TEUTONIC ARMY CHECKED
BY OUTER WARSAW FORTS
Capture Of Lublin and CheIm Rail-
road Only Question Of
Time, Says Vienna.

The war situation on Friday was
summarized as follows by the Asso.
ciated Press:
The outlying defenses Of Warsaw
appear to have checked for the time
the impetuous Teutonic drive on the
Polish capital.
Driven back on the fortress o1
Ivangorod, southeast of the city, the
Russian line still is maintained al
that point, so far as latest official
reports show.
It is wavering along the curvine
front extending northwest around the
city, Berlin claims, but has not yet
been broken.
From the fortress Of Nowo Geor-
gievsk along the line of the Narew to
the north, the Russians are battling
desperately against the surging Ger
man tide.
To the southeast the great armies
of Mackensen still are engaged n a
mighty drive for the strategic Lublin-
Chelm railroad. Official and unoffi-
cial accounts agree that the fighting
there is desperate anu that the issue
has not been decided.
On nearly all the other fronts the
Russians, while fighting hard, are
falling back.
Dispatches to Berlin newspapers
declare capture of Lublin and Chelm
is only question Of brief time, but
praise the bravery of the Russian re-
sistance in the fact Of lack of ammu-
nition.
The struggle of the Italians for
Gorilla continues. Rome's claims of
advances are denied by Vienna.
TheN have been few recent opera
tions along the fronts in France and
Belgium.
It is reported in Rome that Turko-
German forces have been landed in
Tripoli.
No decisive actions on the western
front were reported to-day. The Ger
mans tried to win back some of the
ground they had lost near Metzeral,
but they were driven back, the Paris
statement says.
The new American note or subma-
rine warfare was delivered by Am
bassador Gerard to the German for
eign office this afternoon.

FINAL WORD TO BERLIN
IS CONTAINED In NOTE
Officials are Watching for its Recep-
ton by German Govern
menG and People.

The United States government, be-
fore determining the next step in its
general diplomatic policy, will for a
brief period await indications from
official quarters in Berlin. as to the
reception of the new note warning
Germany that the loss of American
lives through further violation of
neutral rights would be regarded as
"unfriendly."
Everywhere in official quarters it
was pointed out that this document
speaks the final word on how the
United States government would re-
gard further transgression of is
rights. The general trend Of ct
ment was that the repetition Of s. n
a disaster as befell the Lusitania
would mean the convening Of con-
gress by President Wilson for consid-
Grafton Of the action to be taken.
In event that the status quo is
maintained, however, and there are
indications through official or unof-
fetal channels that German subma-
rines in future will conform to the
rules of international law in saving
the lives of Americans on unresist-
ing merchantmen, President Wilson
will take up very soon the situation
that has arisen with Great Britain
over interferences with American
commerce by the allies.

tailment and therefore an abandon
ment of the principles for which this
government contends, and which in
time of calmer counsels every nation
would conceGe as of course.
The government Of the United
States ard the Imperial German gov
ernment are contending for the same
great object, have long stood to-
gether in urging the very principles
upon which the government of the
United States now so solemnly in
sists. They are both contending for
the freedom of the seas. The govern
ment of the United States will con-
tinue to contend for that freedom,
from whatever quarter violated, with
out compromise and at any cost. 1t
invites the practical cooperation OF
the Imperial government at this time
when cooperation may accomplish
most, and this great common object
be most strikingly and effectively
achieved.
The Imperial German government
expresses that Lope that this object
may be in some measure accomplish
ed even before the present war ENDS.
It can be. The government Of the
United States not only feels obliged
to insist on it. by whomsoever vio-
lated or ignored, in the protection of
its own citizens, but is also deeply
interested in seeing it made practi-
cable between the belligerents them
selves, and holds itself ready ct any
time to act as the common friend
who may be privileged to suggest a
way.
In the meantime the very value
which this government sets upon the
long and unbroken friendship be-
tween the people and government OF
the United States and the people and
government of the German nation
impels it to press very solemnly upon
the Imperial German government the
necessity for a scrupulous observance
of neutra! rights in this critical mat
ter.
Friendship itself prompts it to say
to the Imperial government that rep
etition by the commanders of Ger
man naval vessels of acts in contra
yention of those rights must be re-
carded by the government OF the
United States. when they aflect
american citizens, as deliberately un.
friendly. Lanslhs'

5000 STORM OIL PLANT;
| ONE KILLED; so INJURED
Serious Rioting-Police Fire Into
Crowd Which Advances Despite
Shots Over Their Heads.

Serious rioting occurred early
Wednesday around the plant Of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
at Bayonne, where a strike is in pro-
gress. A mob encountered the guards
there and in the fighting three of the
rioters were wounded by pistol shots.
It was stated that the guards did
not fire until the mob attacked them
with sticks and stones and had fired
number of shots. Then the guards
responded with round from their
revolvers and the crowd dispersed.
A dozen fremen with hose went to
the plant to fight rioters with water
should there be more attacks.
Before the attack on the police a
disorderly crowd gathered at the
house of Fire Company No. of the
Bayonne department, and smashed
windows in the building. The fire
chief said he knew no reason for the
attack except that the fire house was
city property and the city was guard
ing the Standard Oil plant.
Later fighting was resumed around
the Standard Oil plant and assumed
serious proportions. The Bayonne
chief of police said about five thou
sand men were engaged in the attack
and that one rioter was killed. Fifty
persons were taken to the Bayonne
hospital suffering from injuries. The
injured included both rioters and po-
lice.
There were no additions to the
strikers ranks Wednesday. The men
employed at the Tidewater Oil COM
pany's plant, which adjoins the
Standard, were expected by the strik-
ers to join them. Instead, all hands
went to work. The sight of the Tide
water starting up for the day seemed
to anger the crowd which had gath
cred, and it was then that the attack
on the Standard plant started.
No one went in or out of the
Standard plant wednesday. Some
engineers and fremen remained on
duty to guard against fire and seven
ty-fve deputy sheriffs and one hun
dred special policemen furnished by
Bayonne, were stationed in the build
ings.
Several of the police stationed out
side were mounted and they bore the
brunt of the riot. They drove the
rioters back and most OF them were
hit with stones and pieces of Stag,
and shots also were fred at them.
The police at first fred volley
over the heads of the crowd. 1t halt
ed the attack only a moment, and
then the order was given to fire
again, but this time to aim low. The
police believe many bullets found hu-
man marks, but that the injured were
carried away.

BERNSTORFF OPTIMISTIC
Thinks Note Will Bring Reply From
German Government.

Count Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, went to the state depart
ment at Washington Friday for his
official copy of the new American
note to Germany, although he pre-.
viously had received an unohlcla
outline Of its contents.
The ambassador has had no com
munication with his foreign office on
its view of the note, but his persona
view is that the communication vii.

be made for more than a month. His
personal view is that the situation i:
still left open for amicable adjust

AS DOMINICAN MINISTER
Senate Committee SustainS Charges
and Wilson Accepts
Resignation.

James NJ. Sullivan, American min
lister to the Dominican republic, has
rendered his resignation to President
Wilson and it has been accepted, ac-
cording to Washington dispatch
Friday. Mr.. Sullivan's resignation is
the consequence Of an Investigation
conducted for the state department
+ by Senator Phelm, of California, into
the minister's fitness for his office
The findings were unfavorable to Mr.
Sullivan.
Senator Phelan's report has been
at the state department and before
President Wilson several weeks. Soon
after it was received it became known
he had been asked to resign.
Mr.. Sullivan's brief term as minis
ter in the island republic was at
tended by charges and counter
charges as to his conduct. Walker
w. Wick, collector of customs for the
United States at the island, resigned
because, it was stated, he had tc
work under unsatisfactory conditions
brought about by Minister Sullivan
Senator Phelan took testimony in
the Dominican republic and in the
United States at which witnesses
charged that Secretary Bryan in ap-
pointing Sullivan, had been consulted
by fnanciers associated with Samuel
NJ. Jarvis of New York, who control
the Banco National at Santo Domln-
20 City, which was seeking deposits
of customs dues collected by the
United States.
Other witnesses gave testimony to
show that the minister was interested
in securing contracts there for other
Americans. Former Gov. Fort, Of
New Jersey, and other witnesses tes-
tilted that Sullivan was "big-hearted
good-natured and honest"
The report, which Secretary Ian.
sing announced Friday, would not be
made public until next week, IS un-
derstood to sustain many OF the
