VERA CRUZ IS

Carranza Insists on Countries
Having Diplomats There.
SCHEMING FOR RECOGNITION
Not Likely To Be Recognized, As
Villa is Regarded In Army Circles
As Having the Better OF the
Military Situation.

Washington.-Late diplomatic ad.
wees reaching Washington from Mex,
leo said General Carranza had given
notice that he would not receive com.
munlcations from nor transact bust.
ness with foreign governments which
nave no diplomatic agents accredited
TO his government at Vera Cruz.
Enforcement of such an order nrac-
tically would cut off the Carranza gov
ernment from further communication
with all the foreign nations which
have ministers resident in Mexico
City. 1t would not, according to the
information received, sever his in.
formal relations with the United
States government, as Carranza is un-
derstood to regard Consul Silliman. at
Vera Cruz, as properly accredited
agent.
General Carranza's Washington
agents said they had no advices of any
such action on the part of their leader.
nor had they heard that it was in con-
temptation. The report created inter
est and surprise in official and diplo-
matte circles, particularly in view of
the general understanding that foreign
governments were awaiting action by
the United States toward Mexico be-
fore recognizing any government in
the republic. 1t was announced recent
ly that Great Britain had definitely de-
termined to extend no recognition
until a government had been rec.
ognized by the United States.
Although present conditions in Mex
leo are being given very serious con-
sideration by the Washington govern
ment, 1t is known that no decisive
action is in contemplation by the ad-
in the immediate future
despite the fact that the President and
of State have cleared the
foreign relations desk for the time be-
ing with the dispatch of the third note
to Germany regarding submarine war

WILSON TO ACT U. S. DEFENSE.
White House Announcement Tells OF
Presidents Stand.

Washington.-In view of the sharp
warning sent by this Government to
Germany that the United States is
prepared "at any cost to defend the
rights of its citizens on the high seas. "
the greatest significance was attached
to a formal announcement by the
White House confirming the report
that the President has called on Sec
retary of War Garrison and Secretary
of the Navy Daniels for full reports
on the strength of the country's mill
tary resources.
Coming Immediately after the publi-
cation of the latest note to Germany
a note generally regarded in the
nature of an ultimatum-the an
nouncement, it is felt, will have a pro
found effect not only in this country
but in Germany.
1t Is known that, in addition to call
ing upon his War and Navy Depart
ment heads for this information and
arranging for a series of conferences
with them after his return from Cor
nish about August 1. the President
carried with him to New Hampshire
a large portfolio containing data relat.
ing to national defense. During his
stay at the summer capital it is ex-
pected that the President will so
familiarize himself with the whole
subject as to be able take it up in
detail at the coming conferences.

GRIP ON CITY OF
WARSAW TIGHT
AustrO-Germans Make Gains
North Of Polish Capital.
FORCE PASSAGE OF NAREW
Won sueIow Wins Crushing Victory
In CORTLAND - IVanaorod Re-
peIs All Assaults-Ena-
olish Stand Firm.

London. - The Austro German
armies seem unable to force the Rus
SLAMS from the important positions to
the immediate west of Warsaw and
from the line along the Lublin-C -Chelm
Railway, but the German victories in
Northern Poland and north of the Pol
ish capital have frightened their grip
on the city and military critics say
that the abandonment of Warsaw by
the Russians again becomes more
probable.
After weeks of battering, the Ger
man forces for the first time have
crossed the Narew river north of War
saw and now have a considerable
weight of men on the south bank Of
that river between the fortresses Of
Rozan and Pultusk, which a Berlin
official statement describes as having
been "stormed irresistably." The
communication, however, does not
state whether the fortresses capitu-
lated.
The fight in Southern Courtland, &C
cording to German claims, has result
ed in something akin to a crushing
victory such as was familiar in wars
of former years. General Won Buelow's
forces having cut off the Russian re-
treat and delivered a body blow. 1t
is stated that the German cut up the
retiring troops badly, dispensing those
which were not killed, wounded or
captured.
That the Russians are holding the
immediate Warsaw front is plainly
evidenced by a German official state
ment which refers to only minor opera
tions in this area and tells of a COM
paratively Insignificant number Of
prisoners taken. Military critics say
this indicates that there have been no
serious attacks on either side, which
probably means that the Germans are
dug in, waiting reinforcements and
some favorable circumstances, while
the Russians, from their strongholds,
are risking nothing in counter-attacks.
IVangorod Not Invested.
The report Of the investment of
lvangorod is now patiently erroneous,
as the Germans speak of attacks west
of the city, and although claiming that
they hurled the Russians across the
Vistula to the northwest of the city,
do not contend that their forces OBJ.
tanned foothold on the eastern bank.
The Turks again have assailed the
British left on the Gallipoli peninsula.
The attacking party approached the
British trenches with the snap that
they have heretofore shown, but the
Turks withered before the machine
gun fire and the British lost no ground.
Saturday was the anniversary of
Austria's ultimatum to Serbia, which
so soon was followed by the great
war. The Serbian Army has been
heard little of for several months, but
It would cause no surprise if some
thing developed soon along this front
with the Serbian forces.

New York Times.

With courage and with firmness
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing have responded to the hopes
and the deep convictions of the
American people. In the controversy
with Germany it was time that there
be an end of the long parleying in
which our protests and our demands
drew forth only evasions and ire
sponsive counter proposals. The ma.
tion has now spoken in words and
in tone which leaves room for no
further declarations on our part. 1t
rests with Germany to say whether
she desires the continuance of friend.
ly relations between the two govern.
ments and the two peoples.
The words are of serious import. In
diplomatic correspondence they are
not employed save upon grave occa-
sions. They are not to be lightly
uttered or lightly taken.

HAS AN AERIAL
TORPEDO BOAT
U. S. May Adopt Invention of
Admiral Fiske.
NEW TESTS FOR ISHAM SHELL
Rear-Admiral D. N. Taylor Invents
Net To Guard 5attleshlps
Against Submarine
Attacks.

Washington. - The Navy Depart
ment is expected to adopt as a part
OF the equipment of the battleship feet
an aerial torpedo boat, the invention
OF Rear-Admiral Bradley Fiske, who is
now attached to the Navy War Col
lege at Newport.
The aerial boat is designed to carry
torpedo from shore toward an ap-
preaching or invading fleet and dis
charge it practically as would be done
by submarine.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
taken new interest in the Isham
shell. The theory of this shell is that
1t can be exploded outside of a battle
ship with more efficiency for destruc-
tion than that of the largest armor-
piercing shells of the navy. Rear
Admiral Fiske conducted experiments
with this shell some months ago but
1t is understood that Mr.. Isham has
some new features. Rear-Admiral
Fiske and special board will conduct
new tests.
Rear-Admiral D. w Taylor, chief of
the bureau of construction of the NAVY
Department, will report shortly on the
effect Of torpedo fire on battleships. 1t
has been stated erroneously that his
experiments so far showed that tor
pedo attacks could not be successfully
resisted and that the explosion of one
or more torpedoes would destroy a
battleship. Rear-Admiral Taylor is to
report both on his tests of torpedoes
against caissons, representing sections
of battleships, and on the value of his
anti-torpedo net. Many navy officials
believe that the new net discounts
very largely the fercest torpedo at
tack.

1t is in the solemnity of its warn
ing to the German government that
the American note is most impres.
sive. All things else, though impor.
tant in themselves, dwarf into rela.
tive insignificance beside the formal
notice of the government of the
United States that every considera-
ton of friendship impels it to press
very solemnly upon the Imperial
German Government the necessity Of
scrupulous observance of neutral
rights in this critical matter" and
that repetition by the commanders
of German naval vessels of acts in
contravention Of those rights must
be regarded by the Government of
the United States, when they affect
American citizens, as deliberately un.
friendly"

Comment ON NOTE
BY NEWSPAPERS
Leading Papers Regard the Note
as an UItimatum.
ISSUE RESTS WITH GERMANY
New York World Declares That "Even
the Mllitary-mad Autocraey OF 5er-
lin Can Have No Excuse For
MlStakino Meaning.

Below will be found the editorial
comments Of a number of leading
newspapers Of the country on the
Presidents note to Germany:
New York World.
"The United States is no longer
concerned with what Germany says.
1t is concerned only with what Ger
many does.
president Wilson's third note to
the German government in respect to
the issues Of law and humanity raised
by the Lusitania massacre is the final
word Of the United States. The note
is not an ultimatum in form. but II
is an ultimatum in substance. The
imperial government is courteously
but emphatically informed that the
United States intends to maintain its
rights as a neutral on the high seas
without compromise and at any cost
and that repetition by the comman-
ders OF German vessels of acts in
contravention Of those rights must be
regarded by the government Of the
United States as deliberately un.
friendly
The issue now rests with Ger
many; even the military-mad autoc-
racy of Berlin can have no excuse for
mistaking the meaning of these Sc
rious and measured words.
These demands are not excessive.
and in formulating them President
Wilson speaks not only for the
American people, but for civilization
itself. Unless the United States main
tains Its neutral rights without COM
promise and at any COST, there are
no neutral rights left which any bel
ligerent is bound to respect and the
whole world is given over to the ter.
ror of the sword"

WANTS U. S. TO BUY BELGIUM.
Wanamaker Says It Could Be Turned
Over To People.

Philadelphia.-The purchase of Bel
gium from Germany by the United
States and the imposition of high
duties on imports and exports by this
country were among the suggestions
made by John Wanamaker in an ad-
dress here at a meeting at which
prominent business and professional
men formed local branch of the Ma.
tional Security League.
Mr.. Wanamaker, who was later
elected president of the organization,
said it is now the duty of the business
men of this country to do all in their
power to restore normal conditions in
Europe, and proposed that 500, ,O0o,-
900 be loaned without interest to the

The reply of the government to the
latest German note appears to be
final, so far as the American conten-
tions Of law and right are concerned.
If not an ultimatum in form, it is an
ultimatum in fact. The door Of dis
cussion is closed.
There now can be no doubt of the
duty of press and public, and that
is to accept the stand taken by our
government, without cavil or reserva.
tion, and to give the government our
unfinching and unreserved support,
whatever the consequences fate may
have in store for the nation.
