Russian southeastern armies from
those operating around Lemberg.
Halicz. north of Stanislau, was the
last Russian foothold on the south bank
OF the Dniester. For almost a fort.
night tNe Russians had held their
ground. despite violent and continuous
assaults by great masses of Austro-
German troops. Driven from every
other position they held on this bank.
the Russians retained their grin on

They retreated across the river in
some disorder. losing more than 5000
prisoners. On the other side of the

THINKS GERMAN REPLY
WILL Be SATISFACTORY
Ambassador Gerard Predicts Nature
of Answer to Note Concern
ing Lusitania.
REGARDED AS SIGNIFICANT
Atmosphere in Berlin Is Described
as Favorable, Following Visit of
Meyer Gerhard, Who Impresses His
Government With Desires Of U. 8.

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-ravorable
reply from Germany to the last Ameri-
can note concerning submarine war
fare and the sinking of the Lusitania,
was predicted in an official dispatch from
Ambassador Gerard to-day. The State
Department transmitted the communi-
cation to President Wilson at Cor
nish. N. H.
The ambassador did not attempt to
outline the forthcoming German note,
but described the atmosphere in Berlin
official quarters as favorable to a salts
factory reply. He referred to the VISIT
of DR.. Anton Meyer C Gerhard, the ennis
sary of Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, pointing out that the
ambassadors information apparently
had impressed the German government
with the idea that the United States
did not want war with Germany, but
desired n satisfactory reply to her
original demands.
The fact that Amba ssador Gerard
TOOK occasion to predict informally the
nature of the reply was regarded as
significant in official quarters here,
where 1t was pointed out that the am
bassador's forecasts in the past had
though II was not generally known, he
gave Washington to understand what
would be contained in the last German
note. and the text bore out his pre-
diction.
TO MAKE 40 CONCESSIONS
on USE OF SUBMARINES
Ambassador Gerard understands the
German official purpose to be TO make
no concessions which will affect the
use Of the submarines as a means of
warning on the commerce of Great
Britain, but to propose some way by
which American lives and legitimate g
interests Will be safeguarded
Officials here have no inkling as to
the methods BY which this object is to
be attained. but from previous dis
patches it is assumed an arrangement
will be suggested whereby German sub
marines would cease attacks on ships
or any nationality primarily used for
passenger travel, while continuing to
wage vigorous warfare on enemy ships
devoted chiefly to the transportation
of contraband. 1t is not known
whether it is proposed to give pas
sengcr ships complete immunity, or
whether assurances will be asked that
III signaled by submarine for visit
and search, they will offer no resist
ance.
NO intimation has come to the State
department as to when the German
note Will reach here, but it is believed
the communication will be completed
within ten days

LONDON. June 2s-Berlin reports
the fall Of the Galician town OF Hnlicz.
and says the Austro-Germans have
crossed the Dniestcr River which
means that the ive-days' desperate
rear-guard action by the Russians has
ended in their retirement However,
the stubborn resistance of this flank
OF the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas
undoubtedly has enabled him to reform
his lines along the Rivers Bug and
Stry without interference
The River San now takes the place
Of the Dniester as the scene of a.
sanguinary battle In the Russian effort
TO prevent the investment of Warsaw.
PetroErad admits the retirement OF
the Russians to the River GniIa Lima.

and falls into the Dniester at Halicz.
but military experts do not expect
heavy lighting along that river They
express the opinion that the next Sc
rious battle probably will occur along
the zlota Lipa River which runs par
allel to the Gnila Lipa, further east
ward. where the Russians would benefit
by the railroad with which the Tarnop
line connects. These operations and
plans. according to military men. con-
firm the theory that the Dniester forces
merely were covering for the northern
army.
