NEW NOTE REPLYING TO OUR
PROTEST OF ORDER IN
COUNCIL PROMISED.
GERMAN WARNING Needed
Wilson's Declaration That U. S. VIII
Contend For Freedom OF Seas
Probably Impressed the Brit
lsh Government.

Washington. Officials of the State
Department believe the reason for
Great Britain's request TO this country
on July q to withhold from publica-
zion her note just received, explaining
her orders in council and her an
nouncement that she is preparing a
more complete communication on the
subject, may be found among the fol-
lowing:
First-Acceptanee by Great Britain
of the indirect warning by this govern
ment in its last note to Germany that
Great Britain also would be held re-
sponslble "at any cost" for disregard
OF the freedom OF the seas and the
rights Of Americans.
Second-Reallzatio that Germany,
In her notes to the United States, has
offered concessions on the acute ques-
lions at issue, making Great Britain's
refusal to give in on any point con-
Bpicuous by contrast. 1t is, therefore,
thought possible that Great Britain
may now be prepared to offer some
concessions. e
Third-Great Britain seeks delay
in the negotiations with the United
States In order to ascertain the atti-
tude Of Germany toward the demands
of this government, and to wait for
the final outcome of the issues be-
tween the United States and Germany.
The view taken by officials Of the
department is that the declaration
of the United States in its note to
Germany that 1t is prepared to con.
tend for the freedom of the seas, from
whatever quarter violated, was prob
ably strong enough to impress Great
Britain. It has been held invariably
by the State Department in the past
that the issues between the United
States and Germany were matters
purely between the two countries. In
fact, In the last note Germany was
cold politely that the affair between
the United States and England was no
concern OF Germany. In the same
note, >however, appeared the language
which has been regarded universally
as being as much of threat to Great
Britain as to Germany.

NATIONAL DEFENSE PLANS
Secretary Daniels VIII Ask Congress
for Four Of Biggest Type Of Dread
nauuhts-Submarlnes Wanted.

Washington, d. Secretary CARR.
son and Secretary Daniels are ready to
announce their respective plans for ma
tional defense. They viii make them
public upon their return to Washing.
ton tomorrow or some day this week.
The present programme Of the ad-
ministration is:
/. To have the secretaries of the
War and Navy Departments state their
cases; announce their opinions as to
the needs of their departments to
bring the army and navy up to date.
2. The president will then go over
the situation with Messrs. Garrison
and Daniels and make suggestions
that he thinks will improve their
plans. 1t is the purpose of the presi-
dent to have an understanding with
the members Of his cabinet as to the
needs of the navy and army and then
start out to get the necessary legisla-
ton.
The general outline of the program
for national defense for the navy is as
follows:
/. The construction Of at least four
superdread-noughts, with probability
that two battle cruisers of the British
Queen Elizabeth type will be asked
2. The construction of an excep-
tionally large number Of destroyers.
The navy, on the basis Of its present
number Of big ships, built and build
ing, was 92 destroyers short of the
complement determined upon by the
general board of four destroyers to
each battleship.
8. The construction of upwards of
100 submarines, furnishing compile
ment Of 30 for each coast.
4. The construction in the aero
nautical base at Pensacola, Fla, of
plant for the construction Of hydro
aeroplanes, capable of turning out at
least three machines a week,or as fast
as officers can be trained to operate
them.
s. Increase In enlistment authorize
lions to bring the enlisted personnel
Immediately up to full strength for all
ships, built and building, which might
be utilized in time of war, and in
crease of virtually $4,000 men.
6. Enlargement of the capacity Of
the naval academy at Annapolis with
a view to overcoming at the earliest
possible moment the existing shortage
of 800 officers.
Z. Authorization for the expendit-
ure of large lump sum at the direc.
tion Of the secretary of the navy, with
a view to taking advantage Of improve
ments and desirable innovations inn
mediately upon their discovery.
5. Legislation giving the board Of
civilian inventors which Secretary
Daniels recently created a status be-
fore the law.
Army plans look to the building up
of an army OF 100000 men, regulars
and militia, within territorial United
States. This long has been the figure
at which army officers placed the
country's needs.

STOPS TEUTONIC ADVANCE
Russia Brings Invaders Advance TO
Halt and Makes Dangerous Fling
Against Won Maekensen.

Londonderry the northern tip OF
the pincers the Austro-Germans have
been trying to close around Warsaw
and the Russian armies in the Polish
salient has moved the last few days.
This point has moved its way across
the Narew river, between the fort
resses of Pultusk and Rozan, and Is
advancing toward the Bug river, which
stands for the greater part Of the way
between 1t and the Warsaw-Vilna rail-
way, its objective.
The other point, which Field Mar.
shall Won Mackensen is directing at
the Chelm-Lublin Railway, has gained
hardly a yard since 1t reached the vii
lage Of Reiovetz, just south OF the
railway.
In stubbornly resisting the German
advance the Russians are making a
continual threat at Won Mackensen's
flank along the Bug river from east Of
Chelm to east of Lemberg Between
Krylow and Sokal their attacks have
been especially severe, compelling the
Germans to send reinforcements to
meet them.
Along the vistula. south and west of
Warsaw, there has been little changes
except for the German occupation Of
positions evacuated by the Russians
when they drew In their line.
While Warsaw is under heavy pres
sure the Austro-Germans have a lot
OF stiff work before them II they are
to capture the Polish capital. After
crossing the Narew they still have the
Broader Bug, lined with fortresses, to
face, while in the south the Russians
have good positions north Of the Lub-
lin-Chelm railway, which might prove
the undoing Of the army that attacked
them.
Many are OF the opinion that the
most dangerous attacks at the mo
ment are those in the provinces Of
Courland. Kovno and Grodno.

London. Most of the allies casual
ties occur in the holding of trenches
after they have been won, says the
British press representative In the
Dardanelles, who describes operations
against the Turks up to July IA,
The dispatch shows that the Turks
continue to oppose obstinately the
allies advance and that slow progress
is being made after desperate strug'
giles and much hand-to-hand fighting
and largely by the aid of lombard
ment with high explosive shells. From
July u to IA the allies gained consid-
cradle ground, according to the nara
tive.
"Any one who has not seen the
ground" says the writer. "can have no
conception OF the obstacles our heroic
infantry must face in gaining even a
few yards Of fresh ground. The Turks
now withdraw their men down COM
municating trenches during lombard
ment Thus our infantry occupy two
or three lines with only small losses.
Parties of men get too far forward
and frequently are lost for hours, while
Il is not uncommon for our men to
gain possession of an advanced trench
while the Turks are still holding sec

"Thus after each advance II takes a
long time.to straighten out and consol-
hate captured position. It is bludg.
