SEE PLOT TO EMBR0ll
THE u. S. AND GERMANY
Count Won Bernstorff Denies Meyer
Gerhard Is kaiser's Spy-Cal's
Charges Unfounded.

Berlin via London, June 19.-Dr
Anton MeyerGerhard, who sailed
from New York June on a mission
TO the German government from Count
Won Bernstorff, reached Berlin on
Wednesday.
He had a protracted conference
with Foreign Minister Won Jagow and
Minister Solf Of the colonial office.
The report that DR.. Meyer-Gerhard
is In reality DR.. Alfred Meyer, chief
of the supply department OF the Ger
man army, was denied authoritatively.
Washington, June 19.-Develop-
ments which promise to make the
case a sensation OF some importance
occurred in connection with the
charges that DR.. Meyer-Gerhard, for
whom the state department obtained
safe passage to Germany, was In re-
atty DR.. Alfred Meyer, chief of the
supply division OF the German army.
The state department received from
the German embassy at Cedarhurst,
l.. l., an official denial Of the charges,
and statement from the German am
bassador that the publication Of the
charges was likely to operate against
settlement to the controversy between
this government and Germany.
In several other instances OF late
where publicity was given to charges
against the German ambassador and
members OF his staff the view OF the
German government, now disclosed
FOR the first time, was that the charges
originated with a detective agency
employed by Germany's enemies.
The state department gave out the
following statement. including the de-
NAL OF the ambassador:
The department OF state has re-
ceived a telegram from the German
counselor, dated June 16, calling at
tention to articles appearing in yes
terday's papers in regard to an al
legged breach OF confidence on the
part Of the ambassador in sending a
secret German gun agent to Berlin In
place OF Doctor Gerhard. the Red
Cross delegate. In reference to these
articles the ambassador states as fol-
lows:
1T Is unnecessary for me to as
sure you that the story circulated by
these articles is untrue from begin
ming to end. 1t contains a personal
attack upon the ambassador and his
delegate, DR.. Meyer-Gerhard, and Is
likely at the same time to nullify the
sincere and earnest efforts OF the
ambassador to bring about an I'M
derstanding between the United States
and Germany in the Lusitania ques-
ton"

GERMANS FLEE METzERAL
French Take Asatlan Town by Assault
and Push Their Line to the

London, June 22.-The French have
carried Metzeral, in Alsace, by assault
and have driven the Germans back
toward Meyerhof to the east in their
drive toward the Rhine, while main
tanning all their gains around Arras
and gaining local successes in isolated
encounters on various other sections
of the front. The Germans admit
evacuating Metzeral, but state 1t was
done merely to avoid further unneces-

reduced to heap of ruins by the
French bombardment. Heavy losses
are admitted by the French in local
encounter on the western edge Of the
Argonne forest, where fierce fighting
has been resumed. Two French COM
panies were wiped out by German as

from his cell and lynch him. The pris-
oners, shouting their demand that
Campbell be turned over to them,
made concerted attack as they were
being marched out of the prison din
ing hall. The guards were prepared
for the outbreak, and drove the con-
victs back.
A blood-stained collar, a broken
thermos bottle, stained pair Of long,
ugly shears-these grewsome bits of
evidence glistened in the light on the
table at the inquest into the tragic
death Of the wife OF Warden Edmund

RAWA-RUSKA is TAKEN
AUSTRO.cERMANS CONTINUE Ap.
VANCE ON LEMBERG.
Capital Of 0alicia 10 Being Bombar ded
by Teutons--Russlans In
Retreat.

London, June 22.-Advance OF the
Austro-German troops to within eight
miles OF Lemberg and the attack OF
the railroad town of Zolkief, eight
miles north Of the Galician capital, Is
announced In Berlin war Office state
ment. While this attack Is going on
at the gates of the city the center
battering the last Of the Russian de-
lenses at a point eleven miles west Of
Lemberg.
This situation leads to the belief
here that the boast of Won Macken-
sen that he would enter the city by
July l will be more than fulfilled, AS
another evidence of the confidence
of the Germans that they will take
the city at once Is the fact reported
that the kaiser has assumed supreme
command Of operations In Galicia-
Their faith is further supported by
the capture Of Rawa-Ruska, thirty
miles northwest Of Lemberg, on the
railroad which leads through Zolkief
to the capital. The Russians are re-
ported falling back all along the Lem
berg-Rawa Ruska line.
Advices received indirectly from
Przemysl even assert that the Ger
mans heavy guns are now throwing
shells into the outskirts Of the city.
The Russians who were routed from
Grodek have fallen back upon Lem
berg, making only a feeble effort to
stop the Germans at the line of
trenches three miles behind the lakes.
The Vienna statement says the Rus
slams have been In general retreat all
along their line since three o'clock
Sunday, having been forced out of
their position along the Werezyca riv-
er a short distance west of Lemberg.
A Petrograd statement admits that
the Germans broke through the Rus
sian lines at Lubaczow, but insists
that they were repulsed. one entire
German regiment more than three
thousand men. having been sabered by
Russian cavalry.
Rome, June ga special to the
Messagero from It's Petrograd CORE
spondent, via Bucharest, states that
the czar informed the Italian ambas-
sador, Signor Carlotti, that, regardless
Of temporary discouragements that
may arise, Russia will fight the Ger
mans until final victory ia achieved.
This statement followed a report that
cnrin fn a
Russians had led to a determination
at Petrograd to conclude a separate
peace with Austria.
