 "We were in trench before Arras. Only a strip of ground about twenty wards wide separated us from the nearest position of the enemy. Cau- tiously I raised my head over the embankment to watch the French trench. To my utter astonishment suddenly heard Frenchman crying: Lieutenant Jung, be careful
 "I needed the warning and jumped back into the ditch. After a little while I tried to advance again, but a second warning struck my ears Now I recognized my friend on the other side. He was young Frencn business man who for some time had worked in the office of my fathers factory to study German methods: When the war broke out he hastened home to fight for his country. HIS friendly warning has undoubtedly saved my life. Under such strange circumstances men, who formerly were friends, meet in this cruel world-war."

Note to Britain Will Contain Sharp Demand for Free
 Seas for U. S. Ships.
BRITAIN CANNOT
 JUSTIFY POSITION
Agreement with Scandinavian Com. tries Confession that "BlOckade" II. legal, and Order in Council Sub.
 terfuge to Transfer Obligation.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The receipt of Great Britain's latest notes or neutral commerce has compelled the state department to revise the note it has had under preparation for some time. and to introduce in it several new points.
 The two most important features will be an exhaustive treatment of Great Britain's enforced embargo OH the Scandinavian countries and Hol- land, and sharp demand that Amer ican goods be permitted to pass with out molestation to neutral ports.
 The reply will say:
 First. that when Great Britain forced Denmark, Holland and the other smaller countries to agree to an embargo, it was a confession that it was the only way to prevent Amer ican goods entering neutral ports going into enemy country.
 Second, that the order in council was an illegal subterfuge which go, even containing contraband of the neutral countries across the At lantic to the United States.
 Third. that this subterfuge was manifest when Great Britain began to seize American ships and cargoes bound from the ports of neutrals.
 Fourth, that the United States as- sefts now for the last time that an American ship and an American car go, even containing contrabnad of war, has a right under all commer- cial laws, to proceed, subject to the seizure of any contraband only, to any neutral port.
 The official who outlined these inn portant new issues said that their promulgation would create sharp and clear-cut issue with Great Britain, and that there would be no way out of such an empasse except by arbitration. because Great Britain had announced her own position as 
 That position, he said, is necessari- ly arbitrary. because it cannot be justified by international law, by the declaration of Paris, by the declara- tion of London, or by any of The Hague conferences.

London. Aug. 5--Thc German flag tonight flies over Warsaw after a year of fighting.
 The final defenses of the city were stormed this morning by Bavarian troops, 3G hours after Prince Leopold had led them against the outer forts.
 The Russian army is in retreat to Brest-Litovsk 120 miles to the east ward. with the Germans hard on it's heels, while other German and Aus trian armies are closing up from north and south in an effort to cut off the retreating corps. r In Germany, the occupation of Warsaw is heralded as the beginning of the end. Although official bulle- tins indicate that the Russians re- treated in good order, fihting only rear guard action at Warsaw when it was seen the city could be held no longer. it is believed the blow suf- fered in Poland will paralyze Russia for months to come.
 Less Than 5000 Prisoners. Announcing the capture of War saw. the official announcement issued at German army headquarters says: "The German armies under General von Scholz and General von Gallwitz advanced toward the road between Lomza, Ostrov and VyszHov and Fought number of violent engage ments. The brave and desperate re- sistance of the Russians on both sides of the road between OstrOv and Ro- gan was without success.
 "Twenty-two Russian officers and 4.S4O soldiers were taken prisoners. The Germans also captured 17 ma chine guns.
 "German cavalry yesterday and the day before defeated in Courland de- tachments of Russian cavalry at points near Geneze, Byrshi and | Oniskszhty.
 "A total of 2,225 Russian prisoners was taken.
 "The situation near and to the north of Ivangorod remains unchang- | ed.
 "The campaign is being continued between the Upper Vistula river and the river Bug; German cavalrymen have entered Vladimir-Wolynsk, on the Bug river.
 ~In the vosges there has been a l new engagement near the Linge4. kopf."
 Pressing Slavs Hard.
 The principal question now is whe- ther Grand Duke Nicholas can save his army He is making for the Brest-Litovsk line of fortresses and l the retreat has been on for more than week. but he has only two railways and the Teutons report great progress on both of the envel- oping wings.
 Even if the Russians do reach their second line, it is said tonight in Berlin, they may find it turned and untenable by an enveloping move- ment which is now proceeding on a new line from vladimir-volynski to Kovno. Germans troops have enter ed the former place. the latter fort ress is being invested, while von Bue- low, pressing ahead in the Courland with strong cavalry forces. is within 25 miles of Dvinsk, on the Vilna-Pet- rograd railway, one of the two re- maining Russian lines to the interior.
