German Professor in University of Yer
mont Says Only One Man Sailed.

Burlington, June ls.-Dr. Anton II.
Appelmann, professor of German at the
University of Vermont, in a statement
to the Free Press last night, declared
that passage was secured for only one
envoy of Count Won Bernstorff to Ger
many, that only one man sailed, and that
man was DIR. Anton Meyer -Gerhardt. Dr.
Appelmann said also he was sure DIR.
Meyer Gefhardt had left the country be-
cause up TO the time that the envoy
sailed, DIR. Appelmann was in regular
communication with him and since that
time has not heard from him.
DIR. Appelmann's statement follows:

by the Providence Journal and published
in many newspapers that the German
embassy by securing safe passage for
personal envoy of the German ambassa-
dor, had sent ont two men, one by the
name OF DIR. A. Meyer and the other by
the name of DR.. A. Gerhardt. This Is not
true. For one man only passage was Sc.
cured, one man only sailed. and his name
is Dr. Anton Meyer. Gerhardt. That this
is the full and real name OF only one
man | know from my acquaintance with
him and from our correspondence, tat

Former Secretary Offers it
AS Solution of "The
Causeless War"
FAVORS WORLDWIDE
EDUCATIONAL PLAN
Let Peace Sentiment Become
A Coercive Force,
He Adds

Washington, d. c., June 49, Former
Secretary Bryan, in third and con
Guiding section of his statement on 1.-THE
Causeless War; issued to-day, suggests
mediation as the way out. As a pre-.
ventative of the war, Bryan proposes a
universal extension of his investigation
commission peace treaty plan.
In celebrating on the plan for the re-
storation of peace, Bryan urges THAT
neutral nations in advocating peace crys.
talize sentiment in favor of peace into
coercive force and offer mediation Joint
ly or seyerally, that warning nations
join in a treaty to provide for inves-
tgatlon by permanent international
commission OF every dispute that may
arise, and that a worldwide education
al movement to cultivate spirit of
brotherhood among the nations be un-
dertaken as a final task by the peace
Continuing, Bryan says: "When can
peace be restored? Any time now. if
the participants are really weary of this
war and are ready for it to end. If any
nation is not ready, let its ruler state
in clear, distinct and definite terms the
conditions upon which it is willing to
agree to peace. Then, if an agreement
is not reached, the blame for the contin-
uation of the war will be upon those
who make unusual demands"

Austro-Germans Said TO
Have Lost Tens of Thou
sands in Galicia
ON ONE SECTION FROM
100000 to 10000
French Seem to Have Gained
Territory in Northwest
ern France

An assertion is made by the Russian
war Office in review of the recent fight
ing in Galicia that the Austro-German
advance has been made at great cost. In
the two days fighting near Stry, the
Teutonic forces are said to have lost tens
of thousands of men and on one section
of SO miles on the Galician front between
10000 and 100000. Reports from Bei :
lin and Vienna, however, indicate that
the Russians have been pushed back
steadily all along the front. The latest
communication from the Austrian war
office says that the Russians nowhere
have been able to resist their opponents.
Negotiations between the allied powers
and the Balkan states are again under
way. According to information reaching
Berlin from Sofia, Bulgaria demands ter
rtory from Roumania, Greece and Serbia
in return for her participation in the
war with the allies. Berlin dispatches
express doubt whether former Premier
Venizelos of Greece, in case of his re-
turn to power following victory in the
elections. will be Internationally in fa-
yor of going to war. The deadlock on
the Gallipol peninsula and the reported
failure of Bulgaria and Roumania to ac-
cept the latest offers of the allies are
advanced as the reasons for this view.
The heaviest fighting of several weeks
is now in progress on the western front
in consequence of new attacks by the
French and the British. Each side is sus-
tanning severe losses. Although the re-
ports from Berlin and Paris are at vari-
ance, it is evident that the French have
made some gains in the district north of
Arras in northwestern France.
