shington.-Secretary Lansing an
nounced the receipt OF a message from
Ambassador Page at London, stating
that the sentenced of jeremiah c.
Lynch, the naturalized American con.

At the British War Office 1t was
learned that telegram had been sent
to Gen. Sir John Maxwell reading:
"If the facts are as stated the execu

On the basis of this message Presi
dent Wilson assured Senator O'Gor

on behalf of Lynch. that Lynch's sen.
tence would be held in allegiance until
Ambassador Page can complete inves.
ment.
II Is believed that the British gov.

for Lynch, the most that the United
States can demand. Government Off.
cials here are convinced that Presi.
dent Wilson's appeal, together with
advices understood TO have been for.
warded by the British Embassy, will
persuade the British government OF
the folly of an arbitrary course in the
matter.
In diplomatic circles friendly to the
Allies the executions in connection
with the Sim Fein disturbances are
believed to be at an end.

Washington.-That the German gov

TO court the friendship and good will
OF the United States was indicated
in a statement transmitted to the
State Department by Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador.
The Ambassador proceeded on in

Office. The action was announced in
this official statement from the Ger

"ln consequence of cases which oc-
Cured of late, the German Ambas-

II was said at the German Embassy
that the instructions were designed to
prevent plots or lawlescness on the
part of German citizens who might
be disposed to engage in such. The
German Government, II was said,
looks with great disfavor upon any
such conduct, and desires that they
shall not engage in any undertaking
in any way outside the law.

AUsTRlANs DEFEAT ITALIANS.

Paris.-Under the withering fire of
Austrian artillery kept up incessant-
ly for seventy.two hours the Italians
have been forced to yield more
ground in the region of Trent.
Rome now officially admits the
evacuation of the Zegnatorta position
in the Lagrina Valley south of the
Terragnola Valley and the upper
Astico, from Monte Maggie to Sag
liodaspio.
At some points General Cadorna's
forces are unofficially reported TO
have been pushed back as much as
five miles.
The withdrawal is said by the Ital-
ians to have been made for stra-
tegic reasons and to prevent loss of
life without compensating advantages.
The new line is pronounced by the
Italian experts to be practically inn
pregnable.
The big Austrian drive is reported
to have as its object the forcing of
Italy TO seek a separate peace.
A counter-offensive started by the
Italians in the Adamello zone was
pushed with great determination and,
in a series OF hand.to-hand infantry
attacks preceded by artillery battles,
the Austrlans were driven back with
the loss of men, material and provi.
sions.

RUSSIANS JOIN
BRITISH ON TIGRIS
Muscovites Achieve Objective
in Asiatic Turkey by I'M
Bold Dash y
FURIOUS BATTLE AT vERDUN

London.-A force of Russian cav
airy has joined the British army on
the Tigris in Mesopotama.
The achievement of one OF the main
objectives in the Muscoyite drive In
Asiatic Turkey came Unexpectedly and
was accomplished by what is describ-
cd as bold and adventurous ride
The dash places the Russians in
cooperation with General Gorringe
on the right bank OF the river in the
region of Kut-el-Amara, where only
recently the British army under Gen
eral Townshend after long siege was
forced to capitulate to the Turks.
Coincident with their arrival comes
a report that the Turks have evacu-
ated Bethaisessa, their advanced posi-
tion on the Tigris, and have lost to
the British their Dujailam redoubt.
The Russians are keeping up their
advance in Mosul.
In the battle for Verdun the Ger
mans captured a French first line
trench and slopes on the west OF
Dead Mans Hill.
The French pressing their attacks
at another point, took two German
trenches on the road from Esnes to
Haucourt.
The opening of the fourth month of
the struggle for the fortress was mark
ed by great increase in the intensity
of the fighting, especially between the
Avocourt Wood and the River Meuse
northwest of the citadel.
Determined efforts of the Germans
TO force their line forward at several
places in the sector were beaten back
with big losses, their mass formation
giving way before the sustained artil-
lery, machine gun and infantry fire.
Berlin reports that 1900 prisoners
and 16 machine guns and s cannon
were taken in the region OF Dead
Mans Hill.
Northeast of the fortress the French
have driven the Germans from the
Houdromont quarries, which had been
strongly organized taking 80 prison
ers and four machine guns.

I: HETTY GREEN &"

Especial to Gateway by United Press
NEW YORK, July T. - Personally
Hetty Green was very eccentric. She
always went to her Office and worked
on her birthday. She thought the
wasting of u whole day on anything
but business was a crime. Her favor
tie odd habit was to boil an onion
every day and carry a piece Of it
around in her pocket, nibbIing it
while she worked. She lid this rcgu-
larry for nearly quarter Of cen
tlry.
Each day-she walked usually to
save carfare-she appeared at her
office in Cehmical National Bank in
New York. There she made the kings
Of finance bow to her. She loaned
them ready cash, of which she always
had plenty, on only the most gilt
edged securities and at the highest
possible rate of interest Of which she
never failed to exact from them the
utmost farthing. In reply to a Chi
cago minister who wrote her that she
would be lost to heaven if she insisted
on her money from a $4,000 mortgage
in his church, she said: "You had bet
ter pray for my soul then, because
I'm going to foreclose within thirty
days" and she did.
Examples of her methods are num-
berless, but one is typical Of them all.
Once a New York banking house that
had served her faithfully for 20 years
and to which at one time her husband
had been indebted for many thousands
of dollars, was threatened with fail
ure. She rushed to the office and de-
manded the $475,OOO she had on de-
post, as well as the millions in Sc
curties that were held for her. She
