with the President in going over the evi-
dence which has been laid before the De-
partment of Justice by and
gathered from other sources In regard
to the activities of German diplomatic
officers n other German agents in his
country.
After the conference the Attorney
General said he had not seen any evil
dence which would warrant proceedings
on the part Of the Depa rtment Of jus
tice for violation OF neutrality laws.
This statement by the Attorncy-Gen-
eral confirmed the opinion that many
other officials in Washington have OBJ
tanned In regard to recent
charges and disclosures. They contend
that the disclosures contained no evil
dence that would make possible the
prosecution of any important Individual,
and that the value OF the disclosures
consisted chiefly IN confirming the i'm
preston that Washington already had
gained or the extra diplomatic activity
on the part OF the members of the Ger
man Embassy staff.
II has been commended here that the
evidence at hand Ia sufficient to enable
this Government to make representations
to Germany II It desires to do no. I'm to
this time, however. the President and
his advisers have refraIned from taking
u action. although there was ample
provocation before the recent newspaper
disclosures.
They nave felt that the wiser course
was to say nothing while the relations
between this Government and Germany
were strained over the submarine To-
sue. No indication has been given as
to What course they will pursue in the
future.
According to Secretary Lansing, no
representations have been made 10 the

tive to recent charges made in The

advised that Capt. Won Papen. military

charges against German officials.
SO far az can be learned. Capt. von

TURKS REINFORCED;
HALT BRITISH ATTACK
Hard Fighting Takes Place on
GallipOli Peninsula. With
Casualty List High.

'LoNDoN. Aug. is.-Although more
troops have been landed at Suvla Bay &c
reinforce those already fighting the
Turks In that section of the Gallipol
Peninsula. the War ONCE admits that
the British advance has been halted after
many hours of sanguinary fighting. TIL,
Turks. IL is said, have been considera.
bly, reinforced.
The War Office statement follows:
The recent operations on the Gal-
lipoli Peninsula consisted of attacks on
the enemy's positions along the south
sru and 'Anzac' lines and included the
fresh landing OF a strong force at
Suvla Bay.
There is evidence from prisoners
statements that the Turks had been
considerably reinforced with a view
to heavy attacks on us and that ours
f~orestalled the enemy's by about TWEEN
ty-four hours. Consequently the fight
ing was very severe. and on both sides
the casualties were very high.
The landing at Suvia Bay was well
planned and carried on by the navy
hut, In spite OF the fact that the Turks
d. veloped their greatest strength in
the 'Anzac' region, our troops from
Suvla could not make very satisfac-
tory ogr before the enemy was
able to move up considerable forces
from his reserves and bring our fur
ther advance at this point to a stand
still.
Within the past week the positions
won have been consolidated at all
points. The spirit Of the troops is
excellent.

THE WORLDS" REPLY.
Says DIR. AIbert's Explanation
Are Insufficient.

The World asserts ~editorially thi
morning that DR.. Albert's explanations
are insufficient. 1t says:
I'm his reply to the Worlds disclosures
regarding the German propaganda in
the initial states. DIR. Albert asks IL II
is anywhere suggested that $4,000 or 80
cents was ever paid or agreed TO he
paid to bring about a strike in the NUM-
ions factories OF Dertoit. Cleveland ard
Cincinnati.
THE World has no evidence as yet
whether money has actually been paid
by the German Government for this
purpose, hut We do know that "A pro-
posal for such a strike was transmitted
from one German agent TO another Ger
man agent that the first German agent
expressed the belief that according to
our estimates IL could be done for about
$4,000 that this correspondence was
sent To the German Embassy in Wash
ington and stamped with the official
stamp OF the embassy that II was then
forwarded TO Or. Albert and was among
the documents whose loss has caused
the German propaganda so much
trouble.
