Outside American Protection

VIZ ASHINGTON, July H.
wv Full details will be awaited
by the administration before the
government takes any attitude,
save one of inquiry, toward the
sinking of the American steamer
Leelanaw, yesterday, in British
water by a German submarine.
The status of the vessel is uncer-
tain and until it has been deter
mined, no judgment will be
passed.
President Wilson at Cornish
has asked to be promptly ac-
guainted with any information
that comes to hand, but other
wise is silent.
1t is known that the Leelanaw
was in the service of the Allies,
but in what capacity and on what
errand remains to be determined,
The best informed view seems to
be that the vessel in entering
the trade she did, had put herself
outside the scope of American
protection, even though flying
the American flag.

T ONDoN POSSESSES
Il LITTLE INFORMATION

(Associated Press by p. G. Cable)
LONDON, July 27.-Little in
formation on the sinking of the
American steamer Leelanaw yes
terday by German submarine is
available, as yet, but it is clear
that the vessel was not torpedoed
without warning.
The German commander Or
dered the ship to stop and gave
the crew time to take to the
boats, and, even in some cases, to
collect some of their personal eff
fects. Presumably the Leelanaw
was flying the American flag,
which must have been clearly
visible to the submarine COM
mander, since his craft lay on the
surface when he gave orders to
the vessels crew; but whether
he sent an officer aboard to
examine her papers, and thus be-
came acquainted with her status,
is not known.
The British London news
papers in printing accounts of
the incident use suggestive head
lines, in some cases employing
the phraseology of the latest
American note - "unfriendly
act"
The Leelanaw left New York,
May II, with a cargo of cotton
for Archangel, took on flax there
and was bound for Belfast, Ire
land, when sunk in the North Sea
off the coast OF Scotland.
The British steamship Grange
wood, from Archangel for Havre,
and the Norwegian steamship
Fimreite were also sunk yester-
day in the North Sea off Scot
land. Both crews were rescued.

II ONDON, July N.-Warsaw
IL is still holding out, but the
progress of the German enyelop-.
ing movement has been such
that the belief now is general
here that its loss is only mat
ter of time. .,s.Ea, g.
Since the fourteenth instant, IT is
announced at Frankfort that the
Germanic Allies have captured
l5, ,250 Russian prisoners, forty
one cannon, l4l machine guns and
quantities of supplies. ~. Z.
Petrograd is more optimistic
and predicts that the climax of
the struggle for the retention OF
Poland-for the abandonment of
Warsaw, means the abandon
ment of virtually all the prov
ince of which it is the capital
will not be reached for fort
| night, when it is expected that
1.-THE German and Austrian COM
smanders will make simultaneous
tRfusts for the city in the rear
from both the north and the
south. The development Of this
movement has been visible for
some time, but it is not thought
in Petrograd that it, will develop
its full force for another couple
of weeks. ~. 1.%3E,.
Clean Sweep In War Office
A clean sweep has been made in
the Russian war Office of Ill the
department chiefs responsible for
the shortage in ammunition, due
to which the Russian offensive
collapsed, and the nation is now
more confident that their terrible
miscalculations will not be re-
peated. The country is putting
forth its full force to repair them.
In the Baltic province of Cour-
land, the Germans, instead of driv-
ing on for Riga, which was thought
to have been their objective, have
turned southwark through Kovno,
evidently with the intention of cut
ting the main railroads to Petro-
grad, far in the rear of Warsaw.
Russia is offering but little opposi-
ton to their progress and they are
, making fair headway.
, New Army For Austria
Austria is preparing to put new
7 army in the field this fall, of be-
, tween 100000 and 100000, but it
will be her last. All men between
r the ages of forty-three and fifty
have been summoned to join the
. colors by October, draining the
&. country of the last of the land
tStrum.
Besides standing off the Italians,
Austria is obliged to keep an eye
on Serbia, which is now prepared
to make a fresh offensive movement
from the south. Dispatches from
J Serbian headquarters, report that
the new army is fully equipped
that the frontier is being carefully
latrolIed with French aeroplanes
/. and that Belgrade is defended by
y batteries of Serbian, British, French
II and Russian artillery.
