WILL RETURN TO
 WASHINGTON NEXT WEEK
President Wilson Then to Take Up
 Germany's Latest Note.

Cornish. N. H.. July s-President Wilson will return to Washington next week to take up with Secretary Lansing and other members of his cabinet the latest note from Germany on submarine warfare, which he was advised today, was handed to Ambas- sador Gerard in Berlin last night. He will not start back to Washington, however, until the note has been de- ciphered and is ready for his consid- eration-
 Although the President may decide to leave here in time to discuss the note formally with his cabinet on Tuesday, the regular meeting day, it was said tonight that he probably would not arrive there until later.
 President Wilson already has been told in general way of the contents of the note, but refused to comment tonight on reports from Washington that officials there considered the preliminary outlines of the communi- cation unsatisfactory. He has spent much time since he has been here studying the situation and the fu- ture attitude of the United States.

 Germany Followed EngIand's Example.
 Germany merely followed England's example when she declared part of the hig seas an area of war Conse- quently, accidents suffered by neutrals on enemy ships ipthis area of war cannot well be judged differently from accidents to which neutrals are at all times exposed at the seat of war on land when they betake themselves in to dangerous localities in spite of pre- vious warnings. If, however, it should require an adequate number of neutral passenger steamers, the Im- perial government is prepared to in terpose no objections to the placing under the American flag by the Ameri- can government of four enemy pas senger steamers for pasengeSr traffic between North America and England Assurances of free and safe passage for American passenger steamers would then extend to apply under the identical pro-condiuons to these form erly hostile passenger steamers.
 Hopes For Understanding.
 The president of the United States has declared his readiness, in a. way deserving of thanks, to communicates and suggest proposals to the gov- ernment of Great Britain with par ticular reference to the alteration of maritime war. The Imperial govern ment will always be glad to make use of the good offices of the president and hopes that his efforts in the present case. as well as in the direction of the lofty ideal of the freedom of the seas, will lead to an understanding.
 "The undersigned requests the am bassador to bring the above to the knowledge of the American govern ment and avails himself of the op- portunity to renew to His Excellencv the assurance of his most distinguish ed consideration

CRISIS IN FRIENDSHIP
 BETWEEN THE NATIONS.
Feeling in Washington Over German Note-chief Principle for Which the United States Contends is Passed Lightly Over.

Washington, July 9-Arrival of the press translation of the German note confirmed impressions which have been current in official quarters for several days that Germany would refuse to give the assurances asked for by the United States in her last note, that the lives of Americans travelling the high seas on unarmed ships of any nation a1ity be not endangered.
 Germany on the use of American pes- senger ships, which are to be given complete immunity from interference only if they do not carry contraband, was regarded in many quarters as add ing another to the many issues which have arisen over submarine warfare. Assumption of liability for the loss of Americans in the Lusitania tragedy was considered to have been wholly evaded by Germany, and the chief principle for which the United States or act' to see observed was viewed as having been lightly passed over.
 The general feeling that the note would be unsatisfactory and bring to a crisis the friendly relations that have existed between the United States and Germany developed, more strongly in official quarters as news of the con- tents of the note spread.
 Many persons conversant with diplo- matic precedents in the framing of notes believed that the next step of necessity would be an advance in the position of the United States for, hav- receive them. the field for further ne- gotjations had been considerably mar rowed and now required some asser- tion of rights

But Men and Still More Men Demanded Un-
 til Enemy is Crushed
KITCHENER APPEALS FOR MORE RECRUITS
London Business Men Pass Vote of Confidence British Field Marshall War Office Now Able to Equip All Men Enlisting-War Loan is Also a Success, Earl Kitcheu- CT Declares-But Gaps in the Ranks Must be Filled

London, July g, 10.10 D. m--F1eld Marshal Earl Kitchener, whose conduct of the war office has been criticized by certain sections of the British press, received a very remarkable ovation from the people today on his visit to the London guildhall to make an ap- peal for recruits and particularly for reserves for the great army which he has raised since the outbreak of the war.
 From the war office to the guildhall, great crowds assembled to welcome the secretary of war. and as he drove through the troop-lined streets cries of welcome and confidence were shouted at him, while a meeting of business men in the guildhall unanimously voted confidence in his administration.
 The great need of the moment, said Earl Kitchener, was men, material and money. Money being raised by loan was a success, he said, and he assured the meeting that the question of mate rial was being dealt with in a highly satisfactory manner by the new minis try of munitions. But there still re- mains the vital necessity of the men he would require, he declared.
 Men, and more men," he said, until the enemy is crushed"
 The country is in a better position that it was when the war broke out and he made his first appeal for re- crufts. Earl Kitchener declared, but he added the position was still serious, and he made an urgent call for men to fill up the gaps which had been made in the ranks of the army.
 While at the commencement of the war the British were short of equip ment, Earl Kitchener made the state ment that now the war office was able to equip all men eniisting.

HUERTA IN JAIL
 FOR FEDERAL JURY.
He Waived Hearing on Charge of Neu-
 trality Violation.

Fl Paso. Tex, July s.-GeneraI vlc- toriano Huerta waived preliminary hearing on charges of conspiracy to violate the United States neutrality laws late today and was held under .0oO bond for the federal grand jury at San Antonio Dec. 20. He declined to furnish bond and was removed to Fort Bliss, where he will be guarded by fed eral marshals.
 Immediately Generals Ygnacio Bravo, Eduardo Caus. Jose Delgado and En- rQue Corostieta and J. B. Rather waived preliminary hearing, but all ex- cepting Bravo furnished bonds to ap- pear at San Antonio.
 General Bravo, who is S2 years old and served SO years in the Mexican army. was released on his personal recognizance. The bonds of the others, which had been fixed at $15,0 ,000 each, were reduced Caus' bond was fixed at $2,500, the others at $5,000 each Their bondsmen are local bankers.
 General Huerta asked permission to speak in his own defense, but was dis suaded by his attorney.

TURN OF THE TrpE.r
British Military Critics See This In
 War News of Friday.

London, July g, 1o:5o D. m-The complete surrender of the German forces in German Southwest Africa to General Botha. commander of the forces of the Union of South Africa: the French success in the vosges, where they made an advance of seven hundred yards on a front of six hum dred yards and captured upwards of eight hundred unwounded Germans.- and the splendid stand being made by the Russians in Southern Poland against the Austro German forces. gives the British military critics sub- 1ect for comment on what they term the turn of the tide" in the war which is now approaching its first an- niversary.
 General Bothas victory. with the Germans cut off from the rest of the world, was a foregone conclusion, but the fact that he won 1t after five months of warfare, despite the re- bellion in his own country, and under many natural disadvantages is con- Sdered by military observers to have been remarkable achievement To gain this victory General Botha,s forces had to march in the b1istering heat through an almost wzterless country in which the few wells had been poisoned and where sandstorms made it necessary for the soldiers to wear goggles.
 With rapid, sweeping strokes Gen. eral Botha worked round the Ger mans who were forced to surrender or suffer annihilation, and this prevented them from breaking up into parties and continuing guerilla warfare. It 1t expected that this territory, which is some 300,00 square miles in ex- tent, will be annexed to the dominion of South Africa. General Botha aI- ready has begun to send the citizen army home and commencement will be made immediately of the organiza- ton of the contingent to assist the mother country in Europe.

against rock Rice ran on and the bandits, realizing that the sound of the shot would act as an alarm, fled into the woods. How much they got from the tourists had not been learned tonight.
 Rice was personal conductor of a party containing about 125 teachers from New York and Brooklyn.
 The leading stage of the party was stopped and the passengers were ordered to throY their money into a sack held by one of the robbers. One man kept the crowd covered at close range, another held the sack, and the third stood about 50 feet from the road to cover the approaches.
 As Rice sprang from the vehicle and started back to tell the rest of his party to conceal their valuables, the robber guarding the road fired. After collecting the loot. the bandits disappeared.

 On Predicted Day.
 There is no doubt in the minds of the offers that Erich Muenter, alias Frank Holt or conferedates were re- sponsible for the outrage which. well timed occurred at 4.15 o'clock on the afternoon of July '. the date upon which the dynamiter predicted that some vessel, the name of which he ap- peared uncertain, would be destroy ed.
 BuIkheads Saved Ammunition.
 Muenters plans were frustrated by the fact that his weapon of destruction was placed with miscellaneous freight forward, and so was separated by stout bulkheadS from an enormous cargo of ammunition which with oth- CT inflammable munitions of war in holds.
 While the sailors fought the fire, Captain Claret headed his ship for Halifax and brought her safely through southwesterly gale and thick fog an anchorage in the lower harbor here at o'clock this after noon. By that time the flames had eaten their way through number three hold and into No. hold. but late this afternoon 1t was announced that they had been extinguished.

 Had Boats Swung Out.
 Thrilling stories were told by the the freighter. The first two days out were uneventful. The Minnehaha left from New York for London at 7.14 o'clock last Sunday evening and left the outside anchorage at 10.30. A half hour after midnight on Wednes- officers were somewhat startled by the receipt of a wireless message warning them that bombs were reported to have been placed in vessels that had sailed from New York for English ports recently. The captain fmmedi- ately ordered the small boats swung out in readiness for lowering in the event an explosion occurred.
 
 Hatch Cover Blown Of.
 At. a quarter after four that same afternoon and when the ship was 57c males southeast of Halifax, something let go in the third compartment and the ship trembied violently. One o1 the hatch. covers shot off carrying two sailors with it ten feet in the air. One was slightly injured. but the other escaped without a scratch To fight the fire a steam pipe was inserted and steam driven into the hold Soon the fire appeared to be under control, but Captain Claret re- solved not to take any chances and al o'clock turned his brow toward Hal flax
