STOPS TEuToNIC ADVANCE
Russia Brings invaders Advance to

Against Won Mackensen.

Londonderry the northern tip OF
the pincers the AustroG Germans have
been trying to close around Warsaw
and the Russian armies in the Polish
salient has moved the last few days.
This point has moved its way across
the Narew river, between the fort
resses of Pultusk and Rozan, and Is
advancing toward the Bug river, which
stands for the greater part Of the way
between 1t and the Warsaw-Vilna rail-
way, it's objective.
The other point, which Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen is directing at
the Chelm-Lublin Railway, has gained
hardly yard since it reached the vii
lage Of Reiovetz, just south of the
railway.
In stubbornly resisting the German
advance the Russians are making a
continual threat at Won Mackensen's
flank along the Bug river from east of
Chelm to east of Lemberg. Between
Krylow and Sokal their attacks have
been especially severe, compelling the
Germans to send reinforcements to
meet them.
Along the Vistula. south and west of
Warsaw, there has been little changes
except for the German occupation of
positions evacuated by the Russians
when they drew in their line.
While Warsaw Is under heavy pres
sure the Austro- Germans have a lot
of stiff work before them If they are
to capture the Polish capital. After
crossing the Narew they still have the
Broader Bug, lined with fortresses, to
face, while in the south the Russians
have good positions north of the Lub-
lin-Chelm railway, which might prove
the undoing of the army that attacked
them.
Many are of the opinion that the
most dangerous attacks at the mo-
ment are those in the provinces of
Courland, Kovno and Grodno.

U. S. WILL ACT IN MEXICO
Belief Is That immediate Action VIII
Be Taken In Mexican crlsis.--May
Be Embargo.

Washington.-W Washington is mysti-
fed over the semi-official announce
ment that the administration intands
to act affrmatively on the Mexican
situation in the near future. That the
action will take the form of another
announcement, calling for the coop
Grafton Of the three most powerful
Latin-American nations - Argentine,
Brazil and Chile--is the suggestion
most generally accepted. Just what
form Of cooperative action will be
suggested by this government is
subject of much interesting specula-
ton.
That the action does not involve the
recognition of any of the factions now
In arms, is taken for granted. That
1t does not involve the proffer of moral
support to any junta outside the bor-
ders of Mexico is equally certain. And
no one believes that armed interven-
ton by this country is imminent. The
announcement Of an embargo on ship
ments of arms to all factions, prelimi-
nary to the determination of policy
Of cooperation with Latin-American
countries is considered likely.
The administration Is known to
have about made up its mind that mel
Their of the two larger factions in arms
can reasonably be looked upon to re-
store peace and order The action
of Pablo Gonzales In turning Mexico
City over to the Zapatistas after brief
occupation, is clearly indicative of the
strength of the Villistas and the weak
ness of the Caranza forces in general,
and Gonzales in particular.
The president also has before him
the report of Brigadier General Devol,
who was loaned to the American Red
Cross by the War Department to SUI
pervise the distribution of supplies for
starving Mexicans and who returned
from the border with the declaration
that he had been hampered by both
factions to the point where further eff.
forts to relieve the starvation situa
ton would be impracticable.

Stand by Government.

Chicago.-The Tribune In comment
ing upon the United States note to

people must stand by the government.
1t says: "The reply of the govern

concerned. There can now be no doubt
of the duty of press and public, and
that is to accept the stand taken by

New Yorker a Hero.

Chicago.-Charles Williams, repre-.
sentative of New York concern, was
a hero in the Eastland disaster. Strip
ped to his underclothes, he plunged
into the river, and saved a man who
was choking to death. Next he saw
a young girl struggling in the middle
Of the river. Williams grabbed her,
swan to dock and helped her to
safety. A man in patrol boat yelled
to him that another young woman had
gone down at a spot he pointed out.
Williams Owed, found the girl and
took her to shore, where a pulmoter
revived her. Then he brought three
year-old child to shore.

HIT OFF SCOTTISH COAST
Crew Is Saved In Own Boats.--Latest
Act of Submarine Warfare Stirs
Washington and the Tension
Now Increases.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the sinking
yesterday, off the northwest coast of
Scotland, of the American steamship
Leelanaw, laden with fax for Belfast,
by German submarine, has caused
great concern In official quarters and
has admittedly aggravated the tense
situation now existing between the
United States government and the
imperial German government.
While Germany specifically declared
fax an absolute contraband of war on
April Is, and while officials hesitated
to construe the latest hostile act of
Germany as coming within the warn
ing of the last note, the view is taken
that Germany, in effect, had disre-
garded an earlier note sent in connec-
tion with the sinking of the American
sailing ship William P. Frye, by the
German cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
In that communication the United
States vigorously asserted its position
that even though an American ship
carried contraband of war, 1t was pc
c!.i!erlyy protected f-c.. acsS:-;ac..:osi By Sy
the stipulations of the Prussian-Amer-
lean treaty of 1928. Flax was declared
absolute contraband by Germany on
April IS, as retaliation against the
British contraband declaration.
Although precedents of international
law in recent years, supported particu-
larly by the declaration of London,
have recognized the right of bellig.
erent to sink neutral vessel carrying
contraband, II the ship was certain
of condemnation by prize court, the
action has been limited to extreme
cases where the taking Of prize into
port would involve danger to the cap
turing vessel

the note to Germany was Immediately
followed by the statement that the

1t is stated by an important official
that as the violations of law by Great

withstanding innumerable protests,
the note to her will remind her that
continued oppression Of American
trade cannot be regarded otherwise
than unfriendly. This official, how.

that this drastic note to Great Britain
is not the direct effect of German
suggestion.

quarter violated, without compromise
and at any cost. 1t invites the practi.
cal cooperation of the imperial Ger
man government at this time when
cooperation may accomplish most, and
this common object be most strikingly
and effectively achieved.
1.-THE imperial German government
expresses the hope that this object
may in some measure be accomplished
even before the present war ends. 1t
can be. The government Of the United
States not only feels obliged to insist
upon it, by whomsoever violated or
ignored, in the protection OF its own
citizens, but is also deeply interested
in seeing it made practicable between
the belligerents themselves, and holds
itself ready at any time to act as the
common friend who may be privileged
to suggest way.
In the meantime, the very value
which this government sets upon the
long and unbroken friendship between
the people and government of the
United States and the people and gov
eminent of the German nation impels
it to press very solemnly upon the i'm
perial German government the neces-
sity for scrupulous observance of
neutral rights in this critical matter.
Friendship itself prompts 1t to say to
