London, July 26.-The. American
steamship Leelanaw from Archangel
July for Belfast with cargo of flax
was sunk Sunday by German sub
marine off the northwest coast of
Scotland.
All Of the crew we're saved. They
were brought into Kirkwall in their
own boats.
The Leelanaw was torpedoed July
rs.
No details have been received be-
yond a message that the crew had
been landed at Krkwall, Scotland,
from which place they notified the
American consul at Dundee of the
sinking Of the vessel.
An official statement Of the German
government, issued April 18, 1915, set
forth that flax is contraband Of war.
The Leelanaw was commanded by
Captain d. B. Delk. Her crew consist
ed Of seven officers and thirty-two
men, and her owners, the Hardy
Steamship Co.. planned to return the
Leelanaw In ballast to this country.

Germany replied she could not ad-
nit the destruction of the Frye was a
violation of the treaty "On the con-
trary," said Berlin, article 13 express
ly reserves to the party at war the
right to stop the carrying Of contra
band and to detain the contraband; it
follows then that If it cannot be acom-
plished in any other way, the stopping
of the supply may In the extreme
cause, be effected by the destruction OF
the ship carrying it. AS matter OF
course, the obligation of the party at
war to pay compensation to the inter
ested persons of the neutral contract
ing party remains in force whatever be
the manner of stopping the supply
The United States, as late as June

conclusion"

dicated by officials, would be argued
along, the same lines as soon as an Off

Germany's armies In the east

capital, the Teutonic troops, ac-
cording to official Berlin reports,
have crossed the Narew river and
are advancing toward the river
Bug and the railroad running out
of the city to the east. In this
sector the Germans are twenty
five miles from the capital.
South Of Warsaw the Germans
are directing their efforts against
the Russian lines of defense near
Piaseczno, town twelve miles
from the capital, and they already
have taken two positions by
storm.
In south Poland the Germans
are meeting with determined re-
sistance from the Russian troops

road, which Is of great strategic
value in connection with the mill
tary operations further to the
northwest.
A French torpedo boat destroy

Toulon to have destroyed the
Austrian submarine and aeroplane
depot on LAgosta island, one Of

An "Unfriendly Act"
Washington, D. c., July rs The tor
pedoing Of the American steamer Lee
lanaw is regarded by American officials
as an aggravation of the situation be-
tween Germany and the United States.
Although they hesitated today in the
absence Of details, to construe the act
as coming within the warning Of the
last American note, which pointed out
that further violation of international
law affecting American citizens would
be regarded as deliberately unfriend-
ly," the view taken was that Germany,
in effect, had ignored and disregarded
an earlier note sent in connection with
the sinking of the American sailing
ship William P. Frye by the German
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
In that communication the United
States vigorously asserted its position

Of the seas, the Manchester
Guardian says:
This whole passage should be
very carefully noted. 1t means
quite plainly that in President
Wilson's opinion this country
is an offender against the peo-
pie of the freedom of the seas;
we have, in fact, had several
dispatches from President Will
son on this very subject and
these, it Is believed, shortly
will be followed by another,
He declines to discuss alleg-

but he says in effect that the
case might be different IL Ger
many showed sincerity in her
attachment to the principle OF
freedom at sea by abandoning
her submarine campaign, which
is the most serious infractiOn
of that freedom ever known.
Let Germany do that and
America and she may do some
thing together for freedom on
the seas. The whole passage
may we'll occasion some very
serious reflections in this coun-
try"

Violations, Kaiser Will
Try to Be Friendly

Berlin, July 26. There Is every in
dication that considerable time Will
elapse before the German government
makes any attempt to answer the lat.
est American note on the sinking OF
the Lusitania. Should the United
States protest to Great Britain in re-
gard to restrictions placed on shipping,
which 1t is reported here is now being
formulated, be couched in irm tones,
1t is considered possible the German
reply would not be brusque.
In the absence of evidence that the
United States intends to force Great
Britain to abandon the policy Germany
considers illegal, condemnation OF
President Wilson's note is universal.
Hope has not been abandoned, how
ever, that the United States may IN
tend to assail vigorously Great Bri-
aims methods OF controlling the sea.
Until this point becomes clear the Ber-
lin foreign Office probably will mark
time.
