GERMANY WILL SINK NO
MORE SHIPS UNWARNED
German Ambassador In Writing As
sures Secretary Lansing No More
Liners Will Be Sunk.

Washington,-Stra relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
over submarine warfare apparently
passed into history Wednesday after
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, informed Secretary Lansing
In writing that prior to the sinking
Of the Arabic his government had de.
cided that it's submarines should sink
no more liners without warning
Oral assurances to this effect had
been given by the ambassador last
week But it was not until Count
Won Bernstorff, after a call at the
state department Wednesday, return
ed to the embassy and sent letter
to Mr. Lansing quoting instructions
from Berlin concerning an answer to
be made to the last American note
on the sinking OF the Lusitania, that
officials frankly admitted their graft
hcation over the changed position Of
the imperial government.
Count Won Bernstorff's letter which
revealed for the first time that Ger
many had prepared an answer to the
Lusitania note which was about to be
dispatched when the Arabic was de-
strOyed follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary With ref.
erence to our conversation Of this
morning, | beg to inform that my In
struCtions concerning our answer to
your last Lusitania note contains the
following passage:
Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warming and with.
out safety Of the lives Of non-com-
batants, provided that the liners do
not try to escape or offer resistance.
Although ! know you do not wish
to discuss the Lusitania question until
the Arabic incident has been definite.
ly and satisfactorily settled, | desire
to inform you Of the above because
this policy Of my government was de-
cided on before the Arabic incident
occurred
Il have no objection to your making
any use you may wish of the above
information.
81 remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing,
yours very sincerely.
y. Won Bernstorff."
In connection with the letter Secre-
tary Lansing made the following state
ment:
In view OF the clearness Of the fore
going, it seems needless to make any
comment in regard to it. other than to
say 1t appears to be a recognition of
the fundamental principal for which
We have contended."

RUSSIANS GRADUALLY
FORCED FROM GALICIA
GERMANS HAVE TAKEN ANOTHER
FORT AND ARE ADVANCING
FROM ALL SIDES.

Latest European War News.

An official communication made
public this week by the Russian war
office at Petrograd announces the
evacuation by the Russians OF the
fortress OF Grodno and the retirement
of the troops to the right bank Of the
Niemen river
Except in the region Of Riga, where
the Russians are presenting a solid
front to Field Marshal Won linden
burg, the Austro-Germans offensive is
again making Roadway, and, as they
have been doing for months, the Rus
sian troops have resumed their with
draWal movement The western forts
Of Grodno were evacuated after two OF
them were destroyed by the heavy
guns and stormed by the German in
fantry, and it is considered extremely
likely that the whole fortress has al
ready been left to its fate
In the southeast Vienna also reports
a series Of successes which have vir'
tually driven the Russians out Of Ca
licia; they now hold only very mar
row strip between the Sereth river
and Bessarabia. Across the border in
the latter province the Austrians state
the Russians set fire to a number Of
villages, which might indicate further
retreat. Thus the hopes raised in the
allied countries by recent successes
that Russia, Ut least, was making
stand have been dlssipated.
Everywhere the Austro Germans
claim to be advancing, but they have
not captured Of late any great number
Of men or guns. The Russians guns
have been kept we'll behind the infan-
try and are quickly moved away when
the rear guards are unable longer to
hold off the invaders There is some
talk OF German advance on Kiev,
but the distance to that city is con-
siderable and the country over which
it would have to be made is difficult
for the movement Of troops.
On the western front the Germans
claim to have regained trenches which
they lost in the middle of August In
the VOsges, while the French simply
refer to heavy artillery engagements
which have been the feature of the
hast nine days, with no suggestion of
what they foreshadow
Increased activity at the Dardanel-
les is shown In all the official reports.
Besides their successes in capturing
an important position east Of Suvla
bay, which dominates one of the Turk
ish lines Of communication, the British
have sunk four Turkish transports in
the straits; while the fire of the ships
across Galllpoli peninsula has made
the movement Of Turkish troops by
land or sea more difficult.
According to the Turks, mine sweep
ers have been busy at the entrance of
the straits, which suggests that an at
tack Is contemplated by the allies
from another direction.
A dispatch from Rome says that
the Austrlans have evacuated Rover
ITO, which Italian advances had threat
ened to cut off. An official report
from the same capital claims a num-
Der OF successes for the artillery and
Infantry on different fronts.
