Holland Hopes Germany

The Hague, June 4.-The Austro-
German successes in Galicia have
aroused hopes in Holland that Ger
many in the event of a victorious war

ition Of territory in the east, instead
of anneXing Belgium. as limited in sew

Of the war occupy foreign territory

tine, they were referred TO the De-
partment of Justice for investigation.
The State Department takes the view
that had there been guns mounted on
the Lusitania, Collector Malone's neu-
trality squad would have been able 10
discover them without difficulty. 1t
was pointed out that the construction
of the Lusitania's decks was not stanch
enough TO hold guns of the kind said
to have been on the vessel. In order
TO make the decks strong enough for
this purpose they would have TO be
reinforced, and any such change in the
liners structure would have been
speedily discovered, il was believed. by
Collector Malone's forces. When the
suggestion was made that there was a
possibility of the guns being mounted
while the Lusitania was at sea, 1t was
pointed out that this was practically
impossible of accomplishment.

The capture Of Przemysl is looked
upon as a preliminary IN the campaign

trembling, and the Austro-German
army is pushing forward toward

Of that city.
The fall Of Przemysl was due 70 the

nightfall Wednesday had been driven

The other forts of the fortress were

TAFT AGAIN PRAISES
WILSON'S JUDGMENT
"U. S. Would Be at War Now ii
We Had lingo in White
House." He Declares.

Philadelphia, June 9.-"If we had had
a lingo in the White House" said ex-
President Taft in an address at the
commencement Of Bryn Mawr College
to-day, this country would now be at
war with Germany.
Instead" Mr.. Taft said, "our Chief
Executive is a man who appreciates his
responsibility and realizes that, con-
sidering the temper OF the people, a
turn Of his hand would plunge US into
an international conflict"
Mr.. Taft's address outlining his
ideas as TO a permanent basis for in
ternational peace was largely the same
as the one he delivered in Cleveland
on May ~, when he urged the estab-
lishment Of a worlds peace league
with a court TO settle international
differences by arbitration.
A conference will be held in indie
pendence Hall, Philadelphia, on June
II, TO consider the establishment Of
such a tribunal. Mr.. Taft will preside
at the meeting.

Russians in Retreat
Fire Great Oil Wells

Berlin, June 3-News from the Gall
clan front concerning the retreat Of
the Russians indicates that they fired
and destroyed twenty or more great
crude oil wells as well as q number Of
wells from which naphtha is derived,
in the oil producing region between
Boryslaw and Drohobycz, lying to the
west of Stry II is estimated that
10000 tons Of oil was destroyed.
The Russians had been using the
wells for the production of illuminat-
ing oil, benzine and grease. They are
said to have spared the English and
French wells, but damaged the oil car
rying apparatus and railroad stations,
and carried away tank cars.
The naphtha blazes were extin-
guished by choking the wells with
earth. The Austro-German forces re-
captured the mineral wax mines at
Boryslaw. the only ones in Europe.
Their annual product is valued at
$500 600

GERMAN TRANSPORT
SUNK BY BRITISH

London. June 8 A British subma-
rine operating in the Sea Of Marmora
torpedoed a large German transport
in 'Panderma Bay yesterday morning:
1t is said the submarine was one OF
several operating in these waters,
The transport is believed TO have
been either the steamer General, OF
800 tons, formerly of the German
East Africa Company, or the Corco-
vado. OF 1900 tons, owned by the Ham
burg American Steamship Line.
The General fed to Constantinople
at the same time as the German cruis-
ers Goeben and Breslau. The Corco-
vado was used by the Hamburg Ameri-
can Line TO inaugurate passenger
service between the United States and
Turkey last year. She was in the
Black Sea when the war started and
took refuge in the Bosporus, later be-
ing transferred to the Turkish flag.

Chiasso, Italy, June 3.-Several
American families crossed the frontier

THE policy pursued by the President

sons. Of whom lis were Americans, on
the Lusitania, coming amidst such re-
uorts. was naturally a mere incident.
What mean 10 say is that the loss OF
the lives was the least important point
about il. owing TO the fact that every
one in Germany has become almost cal
loused, or hardened, TO hearing OF the
deaths of large numbers OF persons, IN
much more frightful ways than by
drowning.
"When reports Of this kind become
a daily occurrence, almost to be expect
ed. the killing of one hundred Ameri-
cans. who. took their risk OF travelling
through the war zone. on belligerent
ship. after an official warning had been
issued by our embassy in Washington,
naturally does not horrify the people
of Germany. And the most natural
thing in the world is that, not feeling
Mortified or impressed themselves, the
men in our Foreign Office would not
readily think that anyone else was
horrifed or impressed.
There is no misunderstanding on the
part Of the German Foreign once
which would have to be corrected by
Count Won Bernstorff as to any physi-
cal facts in this country. Germany un-
derstands perfectly just what the re-
sources of this country are, what rs
army and navy and militia are, and
what its possibilities Of aid in the form
Of almost unlimited credit would be TO
either side in this war. There IS no

Wants No War with United States.
Germany has no desire TO have the
power of this country arraigned against
il in this war either for practical or
sentimental reasons. II she did, the
note Just received by President Will
son from the German Foreign Office
would have been very different. II
there had not been the most ardent de-
sire on the part Of Germany 20 main
tain its friendly relations with the
United States that note would have
taken a very different tone. 1t would
have declared az once the utter impos-
sibility % abandoning the submarine
campaign, no matter what the feelings
OF this country might be on the sub
ject
AS it is. Germany only asks to have
certain essential facts cleared up be-
fore proceeding with the negotiations.
But the attention OF the German For
eign Office should be drawn to the Sc
rious feelings Of the people of this
country on the Lusitania incident. and
hence the note dispatched by Count
Won Bernstorf.
81 would like 10 correct Just one
other impression which the jingoes Of
this country have been spreading. and
that is that Germany regards this ma
| ton as one which would not fight under
any provocation. Germany realizes
