named, began suit in the city court in
New York yesterday to recover $1,000

her home with spinal trouble, the trial of
the case was postponed one week.
The suit was filed in September, 1911.

GERMANS MENACING
GALICIAN CAPITAL
Enveloping Movement on Lemberg,
Duplicating That Which Won
Bacl: Przemysl Fortress.

LONDON, June 8. If the Ger
mans have transferred troops from
the east to the west, as reported, they
have held sufficient men on the east
ern front to continue without relaXa-
tion the offensive that has carried them
and the Austrians almost across Ga
licia.
The forces which pinchcd Przemysl
into surrender are battering their way
eastward, and, according to both the
German and Austrian official commuui-
cations, are at one point in the south
east hardly more than 60 miles from
the Russian frontier. The troops which
swept through Stry have continued
further east until they are 80 miles be
yond that town and equally beyond
Lemberg, the position of which appears
perilous.
Further north they are Is miles to
the east of Przemysl so that, rou2 hly
speaking, the encireling movement on
Lemberg is duplicating that at Pre-
,mysl.
The Germans are also on the often.

HURL BACK BOMBS
THROWN BY GERMANS
British Soldier, Trapped in a Shell
Crater, Defieg Efforts to
Dislodge Him.

LONDON, June 8.-The exploit of a
British soldier, who lay in the crater
made by a she'll and hurled back at the
Germans bombs which they tossed into
the excavation to kin him is related in
a despatch from the front, under date
of June +, from the official observer at
tached to the British army, as gwen
cut in London.
After having got into q German
trench and finding he was the only
survivor Of his party, he managed to
crawl deep in a shell crater near py,
the observer SAYS. The Germans knew
where he wus,-brt -Coutd not shoot him,
and We're prevented by our rifle fire
from approaching. They therefore con
tented themselves with lobbing hand
grenades into the crater.
All day long this British soldier re-
manned in the hole within q few yards
Of the enemy, picking up and hurting
back bombs with which he was pelted.
At night he managed to crawl safely
back to our lines

FOOD EXPORTS LARGER.
Europe Also Buys s58,ooo,ooO Worth of
Horses in This Country.

WASHINGTON, June s. = sEDespite
the so-called war orders, says an Of
fetal analysis of foreign trade, issued
by the department of commerce, ''the
exports of manufacture for all kinds,
other than foodstuffs, have been less
than in the similar period before the
war The statement refers to the
foreign trade for the ten months ended
in April, which shows trade balance
of almost $1,000,O0O, 900.
''The normal sales of manufactures
during peace, says the statement,
"were greater than those under exist
ing war conditions. Because of this
fact and the extraordinary shrinkage
of exports of crude materials, it is
found that the net increase in our to-
tai exports has been wholly in food
stuffs.
One of the outstanding features of
the analysis is that more than 5000
900 worth of American horses and al
most $10,000,000 worth of mules have
been fed to the battlefelds. Ten mil
lion dollars worth were sent to Europe
in April alone.
In Europe alone has American for
eign trade increased. European ma
tions took $2S7 100000 more of Ameri
can goods during the ten months than
during the same period the previous
year. North American nations took
1855, 100000 less; South American ma
tions $33, 100000 less; Asiatic nation:
i$8 100000 less. African countries 5000,
f000 less and Oceania countries 1920,
F000 less.
/ Great Britain took $204, 100000
more during the period than in thu
lprevious years period; France, $133,
100000 more; Italy, $94 100000 more
Sweden, $59,700,000 more; Neither
lands, $29,400,000 more, and Norway
i 1928, 600, 900 more.
i Exports to Germany showed a 1920
100000 decrease, Austria Hungary

Final Revision OfPresident's S
Note to Germany is Being
Made Today
HAS BEEN NO DELAY
IN PREPARATION
Work Has Gone Forward as Expedt-
tiously as Is Consistent with Care
fulness- Gulfight and Cushing Cases
Do Not Affect Main Principle.

WASHINGTON, June s. President
Wilson announced today that the note to
Germany was nearly finished and would
60 forward shortly. He did not specify the
day, but said the document would be gone
over in final revision today by the cabi
net.
He explained that there had been no
delay of any kind in the preparation of the
note, that he had brought only a rough
draft of it to the cabinet meeting Friday
and that there had been all sorts of sug-
gestions since the cabinet last met.
The general character of the document
had not been modified and he believed it
had the approval of the entire cabinet.
No one has held up the note, work on it
being as expeditions as was consistent
with carefulness.
He gave no inkling of its contents, be
lieving that the forecasts might set up a
miscon,4,ption abroad of the American
position. The arrival of the note from
| Germany offering to pay for the attack
on the Gulfiight and asking for further
4 information concerning the dropping OF
bombs on the Gushing was referred to by
the President as not unsatisfactory
Those two coses, however, do not affect
the main principles for which the United
States is contending, that Americans or
board merchant ships Of any nationality
shall be transferred to place of safety
before any prize is destroyed

the note Secretary Bryan was not pres

RUSSIA'S MUNITION
HELD UP BY JAPAN
Tok1o Government Suspended war
Supply Shipments Because of the
Dispute with China.

WASHINGTON, June s. - Reports
from various sources have convinced
mllltary experts Of the truth of claims
that recent Russian reverses have been
due in large measure to shortage of
ammunition.
Until the harbor at Archangel was
opened by Ice breakers late in Nav
hussla was without a port through
winch ammunition could reach her
shores. Russian factories are limited
and unimportant, so the only avenue
through which munitions were reaching
the country in quantity was the Trans
Siberian railway.
japanese ammunition factories sun
pied practically all their OUTPUT to the
Russians early in the war, but the dis
agreement between China and japan
over the japanese demands and the
| prospect of war in the Far East caused
Japan TO hold its war supplies in re-
serve temporarily, reducing traffic in
| munitions over the Trans-Siberian
route to the products of American fac
| tories reaching the Far East.
The average time passengers allow
for the trip from Vladivostok to Pet.
| rograd in times of peace is IL davs
1 Only limited portion of the railway
through Siberia is double tracked. con
| sequently freight shipments arc neces
| sarily slow, even when all other traffic
is sidetracked to make way for wal
munitions. Shipments from the United
States must be carried from San Fran
cisco on freight steamers which take al
least a month for the trip to Vladi
Ivostok. 1t is said, too, that there har
been much difficulty in timing Ameri
can shipments so as to keep the Rus
sian forces supplied with shells whel
the supply from Japan failed them.
Well authenticated reports indicat
that artillery pieces and rifles, as wei
as shells and cartridges, were lackin;
among the garrison which lost Pre-
mysl to the Germans. In some case
Russian troops are said to have bee
armed only with crowbars and stee
! rods in lieu of bayoneted rifles for us
!, in hand to-hand conflicts.
After the port of Archangel has bee
! open a few weeks longer military e1
perts believe Russia s problem will b
solved. Preparations are known t
have been made at the great norther
port to handle supplies expeditiousl,
and the railway leading to Distribute
T eenters has tracks and bridges cap;
bic of transporting heavy field piece
without risk.

SUMMARY

Four more vessels, three neutrals,
have been sunk by German submarines
in the waters near the British Isles.
The neutral ships We're all Norwegian
and no loss of life is reported In the
case of the fourth, the Belgian steam
er Menapier, only six Of the 90 on
board were saved.
Gen. Cadorna, italian chief Of staff,
said in report from the front last
night that the Italians were making
methodical progress all along the
frontier, taking possession of impor-
tant positions. Apparently the main
body of the invading forces had not
yet crossed the Isonzo along the line
north of the gulf of Triest, but Gen.
Cadorna states that strong detachments
have entrenched across the Isonzo riv-
ef.
Reports from Vienna say the Austri-
ans have been successful in some minor
engagements with the Italians. Al
though sharp fighting is reported the
Austrians are still postponing the de-
C1SlFc DdJtle,
Official adviees from Petrograd give
few details concerning the situation in
Galicia. 1t is admitted, however. that
the Austro-German forces succeeded in
crossing the Dneister river and appar-
emily the Russians are still falling
back.
Turkish accounts of the recent fight.
ing on the Gallipoi peninsula say that
contrary to the British and French
claims of success the allies have met
with serious reverses. In the fighting
at Seddul Bahr, according to the re
ports, the British were put to rout an6
left the field covered with their dead
The present position of the British i.
described as dangerous.
The principal point of interest OF
the western front is the region a few
miles southwest of Arras where III,
French have instituted new attack.
The official statement from Pari
says that four counter attacks at fiji
Ipoint, made in an effort to recantnr,
lost ground, We're defeated and tha
the French increased their gains 10 M

LITTLE NEWS OF
ITALIAN MOVEMENT
But Vienna Makes Official Admission
of Advance Against Isonzo-Poiti-
cal Crisis in Hungary in Endeavor
TO Form Coalition Cabinet.

LONDON, June s, 1920 p. m-Vir-
tua1ly the entire western line of battle
except those portions held by the Bel
gians and British has been the scene
Of offensive movements initiated by
the French.
In the region Of Arras the French
have extended the area of their attack
while they are pressing all along the
front form an angle on the Aisne and
the Disc in a northerly direction as far
as the British position near LaBassee,
whore the British forces are lying ap-
parently quieseent.
The French has been advancing slow
~ but steadily north of Arras, where
they met resistance from the German
works known asthe labyrinth, part of
which is now in French control.
The French have been gathering pris-
oners.
Desperate German counter attacks
have been made without success and
with terrible losses TO the attackers.
The German official announcement
makes but a brief reference to events
ON the western front.
Rivers figure more or less prominent
ly today in reports from both sides.
On the eastern front the Russians
claim TO have pushed their offensive
across the Pruth, while Petrograd had
admitted the advance Of the Austro-
German forces across the river Dneister
in Galicia.
The river Dubysa changed hands five
times in one day with the Russians
finally in possession.
The Isonzo is the scene of a most
important Italian advance in the Aus
trian territory. There has been little
news with regard to this Italian move
ment other than official admission il
Vienna that the Italians appear to b'
advancing against Isonzo.
Hungary is experiencing a politica
crisis similar to that which has no
vet come to an end in England. Al
thought the opposition leaders hav,
expressed their assent controversial
which antedate the war have thus ia
prevented the formation of coalition
cabinet.
