.
casion for Great Celebrations in
Germany-Whole Country Will
Be Denuded.

London, July 31.-The probable evac-
uation of Warsaw and the whole Pol
ish salient by the Russians is indicated
in dispatches just received from Petro-
grad. This decision would come as a
surprise to all outside the inner coun-
ellis Of the Russian general staff, as
the splendid resistance which the Rus
slams have been offering apparently
with considerable success, to the Ger
man efforts to encircle the city, were
believed to be evidence of Grand Duke
Nicholas intention to fight it out with
Germany.
Army We'll Equipped.
1t is pointed out, however, by the
Russian military critics, after CONVEX
sations with competent military au-
thorities," that until the army is prop
erly equipped to oppose the perfect
Austro-German machine, the sensible
thing to do would be to avoid battle
and withdraw until the armies are or
sanized and equipped and in condi-
ton to take an aggressive offensive
and drive the enemy from Russian
soil.
Politics, rather than strategy, de-
cided the Russians to advance into
East Prussia and Galicia, it is explain
ed by the critics and while in doing so
they rendered great service to the
Western Allies and inflicted terrible
losses on both Austrians and Ger
mans, they may now give up all and
more than they gained.
Country to Be Denuded.
1t is anticipated by the Petrograd
papers that the whole country, if
evacuated, will be denuded of re.
sources which might prove valuable
to the Germans, as has been done in
most of the territory heretofore given
up.
The capture of Warsaw naturally
would be made the occasion for great
celebrations in Germany and it is re.

STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
BEGIN PREPARATION OF NOTE
ON LEELANAW CASE.
u. S. CONSUL MAKES REPORT
SAYS Vessels Crew Is Safe-Captain
Endeavor to Escape But Hove to
When Fired On-Ship's Pa
pers Retained.

Washington, July 30.-With the re-
ceipt of practically complete report
of the torpedoing of the American
steamer Leelanaw by a German sub
marine, state department officials be-
gan the preparation of note to Ger
many requesting payment of damages
on the ground that the Prussian-Amer-
lean treaty Of 1923 had been violated.
A report from American Consul Den
nison at Dundee, Scotland, brought to
light the fact that the captain of the
Leelanaw attempted to escape, but
submitted to visit and search after
warning shots were fired. The right
to escape, officials declared, is conced-
cd by international law, only repeated
attempts to evade capture or forcible
resistance being regarded as affecting
the case.
Material for Claim.
Unofficial reports that the German
submarine commander was unwilling
to jettison the cargo of the Leelanaw
and to allow her to proceed, as the
treaty of 1928 provides, cleared up
doubts here on this point. The mate
rial necessity for the presentation of
claim similar to that made in the
case Of the William p Frye was, there
fore, considered practical.
London, July 27.-The American
owned steamer Leelenaw, flying the
American flag and carrying a crew
composed principally of Americans was
torpedoed eff the Orkney islands, &C.
cording to dispatches just received
from Kirkwall. The crew was saved
in the ships own boats.
Before sinking the vessel the Ger
man commander exercised the visit
and search required by the interna-
tional rules Of warfare, Kirkwall dis
patches stated.
The dispatches said the submarine
commander first assured himself that
the steamer carried contraband of
war and then gave the crew time to
take to their boats.
