SENDS BATTLESHIPS
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The Amer
lean battleships Louisiana and New
Hampshire sailed tonight from New
port, Rhode Island, for Vera Cruz, in
response to an urgent request from
Commander McNamee that his little
feet of gunboats be reinforced in view
of the anti-foreign demonstrations in
Carranza's capital.
It Is understood Wilson himself or
dered the battIeships sent, although
no official would admit even that they
had sailed. Official reticence is due
largely to the fear that news of the
coming of the battleships might &C
centuate the already serious situation
at Vera Cruz. Secretary Lansing re-
fused to discuss naval matters furth-
er than to say a ship would be sent
TO Vera Cruz to replace the one which
viii bring away the Brazilian and
Quatamalian ministers. He also said
that on account of continued bandit
raids, the United States forces will
be increased on the border, declar-
ing emphatically that neither this mol
the action of any ships had any bear
ing on the plans of the Pan-Americar
conference.

b1 ASSOCIATED PRESS.
London, Aug. 10.-Greater efforts
by the allies to force the Dardanelles
and thus. succor the Russians, hard
pressed by the Austro- Germans, and
simultaneously influence the Balkans.
and Zeppelin raid on England in
which fourteen were killed and four
teen wounded, are the features of to-
nights war news. For some time
news from the Dardanelles has been
cheerful to the British public, which
has been told that hope is brighter
for successful issue.
The renewed attempt against the
Turkish positions appears to have
been a concerted one. Attacks at
the tip of the peninsula, and along
the Krithia road, gained the British
two hundred yards on front of three
hundred yards, and at Sari BAR an
important crest has been occupied,
according to the official announcement
which adds that elsewhere "a fresh
landing had been effected and con-
siderable progress made. The Brit
ish claim to have captured six hun
dred and thirty prisoners as well as
guns and material at the place where
| they landed.
Constantinople admits the landing
and says it was near Ar Burnu, and
also says that another British at
tempt to land near Karachali was re-
pulsed. It is believed here the latter
attempt was to mislead the Turks.
INFLUENCE BALKANS.
It is believed here the allies sue
cess in the Dardanelles would bring
the Balkans definitely over to their
side and that it will be the only way
the allies can render immediate aid
to Russia. Italy is believed to be
preparing to take hand in the Oar
danelles operations.
The Germans lost Zeppelin in the
raids over England Monday night and
this morning. 1t was seriously dam
aged by gun fire and fell into the sea
near Ostend, Belgium. The Germans
lowed it in, but the British airmen
destroyed it. It is believed four or
five airships were in the raid. A dis
patch from Holland today said that
five more airships had passed over
enroute toward England. So another
raid is expected.

the note. learns with regret that the
objections made by it against the
submission of the case to a prize
court" have not been accepted by the
German government Il also regrets.
the note sets forth. that the German
reasons for submitting the case to a
prize court have failed to remove
the American objections to that
court A further exchange Of views
along these lines. it is stated, would
doubtless be Improbable" and the
German suggestion of another meth
cd Of settlement is welcomed.
Concerning the amount of indemnity
to be paid the United States, the note
expresses a desire that the amount
should be settled "by diplomatic nego-
tiations.' and 1t thoroughly agrees
to the plan submitting the indemnity
question to board of experts.
The American government. how
ever. would agree to such a plan only
on the condition that its legal conten-
tions be not prejudiced and in this
course it follows the lead of the Ger
man government. which has promised
to agree to the expert board plan,
only on similar conditions that the
payment of indemnity thereby would
not constitute an admission" that
American treaty rights had been vio-
lated. but would be regarded by the
German government merely as fulfill
ing duty or policy founded on ex-
listing treaty obligations.
The State Department. from the
language of its reply. expects the
German government TO give some ex-
preston of its plans for naval war
fare, pending the settlement of the
controversy. according to the virtual
query contained in the American re-
ply. The next communication from
Berlin on the Frye case is expected to
be definite in character and probably
will be answered within a short time.
It is probable that the matter Of
naval warfare ad interim, will be
stated by Berlin.
