OF the French armies in Belgium and
France She had a crew of seventy
two men and carried ninety-six men
as mule tenders. OF these, eighty
seven were American citizens, nearly
all of them negroes. The ships mani

head of mules, the Armenian carried
1,771 bales of hay and a quantity of
bran, oats, and other horse feed.

London, July IA brief Austrian
official communication received this

made no such admission, although
conceding that hard fighting in this
section was in progress.
On the north part of the eastern
front to the north and northwest of
Lemberg it is said that the Russians
are falling back precipitately, the
Austro-Germans having occupied an
other Polish town, Zawichost, just ov
er the frontier.
The present position Of the Rus

capital, the Austro-Germans are at

time they are hurting great forces at
the centre, in the vicinity of Tomas

The success OF this movement
would-so sever the Russian armies as
to leave Warsaw unprotected from
the rear, and the desire to check

tinued Russian retirement to the
north.

official British statement and reports
current in Paris, the latter placing

Good Treatment
For Oily Scalp

Men and women whose hair and
scalp are excessively oily suffer more
in the warmer months than at any
other time. The summers dust and
dirt mingle with dandruff. cling to
the oily hair and scalp, clog the scalp
pores. stiile the hair roots and make
proper cleansing almost impossible.
Partisan Sage is an ideal treatment
for this trouble Wash the hair not
oftencr than once Il week, but use
Partisan Sage twice daily, pouring
little into the parted hair and rub
hing briskly right into the scalp with
the finger tips. II drives out dand-
ruff, dissolyes the excess oil and
stimulates the scalp into healthy
normal action. Sold by w. l.. Gokey
and leading druggists everywhere.

Americans-eight whites and II ne
gToes-who were unaccounted for,
but later kilograms spoke of DR.. j. s.
Viso, a Porto Rican, and three ne
groes as having been picked up by q
submarine and other survivors by a
61selgian trawler and transferred to
u destroyers which brought
them = Bristol.
The news created a sensation in
official quarters as it was the first
case of loss of American lives since
the sinking of the Lusitania. The
gravity of the incident however,and
the action of the Washington govern
ment depends almost entirely on
whether the Armenian was chartered
by the British government and was
in fact, transport of war aboard
which Americans would sail at their
own isk or whether she was an un-
armed merchantmen.
In the latter case, even though
carrying contraband, the ship should
have been subjected to visit and
search and those aboard transferred
to place of safety before the de-
struction of the vessel was attempt
ed.
In the absence of official informa-
tion on these points officials declined
to say what effect the sinking of the
Armenian would have on pending ne
gotiations between the United States
and Germany Immediate inquiry
was directed however, to Ambassador
Page at London to secure more de-
tails and when Secretary Lansing re-
turns tomorrow Ambassador Gerard
Will he instructed, to inquire OF tie
German admiralty as to its report.
From the messages received it ap-
pears that in addition to the torpedo
at least one shot was fired from dis
appearing rifle. The consul's report
sail the wireless house was taken
by second shot" 1t was not made
clear whether the Armenian was first
ordered to halt and resisted capture
requiring n second shot or whether
the submarine attacked without warn
ming. The fact that the number Of
the submarine was given indicated
that she had come to the surface to
make the attack.
Mules are contraband of war, ac.
cording to all the lists of the belli.
gerents, SO there can be no doubt as
to the contraband character of the
Armenians cargo,
Unofficial adyices here tonight
were to the effect that the Armenian
had been chartered by the Dominion
line to the Leyland which is under
stood to have a contract for the ship
ment of mules for the British govern
ment and recently has made many
trips
1t is assumed the Armenian was nm
armed as such vessels usually carry
no guns. Even if she actually had
been under charter by the British
government there is anumderstanding
between the United States and Great
Britain that none fthe latter's ships
shan be given clearance for Amcric-
an ports If armed
Officials tonight were inclined to
the view that the case would hinge
largely upon whether the Armenian
was given warning and whether she
attempted to escape after being or
dered to stop.
From the fact that two shots were
fired at the Armenian when the sub
marine came to the surface some Off
Gals think the ship may not have
needed the warning to halt.
