WILSON TURNS CHEEK
Follows Bryan S Precept-
But It's 10 Baby Grandchild.


Washington, June IA President
Wilson turned the other cheek for
slap to-day in fashion that would
have pleased even ex-Secretary Of State
Bryan, had the slapper been a foreign
country Miss Ellen Wilson McAdoo,
not quite twcnty-one days old, was pay
ing her first visit TO the executive man
sion, and apparently the President rel
ished the slap from the tiny fingers.
The baby was brought to the White
House by her mother. Mrs. McAdoo,
the Presidents daughter, just before
the President made his Flag Day speech
az the Treasury Department. As the
President wished TO have an important
conference with Miss Ellen, she re
mained over until his return from the
Treasury, az his special request.

plause that has ever greeted Woodrow
Wilson in Washington He looked
we'll. The recent weeks of strain
showed in a slightly drawn look about
the eyes, but his voice was full and
clear. His eyes glistened and his skin
showed the strong red-brown Of
health.
His speech was punctuated with en-
thusiastic applause growing in spirit
and intensity as the crowd warmed up
to the fact that they were listening
to the sort of American doctrine they
had longed to hear The President
said:
Flag Not Mere Sentiment.
"For me-" said the President, "the
flag does not express q mere body of
vague sentiments. Il is the embodi-
ment, not of a sentiment, but Of his
tory, and no man can rightly serve
under that flag who has not caught
some of the meaning Of that history.
"You do not create the meaning of

deavors of a great people to do the

LAW that CURES
May KILL HIM
Murderer of Wife and
Daughter to Face Trial
for Life if He Receivers.

Vito Gerard will start for Clinton
prison to-day The law sends him to
the gloomy prison on the edge Of the
big woods 10 cure him of tuberculosis.
If he is cured the law will bring
Gerard back TO the Tombs and put
him on trial for his life.
It's all incomprehensible to Gerard
In his humid cell in the Tombs last
nigh; he tossed on his cot and tried to
straighten IT out. He had gone before
q black-robed judge-Judge Wadhams,
il was and had said he was guilty of
killing Anna Gerard, his daughter. He
was sorry, he said, but he had killed
her He had been promised that the
Jaw would not kill him for that; it
would send him to prison for not less
than twenty years, but the prison
would be in the mountains and would
be good for his cough.
II was q strange thing to do to a
man who admitted he had killed his
own daughter But even stranger was
what they next told him. If the noun
tain prison cured him of his cough he
ould be brought back TO this sweating
cell and the law would try to take his
life for her death.
Last year Gerard was arrested for
carrying g revolver. In the time he
spent in the Tombs awaiting trial and
the forty days sentence imposed by
the court he contracted tuberculosis.
One Of the organized charities found
Gerardi's name in its card index. After
investigation funds were provided to
send him to tn. mountains.
Gerard accepted the money CRATE
fully, 4 wonderingly. In a single glo-
rious night he lost it gambling.
Still this land Of gold insisted he
hould 20 10 the mountains, and prom
lsed SO a week, payable TO Mrs.
Gerard. She succeeded in getting him
to a sanatorium. February Gerard
drifted back to New York. In the weeks
lie had been away it had been borne in
upon him that such a waste Of money
was sinful He went home.
His wife's more adaptable mind had
grasped a bit of the new lands riddle.
II her husband remained in New York
he would die. She knew he could never
be convinced of this, so when he re
turned she simply told MN sne would
ret live with him unless he did as the
hind gentlemen said and made proper
use Of their money.
Gerard was prepared for protest, but
This blatant revolt staggered him. His
wife defying his wishes! He pulled
r.volver from his pocket and pulled
The trigger as fast as his finger would
work.
His daughter Anna flung herself be
tween him and her mother. The first
bullet reached her heart. Two more
killed Mrs. Gerard.

RETREAT FROM THE BALTIC
French Offensive IN West Nerves the
Russians to Begin counter-Attaek
on Germans.

London. ~ Russian re-enforcements
have arrived IN the Baltic provinces
and in Galioia, and It has become their
turn 70 attack.
According to the German official re-
port received June 10 part Of the Ger
man force on the Dubysa river. In the
Baltic provinces, threatened by an en-
circling movement, were obliged TO
withdraw, although in the region Of
Shawl and on the Niemen they claim
to be making progress. despite a stub
born Russian resistance.
More important, in the belief Of mi
itary observers here, however, is the
apparent change that is taking place
in the Galician battle. Here again, ac-
cording to the German account, the
Russians are advancing to the south
and southeast Of Lemberg, and also
are attacking Gen. Linsingen's force
which crossed the Dniester near zu-
rawna.
In Eastern Galicia and Bukowina,
however, the Russians are falling back
between the Pruth and Dniester riy-
ers, with the intention Il is believed
here. Of making the Dniester their
line Of defense from the Roumanian
frontier to the southeast Of Przemysl.
They have very strong positions along
this line and military experts say that
If they can drive back the Germans
who crossed the river near Zurawna,
Lemberg will remain in their hands
and they will be in a position to de-
liver a vigorous offensive, at any rate,
as soon as the Austrians and Germans
begin to withdraw troops for their
western and southern campaigns.
II is possible that this withdrawal
commenced some days ago, for Dutch
correspondents report the arrival Of
large numbers Of troop trains in Bel
gium and the commencement Of bat
tie south Of Ypres. The official re-
ports, however, mention no such bat
tie.
Along most Of the French front the
French generally are said to be on the
offensive, but as to results the claims
Of Berlin and Paris are contradictory.

CREW MEMBERS ARE GONE
Lieut.. Braur and Several Others from

Have Violated Parole.

Washington. - Department Of Jus
aice officials have settled upon a
means Of proceeding against Lieut..
Brauer and several sailors reported
missing from interned German aux
uiary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich, at
Norfolk. II they can be located in the
United States. Prosecution under the
immigration laws, It was agreed. would
Be the most effective way Of dealing
With the fugitives.
After nearly a month Of search, how
ever, agents Of the department have
failed to locate the missing Germans,
and it is supposed that by this time
they must have succeeded in escaping
from American territory. Officials Of
the state department are prepared to
make representatives to the German
government, If the men return to Ger

Lieut. Brauer and the men who ac-
eompanied him left the Prinz Eitel

port News, and before she had been

U. S. NOTE is MADE PUBLIC
Washington Again Demands Of Ger.
many That American Lives and
Ships Be safeguarded.

Washington.-The United States, in
its latest note to Germany, made pub.
lie June 10, formally asks the impe-
rial government for assurances that
measures hereafter will be adopted to
safeguard American lives and Amer.
ican ships" on the high seas. The al
tentative in case Of refusal is not
stated.
It was this note to which William
Jennings Bryan refused to attach his
signature, resigning instead his port
folio Of state, thereby precipitating a
dramatic cabinet crisis. Robert Lans.
ing, secretary Of state ad interim, has
signed the communication, which went
forth with the approval Of President
Wilson and his entire cabinet.
Friendly terms characterize the doc
ument, which renews representations
made in the American note Of May is.
after the Lusitania was torpedoed and
sunk. The German government, It Is
declared, must have been misinform-
ed" when Il assumed that the Lusitania
carried guns, as official information is
at hand to corroborate the original
contention Of the U. s. government that
the Lusitania was an unarmed passen-
ger ship, which since It did not resist
capture could not be sunk without
transferring passengers and crew to a
place Of safety.
The communication informs Ger
many that it is "on the principle OF
humanity as well as upon the law
founded upon this principle that the
United States must stand" Oppor-
tunity is given to Germany to submit
any evidence that American officials
did not execute their tasks thoroughly
in inspecting the Lusitania before she
sailed, but the cardinal fact-that the
liner was given no warning and made
no resistance, and was primarily
passenger ship-the American govern
ment declares, throws into the back
ground any special circumstances Of
detail" and lifts the case "out Of the
class Of ordinary subjects Of diplo-
matte discussion or Of internationa'
controversy"

CHICAGO Has BIG STRIKE
over 1900 Employees Of Surface and
Elevated Lines Walk Out for
Higher Wages.

Chicago.-A strike Of the IA, 500 EN-,
ployes Of the surface and elevated
traction systems was ordered at mid
night June 1S. The men IN accord.
ance with the strike order finished
their runs and returned their cars to
the barns.
The strike on June 1S was called
after an all-day conference Of trans
portation officials, labor leaders and
Mayor Thompson had shown the two
interests at odds on the question Of
increased wages, which the men in
sisted must be guaranteed before ar
bitration could be considered.
The police began Immediately ar
rangements for protecting workmen
who we're ready to take cars. All pO-
lice furloughs we're recalled. and all
available men held at police stations
ready for emergency duty. A detail
Of 500 policemen was dispatched to
guard the car barns.
Officials Of the steam roads an
nounced they would begin an immedi-
ate suburban service.
Records Of the transportation com
panies show an average Of 100000
persons depending on the lines for dai-
ly transportation The surface lines
operate S.125 cars daily, and the ele-
waited lines 1873.
There are 1905 miles Of surface
track and 215 miles Of elevated line.
For two hours preceding midnight.
when the strike became effective.
many passengers who hailed the ap-
preaching cars said they met with lit
tie success. Motormen apparently re-
fused to heed signals in order to get
to the barns at midnight.
At midnight policemen took up their
positions at the car barns. elevated
stations, power plants and other prop
critics.
Fifteen hundred girls employed as
operators at the four downtown ex-
changes Of the telephone companies
are quartered at hotels in order to
be near their work and will stay at the
hotels until the strike is ended.

REPORTS SAY GERMANY WILL 90
ANSWER THE SECOND
U. s. NOTE.
IS A RESERVE ARGUMENT
Diplomats Believe That Berlin VIII
Contend That Act Was Justified
In Combating Eneland's aor-
der IN Council"

Washington-Germany, in her forth.
coming reply to the last United States
note to her on submarine warfare,
viii propose a discussion by this gov
ernment of the principle and doctrine
Of reprisal OF retaliation as a justifi-
cation or palliation Of her past acts
Of submarine warfare which have af-
fected the lives Of American citizens.
Germany will expect a free, full and
clear discussion Of this theme in con
nection with the starvation reprisal
Of Great Britain. Germany viii main
tain that It is impossible to discuss
the universally admitted doctrine Of
reprisals without discussing it equally
with Germany and Great Britain This
proposal, it is understood, Is the argu-
ment which Germany held in reserve
when she sent her last note to the
United States In that note she said
that she had other considerations to
present in reference to. the Lusitania.
The information that the other con.
siderations are those given comes
from diplomats who are in a position
TO know with a reasonable degree Of
certainty the attitude Of Germany aft
er the publication Of the Lansing note.
These officials say that Germany
viii not 60 to the extent of asserting
that the law Of retaliation, even in its
widest and most flexible interpreta.
ton, could be applied to any tragedies
in the future in which there shall be
q loss Of American life by the illegal
use Of submarines without visit and
search and assurances for the safety
Of non-combatant Americans.
II is pointed out that It has become
q question Of elimination and re-crim-
inatiOn between Great Britain and
Germany as to which OF them Hrst ap-
pealed to the law OF reprisal. Great
Britain asserts that Germany com
mandeered everything that could get
into Germany in the way Of food sup
plies so as to absolutely assure the
necessary supply for the German
army. and that therefore the order in
council was an act OF retaliation.
Germany holds that the test OF the
submarine war zone was an act Of
retaliation against previous acts Of
Great Britain in holding up American
ships and others which had eargoes
Of foodstuffs for neutral nations and
for Germany herself

GERMAN ADVANCE STOPS
Petrosrad ls eratlfled at Success Of
Russians in Capturing 5000 Teu.
tons Who Crossed River.

London.-The Russian success has
caused qualification and relief and mil
itary experts expects there will be a
repetition in Galicia Of what occurred
before Warsaw last winter when the
Germans suffered enormous losses in
their efforts to break the Russian
front. AS on that occasion Russian re-
endorsements arrived In time to force
back a portion Of Gen. Linsingen's
army. which had crossed the Dneister
river near zurawna before It could be
strengthened and entrenehed.
The German and Austrian official
reports do not mention the fighting in
this region, but from an account is
sued in Petrograd the Austro-Germans
must have suffered heavy reverses, as
they are said to have lost II guns and
1000 prisoners. In fact, military men
express the belief that very few Of
those who crossed the river could have
escaped.
The Russians also claim that far
ther up the Dneister, directly south OF
Lemberg, they have pressed their op-
ponents back and have taken another
1000 prisoners, while near Mosciska,
east of Przemysl, they say the Ger
mans suffered severely when they at.
tackled the Russian position In East
ern Galicia and in Bukowina the Rus
SLAMS continue to fall back to the
Dneister under the Austrian pressure.
Following the example Of the Ital.
ians, who occupied Avien, the Serv.
ians are marching across Northern
Albania toward the port OF Durazzo,
while the Montenegrins are making
for the port Of Alessio still farther
north. For some time Albania has
been overrrun by bands which, It is
alleged, were organized by Austrians
and Turks to harass Seryia, and in
fact these bands more than once have
invaded Servian territory. The opin-
ion is generally expressed here that
these occupations probably will spell
the end OF Albanian integrity.
Heavy fighting continues along the
Italian frontier, particularly on the
River Isonzo, where the Austrians are
making their most determined effort
to stem the Italian advance.

SUBMARINES TAKE TOLL
Activities off England's Coast In One
Day Destroyed Thirteen Ships
Of All Kinds.

London.-German submarines con
tinue their activity. On June 10 they
accounted for two British torpedo
boats, while the loss of 10 fishing YES
sells and one steamer, the Erna Boldt,
is credited to the underwater boats.
Forty-one members Of the crews Of the
torpedo boats we're rescued. AS these
vessels always carry crews Of S5 men.
It is believed that the loss Of life in
their sinking will approximate SO
The two British torpedo boats we're
torpedoed off the east coast OF Eng
land. They are the No. 10 and the No.
12. Both OF them went to the bottom.
The survivors, Al in number, have
been brought ashore. The attack took
place at very early hour. This infor-
nation was given out by the admir-
atty.
The British torpedo boats Nos. 10
and ~ each had a complement Of IS
men. No. 10 had a displacement Of
244 tons, a speed OF 26 knots and was
166 feet long. No. 12 had a displace-
ment OF 253 tons. a speed Of 26 knots
and was 172 feet long. Both we're built
in 1906.
