Dan Batey Meetings.
The Dan Batey meeting at Trinity
NJ. E. church last evening had a large
attendance and the address Of Mr..
Batey was enthusiastically received

logic and well told stories concerning
his life and experience as rescue
worker, have winning effect. They
have had it in many communities

Mountain Slopes Spotted
with Dead of Both
Armies.
BATTLE OF ISONZO
FIERCEST OF FRONT
Invaders Are Determined to
Take Gorilla, Whatever
the Cost.
LRr CAhls 10 The Trlhune.l

Budapest. July Il dispatch to "The
London Morning ").-Private ad-
vices describe the battle of lsonzo as
the greatest fought on the Italian
front The attacks Of King Nlctors
forces are almost incessant and most
determined in character. The bridge
head of Gorilla has suffered greatly
from the bombardment of the Italians,
who seem intent on carrying the posi-
ton, whatever the cost, in order TO
develop operations on the east side Of
the river.
The whole front is strewn with thou
sands Of dead. The mountain slopes
are spotted with the bodies Of attack
ers and defenders alike. The new
Italian offensive seems 10 develop all
along the front IN the Tyrol, Carnia
and Trentino.
A new device has been adopted by
the Austrians. Peaks and high noun
tain slopes have been fortified, and
men are under cover behind rocks and
great stones, built up all around peaks.
When attacked by great masses from
below they blow up these fortified
positions, so that great boulders roll
down on the enemy. II is stated that
Italian losses total 100000 men, In
GLIDING 1000 prisoners.

London Celebrates Ally's
Fete Day, Despite Rain

London, July 14.-"The Daily News"
saws that Frances national fete day
was celebrated to-day throughout the
metropolis by an enthusiastic scheme
for the sale of miniature flags, which
left no doubt about the warmth of Lon
don's regard for England's ally. Il was
the rarest thing Yesterday afternoon to
find anyone, rich or poor, old or young,
who was not wearing the tricolor.
The celebration went with a vigor
and animation that not even the rain,
which began persistently late in the
afternoon, could quench. Millions of
tiny flags were sold in addition TO a
vast number of medals and replicas of
the famous rs guns.
There were many we'll known ac-
tresses among the thousands of at
tractve flag sellers. Gsby Deslys held
a prolonged reception at the Davory
Hotel. She began the day splendidly by
selling a flag for ten pounds, and almos,
Immediately afterwards went one bet
ter by obtaining fifty pounds for an
other. This second flag was sold TO Sir
J. II. Barrie.
Megan Lloyd George was one Of the
flag sellers in whitehall and made an
irresistible appeal TO politicians and
others as they passed by. She was too
late, however, in tackling her father.
The Minister of Munitions had already
purchased from another seller.

Sofia Minister Held
as Bomb COnSpiratOr

Milan, July 1.-THE news Of the ar
rest of GenadiefF, Minister of Foreign
Affairs in the Radoslavogf Cabinet, as
the inspirer Of dynamite outrage dur
ing a ball in the Casino at Sofia. has
caused a great sensation.
Genadief is one of the most capa-
BILE and unscrupulous politicians in
Bulgaria. In 1918 he was sent before
the High Court with other members Of
the Petkofr Cabinet on the charge Of
misuse of public funds. The court
proceedings dragged out twelve months,
and the guilt of Genadief and the
others was practically proved. When
the war broke out his political friends
took advantage of the crisis to get the
vote of the High Court annulled.
Genadieff was formerly a partisan
Of Germany and Austria. but some time
ago he became an advocate Of inter
vention on the side Of the Quadruple
alliance. His arrest is fresh proof that
the German party in Sofia has again
got the upper hand. GenadiefT has
many powerful political partisans.
That the Bulgarian Cabinet has taken
such an extreme step as his arrest
shows that the struggle between the
partisans of the central powers and Of
the quadruple alliance has reached a
most acute stage.

If Germany Will Not Accept
Rules of Humanity, All Is On,
Declares Ex-AmbaSsador.

fRy telegraph to The Tribune

Boston. July 14-David Jayne Hill,
ex-Ambassador TO Germany, gave his
version Of the Lusitania controversy
in the following statement issued at
his summer home, in North Cohassetr
to-day:
There are occasions when silence
DELAY and prolonged negotiations are
not only humiliating but fatal to the
prestige and future influence of ma
ton.
"The Lusitania controversy involves
only two points: Was the sinking OF
the Lusitania in accordance with the
accented rules of international law
Does the imperial German government
maintain its right and intention to dis
regard those rules in its treatment of
the citizens of neutral and friendly
country
"On the answers TO these two ques-
tions depends the course that should
nrcmptlv be followed. If Germany &C
cepts the rules in question and INTENDS
10 observe them, the controversy VIII
end. If she does not it will be DIM
cult 10 regard her friendly profession
Is sincere. In the latter case II woulc
be an act of insincerity on the part
If the United States to accept such al
frmations of friendship, and. above all
TO express sentiments of confidence and
amity in return

WAR FAILS TO CURB
GERMAN CASTE SPIRlI
Arstocracy Will Not Allow Soldiers Wounded at front 10
Approach Its tiaunts-Many Watering Places Bar
Injured Troops from Cure.

Social Democratic party, prints this
story:
-Four privates Of Westphalian in
fantrv regiment who had been slightly
wounded i'm the trenches at the western
front received furlough and transporta-
ton 70 their homes. The transportation
called for third class odatlon.
The train which they took at Aix-la-
Chapelle was an express train and illled
TO the last seat Of the second and third
class compartment cars. Pale and weak
from suffering, loss Of blood and eX-
posure, one OF the soldiers appealed TO
one Of the guards. who assured them
that the train vas filled.
at would have been question Tor
these men either 10 wait ten hours Tor
the next train or 10 remain standing
between the aisles for an indefinite pc
Rod. But the guard, veteran soldier
came to their rescue. Throwing open
the door Of compartment IN hrst
class carriage, he told them to jump IN.
THE sole occupant was an elderly
man of distinguished appearance. lie
looked up at this sudden Intrusion,
coldy measured the soldiers in their
rough and soiled uniforms, then angrlly
called for the guard.

"But the train had gathered speed

the compartment seat. leaving the other
seat TO the Outraged traveller.
AT the next station he got out, called
for the station master and loudly com
planned that the soldiers had been
thrust into the same compartment with
him. He insisted that he had paid full
first class fare and was entitled to the
privacy and comforts which he had pur-
chased. He gave a name well known
among the landed gentry.
The station master. awed by MS
titled complainant, ordered the soldiers
removed to a second class compart-
ment.
This is as unfortunate an incident
as il ,s-as we believe-an unusual
one" the "Vorwaerts" comments. The
men who sit at home in Incidence and
luxury. far removed from the fighting
line and from the misery Of the life IN
the trenches. certainly are least au-
thorized to voice such a protest. 1t IS
degrading reflection on all patriotic
Germans, and ought not to be toler-
ated."

BALKAN KINGS
CONFER IN ATHENS
Are Opposed to War, but
Ministers Arguments
Nav Prevail.
Bv GORDON CoRDoN-SMITH.

Milan, July 1.-THE Rome lrlbuna
saws the Kings of Bulgaria and ku-
mania. accompanied by their Foreign
Ministers, are going to Athens to con
fer on the Balkan situation with King
Constantine. This shows that the
crisis has now reached an acute stage.
As all three kings are personally OPP
posed TO Intervention, only the argu
ments of their Ministers that 1t IS
necessary to safeguard the interests OF
their countries will force their hand.
The Montenegrin official journal,
"Tcherna Cora publishes long com
munique explaining the occupation CT
Scutari. 1t says this was made neces-
sary by the intrigues Of Austrian
agents, who were trying to stir up Al
bantam attacks on Montenegro. 1t adds
that Montenegro will accept the de-
cision Of the powers as to the future
of Scutari. The occupation allows
Montenegro TO send against Austria
large bodies OF troops which hitherto
have guarded the Albanian frontier.
A meeting Of students of Bucharest
University ives held to denounce the
presence in Rumania OF German agents,
who sought 10 corrupt all persons OF
influence. They nave even attempted
to distribute money among the stu
dents to obtain a movement against
war. A huge public manifestation in
favor OF war is now being organized by
students and leading national societies:
General Crainiceanu, eX-Mlnster OF
War. saws in the universal that to
change into victory the strategical sit
nation created i'm Galicia, the Austro-
German army must take the offensive
simultaneously in the Polish centre and
against the north and south wings OF
the Russian army, but that they have
not enough troops for such move. -,
General Crainiceanu declares that all
reports that troops are being sent to
the Anglo-French front, to the Italian
front, against the Serbians and to the
Rumanian frontier are only inventions
Of the German staff 70 cover lnacton
in Russia
On the other hand, General Mustatzo,
in the same journal, declares It would
be madness for the Ruuanian army TO
iom the auadruple alliance as long "a
the struggle in Galicia and Poland Is
undecided.
