NO CONCESSIONS
ARE ANTICIPATED
Great Britain'S Note is Ex'
peCted to be Defense of
Recent Order.

WASHINGTON July 31.-The inter-
national situation here today was one
of quiet waiting for the supplementary
note which Great Britain IS preparing
in defense of her order in council
under which she is conducting re-
lentless blockade against her enemies.
1t is now expected that the London
note. which is TO precede in import
ance the communication sent a week
ogo. will be received at the state de-
partment within the next three or four
days. Pending receipt and study OF
this note, Pres't Wilson and Sec'y of
State Lansing are expected to re-
frain from sending TO Great Britain
another protest against continued in
reference with American shipping.
That it is the intention of this gov
eminent TO make vigorous formal
protest to Great Britain--unless her
note should offer concessions-is re-
garded as certain in official quarters.
There is, however, little expectation
that Great Britain will offer such con-
cessions and her communication is
expected to be one in Justification of
her course rather than in acceptance
of the American position. which has
been more or less positively set forth
in previous correspondence.
With the Leelanaw incident now
Tele RdIeQ 10 the realm Oh routine UP
lomatic correspondence, there was
nothing alarming IN the situation to-
day as il affects the relations between
the United States and Germany. The
controversy with Germany has prac-
tically reached the stage where fur
Their correspondence is useless and this
government is merely watching the &C
ton of the kaiser's submarines.
So long as German submarines do
not endanger wantOnly or sacrifice
American lives, the administration Will
be content with the knowledge that on
the action. if not in words, Germany
aas recognized the possible set out
in the last vigorous note TO the
Berlin foreign office. There remains
TO be settled, nevertheless, the ques-
ton Of disavowal and reparation for
the Lusitania tragedy, but Berlin ad-
vices are meager as to when Ger

British Freight Boat, Iberian,
Bound For Boston, is Tor
pedOed by Submarine Off
the Irish Coast.
FORTY AMERICAN MEN
REPORTED ON BOARD
Destruction of Steamer Shows
TeutonS Have Adopted New
Policy in War on
Britain.

LONDON, July 31-The British
steamship Iberian. owned by the Ley
land line. was sunk by a German sub
marine off the south coast of Ireland
on Friday and five members of her
crew were killed.
The Iberian, a ship of 1928 tons,
was bound from Liverpool to Boston.
and was reported TO have about 40
Americans on board. These were stock
tenders. who. on the last eastward
voyage of the freighter helped care
for a cargo of horses that were
brought here for the use Of the army.
A Lloyd's dispatch received here at
noon. stated that the survivors of the
Iberian were being brought to land
by a trawler.
The Iberian. normally a 13-day boat
was due to arrive in Boston on Aug
10.
The steamship was both shelled and
torpedoed by the submarine.
Smelling Too Slow.
The underwater boat, one of the
big ~" type. had a long range gun
mounted upon her deck. Smelling
proved too slow for the German COM
mander, however, and he fired tor
pedO into her.
The Iberian hailed from Liverpool
and flew the British flag. She was
built at Sunderland in 1900, and was
437 feet long and as feet in the beam.
The Iberian sailed from Liverpool
for Boston on Thursday. She had ar
rived on this side from Boston on July
20.
The destruction Of the Iberian
shows that the Germans have adopted
a new submarine policy. Formerly the
submarines only attacked ships bound
for England, now attacks are being
made upon vessels leaving this coun-
try.
The Iberian was the first ship car
rying a cargo 20 an American port to
be sunk by a German submarine.
The original explanation of the Ger
man admiralty was that a blockade
had to be established and a war zone
declared in order TO stop the shipment
OF war supplied and food stuffs into
England. The new policy of the Ger
mans in destroying outward bound
ships. however, indicates that Admiral
Won Tirpitz has planned a holder cam
paign by which he hopes TO deplete
Great Britains enormous mercantile
commerce.

RETREAT HANDICAPPED.

PETROGRAD, July 31.-German
troops have forced crossings of the
Vistula and Vieprz rivers. They are
striking at the railway lines upon
which the Russians depend for their
retreat from the Vistula front. At the
same time large German forces are
advancing upon the Niemen river for
tress of KOvnO, whose fall would lay
open to attack the railways running
from Warsaw TO PetrOgrad.
The successes of the enemy on the
NiStula and on the Nieprz have pierced
the Russian front at two points, the
war office admitted today. but at the
same time it was asserted that the
main Russian armies had reached pO-
sitions that removed them from any
danger of an envelOping movement
such as the AustrO-German general
STATS have apparently planned.
The crossing of the Nistula was eff
feCted at its junction with the Ra-
dOmka river, northeast Of IyangOrod.
The German forces which crossed
have been attacked by Russian forces
who are attempting to prevent the
bridging of the river for the passage
of the enemy's main army.
The Vieprz was crossed at Travniki,
after that town had been taken by the
enemy.

The attendance at the general fire meeting Saturday night was not so great as usual, perhaps because of two or three dances serving as counter att fractions. Even candidates for coun cilmauic bonors were conspicuous by their absence. However, a pleasant crowd attended who enjoyed the pic lures, the music and the lunch.

Lucky Alaska

The Dispatch strikes a true note when ir calls attention to the fact that all Alaskans want a full measure of home rule, hut those who have an ounce of brains know that it is better not to try to take the whole bottle at a single dose. We must be ready for it, and, furthermore, our young legislators must know how to apply it. They have already made mistakes, and are making them right along-we expect them to. But they are not expensive mistakes and may soon be remedied. Given the full swing of authority over tho fish, furs and forests, county organizations and what not, and the razzle-dazzle of law making would have been something fearful Go contemplate. Alaska has first to educate its lawmakers. When they learn the three "Rs" they may take up the higher branches. But the people of Alaska are afraid to trust them with the greater things until they learn to handle the lesser. We want them to play fair and honest aud we will be proud of them. But as an In- dependent, self governing country, we must walk before we may run. Go a1Ovv
