Suggestions for Ending War
Made in Third Statement
Issued Today

BE QUICKLY RESTORED

Ruler State in Clear Terms the Con-
ditions Upon Which It Is Willing to
Arrange for Peace.

WASHINGTON, June Is. = Former
Secretary of State Bryan, in the third
and concluding section of his state
ment on The Causeless War, suggests
mediation as the way to end the war.
As a preventative of war Mr.. Bryan
proposes universal extension of his in
vestigation commission peace treaty
plan.
In celebrating his plan for restora-
tion of peace Mr. Bryan urges that neu-
tral nations, in advocating peace, crys-
tallize sentiment in favor Of peace into
coeeciee course and offer mediation
jointly or soverally; that warning ma
tions join in a treaty to provide for In
vestigation by 4 prominent interna-
tional commission of every dispute
that may arise, no matter what its
character or nature, and that world
wide education movement to cultivate
the spirit of brotherhood among nations
be undertaken.
Mr.. Bryan continues: "When can
peace be restored? Any time now, if
the participants are really weary of
this war and ready for it to end. If
any nation Is not ready let its ruler
state III clear terms the conditions up
on which it is willing to agree to
peace Then if agreement is not
reached blame for continuation of the
war viii be upon those who make un-
usual demands.

Testimony in the trial of Felix Buch-
anowsl1i and Mrs. Dominica Salewiski for
the murder of Frank Salewislli by arsen-
ical poisoning, was continued yesterday,

conspiracy on the part of the respondents

ed Frank at the hospital and concluded

poisoning. He said he was one of three

| that he and Felix were friendly and tina
they never had any trouble During tn
time when the doctors told of performin
4he autopsy upon the victim, Mrs Sale
wisbi sat unmoved

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

The assertion is made by the Rus
sian war Office, in a review of the re-
cent fighting in Galicia, that the Aus
tro-German advance has been made at
great cost. In two days fighting near
Pry the Teutonic forces are said to
have lost tens of thousands of men, and
on one section Of 3S miles on the Gal
ician front, between May % and June
10, their losses are placed at between
100000 and 100000.
Reports from Berlin and Vienna in
dicate that the Russians are being
pushed back steadily all along the
front.
The latest communication from the
Austrian war office says the Russians
are nowhere able to resist their oppon-
ents.
Negotiations between the allied pow
ers and the Balkan states are again
underway.
According to information reaching
Berlin from Sofia, Bulgaria demands
territory from Rumania, Greece and
Servia in return for her participation
on the side of allies.
A Berlin despatch expresses doubt
whether former Premier Nenizclos of
Greece, in case of his return to power
following his victory in the elections,
will be uneonditionally in favor of go
ing to war.
The deadlock on the Gallipoli PENN
sula and the reported failure of Bul-
garia and Rumania to accept the
latest offers of the allies are advanced
as reasons for this view.
The heaviest fighting of several
weeks is in progress on the western
! front in consequence of new attack
by the French and British.
Each side is sustaining severe loss
and although reports are at variance it
is evident that the French have made
some gains in the district north OF
Arras.
/ The attack of the French and Brit
ish forces on the western end of the
German line, which has been pushed
vigorously and with considerable sue
cess, is now said to have sustained a
check. The official statement from
Berlin today contains the announce
ment that of the force which attempt
Ted to break through the German line
toward LaBassee only small number
escaped death or capture. The com
munitation gives no indication of the
size of this force.
! At several other points the report
comedies that the French penetrated
= the outer German positions.
! In northern Galicia the Berlin an
l nouncement says the RussianV have
been pushed back further. They have
made q stand behind prepared de
- fenses 81 miles from Lembcrg.
n The British forces on the Gallipol
peninsula have been compelled to aban
don most of the ground formerly oe
cupied on the west coast. The British
fleet is said to have taken refuge from
: the German submarines at Imbros is
land, 10 miles from the Gallipoh coast

Too Great a Risk.

Bill Donaldson boarded the commuta-
ton train the other morning, weighed
down with woe. In this city Bill is a
railroad man. In Beverly, where he lives,
he is member of the Board of Education
Twas the cruelty of fate, however, and
not these responsibilities, that saddened
his beautiful heart.
Some time ago an insurance man stacked
up against Bill and asked him if he didn't
want to take out an accident policy.
Looked like such easy money to Bill that
he hastily answered IN the affirmative.
Then the usual talk about plans and speci-
fcations.
Il presume said the insurance man,
'Sthat you were born in Beverly?"

er too emphatic to be complimentary to
that burg. Il was born in Philadelphia

Of Grand Duke Nicholas Has Caused
Signs of Generalization in Ranks os
His Antagonists.
LONDON, June IS, . p. m. - The
Austro-German forces in Galicia are
still advancing on the schedule of Gen
Won Maekenscn. Vienna claims that
part Of the heavily fortified Grodoll
region, where the Russians have con
centrated, has fallen into the hands of
the Teutonic forces.
Petrograd does not admit the loss of
any part Of this district, but states
that the Russian forces have gathered
there for the defense of Lcmberg.
In a long review Of recent operations
On the eastern front the Russian war
office admits frequent rctiremcnts be-
fore superior numbers. but declares the
Russian attack left the Austrians and
Germans so exhausted that their op-
ponents Otter were able to resume the
offensive.
The war office reports that the STRAIT
egy of Grand Duke Nicholas has en-
ablcd him to change his center three
times and that the efforts of his antag-
onists to attack the various eoncentra-
tions has caused certain signs of de-
mobilization on their part.
The French still are on the offensive
on n wide front with the Nosges again
figuring in the official communication.
Two days of hard fighting has meant
many small advances to the French
with the repulse of part of the Ger
man counter attack.
Paris reports that in the Arras re
gion alone the Germans used II di-
visions which suffered severely. A
significant phase Of the operation is
the small number of prisoners report
ed.
No definite news from the Dardan
Giles has reached London, but a sudden
drop in Russian exchanges indicates
that bankers either have received in
formation of an important success il
that region or for some other reason
they are now optimistic regarding the
prospect that the straits will soon b,
open to the allies.
Bulgaria continues to express he
neutrality by negotiations with boil
sides.
