Considerable Speculation in
Washington on What
it Contains.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Aug. 1.-Germany's
note on the sinking of the American
sailing ship William P. Frye by the
Prinz Eitel Frederick was handed to
Ambassador Gerard in Berlin Satur-
day had not been received at state
department tonight. It is expected
tomorrow.
There is considerable speculation
here as to what the German commu-
nication contains in view of the atti-
tude taken by the United States in
its last note on the Frye incident.
Germany was asked to reconsider her
decision to send the case to prize
court, the United States maintaining
that under the treaty with Prussia
of 1928 it was matter for diplo-
matte adjustment.
Should Germany's reply include
the announcement of the prize courts
decision the United States would not
it was said, prevent the owners from
accepting the award if they are sat-
isfed. However, the United States
government will not recede from It's
contention that the case is one fol
diplomatic adjustment.

CARRANzA ARMY
TAKES CHARGE
OF MEXICO CITY
Foodstufs Will Be Sent
at Once to the Starving
Population.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Announce-
ment Of the reoccupation of Mexico
City by General Monzales' army was
followed today by a statement from
General Carranza's quarters in Vera
Cruz that immediate efforts will be
made to send foodstuf's to the starv-
ing population. Heavily guarded
trains were being spared to leave
Vera Cruz with provisions to supple
ment the food being taken into the
city by the army of occupation.
Washington officials hoped Con
zalee had LETT the lips to Vera CRU
SO well patroIled thai trains would
get through with slight delay.
It is said the United States is de-
terrnined to relieve the famine in
Mexico City if Carranza's forces can
not.

Berlin Faces a
Beer Shortage
andHigh Prices
RY ASSOCIATED PRpss.

Berlin, Aug. Prospects of a
beer shortage, and, as its natural re-
sultant, another increase in prices, is
giving concern to the authorities. For
some time now the beer production
has been reduced to so per cent. of
its former igures-for the purpose
of cutting down the quantity of bar
ley used. At the same time the brew
cries are required to set apart 20
per cent of the old production fig
ure for the army-with the result
that Berlin has to subsist on 40 per
cent of its one time supply.
Aside from the general public,
which either is getting less beer to
drink than before, or is paying more
for it, or both, the restaurant and
cafe proprietors are the ones hardest
hit. Even the raises in prices that
have been effective for months have
not compensated for the material re.
duction in number Of sales.
AS one means for aiding them il
now is proposed to stop the sale Of
bottled beer in grocery and Other
stores that have other income sources
limit materially the bottled beer pro
duction, and permit the restaurant;
to handle all that is produced. ThG
sale of bottled beer IN municipal o.
government buildings it is PROPOSE
to stop altogether as a further means
of tightening the load of the restau
rateur.
A restriction of spirituous liquors
so severe that it amounts almost t.
diseontinuance Of their sale is ais
proposed.

Of the European wars outbreak pass

their program. However, the news
Of this climax to the Austro-G German
offensive IN the east is expected hour
~. What little information that was
allowed to leak through declares the
Russians for several days have been
withdrawing to the Brest line, leav-
ing small forces to fight rear guard
actions so the main armies may make
good their retreat. Some rear guard
actions have developed into fairly
large battles, as the Russians, whose
steadiness has been phenomenal in the
face Of defeat, are offering stubborn
resistance and delivering powerful
counter attacks. They have urez4 ated
Won Hindenburg from throwing more
81 his troops ACROSS the Narew, re-
pulsed the German attacks northwest
Of Warsaw and driven back to the
river some Of the invading troops
who crossed the Vistula south Of
Warsaw.
In the southeast Won Maclzensen
continues his victorious advance, and
has swept aside the resistance of the
Russians and forced them to retreat
along hnfh hanks of fha Pho river.
On this front the retirement Of the
Russian armies from Warsaw is Sc.
riously threatened.

German night attacks were repulsec
with heavy losses, says today'i

Survivethe War
81 ASSOCIATED PRES.

Constantinople, Aug. mo bust
ness has been hit much harder in
Constantinople than the newspaper
business, and every monthly, weekly
and daily paper owned by foreign in
terests, with one lone exception, has
gone under. Five still are published
in some language other than Turkish,
but four of the five are Turkish
owned. e
The single exception to the disas-
trous rule is the German "OEman-
ischer Lloyd" which fourishes des-
pite the fact that German as a Lam
guage is much less known in Turkey
than French. The new alliance
brought about by the war is of course
increasing the number of students of
German, and consequently the circu-
lation of the ''Lloyd."
The first paper to succumb was
the "Levant Herald" published in
English by a citizen of Malta. It
was the last English paper to chang
on" The "Moniteur Oriental" Turk
ish-owned but French in language,
formerly had an English section, but
this has long been given mp.
With Turkeys entrance into the
war the French "Stambul" went by
the boards, and in April it was fol-
lowed by the Zionist "Jeune Ture'
a paper friendly to the Entente al
lies which incurred the wrath of the
authorities. The latest to disappear
is the "Turquie," originally published
in Italian and then in French. 1t
had existed on sufferance for some
time, and had been permitted to pub
lish only the official reports of Ger
many and Austria but no reports
from other capitals.

French Marines

~ AssoCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. French ma
rines have been landed at Port au
Prince, Haiti, where the revolution
.1that overturned the government last
week necessitated the landing of ex-
peditionary force from the United
States cruiser Washington to restore
J order. The landing of the French
was with the consent of the United
States, it was stated tonight.
A detachment from the cruiser
Descartes was sent to guard the
French legation from which Presi-
dent Guillaume was taken by mob
and assassinated.
The French minister at Port au
Prince expressed the urgent desire
that his legation be guarded by
French sailors, in as much as the
Descartes had arrived. It was thought
also the French guard would lighter
the burden on the four hundred
American marines.

Wheat Crop Of

Over By Austria
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Aug. THE announce
.ment that the remainder of Rou-
mania wheat crop is now going into
Austria at the rate of $50 railway
carloads a day has caused great
disappointment here, for it was hoped
that England and France would be
able to conclude arrangements to
purchase all of Roumania's available
supply, thus cutting Off the posi-
bility of all this food-stuff entering
Germany and Austria.
According to a statement sent from
Paris by Col. Edmond Thary, attache
to the French ministry of war, the
plan for purchase by England and
France fell through because the allied
countries were unable to act quickly
enough.

Germans Very
Careful About
Correspondence
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Berlin, Aug. because letters re-
ceived from German prisoners of war
in France apparently have been tam
pered with-by the French censor it
is charged-the authorities have
found it necessary to issue a warn
ing against including any informa-
ton of a military character in COM
municaticns from relatives to pris-
oners.
A recent letter from prisoner
contained the surprising request to
his relatives to write him all they
could about the war. An examina-
ton of the writing showed, however
that the prisoner of war had written
exactly the opposite, and that his
handwriting had been initiated In
changing his injunction.
Similarly, he had written that let.
ters to him should be sent unsealed
This injunction too had been altered
to read that his relatives might sea
their letters, conveying the impress
sion, along with the request for wal
news, that he was in a position Il
receive uncensored communications.
The German authorities declare
they are convinced that it was tn,
intention of the French government
to secure, in this manner, militar!
news of value, advance word of in
tended operations, troop positions
and the like. They urge relatives
therefore, to limit themselves in thei
letters to the barest neeiful informa
ton of non-military character.
