London, July II - John Redmond,
leader of the Irish Nationalists, issued
a statement characterzing the sAkech
OF the Marquis OF I.ansdowne IN the
house of lords Tuesday as a declara-

said also the speech was a breach of
faith apparently made with the inten-

a compromise.
81 regard Lord lansdowne's speech
as a gross insult TO Ireland says Mr..
Redmond in his statement. 1T almost
amounts to a declaration of war on
the Irish people and is an announce

IF this speech is taken as repre-
senting the attitude and spirit of the
government toward Ireland there is
an end to all hopes Of a settlement.
The speech seems to me to have been
made with the deliberate object of
wrecking the negotiations for a set.

Heavy fighting already is in prog

may be expected in the persistent and
desperate campaign of the Russian
commander, General Brussiloff, to
reach this important railway junction,
regardless of losses.
The retirement, according TO advices
from Austrian headquarters, is for
strategic purposes and the achieve

Early this week the grand duke re.

recaptured Mamakhatum, nifty miles
west of Erzerum, so that the Turks
have fallen back twenty-five miles
