is U-BOAT A WARSHIP?
German Submarines Call on Spain
Creates Complicated Question.

Madrid. June 24.-El Liberal de-
clares that the visit of a German sub
marine to Cartagena two days ago
raised a new point of international
law. Germany has claimed. it says,
that submarines are not subject to ex-
listing rules, having been invented
since they were framed. If this view
is accepted, Ell Liberal contends a sub
marine should not be entitled to the
right of an ordinary warship to enter
a neutral port provided it departs
within twenty-four hours.
The newspaper takes the view that
the submarine was sent to Cartagena
for. the purpose of making a test trip
and that the experiment having sue
ceeded they will be other visits OF this
nature On this account, it contends,
It is indispensable that the Spanish
government make known clearly
whether it considers a submarine en-
titled to the treatment accorded to an
ordinary warship.
In we'll informed quarters it is be-
lieved the submarine brought impor-
tant documents which the German
government did not wish to trust to
the ordinary modes of transportation.
1t is also asserted that the interned
German steamship, Roma, beside
which the submarine drew Up on en-
tering the harbor. pumped a supply of
gasoline into the German submersible.

HALT STEAM ROLL
Germans Pressing Russians
Back Berlin Claims.
Russian Right Wing Sweeps on
Across GaIicia.

Berlin, June 24.-The German
counter attack against the Russians
under General Brusiloff in Volhynia
has now developed over a front of
eighty miles, extending from Kolki on
the Styr river almost to the Galician
frontier.
General Won Linsirgen's forces have
enveloped the Russians, who here had
driven a big bend into the Austro-
German lines in front and on both
flanks, and now, according to all re-
ports reaching here, are slowly but
surely pressing the Russians back all
along the line in the general direction
OF Lutski.
Although considerably reinforced,
Won Linsingen is confronted here by
highly superior numbers. which, how
ever. have been unable to check his
counter attack and start the Russian
steam roller again in the direction OF
Kovel and Vladimir Volynski. The
Russian losses here are described as
enormous. Russian Officers time and
again led their men in desperate but
fruitless charges against the German
lines. The country covered by these
engagements is extremely difficult
impeded by woods and swamps, and
much of the fighting has been at close
quarters. ~
AustTians Fail to Join Forces
Petrograd, June 24.-The right wing
of the Russian army, sweeping through
Bukowina,, has crossed the Galiciar
frontier capturing the important towr
of Kruty.
The Aus-riaas evacuated Kruty, 8
city of about 10000 inhabitants, i'm
mediately after the capture of Visnitz
across the river, by a strong Russian
detachment. 1t was toward Kruty
/ that a part of General Planzer's de.
moralized army fled i'll the retrea
! from Czernowitz, sioping to form F
| junction with the main Austrian army
in Galicia.
More than two-thirds of the Austrian
crown land of Bukowina is now in the
| hands of the Russians. All the agri
cultural sections of the rich province:
! are now behind the Russian lines.
