GERMANS EXPECTED
TO FIND L|BAU A
MUN|T|ONED FORT

London, June I, 6. 20 A. MA Reuter-
dispatch from Petrograd says:
Statements appearing in German
newspapers to the effect that Libau is
a fortress and naval base, are denied
here. It is stated that in 1910 Libau was
abandoned as a fortress. that its forts
were completely dismantled and that
1t now is an open seaport.
THAT the Germans expected to find
there important war material is now
proved by their sending many steam
ers to carry away booty, but they were
disappointed, as at the beginning OF
mobilization all important or valuable
property was removed.
'"The Russians assert they intended
to maintain Libau only while their fleet
there predominated but from the time
the German naval forces became supe-
rior. NO serious attempt was made to
remain masters of the city, which is
outside the REGION for the deployment
OF land and sea forces and would not
have justified the necessary disposal
Of troops"

Annapolis, Nd. June THAT there
was reason to believe that attempts had
been made to enter the desks Of the
heads Of at least four naval departments
and secure the examinations in advance
was the statement given today by Rear
Admiral Fuilam. superintendent of the
academy, before the naval court Of in
quiry appointed by Secretary Daniels to
investigate charges OF irregularities in
examinations. 1t Is the belief OF the au-
thorities. however. that only one att
tempt had been actually successful. This
was in the department OF modern Lam
guages. That the Investigation Of
charges of irregularities in examina-
tons at the academy will be far reach
ing and that 1t probably win last at
least 10 days was brought out.
The testimony read from the record
showed that the examination papers for
the first, second. third and fourth classes

that the note had required much scru-
tiny and careful consideration
When the document is finally made
public. these officials stated. it would not
only satisfy American public opinion but
would place squarely before Germany
the issue as to whether the imperial gov
eminent intends to adhere to the hith-
erto accepted principles Of international
law on maratime warfare.
President Displeased
The President has been displeased by
the numerous detailed ACCOUNTS that
have been published Of what the note
would contain when he himself had not
settled finally on its contents.
German Viewpoint
To what extent the German viewpoint
here regarding the situation between
the United States and Germany is the
same as that held at Berlin is not clear
as yet. But certainly the general view
in German quarters here is that the
recent trend Of events gives hope of
friendly adjustment. This is based not
alone on the probable course of the
German side Of the negotiations, but
also on the American course, which is
regarded as developing along lines
which will permit Of satisfactory con-
clusion. The most promising formula
for solution. according to the Ger
man viewpoint is one which would
combine an agreement on the status
of the Lusitania as an armed or un-
armed ship and also a general agree
ment guaranteeing immunity from at
tacks hereafter Of unarmed ships car
rying passengers. AS to the Lusitania.
the German position thus far has been
that she was an armed ship according
to the information in their possession
But when the United States govern
ment states definitely that its own in
formation shows the ship was unarmed,
then 1t is suggested that the Berlin au-
thorities will be in a position to accept
this positive assurance from a friendly
government, Notwithstanding any re-
port to the contrary.

tiles expect heavy fighting at Most

determined stand"
North Of Arras
Hard fighting and heavy losses on
both sides. notably to the north of Ar
ras, where the French seem determined
to nibble their way forward. continue
in the West. but the contests are hard
ly more than trench warfare contrast
ed with the fighting in Galicia. The re-
peated Zeppelin raids on England have
aroused British airmen to extraordinary
vigorous action, raid on a Zeppelin
shed near Brussels and the bringing
down of Zeppelin with its crew near

same time. The British official account
does not state whether the hangar at
tackled held a Zeppelin. blu a message
reaching London asserts that it did.
Italy. since she has thrown her
troops in the field and unleshed her
navy on the side Of the Allies, has
been taken into the financial circle of
nations warning against Germany. At
recent meeting of the British chancel-
lor OF the exchequer and the Italian
minister OF the treasury. an agreement
was reached to pool resources, just as
Great Britain. France and Russia had
previously agreed.

REPORT RUSSIAN
TRANSPORT sunk
IN BALTIC SEA

London. June 7.-(607 A. MA semi
official statement issued at Petrograd
says a Reuter- dispatch states that the
Russian transport Yenisei has beep sunk
in the Baltic by German submarine,
while Russian mines and submarines
havesunk three German steamers. The
statement follows:
Reports from observation posts and
from our submarines watching the coast
reveal activity by the enemy near our
coast, especially the approaches to the
Gulf of Riga. Large enemy warships
preceded by torpedo boats approached the
entrance Of the gulf on the third. but
withdrew on perceiving the Meet. Shortly
afterwards the enemy sent out hydro
aeroplanes which attacked our ships.
These hydro-aeroplane attacks were
without result. Their projectiles missed
our vessels and they were driven on BY
our artillery.
THE enemy repeated the maneuver on
the fourth. but again was frustrated by
our submarines. At the same time in
the Baltic our transport Yenesei was at
tackled by the enemy's submarines and
sunk, 80 men being saved.
Reports dated the sixth seem to es-
tablish that three enemy steamers were
sunk by mines placed in the route OF
the enemy and by the attacks of our sub
marines"

FOREIGN TRADE SHOWS
DECREASE IN ALL BUT
FooDsTuFFS TO April,

Washington, June 7.-Despite the So
called war orders" says an official
analysis of foreign trade issued today
by the Department Of Commerce, the
exports Of manufactures for all kinds,
other than foodstuffs have been less
than in the similar period before the
war"
The statement refers to the foreign
trade for the ten months ended in
April, which shows a trade balance Of
almost a billion dollars.
The normal sales Of manufactures
during peace" says the statement.
were greater than those under exist
ing war conditions. Because of this
fact and the extra ordinary shrinkage
of exports of crude materials, it Is
found that the net increase in our to-
tai exports has been wholly in food
stuffs.''
One of the outstanding features Of
the analysis is that more than forty
eight million dollars worth Of Ameri-
can horses and almost ten millions
worth Of mules have been sent to the
battleflelds. Ten million dollars worth
were sent to Europe in April alone.
