ATTACK WAS ERROR
GERMAN SUBMARINE MISTAKES
AMERICAN VESSEL FOR
BRITISH TRAWLER.
GERARD CABLES WASHINGTON
Reports Chief of Admiralty Inform:
Him that Commander Did Not
Notice Flag Until Order Was
Given to Fire.

Washington, June 2-Ambassador
Gerard, Berlin, cabled the state de.
partment that the Gulfiight was tor.
pedoed by mistake by German sub.
marine.
The departments announcement was
as follows:
THE American ambassador at Ber.
lin reports that the chief of the Ad.
miralty staff, Admiral Benke, has in.
formed him that the commander OF
the submarine which torpedoed the
Gulfiight did SO through mistaking her
for British trawler, two of which
were in the vicinity, one carrying wire
less apparatus, who were apparently
conveying the Gulflight.
U. S. Flag Unnoticed.
"The commander therefore thought
it British boat and did not notice
the American flag on the stern until
after giving the order to fire.
The Gulflight was attacked in the
English Channel on May 1 while
bound from Port Arthur, Texas, for
Rouen, France, with a cargo of oil.
Two members of the crew were
drowned while taking to the boats and
the captain died the following day
from heart trouble brought on by his
experience.
The steamers bulkhead prevented
her from sinking and she was towed
to Crow Sound and beached for re.
pairs.

the interview. 1t will be his flrst
visit since he returned from Germany
after the European war began.
1t is thought likely that Mr.. Wilson
will seek to impress upon the am
bassador the earnest intention and
unvarying determination of the United
States to obtain an accountability for
rast violations of it's rights by the
German navy and guarantee against
their repetition.
In some diplomatic quarters close
to the German embassy, it was said
that the ambassador would seek to
elicit from President Wilson his views
on how Germany could conduct her
submarine awrfare without interfering
with neutrals, and might suggest the
separation of passenger and contra.
band traffic, or the giving of assur-
ance that the British government
would not arm it's merchantmen car

RUSSIANS take OFFENSIVE
GREAT BATTLE ON SAN RIVER
STILL RACES.
London Believes Another Mighty Ger.
man Effort Has Expended Itself
In Galicia.

London, June 2.-The great battle
on the San, to which the Russians fell
back after retreating over half of Ga
licia, still RACES, but the Russians as
sert that they have assumed the of
fensive. This statement is taken in
London to mean that another mighty
German effort has expended itself.
Though the fate of Przemysl is still
uncertain it is contended in Allied cir
cles that the Austro-Germans have
failed of their purpose to crush the
Russians in Galicia and that their rush
forward, costing as it did, thousands
of lives, has fallen short, as did the
repeated thrusts at Warsaw and Ca
lais.
No Claim by Austrians.
The official statement issued by the
the Austrian war offices makes no
claim of any noteworthy advances in
the East, dismissing the Przemysl sit
uation with the brief statement that
"the situation continues" and assert
ing that there have been no serious
engagements elsewhere on the East
ern front
The Russians on the other hand,
claim victories virtually along the en-
tire front, especially beyond the
Dniester, where they say they have
taken 1000 prisoners. Petrograd fur
ther asserts that between May IL and
"a she captured nearly 10000 of her
antagonists.
italian Invasion Proceeds.
The Italian invasion of Trent is
proceeding steadily and reports from
the frontier say that the group of for
tifications commanding the passes
leading to the vast entrenched camp,
which has its center at Trent, have
been occupied by Italian troops.
Italy has retaliated for the Austrian
air and naval raids along her east
coast by bombarding Pola, the Aus
trian naval base, from a dirigible,
while Italian destroyers have made a
dash on Monfalcons, doing consider
able damage to Austrian shipping and
getting away unscathed.
In the West neither side has done
much of late, although the French con-
tinue moving around Arras and there
has been hard fighting along the Yser.
