GERMANS TRY NEW
ROAD TO LEMBERG
LAUNCH FRESH ATTACKS IN AT.
TEMPT TO BREAK THROUGH
RUSSIAN LINES.
In Western Zone the French Have At
tempted to Force the Germans
From Strongly Entrenched Posi-
tons Without Success.

London.-Both in the Baltic prov
inces and along the Dniester river
heavy fighting continues between the
Russians and Austro-Germans, with
out, however. any very material
change in the situation. The move
ment forward and backward OF the
battle lines in the Baltic provinces is
almost continual and each side has at
various times held the advantage.
In Galicia the zone of the fight has
changed. The Germans. baked in
their effort to reach Lemberg from
the south, have commenced an attack
on the Russians on the river San.

In their report claim to have been
successful in both sections
The movement in the southeast re-
sembles that which failed further up
the Dniester. at Zurawna, but is on a
wide scale. The right wing OF the
Austro-German army is only twenty
miles from the Roumanian frontier.
while its left wing reaches as far as
Halicz, where many attacks have been
delivered against bridgehead. The
center of the operations is Kolomea,
from which point the main attacks
which have carried the Teutonic al
lies across the Dniester in several
places are being launched.
simultaneously the Germans are
proceeding with their attack on the
Russian center on the river Rawka.
west of Warsaw, where they also have
been successful, according to their re
port.
In the western zone, artillery en-
gagements are in progress from the
sea to the Woevre and even beyond
that district. with here and there in
fantry fighting. The French have at
tempted to force the Germans at some
points cut OF their strongly en-
trenched positions. and the Germans
have been endeavoring to recover lost
ground. a big German offensive was
predicted several days ago. but so far
1t has not materialized, although it is
still expected
With Monfalcone and Gradisca in
their hands, the Italians have begun
at attack on Gorilla CORA. further
up the Isonzo river, and one OF the
Austrfans most strongly fortified
frontier positions. The Italians al
ready have cut the communications TO
the north and south OF the town. so
that it now depends entirely on the
different mountain roads to the east
ward.

CLAIMS RIGHT TO
SINK OUR SHIPS
GERMANY REJECTS POINTS URG-
ED BY UNITED STATES IN
WILLIAM p. FRYE CASE.
lnterprets the Prussian-American
Treaty of 1928 to Mean That
American Vessels Carrying Con-
taband Can be Destroyed.

hington.-Germany in a note
on the William P. Frye, an American
ship sunk by the Prinz Eitel Fried
rich, has informed the United States
that it interprets the Prussian-Amer-
lean treaty of 1928 to mean that
American vessels carrying contraband
can be destroyed. Payment is prom
ised for the destruction. but the right
TO destroy is asserted as logical in
ference from the language of the
treaty.
In reiterating that she stands ready
to pay damages for the losses to
American citizens occasioned by the
sinking of the Frye, Germany insists
that a prize court must first pass on
the legality of the capture of the YES
sci. The argument advanced by the
United States that a prize court is
unnecessary, since compensation is
promised whenever there is a viola
ton of the treaty of 1928, is rejected.
The liability for the sinking OF the
Frye is still admitted, but Germany
contends the case was not "a viola
ton" OF the treaty.
Just what the reply of the United
States will be is not known definite
ly, but in official quarters it is con-
sidered certain that the American
government will not acquiesce in the
new Interpretation given the treaty
by Germany.

SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
National HeIrlooms, About to Fall
Apart, Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged to William Penn have
just been repaired by two women who
have never seen the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger The two women
are inmates OF the Pennsylvania In.
dustrial Home for Blind Women. The
chairs are preserved in the east room
OF Independence hall. on the second
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms
OF the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out
The committee in charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse But
they did not dare to let the chairs
be taken out OF Congress hall.
So they sent for Miss Ira Frost mis-
tress OF handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women, and she
brought with her 10 the room two OF
the blind women who understood chair
repairing. The work was peculiarly
difficult. for II was impossible To erect
in Congress hall the Gaming table need
ed to hold the chairs firmly in place.
and. moreover. their woodwork was
soft with age. But the deft seeing
fingers" OF the bling women did the
work in spite OF all the difficulties. and
now the precious William Penn chairs
are safe.

Instructions Sought.

Everybody" observes a New York
woman, knows one or more of those
conscientious cyclists who cannot rid
themselves of the notion that no
one can be trusted to carry out the
simplest details of routine work with
out their personal supervision.
1T was one of this sort who went
west, leaving in his brothers care
a parrot of which he was fond All
the way out he worried about the
bird, and at Chicago he sent his
brother the following telegram:
"'Be sure to feed the parrot
"Whereupon brother telegraphed
back:
Have fed him. but he is hungry
again. What shall do next?'"

NOTE WELL RECEIVED.
Conclliatory Tone Evokes Responsive
Attitude and Compromise Likely.

Berlin.-The text of the American
note was published Saturday in the
Berlin afternoon newspapers. Def
mite statements as to the attitude of
the German government with respect
to the note are not yet available, but
in circles which. while themselves
not officially responsible, are often
good barometers of the sentiment in
responsible quarters, the note seems
to have made a distinctly favorable
impression and is believed to offer the
possibility of negotiations on which
satisfactory settlement might be
reached.
The conciliatory tone OF the note ap-
parently has evoked a responsive atti-
tude here. Individuals, who in the
earlier stages of the negotiations dis
played stiff-necked adherence to their
own views, which made discussion al
most impossible, are now willing to
talk of compromises in which the
compromises would not be all on one
side,

BRYAN APPEALS TO PEOPLE.
Asks Public to Hear Him Before
Passing Sentence on Resignation.

Washington. - William Jennings
Bryan, in an appeal addressed Ito the
American people," Thursday night,
asks them to hear him before they
pass sentence upon his laying down
the portfolio of secretary of state in
the midst of international stress.
Confident that the public will credit
him with honorable intentions. Mr..
Bryan frankly says that good inten-
tons are not enough, and that if the
public verdict is against him he asks
no mercy, asserting that men in pub
lie life must be willing to bear any
deserved punishment from ostracism
to execution"
Interpreting the American note to
Germany on submarine warfare,
which he refused to sign, as conform
ing to the "old system" of diplomatic
standards, precedents for which ARE
written in characters of blood Ipon
almost every page of human history"
and characterizing himself as a cham
pion OF the new system-persuasion
instead of force-as as "a humble
follower of the Prince of Peace"-the
former secretary of state pleads for
the United States to lead the world
"out of the black night of war into

eitedly indicating with his hands Just
how far the diminutive second base
man had missed him with the ball.
1t proved that Schultz was anxious
to put himself in a position to score,
and that he would not idly take what
ever was handed to him. Just how
much this steal meant developed
when Zim stung a single, and Frank
counted.
incidentally, that third inning
brought out some good baseball on
the part of the Cubs. Two we're out
before anything started. Then
Fisher singled and stole second.
Schultz repeated the performance,
and Zim stuck in another single and
steal. The locals discovered that
Catcher Glenn did not have the range
of the kestone, and profted. They
were quick to take advantage of the
weakness of the opposition, and
teams which can do that win games
that would ordinarily go the wrong
way.
Lavender pitched exceIIentIy, with
more confidence than he displayed at
any time last season. Goods homer
was beautiful line drive which dent
ed the tin sign in right field.
Reb Russell in his first real start of
the season was not the alright
southpaw he was in 1913, but he was
so much better than the Russell of
1914 that no despair need be felt by
South Side fans. Eight hits we're reg
istered on him in seven innings; when
he was lifted. Cicotte finished the
game and was hit for two runs, one
of which Russell had put on to bloom. |
In the first six innings Russell
pitched some fine baseball He had
speed, a good curve and better con-
troll than the ordinary southpaw In |
a couple of weeks he will be ready to |
stand beside the right-handed stars |

Judging from the four games the
Whales have staged, the North Side
has real ball team. There is youth
a-plenty in the infield and after the
first battle that youth began to feel
at home. The stage fright has about ,
deserted the team. |
Jimmy Smith is the main example I,
OF this. Smith was lucky the first day
not to have a fielding chance come
his way. 1t gave him day to get
used to the crowd. Since then he
has lined up like real veteran. The
lightweight shortfstop has gone after !!
everything that was hit his way. He
has picked off flies that were in the
third baseman's territory when the
sun interfered with the third base
man, and he has gone back of second
on hot grounders and made perfect Z
playes. Smiths strongest point so
far in the stick line has been sacrifice
ing. But the youngster has a lot of
time to locate his batting optical. :
