THE government OF the United

itself ready at any time to act as the
common friend who may be privileged

I'm the meantime the very value
which this government has upon the

garded by the government of the Uni

1.-The events of the past two months
have clearly indicated that it is pos
slble and practicable to conduct such
submarine operations as nave charac-
terized the activity of the imperial Ger
MAJ navy within the so-called war zone
IN substantial accord with the accepted
practices of regulated warfare. The
whole world has looked with interest
and increasing satisfaction at the DEM
onstration of that possibility by German
naval commanders. 1t is manifestly
possible, therefore, to lift the whole
practice of submarine attack above the
criticism which it has aroused and re-
move the chief causes of offenSe. In
view of the admission of ~illegality made
by the imperial German government
when it pleaded the right of retaliation
in defense of its acts, in view of
the manifest possibility of conforming
to the established rules of ava war
fare, the government of the United
States cannot believe that the imperial
government will longer refrain from
disavoWing the wanton act of its naval
commander in sinking the Lusitania or
from offering PREPARATION for the Ameri-
can lives lost so far as reparation can
be made for a needless destruction of
human life by an illegal act.
The government of the United
States, while not Indifferent to the
friendly spirit in which it is made, can
not accept the suggestion of the i'm
perial government that certain vessels
be designated and agreed upon which
shall be free on the seas now illegally
prescribed. The very agreement would
be an implication, subject other YES
sells to illegal attack and would be a
curtailment anc therefore an abandon
ment of the principles for which this
government contends n which in

IRON RING IS DRAWING
CLOSER ABOUT WARSAW
Germans Gradually Forcing Way Toward Polish Capital
Desperately Battling Russians Hope to Check Enemy
When Troops Retire to Fortified Positions.

Field Marshal Won Mackenzen, oper-
ating between the Bug and the Visit
ula, continues his wild sledge hammer
blows against the Chelm-Lublin line
of the Russians, directing them now
particularly against the city Of Lub-
lin. His immediate detectives are Bel
zyce, Travniki, Vosslavitze and CRUDE
chow. Belzyce is ~ miles southwest
of Lublin.
OF only slightly less Importance in,
this region are the battles on the Bug
between Krylow and Dobrotovra. West
of Warsaw the Russians have moved
back to their second line of defenses
at Blonie and Nadarzyn, and their po-
sitions in front Of Ivangorod. The lat
ter positions are regarded the strong
est In the Russian line, as is Indicated
by the fact that the Germans assaulted
them furiously in their former cam
paigns against Warsaw, and were I'M
able to breach them.
To the northward, battles are raging

narrow line, which embraces the strong
points of PultusS and Rozan, COM

what this government regards as
grave and unjust violations of the
rights of American citizens by German
naval commanders. Illegal INC in
human acts, however justifiable they
may be thought to be, against an en-
envy who is believed to have acted in
c~ontravention of law and humanity,
are manifestly i~ndefensible when they
deprive neutrals of their acknowl-

violate the right to life itself.
If a belligerent cannot retaliate
against an enemy without injuring the
lives of neutrals, as we'll as their prop
erty, humanity. as Well as justice and
a due regard for the dignity of neu-

practice be discontinued. If persisted
in it will under such circumstances

nation affected.
The government of the United
States is not unmindful of the extraor-

Chicago, July 24.-Loaded with $500 excursionists, employees Of

evidence TO substantlate such figures are lacking. Scores who es-
capped drowning We're hurt in the panic that marked the disaster.

Panic of the worst kind struck the passengers when the boat

ing decks, fought for room on the companonways and clutched at
companions deck chairs or any other object that came to hand.
Women and children by the hundreds were caught below decks
and the scratched faces, torn clothing and bruised bodies of the dead

San Antonio. Tex, July 24.-Definite
orders ave been received from Wash
ington by Maj. Gen. Frederick Funs-
ton, commanding the border troops, to
repel any firing on American territory
in fighting between Carranza n Villa
forces at Nogales and Naco.
Washington, July 24.-General Funs-
tons orders to repel any firing into.
American territory in fighting along
the Mexican borders are the most dras-
tis the war department has yet given
for protection of Americans in Naco
and Nogales or any other place where
they are endangered by battles be-

the line.
1t is understood that both Carranza

United States will use force to pre-
vent harm to Americans through any
violation of the so-called neutrality
agreement by which Brigadier General
Scott, chief of staff of the army, got
the factions to agree not to battle
where their fire would fall over the
border.
General Funston's orders do rot
mean that he must send United States
troops over Inc DOIOeI lllO NIbhlCO. vi
1cials have previously emphasized
that repelling the Mexican fire by
force is in no sense an invasion of
Mexico. 1t would really be consid-
cred as a lawful act to repel invasion
from Mexico. If forced to act, Gen
eral Funston probably would place his
artillery in position to drive the Mex
lean factions SO far from h border
that American territory would not be
threatened by their battle.
