ers. The protests on the so-called
blockade have been allowed to lapse, as
have those against the contraband lists.
The mails question, as the Admins
tration views it, is important because
it affects many individual Americans,
interrupting their business, delaying
their shipments, sometimes destroying
papers that cannot be replaced, and
often confiscating money orders and
drafts. Even when no financial loss
has been involved petty irritations and
annoyances have been caused 10 Ameri-
can citizens by the thousands. The
complaints to the State Department are
so vigorous and so numerous that they
cannot pass UNDECIDED.
In the case of the blockade, while the
individual cases are generally more
serious, the Administration has several
reasons for not pressing its complaints.
1t is sure that no amount of protesting
could induce Great Britain to permit
a single shipload of goods to reach
Germany, while American shippers who
are denied the German market have
more than made it up in shipments to
allied and neutral countries. Few cases
of actual losses due to the war are re-
ported, against hundreds of cases in
which American shippers have greatly
increased their business.
Such protests as are made, therefore,
will stand as the record of this gov
ernment's case, which will be argued
in court after the war.

U. S. FISHERMEN SEIZED;
BRITAIN DELAYS REPLY
Skinner Asks Why Vessels Were
Taken i'm Iceland Waters.

London, Aug. 24.-Inquiries are be-
ing made of the British government by
Robert p Skinner the American Con-
sui General, as TO the cause Of the
seizure of the American fishing schoon-
ers Maxine Elliott and Lizzie Griffin.
They were fishing off the coast Of Ire
land and were taken into Lerwick,
Shetland Islands, by British patrol
boat.
No reply to the inquiries has as yet
been received. The belief is expressed
that the schooners are the victims of
the general policy which Great Britain
is apparently adopting to induce neu-
trail fishermen to sell their catches to
the British rather than to persons
through whom they might reach Ger
many. Already more than $50 Dutch
and Scandinavian fishing craft have
been seized.
The number of American boats fish
ing off Iceland is not believed to be
great. Consequently, it is felt here
that the two schooners may have been
seized in a general raid on fishing
craft

Days Official Reports
on SOmme Offensive

London, Aug. 24.-To-night's off,
cial statement says:
South of Thiepval this afternoon we
made a further advance of 800 yards,
capturing an enemy trench 400 yards
in length Many prisoners are being
taken in this sector. Yesterday sixty
two. including two officers, were passed
back. These are in addition to 1914
already reported. To-day a further
number was taken, the exact number
not yet ascertained.
A hostile bombing attack against our
new trenches north of BazentinLe-
Petit was easily repulsed last night.
There has been considerable hostile
Smelling this evening along our front,
mainly replying to our bombardment.
An earlier announcement read:
Last night the enemy made siren
uous efforts to regain his lost ground
between the Guillemont station and
quarry. After a severe bombardment,
which began at 8:45 o'clock, he
launched a strong infantry attack
which was pressed with such determin-
alton that it reached our parspets at
places.
After a short struggle the attack was
repulsed completely everywhere with
heavy losses TO the enemy.
After this failure the enemy deliv-
cred a further intense bombardment at
1880 o'clock this morning but no other
infantry assault materialized.
Near Hohenzollern redoubt the
enemy shelled our lines heavily and at
tempted a raid which failed completely.
In no case did he succeed in reaching
our lines.
In a raid which we carried out north
west Of La Bassee we successfully en-
tered the enemy's trenches.

Washington, Aug. 24.-New demands
on Great Britain for an answer to the
American protests against mail seiz-
ures will be made this week. The State
DEPARTMENT is flooded with complaints
from shippers and correspondents, who
s.lege serious losses as a result OF
Great Britain's censorship.
The last American protest to Great
Britain and France was sent on May
e. and since then the United States
has repeatedly asked that the answer
be expedited. 1t is said to be in prepa-
ration.
In the mean time the Allied govern
ments have issued statements announc-
ing notifications in the censorship, in
tended TO relieve American shippers
These, however, have made little i'm
preston on the United States govern
ment. The Administration holds that
principle is involved, and that mere
changes in the application of illegal
measures ars net enough.

This question is regarded by the Ad-
Einistration as the most serious of all

RUSSIANS RENEW
DRIVE IN ARMENIA
Grand Duke Takes Back
Mush and Captures 1900
Turk Prisoners.

London, Aug. 24.-Advancing along
the Euphrates toward Diarbekr, the
Russians have reoccupied Mush, west
of Lake Van. In the battles that pre-
coded the capture of the town the
Cars troops took 1900 prisoners.
This new move of Grand Duke
Nicholas in Armenia has put increased
pressure on the Turk, who seized the
opportunity when the Russian drive
slackened to send troops to the east
front and to the Balkans. The fresh
threat and the possibility of renewal
of the offensive west of Erzingan are
likely TO force the Sultan's generals
to recall men to the Armenian front.
Russians Enter Mush.
"Our troops, pressing the enemy in
the region to the west Of Lake Van,
entered Mush. where they took some
prisoners" says the Russian official
statement tonight.
Supplementary information re-
ceived from army headquarters says
that in the battle fought in the region
of Rachta, where we surrounded por-
tions of the Fourth Turkish Division,
we took prisoner the whole Of the
Eleventh Turkish Regiment, consisting
of its commander, fifty-six officers and
1000 OF the rank and file, as well as
nearly all of the remnants Of the
Tenth Turkish Regiment, consisting of
two staff officers, several other officers
and $50 Askaris. We also captured in
this battle three cannon and three ma
chine guns"
Gains West Of Lake Van.
An earlier statement said:
"Our offensive west of Lake Van is
developing. Northeast of the town Of
Mush we occupied the region of the
village of Arirdovank. In the direc-
ton Of Mosul our troops defeated the
Fourth Tul kish Division in the region
OF the village Of Rachta. Two regi-
mcnts were surrounded and taken
prisoners"

Paris, Aug. 24.-The Italians arc

AT the head Of the Fossernica Val

ment adds. "By violent counter at

this position, but was at last driven
off by our troops.
AT the head Of the Cha Valley de-
tachments Of our mountain troops car
ried enemy trenches along the slopes
Of Monte Cauriol and Gina di Cupola."
The Austrian report says:
"After violent Smelling Of positions In
the Fassa Alps, and on the heights on
both sides Of the Travignolo Valley, the
Italians made several attacks in front
of Coltorondo and Gina di Cece. They
were repulsed."

APPONYI ATTACKS
MAGYAR POLICIES
Ends Truce with Hunga-
rian Government-TisZa
Regretful.

Amsterdam, Aug. 24.-Count Albert
Apponyi, leader of the Independent
party; Count julius Andrassy, leader
of the Constitutionalsts, and Stephen
Rakovsky have declared they will
resume their freedom of criticising the
Hungarian government in regard to
foreign affairs. They took this stand
during a debate in the Chamber OF
Deputies on the Hungarian foreign
policy, says a dispatch from Budapest
They also announced their with
drawal from the arrangement whereby
they undertook to inquire into ques'
tons of foreign policy as representa-
tives of their parties, and in return
received confidential government in
formation 10 keep them in touch with
foreign affair:.
Count Apponyi, in making his dec
laration. said that if the Entente AL,
lies concluded from it that the mora
unity of the Hungarian nation mac
been shaken their illusion could only
cause amusement. The Opposition, nj
said, viewed the military situation with
entire confidence and readily acqui,
esced in the appointment of fielc
Marshal Won Hindenburg. Count An,
Grassy made a similar declaration anc
declared that questions of Importance
relating to foreign affairs should b'
dealt with publicly in Parliament.
Premier Tisza said he regretted the
withdrawal of the Opposition leader:
from the arrangement and believed
some erroneous conception had lee
them to take the step. :, :.
The Parliamentary situation. the dis
patch adds, has made it impossible fol
delegations of two parties to meet. The
Hungarian Parliament now, however
exercises in respect to the foreign pol
icy of the government all the consti,
tutional functions regularly exercised
by the delegations OF the parties.

Berlin Believes Athens
Sympathizes with

Berlin, Aug. Achievement circles
here, though none too optimistic, view
the Rumanian situation calmly, taking
the attitude that 1t is Rumania's next
move. The feeling is that the Central
Powers have done everything possible
to meet Rumania's views, and that Ru-
mania, in persisting in the course de-
sired by the Entente and her own ex-
pansionist party, will find the Central
Powers ready, in which event it is to be
expected that every effort will be made
to insure that the new war theatre will
be on Rumanian soil.
Information from Vienna indicates
that the Austro-Hungarian government,
bearing in mind the results Of the ne
gotiations concerning Italy's claims
before that nation entered the war, has
been at no time disposed to offer Ru-
mania similar concessions for fear that
this agar, would be mistaken for a
sign of weakness.
At this moment there is not dis
cernible the slightest effort to per-
suade Rumania to take any other cours.
than one due to her own initiative.
The latest dispatches from Bucharest
indicate a further cooling off of the
war fever.

circles in Berlin regarding the opera

Grafton is directed, not against the
sovereignty and territorial rights Of
Greece, but rather to defend them
against General Sarrail, who was con-
tinuously violating these territorial
rights by making Greek soil base for
military operations. Virtually every
act in connection with the Bulgarian
and German advance leads to the es-
adjustment of the sovereign rights OF
Greece.
Conformation received from Greece
