London, July 20.-The Reuter- Am
sterdam correspondent sends the fol-
lowing: According to information
available here, which must, however,
be treated with necessary reserve, two
Americans were shot recently on the
charge of having attempted to take
the German Emperor's life"
Germans have reinforced their
armies on the eastern front and
launched a strong offensive against
the Russians along the Galician bor-
der. Further north the indications
are that the Teutons are making a
valiant effort to overcome the Slav
army near Volhynia and on various
sectors to the Baltic sea.
The French lines are being sub
jected to violent fire from the Ger
mans between Scissors and Rheims.
Near st. Quentin they have delivered
attacks on a front of about half
mile.
The British and Germans are keep
ing up their artillery duels in northern
Belgium. British gains are reported
near Monchy-le-PreuX. The British

Copenhagen.-Dr. Michaelis, the new
imperial German hancellor. in his ad-
dress to the Reichstag, declared his
adhesion to the German submarine
campaign, asserting it to be a lawful
measure justifiably adopted and adapt
ed for shortening the war. DR.. Mich
aelis opened his Reichstag speech
mann-Hollweg, the retiring imperial
chancellor, whose work, he said, his
tory would appreciate.
The chancellor declared that the war
was forced upon unwilling Germany
by the Russian mobilization and that
the submarine war was also forced
upon Germany by Great Britain's il
legal blockade starvation war.
The faint hope that America at the
head of the neutrals, would check
Great Britain's illegality, was vain.
Germany's final attempt to avoid the
extremity by peace offer failed and
the submarine campaign was adopted,
said the chancellor

who had predicted the end Of the war
at a definite time. had done disser-
vice to the fatherland.
Dr. Michaelis, in the course of his
address, said: Bitter criticism has
been directed against highly-deserv-
ing man, who occupied this post be-
fore me. This criticism has been oft
inspired by enmity and hate. l think
1t would have been better If enmity
and hate paused behind closed doors.
when the history of this war lies
open before us we shall all alike COM
pletely appreciate what Dr. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg's chancellorship meant
for the enemy.
Appointed chancellor by the En-
peror, have the honor for the first
time to communicate with your high
house. A great weight has been laid
on my shoulders in most grave time.
Trusting God and German might. l
venture to undertake it and shall now
serve the cause to the utmost of my
power. l beg from you your trusty
cooperation in the spirit which has
been splendidly maintained in this
body during the war"

DANGER OF GAS ENGINES

The increasing number of auto
mobile exhaust asphyxiations has
prompted the bureau of mines at
Washington to issue warning against
operating automobile engines ia
small garages with doors and
windows closed.
In the test conducted said the
warning, tho air in the garage was
rendered decidedly dangerous after
the automobile engine had been run
ming 10 minutes. The gas is carbon
tmonoxide. coIorless, oderless, and
tasteless and is extremely poisonous.
The dangerous symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning come almost
wlthoutw arning, and collapse in
garage generally proves fatal unless
outside aid arrives very soon.'
The chemist conducting the bu-
reau's tests was considerably affected
by the gases.
