resist visit and search, the German government, it is now understood, has taken the position that there was no intention to sacrifice non-combatants, the view of the German commander being that the vessel would be diff ffcult and slow to sink and that there would be ample opportunity to re- move passengers to a place of safety.
 The United States said in its first note that reparation would be sought for the sacrifice of Americans on the Lusitania, but Germany has denied h- ability for the occurrence.
 Berlin Influenced by Bryan's Views.
 In some official quarters there is still hope that the refusal of tho American ambassador to discuss con- sessions may convince the German officials of the earnestness of the United States and bring about mod ificatior. There are intimations from Berlin, however, that officials there do not believe the American govern ment will insist on sthe position it took in it's last note and that public opinion n the United States favored compromising the issue. Some high officials in Berlin, it is said, are of the opinion in the United States favored United States on the question of sep arating passenger and contrabnad traffic supports MT. Bryans view as expressed since his resignation. This and other phases of the question gave the situation tonight an atmosphere of doubt and uncertainty which it has not had since the indications sever al days ago that factors were at work in Berlin for a favorable settlement of the controversy.

NOTE IS READY
Expected to be Forwarded Within
 Next 24 Hours

Berlin, via London, July 9-The fact that the American government will not enter into preliminary ne- gtiations respecting the forthcoming German note was communicated today to Dr. Alfred Zimmerman the German Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, by James W. Gerard the American ambassador. The note, therefore will go forward to Washington in approx imately the same form in which it was drafted. This draft has had the approval of the German emperor
 The general tenor and motive of the government behind these proposals may be communicated confidentially to sthe leading representatives of the press tomorrow, but it is understood that the publication of the text in Ber- lin will be deferred until the afternoon of the day on which 1t is presented at Washington.
 The outlines of this draft were sub mitted to Ambassador Gerard and by him forwarded to the state depart ment, in the expectation by German officials that the American govern ment would suggest any changes that might be deemed advisable.
 Although, according to some un- official despatches from Washington the note is considered ''unsatisfact- ory," it is believed here that it is far less so than when the exchange be- gan, and 1t is hoped that it will lay the basis for continuing the negotia- tions.

Vienna, via London, July s, 9.25 p. m.-The war office has issued the fol- lowing official statement:
 Tn Russian Poland. east of the Vis- tula, the battle is proceeding. Numer- ous severe Russian attacks have been bloodily repulsed. Before counter attacks of superior Russian forces, brought up for the protection of Lubin, our troops were withdrawn from both sides of the road to the heights north of Krasnik. West of the Vistula, some Russian advanced positions have been stormed. On the River Bug and in East Galicia the general situation is unchanged. Hostile attacks on the lower Zlota Lipa have been repulsed.
 'Tn the Italian theatre of war, in the Gorizia region, the enemy yesterday made several attacks, all of which were repulsed. In the Middle Isonzo and Krn districts quiet prevailed. On the Carinthian and Tyrolean frontier there were artillery engagements only.
 "On the heights east of Trebinje in the southeastern theatre of war, fight ing against the Montenegrins was re- newed on the night of July 6-7. As counter-attacks on July failed, the enemy attempted an attack during the night, which completely collapsed be- fore our artillery fire. Now everything is quiet there.

AUSTRIAN SUBMARINE
 GETS ITALIAN CRUISER.
Torpedo Does the Work in Narrow
 Waters of the Adriatie.

London, July 8. 10.35 D. m. - The Italian navy has suffered its first se- rious loss, an Austrian submarine having successfully torpedoed the cruiser Amalf in the narrow waters of the Adriatic. Most of the crew were saved.
 This is the second allied warship to fall a victim to an Austrian under water craft. the French cruiser Leon Gambetta- having earlier in the war, been caught in the Ionian sea. It is realized that the loss of the Italian warship is only one of the incidents which must be expected where fleets keep to the sea, block ading enemy ports or protecting com merce. As an offset it is claimed that French warship, has sunk a German submarine in the channel while the British admiralty announc- ed tonight that it was British sub marine which torpedoed a German warship in the Baltic recently, al- though no details are added to the brief statement made in the Russian official communication the day after the attack took place.
 Rushing Submarine Construction.
 All the belligerent powers are rap- idly building submarines and it is re- ported that Austria has nine at PoIa alone. Thus the Italian ships will run serious risks in moving about in the water of the Adriatic, which are well suited to these craft

Complete Review
 of ThaW's Life
IN MENTALITY TEST EVERY
 EVENT BROUGHT UP
SEVEN HOURS ON STAND
Prisoner Irritatsd When Questioned About Whipping Young Women Argues With His cross-examiner- Was Ready to Continue in Nioht Session.

New York, July S.-The jury which is to pass on the sanity of Harry K. Thaw had an opportunity to study him for seven hours today under the cross examination of attorneys for the state who are trying to prove that he is suf- sent back to Matteawan insane asy- lum.
 Every Incident Before Him.
 Every incident of his Iife-from his schooldays to his marriage to Evelyn Nesbit, from the staying of Stanford White to his trials for murder and his life at Matteawan-was thrust before him in an effort to let the jury observe his mental attitude.
 Intonation Peculiar.
 For the greater part of the ordeal Thaw seemed self-contained, but at times he became palpably nervous and on one occasion showed signs of anger. He was disposed to answer questions at length and often made somewhat rambling, hesitating legal arguments which Deputy Attorney General Cook, his principal cross examiner, made TO effort to stop. At other. times he an- swered in brief, concise sentences, but often with a peculiar enunciation which it was difficult to understand
 Thaw said he was ready to go on for suggested night session when ad- journment was taken, but his counsel objected. As he stepped down from the stand a dozen spectators rushed forward to congratulate him on the showing he had made.
 Denies He Whipped Women.
 His exhibition of irritation came when MT. Cook asked him to tell what Evelyn Nesbit had said to him on the subject of his whipping young women. Saying that he could not remember without reference to the record of his first trial, he was told that it was not available.
 Why not?" he snapped "dr Jerome always had it."
 MT. Cook repeated the question, and Thaw, leaning forward in his seat, said excitedly:
 You would not want me to answer that question:"
 But do,p persisted the attorney.
 'fWell. you shouldn't" retorted Thaw. Tt is not of a de1usfonal nature. It's perfect nonsense. You will not advance your case. If were you, I wouldn't ask any more about that story"
 Thaw subsequently, denied that he had ever whipped young women and denied, too, the truth of several other incidents testified to by other witnesses to prove he was not mentally normal.
