Austrians Are Said 10 Have
Lost Three Corps in Advance
against Lubiin.
1TALIANs CLAIM ADVANCE
On AusFia-Italian Front In
Their Effords to Invest the
City of Triest.

LONDON, July 12-Comparative
calm exists in the various fighting
areas with the exception of the Aus
tro-Italian front-where the Italians
claim a substantial advance in their
efforts to invest Triest.
Petrograd is elated at the Russian
success over the Austrians, who are
said to have lost one of three corps
which began the advance against
Lublin. The Entente allies are re-
.Hinded, however, that this is only a
local triumph on forty miles of a l.
900 mile front.
Austrian operations against the
Warsaw railroad have been checked,
If not thwarted, which means that
the threatened advance on Warsaw is
a little less dangerous than when the
.Austro-German attack began. des-
patch from Austrian headquarters in
,Ga1icia explains that the apparent
aull IN the Austro-German advance by
inserting that the Teutonic allies fixed
Iemberg as the objective of the pres
emit campaign with the idea of estao-
fishing themselves in strong defen-
sive positions to the northward in or
der to use part of their troops else
where. IT is claimed that this has
been accomplished by establishing
lines along the rivers Bug and Zlota
Iipa and the Krasnik ridge. 1t is
further explained that the Austrians
proceeded beyond Krasnik but en-
countering unexpected opposition re-
tired on their positions originally Sc
aected where they have resisted all
further Russian attacks.

PLANS CHANGED
VIII Not Go to Cornish to Com.
fer with President Wilson
as First Planned.

WASHINGTON, July 12.- The sit
|uation between Germany and the
United States has taken on such
serious and critical character that the
policy of the American government
will require lengthy and deliberate
consideration that 1t may nave the
hrmness that the circumstances re-
Iquire.
This was the statement made to-
day ~ high oficial quarters. Secre-
tary Lansing, after taking several
days to examine the German reply
may not go to Cornish. N. H., after ALI.
to confer with President Wilson. The
original plan, 1t was explained, was
for the president and Mr.. Lansing to
confer and then to have the secretary
of state draft note to be submitted
to the cabinet on the presidents re-
turn to Washington. Now the belief
Is that the president and Mr.. Ian
sing, working Independently. viii pre-
pare memoranda and confer after
their ideas have matured. A DEFINITE
announcement is expected later on
whether Mr.. Lansing will go to Cor
nish.
Count Won Bernstorn has asked Sec
rotary Lansing If he wished TO see him
and the secretary is yunderstood to have
replied that he does after he has care
fully examined the situation. The am
bassador is seeking information on
1.-THE attitude of the American govern
Iment toward the German reply. AfteE
Mr.. Lansing has consulted PresldenEs
Wilson it is not unlikely that sSue
information will be given to the Ger
man. ambassador OF the seriousness
with which the United States govern
Iment regards the crisis.
Secretary. Lansing has begun wotk
on draft of reply to Germany bat
has not given anyone the sfightest
inkling of his Views. Such intimations
however, as have been received from
the White House as we'll as the state
department point to the framing OF
policy which will express even more
than before the views OF
the United States. and the belief Is
growing that the next note may In.
clude some idea of the intentions OF
the American government. IL it de-
mands are not met.
The general comment in executive
quarters today was that the next
American note would define the posi-
ton of the United States even more
clearly SO that Germany's subsequent
attitude would definitely determine
whether diplomatic relations were to
be continued.
