Navy Yard Machinists'
Committee Will Confer
With Secretary Daniels

A committee representing the machin-
lists and other trade organizations at the
Washington Navy Yard will confer with
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose-
welt on his return from Boston and prob
ably also with Secretary Daniels when
he gets back probably on Tuesday.
The committee. which is fighting the
proposed reduction of pay at the yard,
saw Capt. Benjamin Bryan. director of
navy yards. yesterday Captain Bryan
law and indicated that the committee
could get relief. If at all. only through
the heads of the department.
Officials of the machinists' union con-
tend there is no reason for a reduction
In pay. President N. P. Atlas of Dis
trict A. International Association of
Machinists, said:
The claim of the department officials
that they are forced to make the re-
d9ction, we regard as not we'll found
ed, because II wages should go up in the
vicinity OF any navy yard before Janu-
airy !. 1916. the naval regulations which
are based on law. require that the
wages at the navy yards shall be cor
Since there is no appropriation avail
able on January l, that is not also
available on July l. the department
Goulu increase wages just now as read
lily as six months later.
so in the present contemplated re-
duction In wages at the Washington
navy yard the department cannot be
considered powerless to remedy the
situation, If 1t has the inclination.
THE departments have full author
ity to create deficits If necessary in
order to comply with law, and some
portion OF the emergency fund Of
the department could be used to in
crease employees at Indian Head.
"Conside ring the present force at
the Washington navy yard as the
number to be employed during the
next fiscal year, there would be
about $1,000 left out of the $4,000
to DC turned back into the United
States Treasury. in case the wages
remain what they are now.
THE department would therefore
have to raise only about $4,000 to
make the proposed increase at Indian
Head"
A mass meeting of the employees OF
the yard has been called for tomorrow
Plans will be made for a vigorous fight
against the reduction.

On Fortifications of
Tyrol and Carnic Alps

ROME, June @.-Aiarmed at the
progress of the italian invaders. the
Austrian commanders in the Tyroi and
Carnic Alps have set large forces or
men at work strengthening their works
few miles inside the frontier.
General Cadorna reported today that
from the mountain peaks Italian OBJ
servers have sighted the Austrians miles
away dragging heavy batteries up the
mountain sides. The slopes are so steep
in many places that mules cannot tra-
verse them. The guns are being hauled
into position by linking hundreds of men
together on heavy cables.
"In the Carnic region we have re.
pulsed night attacks In the region of va
Grande and Val Piccolo." the Italian
commander-in-chiefr reported.
Along the Isonzo front. our advance
has been methodicnl. despite the many
natural and artificial barriers At one
point an enemy battery, subjected to
our accurate fire for several hours,
hoisted the red cross flag as a token OF
surrender"

The police say that Forney admitted

Washington police, who are holding

country should go to war 1t could not
depend on Government manufac cture
alone lat least unless a radical de-
parture from present policies should be
ordered by Congress.
The question put UP to Attorney GEN
eral Gregory Is whether officers of the
army, navy and marine corps have the
same right to quit the public service
that is possessed by other employees of
the Government
1t Is we'll known that the Government
can hold a graduate Of West Point until
he has done four years of army duty.
But the problem is whether he can be
held after that.
The War Department deems the legal
proposition of such great moment that
1T is unwilling to depend on the ad
vice Of It's own law officers.
1t wants an opinion from the high
est law adviser of the Government.
The opinion was asked some weeks
ago. 1t should be given to the War
Department In a short time.
The Judge Advacote General of the
army has expressed his view to the
Secretary of War, but the Secretary
has refused to make 1T public.

US. Irritation Against

Irritation against British hampering
Of American trade is increasing.
This Is evidenced by the letters reach
Ing the responsible departments of the
Government from every section Of the
country.
1t is acceped here that as a result,
the new note Of protest, now under

will change this program. And all Of
the word from Berlin, official and un-
official. indicates that Germany has de,
cided on a policy of conciliation.
British Imputation Resented.
Officials who have closely followed the
situation resent the evident attempt on
the part OF the British foreign office
to make imputations Of bad faith. The
charge that this Government Is con-

GERMANS HURLED
OVER THE DN|ESTER
Advance in Southern Galicia
Checked by Russians at
Three Points. .

LONDON. June 25.-At three points
along the Dniester river the Russians
have resumed the offensive and hurled
the pursuing Austro- German armies
across the river.
The announcement of these victories
by Petrograd is officially admitted in
Berlin This blocks temporarily, at
least, one of the three great movements
launched by the German general staff
following the victory at Lemberg and
the pursuit of the retreating Russians.
Cloaks Real Move.
North of the region in northern Ga
licia and In, southern Poland the Aus
tro-German advance continues.
Military experts In London are of the
opinion that the extent Of the move
ment In the eastern theater Of war and
the extreme activity Of the Austro-
German forces are but cloaks to the
that actually huge bodies Of troops are
being withdrawn under cover of these
movements.
These troops. 1t is believed here. are
the Flanders battle line in a renewed
attempt to hew a way through the
allied battle line In a new drive upon
the coast and upon the French capital.
Attack Beaten Back.
In the desperate fighting along that
most crucial sector of the Dniester bat
tie front in Galicia, between Zurawno
and Hcliaz. the Russians. by re-enforc-
ing their line. have beaten back the
Austro-German forces and compelled
them to retreat, with enormous losses,
across the river.
The first movement OF the Germans
after occupying Lemberg was to at
tempt to advance enthusiastically
along the Lemberg- -Beregane railway.
with the object Of cutting Off the Rus
sian forces operating on the Dniester.
This advance. so far. has been checked.
In these engagements the Russian light
and heavy artillery gave effective sup
port.
The struggle for the possession Of this
! important river means. in any case, de-
! lay and distraction for the Germans
| and with the Russian army In full
fighting order and daily improving its
technical resources. and with an i'm.
mense front for maneuvering and coun.
| ter maneuvring. the possibilities for
conjecture are practically unlimited.
Activity In Russia.
For the moment. OF almost equal i'm.
portance with the efforts of the army
| is the remarkable revival of activity ir
Russia itself. From all parts Of tn,
I empire manufacturers. flnanciers anG
| engineers are thronging to the cities
with offers to help in the matter OF
| army supplies.
At three points on the Dniester. the
| Austro- German forces were repulsed
according to the official statement
| under date Of June %. given at tht
! headquarters of the general stan. II
/ the kosmierjinc district the Russians
carried by assault a strongly fortified
! height. Enormous" losses are said tc
have been inflicted upon the Germans

/ asserts that Russian counter attacks

limited trade with neutral countries
guaranteed by international law and by
existing treaties. This England has de-
clined to recognize and in her latest
memorandum has taken the position
that, inasmuch as Americas s trade with
Scandinavian countries and with Hol-
land has greatly increased, of necessity
all the increase must Of necessity be
diverted into Germany.
Hold Out Embargo Threat.
1t is certain that the United States
will resent this imputation. according
to the best information obtainable in
official circles. The goods in question.
II Is declared. are non -contraband; |;
therefore, in no way subject to seizure.
and the declaration Of Great Britain
that they will be diverted to prize
courts is held by legal authorities here
to be breach not permissible under
intentional law.
1t Is considered certain py many that
unless material concessions are made
by Great Britain before Congress re-
convenes in December that strong
resolution. Although the President
takes the view that any such legisla-
ton might be violation Of American
neutrality, leading Senators and Con-
gressmen declare that as method of
reprisal. because Of interference with
American interests. 1t would be all
right. and they point to the multiplying
of the commercial treaty with Russia
because OF Russia's treatment of Amer
lean Hebrew citizens, as an instance
where discrimination against Ameri-
cans brought prompt action.
Meanwhile little word Is reaching here
regarding the German note. II Is ex-
pected that 1t will be handed to Am
bassador Gerard about July 3 or 8, and
will be made public on July 7, the day
after the President returns fom Cor
nish.
