STAYS READY FOR
A new OFFENSIVE
EMPEROR NICHOLAS HAS PLACED
HIMSELF AT THE HEAD OF
HIS ARMY.

London. - The news that Emperor
Nicholas had placed himself at the
head of his army, which he announced
in a telegram to Raymond Poincare
president of France, and the visit paid
by the French commander4n-chief,
Gen. Joffre, to the Italian army, fore
shadows, it is believed in military cir
Giles here, stirring events in which the
armies Of all the allies will cooperate
1t is declared the Russians already
are nearly, II not quite, holding their
own against the Austrians and Ger
mans, whose advance at most points
has been stopped. In places the Rus
slams are on the offensive.
Since the outbreak of the war Grand
Duke Nicholas. cousin of Emperor
Nicholas. has been in command of the
Russian armies. In this capacity he
has achieved fame and military critics
have rated him as one OF the ablest
generals of the warning nations. AL
though the grand dukes armies have
suffered long series of reverses since
the beginning of the great Austro-
German offensive movement in May,
their leader has been credited with
conspicuous strategic successes dur
ing this period.
The grand dukes main accomplish
ments were the extrication of the bulk
of his forces from the Austro-Germ
enveloping movements In Galicia, and
later in Russian Poland when he
again drew out his armies, this time
from the dangerous Warsaw salient.
The message of Emperor Nicholas
to President Poincaire does not make
1t clear whether Grand Duke Nicholas
has been superseded by the emperor.
During the last few weeks there has
been severe criticism of the conduct
of the war by the Russian authorities,
but cabled dispatches have shown no
criticism of the grand duke
Riga remains the danger point. but
the fact that the Russians continue to
occupy the town after the Germans
have advanced to Dvina. southeast OF
Riga, leads military writer's to con-
clude that the Russians feel reasona-
bly, sure of their ability to defend the
river, and in time to push sufficiently
far westward to relieve the pressure
on their forces on the shores of the
Gulf of Riga.

SAYS ARABIC SUNK
IN SELF-DFFFNSE
SUBMARINE ENGAGED IN De
STROYING FREIGHTER WHEN
ARABIC WAS SIGHTED.

Berlin. - The commander of a Ger.
man submarine, which has returned to
Its base, has reported to the admiral.
ty that he torpedoed ths liner Arabic
in the belief that the Arabics action
indicated she was about to attack the
submarine and that he fired in self-do-
Tense.
The submarine commanders report
says the submarine was engaged in
destroying freighter when the Arabic
was sighted. The submarine then was
on the surface.
The Arabic, the commander declar.
ed, swung around and headed toward
the freighter as if to attack the sub
marine. The commander of the under
sea craft remained in doubt as to this
Arabic's intentions when she changed
her course few points. but still kept
headed in direction bringing her
nearer to the scene.
The commander reports that he con.
tinued to observe the actions of the
liner until he saw the Arabic again
change her course and head directly
for the spot where the submarine lay,
as if she had sighted the undersea
boat
Then the submarine commander, be-
lieving his craft was in danger. he de.
clared, submerged and fired torpedo.

WILSON ASK RECALL
AMBASSADOR DUMBA
CAPT. FRANZ Won PAPEN, MILL.
TARY ATTACHE OF GERMAN
EMBASSY, INVOLVED.
RUMOR OF ANOTHER NOTE
Reply to Arabic Note Will Be Delayed
Until Officials Can Learn Whether
to Expect Anything Further
From Berlin.

Washington. President Wilson'I
request for the recall of the Austrian
ambassador, DR. Constantin Theodor
Dumba. has broadened into a situa.
ton involving Capt Franz Won Papen.
the military attache of the German en-
bassy; Alexander Nuber Won Pereked.
the Austrian consul-general in New
York. and possibly Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador. The
official view is that the ambassador,
although technically involved. is not
so seriously concerned as the military
attache or the consul-general. 1t is
not unlikely that both the latter may
be recalled or dismissed from the
country.
Coupled with Germans disappoint-
ing and unsatisfactory explanation OF
the sinking Of the White Star liner
Arabic. after Count Won Bernstorff had
given assurances that full satisfaction
would be given If it were established
that a German submarine sank the
ship, official Washington views the
friendly relations with the Germanic
powers strained moro toward the
breaking point than ever before.
Hopes that the submarine crisis had
been safely passed and that a break
between Germany and the United
States had been avoided We're displac-
ed by misgivings. Talk of the posi-
bility of breaking diplomatic relations
was heard again, although this time it
involved both the central powers on
the theory that Austria after having
her ambassador virtually dismissed
from the country might stand with her
ally in relations with the United
States
Unofficial reports that a second noto
had been started from the Berlin for
eign Office for Washington furnished
about the only basis Of optimism in
official quarters, so far as the subma-
rine controversy was concerned. There
was no official intimation that another
communication was on the way, but
the American reply to the Arabic note
probably will be delayed until officials
can learn whether to expect anything
additional from Berlin
1t may be stated, however, that il
nothing comes in the nature Of modi-
fication of Germany's explanation, an
American note will reach Berlin prob
ably early next week, which will set
forth the views of the United States
in a brief and unmistakable manner
