This was the most striking state

control not only the output but the
men responsible for the output.

Berlin, June 24-The Tagges Zeituns.
the publication of which was suspended
last Monday by the German authori-
ties reappeared today. The suspension
order against this paper was issued be-
cause of an article on the American
note to Germany unfriendly to the
United States.
The first reissue of the Tages Zei-
tung contains another article by Count
Won Reventlow, whose revious state
ments of German-American relations
are supposed to have incurred the dis
pleasure Of the authorities. In his ar
ticle today he makes covert attack
upon President Wilson in connection
with reports that peace conference is
to be held In Switzerland supposedly at
the instigation Of the president. He
adds:
Meanwhile the president has closed
the Panama canal to shipping trade In
order that ammunition and other war
material from eastern harbors to
vladivostok for the increasing Russian
fighting strength shall not suffer inter-
ruption. And over the Atlantic at the
same time are voyaging the United
States floating arsenals. and the pres
ident demands that an unimpeded
journey be guaranteed.

Amsterdam to the Cenertal News says
that the Germans, following their VIC
tory In Galicia, have made prepara-
tions for another attempt to capture
Warsaw. According to this dispatch.
German troops have been transferred
to the Bzura front, west Of Warsaw.
with the exception of small front
along the Dniester, all armies Of Rus
sia are either within or on their own
frontiers. Heavy fighting was reported
north Of Lemberg. even before the fall

olas may have had some difficulty in
withdrawing his men to new lines
along the river Bug.
Power Of Offensive Passed.
Military critics admitted, today that
the power Of offensive has passed for
some time from the Russians. while
several dispatches from Petrograd de-
clared it may be even years before
the Austro-German aggressiveness can
be worn down. It is generally ad-
mitted that Russia. lige England, is not
suffering from lack of men. but the
lack OF munitions has been the draw
back to aggressive campaigning.
Activity was marked on the western
front yesterday. Each side reports
, slight advances. but the relative posi-
tions have BEEN little changed.
The lack Aof naval news OF the last
few days has been relieved by the an
nouncement that the armored cruiser
