IF J. 5. ID AUSTRIA
 ID BE FIRM
Reply of the United States to Latest Austrian Note Will Be Sent Within the Next Fort night, It Is Thought.
UNITED STATES TO
 MAlNTAIN RIGHTS
Will Await Possible Note From Turkey so That All of the leu tonic Allies Can Be Answered at the Same Time.

WASHINGTON, July 15-The Unit ed States within another fortnight probably will send reply 10 a note recently received from the Austro- Hungarian government which con tended that the extensive shipment of war supplies from ,his country to the ahies was mot in consonance with th definition of neutrality
 Unofficially word came that Turkey would follow Germany and Austria in making representations on this sub iect Should the Turkish note arrive, the answer will be delayed so as to simultaneously inform the Germanic allies of the unalterahle view Of inc United States on arms shipments While Germany admitted, in dipo- matic correspondence with the Unit ed States, the legal right of ndivid- uals, in uetral countries. to sell muni- tions 10 a belligerent some emphasis was placed on the super-normal growth of American industries for the manufacture of arms and explosives.
 In the Austrian note, extracts of which appeared in dispatches from Amsterdam, this idea Is developed al- most entirely to the exclusion of the legal question involved. It points out that the American government should be entitled to prohibit the export of war material" if the trade in contra band" takes the form or dimensions whereby the neutrality of the coun- try is endangered.
 Details of the American answer are not divulged but it is understood the United States will not only cite its rights under international law, but re- call the precedents in previous wars in which. Germany and Austria have been interested and where the impor- tations of arms were carried on in extensive proportions.
 The State Department has not made public the text of the Austrian note, and will not do so until the reply is ready

EXTEND SUBMARINE MANUFACTURE.

WASHINGTON, July l5-Because one company secured rights to build submarines of a successful type for a European belligerent and will be un- able to submit bids now. Daniels post poned until September 20 the open ing of bids for 16 submarines author ized by the last Congress. Daniels acted, 1t is understood, upon strong recommendation of an advisory coun- ell which discussed the matter yester- day. Daniels said the department was glad to see large ship building com panies entering the submarine field. Heretofore the competition has chief ly been between smaller concerns, he said, and the time required for con struction limited to a maximum of two years by the contracts had seemed excessive.

Washington Pleased at Receipt From Germany of ACknoW- Iedgement That Full Repara- ton Will Be Made for Ship.
ADMISSION DOES NOT
 CHANGE LEGAL STATUS
United States Expected to Send Note on Matter Insisting Upon the Right of Search and Sci zure of keutraIS.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Although officials are pleased by the receipt of memorandum from Ambassador Gerard transmitting Germany's admis- sion of liability and expressing regret for the attack, by a German submar- inc on the American steamer Nebras- kan, they practically decided the legal points raised by the incident would require the despatch of a note on the subject further to conserve American rights in the war zone
 As in the case of me sinking of the William P. Frye, the German govern. ment expressed regret at the occur renee and offered to compensate Am erican citizens for the losses sustained but the action of the German submar- inc commander is declared justified under the circumstances.
 To admit this, officials here say, would establish a dangerous prece- dent Germany, in the Frye case, con tended it a fair inference from the language of the Prussian-American treaty of 1928 that American ships carrying contraband could be destroy ed if there was no other way to stop the transportation of contraDand
 The United States vigorously ob. jects to this construction of the treaty and in the case of the Nebraskan prob. ably will place on record its view that the attack, even though payment is assured, and regrets expressed, never theless was an illegal act under the international law treaty relations be- tween the United States and Germany. Officials have taken the view of the case that the Nebraskan proves con- clusiyely that merchantmen must be visited in order to determine it's ma ! tionality and character Of its cargo ! before being attacked.

 This would involve the acceptance by Great Britain of the services of the United States as a mediator to bring about the nominations of the British orderin-council as well as Germany's submarine attacks on merchantmen. The German ambassador, for several days has been anxious to see Secre- tary Lansing, but the latter expressed a preference not to discuss the Ger. man reply until he had examined it carefully

GERMANS CAPTURE TOWN
 OF PRZASNYSZ IN DRIVE
General Hamilton Reports Prog reSS Against the Turks; Gen. eraI Offensive Against Rus SianS Expected.

LONDON. July 15.-Abandoning for the moment the attempt to outtiank Warsaw from the south, the Germans probably under Field Marshal von Hiudeuberg, who is reported to have said a few days ago that he shortly would astonish the world renewed his attacks on the Polish capital from the north They not only captured a large number of prisoners south Of Kolno according to the Berlin report but occupied Przasnysz, a fortified town fifty miles north of Warsaw, which was taken by Von .Hindenberg in his great drive from East Prussia last winter. but was retaken by the Russians in a counter offensive This move has taken military critics com pletely by surprise
 In France the Argonne continues the scene of the most sanguinary fight ing but in the operations here, as else where. official accounts are contra dictory as usual Confirmation was received tonight from General Hamil- tua-af -tho success the Allies are re- ported to have achieved on the Galli- poll peninsula. According to report, two lines of Turkish trenches were captured, together with four hundred prisoners The Turks, on the other hand, claim to have repulsed the AL lies attacks
 As was expected, progress against the Turks was very slow owing to the strong fortified positions they hold. But British military authorities eN- press satisfaction with the gain of an occasional line Of trenches, relying on the breaking of the morale of the Turks and on the exhaustion of their supply of ammunition.
 Germany's eagerness to have Rou- mania allow the passage of ammuni. ton through that country to Turkey is taken 10 mean the supply is running short
 Germany's claim of success in the east is confirmed in a measure by the Russian official report yesterday which stated that the Russians, in the face of a strong German force, had withdrawn to the second line of re trenchments It was generally sup posed that General von Mackenzen would after being strengthened, con tinue the attempt to reach the Lub ln-Cholm railway thus forcing the evacuation of Warsaw The new of fensive will probably be general and extend from the Baltic around the East Prussian border to the Nistuli west of Warsaw, for til the Russian troops in this section must be kep busy to prevent them from concentrat ing at a point where the German hope to break through. This is tho second time won Hindenberg has trieC this. His last effort was while be freet East Prussia of Russians. It cost tn, Germans an immense number of mel and very nearly involved them in dis aster owing to the muddy condition of the ground Now. however, onl. bad roads or lack of roads are to b. contended with. It is possible also that the Germans have built railway to the northern front os they hay done in central Poland

Trujillo, of Maytorenas army, at Cabullona this morning According to the mes sage from loire, who commanded the Gales expedition, Trujillo left 60 dead on the field and the Carranza forces captured 22 prisoners. two machine guns and 100000 rounds of ammuni- tion. There were about 800 men en- gagged on each side, but the attacking force had the advantage of artillery. The fighting began al 6 o'clock this morning and lasted until 10 o'clock
 loire says he completely routed the Maytorenistas and that they are flee ing to the Sierra Cabullona hills. Six hundred cavalrymen who were sent west last night from Agua Prieta un- der Col Carlos Carranza are stationed between Anayacachi pass and Cabullo- no to prevent a junction of Gen Acos- tas army at Anavacachi and La Mori- ta, this side of Naco, with the column of Truiillo. Carranza is an officer who was recently sent here from Vera Cruz to take charge of the Agua Prieta cavalry.
 The Nacozari railroad has been put in operation again as far south as Cabullona and necessary repairs are being made.
