TALK NOW TO JOHN BULL.
Long Overdue Hint to Britain Will Be
 Prepared.

Washington, July 23.-The publica- tion by the state department this aft- ernoon of the text of the note to Ger many was immediately followed by the statement that the way had now been cleared for the launching of the overdue note to Great Britain, call ing her attention to her violations of international law, as affecting United States commerce.
 It is stated by an important official that as the violations of law by Great Britain have been persisted in, not withstanding innumerable protests, the note to her will remind her that continued oppression of American trade can not be regarded otherwise than unfriendly.
 This official. however, was anxious | to convey the idea that this drastic note to Great Britain is not the direct effect of German suggestion. The attitude of all officials is that the two
 cases are not related. although 1t Is known that Germany has been insists ent that Great Britain be held amen l able to the same construction of In ternational law as has been applied tO
 Germany by the president on the IF
 sue of the freedom of the seas.
 The freedom of the seas Is at the
 bottom of the whole controversy he- Itween the United States and Germany T and the United States and Great Britt
 ain, and 1t can scarcely he reearded aa any other than . trtaneuiar pr0nleln.

Washington. July 23.-The text of the reply of the United States to the German note on the Lusitana and the subject of Germanys submarine war fare, was made public this afternoon at the state department.
 Soon after it was given out, the president went to Cornish, N. H.. for vacation, and Secretary of State Lansing also left town. Secretaries Garrison and Daniels also will be ab- sent until about Tuesday
 If The only suggestion of threat or menace to the Germans in the note is in the last paragraph. and it is be- Heved changes were made in it just before it was put on the cables.
 The phrasing, it is believed, was adopted at the last conference be- tween Secretary of State Lansing and the president, and at time when there were several other phrases un- der discussion. Officials think that if the words "unfriendly act' had been retained, Germany might have in- terpreted them as most nations would interpret them, Tn the sense which lHey nave Dctu TeSdFucU COuJlHudIIy in all chancellories
 Free of Threat.
 The language adopted. however, al- though apparently definite and strong. does not carry the aspertiy of for- mai diplomatic threat or menace. The general tone of the note does not af- feet the German official minds here adversely. In the. opinion of some German officials. the note is least of all an ultitmatum, and in few ways there are still openings for the con- tinuance of diplomatic negotiations. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, was at the state depart ment today and was handed copy of the note. He would not discuss it officially but he left the impression on friends with whom he talked that the avenue by which friendly adjust ment can be secured had not been l closed.
 | One of the suggestions relative to the note is that it seems to refrain
 from repeating the language of former
 notes, which has been construed by diplomats here as meaning that Ger many must stop her submarine war fare. Not only is there an absence of that character of language, but the concluding paragraph only asks that there be restriction of the conduct of the submarine warfare on ships carrying American passengers.

PURSUERS' TROUBLES INCREASE.
Russians Burn and Dynamite All RAilrG2dS and Bridges.

London, July 23.-Entrenched be- they must capture Warsaw by August the Russians are checking the pro- gress of the German-Austrlans. Fighting of tremendous violence is going on all along the Lublin-C -Cholm Railroad, on the Vistula, and along the Bug.
 Behind the natural barriers formed by the two rivers the Russians have concentrated defenses which, despite the lack of ammunition, are most diff | ficult to overcome.
 Tn their. retreat to the river, the Russians have torn up ali the roads and burned all the bridges Across a Ebarren and charred count...E, the Ger ans are finding difficulty in trans porting their heavy guns and muni- tion trains.
 1 With undiminished vigor, however they continue hammering at the Rus Warsaw, but they do not claim pro- gress equal to that achieved durine recent days.
 ESlavs Abandon Munitions.
 The German War office tonight re- ports that the west bank of the Wis. tula, from Janouwieck to Pramica has been cleared Of the Russians anc that between the Vistula and the Bug in the fighting for the Lublin-Choln railroad, the Russian front has beer broken at several places and thu |Slavs compelled to retire.
 In the Courland the pursuit of the retreating Slavs continues. In thei, flight, they have been forced to leave behind many guns, intuition wagons and other supplies.
 In their advance on the Bug, tht Germans have broken through tho Russian front at Miluny and Scya and are sweeping on the outer post ltions of Warsaw. Unofficial dispatches from Petro. grad tell of fighting along the entire front. Military critics in the Russian
 capital are more optimistic than the!
 have been for some days. While the. } still fear that Warsaw will have to b l given up, they now believe that tn, great natural barriers with whicl Polish capital is surrounded will af : ford the Grand Duke Nicholas plent. of time, if the worst comes to thu worst, to withdraw his army an. save the front which the Germans ar' trying to break down.

Rose Lake Plays
Here Sunday

Manager Williams of the local
ball team has arranged a game
for Sunday with the Rose Lake
team 90 be played here. Mr..
Williams has been very for
tunate i'm being able To- arrangt
SO many games at home and give
the local baseball enthusiasts ii
chance TO see the sport. We
are all glad to have the games
here but very few Of us realize
the expense the club is put TO in
order TO bring tho outside teams
here.
There has been a very good at
tendance so far at the games but
it has taken practically all Of the
gate receipts to pay the expenses
Of the visiting teams, leaving
nothing for the players. So fan
the boys have been able to pay al
lcxpenscs but have had very liiill
left and a bad days atlendanc.

would leave them behind. The
club that Mr.. Williams has sue
ceeded in getting together is a
good one and a credit to the city.
So far they have won four out OF
five games played and they should
have the enthusiastic support of
the city. Up to the present time
they have neither asked nor re-
ceived any contributions from the
business men of thee ity except
the suits and in order to keep
this up and secure games here
they must have a liberal patron
age.
Rose Lake has been playing a
good game so far this season and
will without doubt give a good
account OF themselves here Sun
day. They will probably bring
large crowd of rooters with
them and it is hoped that a good
crowd will turn out for the game
which will be called at the usual
lime, 2:3O.

The council has made the
necessary preliminary arrange
ments for numbering the houses
in the city to get in readiness for
free delivery of the mails
throughout the city, which is ex-
peCtcd will be authorized by the
p st Office department some time
next month.
Inc council has authorized Roy
Milton and j. A. Finn to put mp
the numbers and they are provid-
Ell with a plat showing the num-
ber of every place so that there
will be no mistake. They have
provided themselves with samples
of different styles of numbers and
the property owner can have a
choice in the matter. The cost
TO each property owner of put
ting up the numbers is but a
TITLE and the advantage, not only
10 strangers, looking for the resi-
dence of any one, but also TO the
househOlders in ordering by tel
lephOne, will far outweigh the cost.
