gagged. Teuton and Slav are at death
grips More than 100000 are re-

than two thirds of the Germans under

the entire strength of Austria-H Hungary
has been added to the Armageddon on

The long maturing plans of Won
Hindenburg, the Prussian military
genius, which it has been predicted
will startle the world, are in process
of quick development. Leading his
own legions, he has split and broken
the Russian front south of Przasnycz

heels of the rapidly retreating Slavs
has extended his advance until 1t ap-
proaches the banks of the Narew.

U. S. URGED TO ACT
GERMANY ASKS NEW EFFORT TO
END STARVATION POLICY.
Secretary Of state Lansing Declines
Again to Sound Great Britain
on Subject.

Washington, July 19.-In an inter-
view here, to which considerable i'm
portance had been attached, Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor, found Secretary Lansing unre-
sponsive to suggestion that the Uni
ted States undertake again to APP
proach Great Britain with a view of
effecting an arrangement under the
terms of which the British embargo
on shipments of supplies of all kinds
to German ports and the German sub
marine warfare on unarmed merchant
ships would be discontinued.
Beyond the suggestion that the
United States again undertake to
bring about modus vivendi that
would bind Great Britain to suspend
what the German government terms
"England's starvation policy" and bind
Germany to discontinue the sinking of
merchant ships before an opportunity
and crews to reach places Of safety
nothing was said by the German en-
voy according to the best information
obtainable, to change the understand
ing of the United States on Germany's
attitude as made known in the latest
note of the Berlin government.
AS matters stand the response of
this government will be based on Ger
mppy's unwillingness to concede that
she is bound by the established rule
of international law that merchant
vessel, no matter what its status,
shall not be sent to the bottom by a
German submarine until after the re-
quirement of visit and search has
been complied with and passengers
and crew have been afforded time to
reach place of safety.
