HARSRLY CHIDED
FOR U. s. VIEWS
Count Won ReventlOw Says
Remarks Will Weaken
Germany's Position.
WOULD NOT VARY
U-BOAT WARFARE
"Kreutz Zeitung" Doubts if
America Could Increase MUM
tons Shipments to Allies.

Berlin, July Count Won Revent-
low, military writer Of the "Berliner
Tages-Zeitung,' devotes two columns
to-day to attacking Admiral Won Trup-
pei for his article in Der Tag" warn
ing Germans not to underestimate the
danger of a breach with the United
States and questioning the value Of
Germany's submarine warfare against
British commerce.
Count Won Reventlow says he read
the article with the most extreme
amazement and regret" and adds:
THE foreign press has already re-
ported that Germany will cede its
standpoint in the coming note, and
Americans have already accepted this
view. Admiral Won TruppePs remarks
will weaken Germany's position and are
equivalent to laying down arms before
the command of Hands up!' is heard
The writer says that Americans will
read Admiral Won Truppeps remarks
about their strength with pleasure and
will think "See how strong and fright
full we are! Who would have thought
it?"
Count Won Reventlow also attacks
Admiral Won Truppel for appearing TO
believe that the submarine warfare
against Great Britain cannot result IN
bringing Great Britain to its knees,
and declares: There is less reason to-
day than ever for varying a hair $
breadth from our submarine campaign.
The "Kreuz Zeitung," in an editorial
also attacks Admiral Won Truppel, and
declares his article in Der Tag must
be characterized not only as an IN
correct but as a wholly inadmissible
abatement. That the United States, in
the event of its entering the war, could
greatly increase munitions shipments
TO Great Britain it argues Is doubtful
and "is regarded by persons knowing
American conditions as a bluff.
The "Kreuz Zeitung' concludes: "Ad-
miral Won TruppePs statements weaken
the German governments position, and
the article will be looked upon abroad
as sign Of weakness and war-weari-
ness. and that Germany IS adv to
creep into a mousehole before amer
lea"

London, July 6.--The quiet which had
prevailed on the British front in Elan
ders so long has been broken by Brit
ish gain Of German trenches to the
north Of Ypres. The advance was made
after typical trench warfare tactics,
backed by French artillery.
The last twenty-four hours have
brought renewed rumors that the Ger
mans are planning TO launch new
offensive in the west, their aim being
to duplicate their Galician tactics and
break through to Calais at all costs.
Reports TO this effect came almost
simultaneously from Zurich, Brussels,
Paris and Amsterdam, The London
papers given them prominence, al
though how much is Euesswork and
how much is based on fact it is impos-
sible TO determine. According to the
Zurich report. ten German army corps,
which have been recuperating in the
interior from the rigors of the Galican
campaign, are now moving westward.
Allies Suffer Great Losses.
Berlin reports that IN the recent
fighting north of Arras the Allies
forces suffered fearful losses. In one
command. the Germans declare, 9,4OO
men out Of total of 1920 went down
in battle.
The Paris official statement tells of
the bombardmept of Arras and Rheims
with incendiary shells. 1t declares that
the Germans directed their fire at the
'athedral at Rheims.
The French speak Of spirited en-
gagement at Souchez, where the Ger
mans were repulsed in an effort TO take
the railroad station. Arras, Paris says,
was bombarded all night long
Paris also reports incessant fighting
in the Argonne, where artillery took a
dominant part in checking the German
attacks. The Kaiser's troops were re-

KINGSBURY GETS
MONEY FOR DEBTS
Board of Aldermen Grant Him
397,S32-SS79,5SY for Fire
Telegraph System.

Acting on long calendar at its last
meeting until September 81, the Board
of Aldermen yesterday appropriated
revenue bonds for 1897 1872 to make up
the deficiency in the 1914 budget Of
Commissioner Kingsbury of the Char
tiles Department and corporate stock
TO the extent of s679,5S8 for the new
fire alarm telegraph system and $780,
600 for the Brooklyn Botanical Gar
dens.
Some time ago the board appropri-
ated about 100000 to meet the de-
ficiency in the 1913 budget of the Char
tiles Department, but the Board OF
Estimate has taken no action in con-
firmation of the appropriation, and re-
Gently the creditors Of the department
have threatened TO bring suit against
Commissioner Kingsbury for their
money.
Controller Prendergast held that the
Commissioner exceeded his appropria-
ton illegally, and is inclined TO let
him take the consequences. The Com
missioner's budget was cut about $780,
900 when the city budget was made up
for this year and his funds have about
given out. He will need the additional
$500 900 TO carry him through the year
because of the 1000 additional inmates
of the various institutions due 10 hard
times.
The slOO0 for the Botanical Gar
dens is for additional buildings, and
was appropriated TO meet the terms OF
a gift Of 500, 900 from private sources
that was obtained by Alfred T. White
of Brooklyn.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
JOHNNIE QUACkLES AND MAMIE
QUACk PLAY A TRICK.

One morning Johnnie Quackles and
Mamie Quack were waddling along by
the back of the barnyard toward the
pond when Mamie saw something
slide behind a rock
Il do believe that was Mr.. Fox
looking for his breakfast" she said
to Johnnie. "We'bsFAr run around
to the other side and tell the Others"
But it was too late, Mr.. Fox jumped
out and stood in their path, but in
stead of grabbing one of them, as
they had thought he would do, he
began to talk, and said it was nice
morning.
Johnnie Quackles did not answer.
He was far too frightened, but Mamie
Quack was not to be outdone by even
Mr.. Fox in politeness, so she said:
eyes, it's a nice day, but why are
you out so late in the morning, Mr..
Fox I thought you always were a
sleep at this hour
"Well, you see, it is this way, Miss
Mamie" said Mr. Fox 81 thought
was missing a lot by sleeping so much
in the daytime; you see | never have
chance to see the world only at
night, and | wanted to see how things
look with the sunshining.'
ooh. I see," answered Mamie, dig
ging with her toes into the earth and
edging toward the path ON the side OF
the barn.
But Mr.. Fox saw what she was up
to and. he stepped right in front Of
her, smiling in anything but pleas
ant manner.
And l am very glad that | did de-
eide to see the sun shining on the
world" said Mr.. Fox, "for one thing,
l can see how much handsomer you
are by sunlight than by moonlight.
Mamie Quack was not to be caught
by this flattering remark. She knew
what old Mr.. Fox was thinking of, and
it was not her good looks only, but
that she looked like good meal to
him.
'If you want to see the world by
sunlight" she said, "let us take you
down to the pond. There is boat by
the bank, and if you care to take
sail, Johnnie and | will go with you"
Mr.. Fox looked at her, but he decid-
ed that she was too simple to play a
trick on him, and in fact he could not
see how she could. If he could get
the both of them into the boat and
they sailed out into the pond, the wind
might blow them to the other side.
where the woods were, and then what
was to prevent him from having both
of them for his breakfast, since there
would be no one to interfere.
81 shall be very glad to go sailing
with you,' replied Mr.. Fox, land If
you will land on the other side of the
pond l will take you to place where
the berries grow very thick. | thought
of you when | saw Mem"
Johnnie Quackles did not like the
plan, but he could mt help thinking
that Mamie must have some plan of
escape, So he walked along beside Mr..

Fox, keeping between him and the
path around the barn.
When they reached the boat Mr.
Fox told Mamie anu johnnie to jump
in first, and when Johnnie followed
Mamie he saw something that made
him wonder. Mamie picked up a
piece of old bagging and dropped it
over something in one end of the boat,
and then she hoped on the seat at the
other end beside Johnnie.
Mr.. Fox jumped in almost as soon
as Johnnie was seated, and, of course,
he faced them, which brought his
bushy tail right on the piece of bag
ging, and before anyone had chance
to speak or the boat to drift away
from the bank Mr.. Fox let out such a
cry of pain that every animal in the
farmyard came running toward the
pond, and Johnnie Quackles and Ma
ME Ouack hoped out of the boat and
hurried up the bank without the least
interference from Mr.. Fox.
Mr. Fox had all he could attend to
and more, for on the end of his tail
was a big wriggly crab, and as he ran
the crab held tighter, until the woods
rang with his bowls. How he got rid
of the crab no one knows, or if he
never did Mamie and Johnnie did not
care, for they were glad to be alive
and not have been a breakfast for old
Mr.. Fox.
