TAKES FIRM STAND
FOR AMERICAN RIGHTS
United States Note to Germany About
Damages for Sailing Ship Frye
Made Public.

WASHINGTON, June ga vigor-
GUS stand in defense of American
rights is taken by the United States
government in the note it has Just de-
liyered, through Ambassador Gerard
at Berlin, to the German government in
response to the latter s note of June
I dealing with the demand of this
country for prompt payment of dam
ages for the destruction of the Ameri-
can sailing ship William p Frye by
The German auxiliary cruiser Prin2
Eitel Friedrich.
The American note, which was made
public last night by agreement with
the German foreign office, challenges
Germany S stand in favor of proceed
ing with the case in the Hamburg prize
court instead of settling in the regular
diplomatic way. The United States in
sists upon its objections against re
sorting to the prize court and renews
its former suggestion that an effort bt
made to settle the claim by direct
diplomatic negotiations. 1t is made
plain by the state department that tht
claim is for an indimnity for viola
tion of a treaty, and that this is Z;
wholly different matter from the pay
ment of an indemnity In accordance
with treaty.
In the German note Herr Won Jagov
contended that the destruction of tn,
Frye was justified by Article XIII O
the treaty of 1899 between the Unitet
States and Prussia. If this argumen
were admitted then Germany Nigh

FRUITLESS FIGHTING
ON WESTERN FRONT
Expected Shift of German Troops from
Eastern Theater Has Not
Yet Occurred

LONDON, June 29.-Fruitless fight
ing sums up the operations along the
western front where even artillery du-
els lack yigor except on the lines be
tween Arras and the sea where BON
bardment of the positions has been al
most continuous.
The expected detachment of German
troops from the east front for opera
tions in the west evidently has not
yet occurred. This probably is due tC
the stubborn Russian retreat and the
increasing pressure of Italians. The
advance of the Italians has been very
slow, but if it is to be entirely stop
ped, more Austrian troops must be
transferred from the Galician line un
less Austria is willing to surrender the
seaport of Trieste.
Trieste, however, being the first i'm
portant milestone on the road to vi
emma it no doubt will be defended t,
the last gasp.

poll peninsula are heavily bombardins

| the Turkish official report, but the 9th

clusion of this operation.

WARNER FACES JURY
ON MURDER CHARGE
Slayer of Mr.. and Mrs. Virgins at
SimonsvilIe Entered Plea of Not
Guilty Yesterday.

WOODSTOCK, June 20. - George
Warner, who on November 4, 1914,
shot and killed his wife s parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Virgins, at Simons-

Warner, on the day of the murders
had an argument with his wife witt
whom he was not living, and following
the dispute went to the homes of he

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

Further pressure by the Teutonic
portant advances by them at two
points according to the German official
statement. In the one case the forces
of Grand Duke Nicholas, which they
have been pursuing north of Lemberg,
have been driven at some points over
the Galician border. In the other the
army of Gen. Won Linsingen has fore
cd the Russians back from the Gnil
alipa river, upon which they retired
from the Dniester region northward of
Halicz.
The result of the AustroGerman OPP
erations northward from Lemberg was
forecast to some extent in recent Off
cial reports from both sides, the Rus
sian statement indicating continued
retreats in that region and the Aus
trian a continued advance impcded on
ly by stubborn opposition from the
Russian rear guard.
The German report now states the
engagements in this territory have ev-
erywhere resulted in defeats for the
Russians and one section was driven
over the border.
Only on the eastern fighting front
are events of moment occurring so far
as revealed by the news which filters
through from the vast field of opera
tions.
The Teutonic sweep eastward along
that front is continuing and the chief
question which the military experts ar,
endeavoring to answer is how far viii
it extend before being halted by tn,
next determined defensive stand OF
the part Of Russia. With the line d
the Dniestcr north of Halicz evacuate,
the main field of contention Just al
present seems to be north of Lembera
where stubborn rear guard actions ar
being fought by the retreating Rus
SLAMS. Latest Austrian reports men
tion these operations at length am
Russian official statements admit tn,
continued advance of the Teutons.
