3fcJkXHWttor 15 7 TREMONT STRJDErTV LONDON, June 11 British observers of the war, forming their opinions on the latest dispatches from Russia, believe that the Austro-German forces threatening Lemberg frem the southeast have been checked In, their advance. Russia, they declare, has delivered a return blow and a hard one. The great masses of German and Austrian troops which have forced a passage of the Dniester River, near Zurawna, have, according to the latest announcement of the Russian War Office, been flung hack with the which was under his command when the Emden was sunk, from Cocos Is. land to safety at Damascus, whence it was not difficult Tor them to reach Con. stantinople.

SMALL ADVANTAGES FOR ALLIES AT GALLIPOLI LONDON.

Wounded are being transferred from Gallipoli by land and are dying in large numbers during the journey. Furthermore, in Constantinople there is a shortage of surgical Instruments.

The city Is also suffering from a lack of flour which is distributed only to Turks, not Christians. Since the appearance of the submarine prices here have risen enormously. On account of the shortage of coal there is no gas and at night Constantinople is In darkness. The entire Bosporus is patrolled by armed motor boats. On the shore of the Black Sea the Russian Fleet destroyed a newly constructed road.

The fire from the ships was directed by signals from Russian aeroplanes. Thus for the moment Lemberg is thought to be safe, for nowhere else along the Galician front have the Teutonic Allies been making progress recently, with the exception, of course, of their southeastern extension into Bukoyina. News was received yesterday that Russian reinforcements were moving south along the Dniester River from Mikolaiow to Rohatyn, but it was hardly expected here that they would achieve such results. i i INNSBRUCK, by Courier to the Swiss Frontier, Geneva and Paris, June 11 Italian forces have captured Ploeken, in Austria, close to the frontier. The possession of this location is important, as it endangers Austrian communications, Ploeken is 15 miles south of the main highway between Laibach and Innsbruck.

An Austrian airship arrived by rail at Liabach yesterday. An Austrian aeroplane has been reported flying high above the Stelvo Pass. As the pass Itself has an altitude of 10,000 feet, this aeroplane probably was between 12,000 and 13,00 feet above the level of the sea. TALIANS ARE ADVANCING THROUGH PREDIL PASS UDINE, Italy, via Geneva and Paris, June 11 Italian forces today are advancing through Predil Pass, on the junction of the Laibach Railway at Tarvis, which lies about six miles on the Austrian side of the Italian border. Trains of Italian wounded soldiers are arriving at Udine.

AUSTRIANS REPORT ITALIANS ARE CHECKED COLOGNE, Ger, via London, iune 11 The correspondent of the Cologne Gazette attached to the Austriafi Army Headquarters in the south says in a dispatch that the first considerable battle of the war with Italy has been fought in the region of the Isonzo River, and that it resulted fa vorably to the Austrians. The Italians attacked Gorizia, Gra-riisca and Monfalcone, supporting their advance with artillery fire from pieces of large and small caliber. The Italian advance, the correspondent says, was checked by the Austrian fire on their flanks. ITALY TO KEEP 1,000,000 TEUTONIC ALLIES BUSY LUGANO, Switzerland, via Paris, June 11 Information has been received here from Italian sources that Italy has made an agreement with her allies as to the extent of her offensive campaign. According to this information, which, however, lacks official confirmation, the Italian Government has undertaken to conduct operations of a character which will compel Austria and Germany to bring up and keep engaged an army of 1,000,000 men.

Italian operations have not been carried to the point necessitating the use by the Central empires of an army of such size, but it is expected the development of the Italian campaign, beginning with the heavy fighting along the Iaonzo River, will compel Italys opponents to reinforce their armies largely. The Immediate Italian objectives are Trent, Trieste and Villach, the provisional capital of Carinthia. TO BE OPENED TOMORROW.

Price, a member of the new first class at the Naval Academy, today told the court of Inquiry which is investigating irregularities in examinations that he knew ox only one man out of the first and second classes who did not have advance information concerning the last annual examination in the department of Modern Languages. This was in the form of copies of sentences and matters that had been emphasized to class.

He had no knowledge that any of the so-called dope that was being generally circulated had been copied from questions in an official examination paper. The combined membership of the first and second classes, Price said, was about 325. It was always the custom to get a little dope just before an examination. Price said. Some of this was in the nature of suggestions given out in classroom by instructors to study certain things that were important.

Not all instructors gave out such suggestions, he said in reply to another question, and a midshipman in a section where such suggestions were not given was at a disadvantage as compared with one in a section pursuing the same course of study who received suggestions. Spanish Instructors 'Statement. That there will be further additions to the list of defendants seems likely. This seemed to be Indicated by the statement yesterday of Arturo Fernandez, an Instructor in the department of modern languages, who testified that I robably 80 percent of the first and second classes had advance information about the examinations. Prof Fernandez also told about circumstances tending to show that attempts had been made to enter the rooms of the department and take papers.

A communication has been received by the court from Sec Daniels, calling attention to the fact that the cruise of the midshipmen practice squadron, having the San Francisco Exposition as its destination, was being postponed by the sessions of the court. He counseled that all officers and midshipmen attached to the ships who were needed be called before the court as speedily as possible. ZEPPELINS SINK TWO BRITISH FISHING SMACKS MAASLUIS, Holland, June 10, via London, June 11 The British fishing smacks Welfare and Laurestina were attacked and sunk by Zeppelins in the North Sea. The crews, which took to their boats, were picked up by a Dutch smack and brought here. SWEDISH STEAMER VICTIM OF GERMAN TORPEDO LONDON, June 11 The Swedish steamer Otago, bound for Hull, was torpedoed and sunk last night.

The captain of the Otago and the crew of 16 were landed today in the Tyne by the Danish steamer Veratyr. They say no warning was given before the Otago was torpedoed. The attack occurred in the North Sea. The Otago, of 979 tons net, was 241 feet long and was built in 1882. She was owned in Solvesborog, Sweden.

CHARLES F. F0WLES BODY FOUND ON IRISH COAST QUEENSTOWN, via London, June 11 Officials of the Cunard Steamship Line today announced that the body of the Lusitania victim which was recovered yesterday on the Irish coast and at first was supposed to be that of A. G. Vanderbilt, proved to be that of Charles F. Fowles of New York city, who was a first-cabin passenger on the Cunard Liner.

The relatives of Mr Fowles have been notified. WARNING TO BERLIN PRESS IS RENEWED BERLIN, via London, June 11 The military commandant of Berlin has issued a renewal of the order prohibiting the publication or communication of military information without a previously granted order. He says the publication of German losses, although based on officiaUfiists, could lay no claim to correctness and in part give greatly exaggerated figures. Publications of this nature are calculated to evoke groundless uneasiness among the people and also occasion incorrect ideas abroad concerning German losses. i The corrfrnandant, therefore, forbids the publication of all such articles.

DANIELS PLEASED WITH BLISS TORPEDO DECISION WASHINGTON, June 11 Sec Daniels today expressed himself as highly gratified over the decision of the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of New York, in the injunction suit brought by the Navy Department against the E. W. Bliss Company, whereby that company was restrained from selling the so-called Bliss-Leavitt torpedo to foreign Powers, and from disclosing the secrets of manufacture to any individual, corporation oiv Government. The opinion of the court. Sec Daniels declared, approves a policy which he had urged upon Congress for a Government torpedo manufactory.

In response ta his recommendation, he said. Congress had appropriated to increase the Government torpedo plant at Newport. Work on the plant is being pushed forward, the secretary added, and toward the latter part of the year the enlarged factory will be in operation." says rumaia7ssuccess DEPENDS ON RAPID ACTION ROME, June 10, via Paris, June 11 The Tribunas Bucharest correspondent sends- the following interview with M.

NEW YORK, June 11 Just a little Ctiddling and coaxing by Robert C. McCormick, deputy assistant district attorney, might have won over his wife no that she would not have pounded him In the back and forced him to sleep the floor, was the opinion of Mirabeau li. Towns, her attorney, in the Supreme Court yesterday. Mr McCormick asserted that he simply had to get some deep, no matter where, lie was campaigning for Gov Whitman.

He testified he had done nothing which could he of great injury to his moral character. Mr Towns asked Mr McCormick if it Would not have been better to remain with his wife than to sleep on the cold Boor.

The witness denied it. Isnt it a fact. continued the attorney. that you were lulled to sleep by the superiferous Let's cut out the poetry, said the opposing attorney. Did you ask your wife to take you back or did you lie and snore? Mr Towns asked.

Mr McOoimiek said he did not ask to be taken back He denied that he had taught hm wife to smoke or had ever used profane language in addressing her. Wasnt Mrs, McCormick's cigarette smoking one of the charms about her that attracted you? Mr McCormick replied in the negative. Didnt she puff divinely? Yes, she puffed, of course. I did not notice how divinely. Did you ever tell her you were jealous of those gold-tipped cigarettes as they rested between her lips? asked Mr Towns.

Certainly, I did not," replied Mr McCormick. Mr Towns askd Mr McCormick if a few drinks did not change his dispose tion. It might make him more cheerful. was the reply. Well, after two or three drinks you would get the feeling that you alone could elect Dist Attv Whitman Governor, would you not? No, never after three drinks.

LIEUT BRAUER IS MISSING. Continued From the First Page, because the ship had not been interned, but Collector Hamilton understood he had the word of Capt Thierichens that none of his officers or men would leave the vicinity of Newport News while the status of the cruiser was in suspense. It has come to my attention, Collector Hamilton reported today, that one Lieut Brauer, who was either the first officer or the executive officer of the Prinz Eitel Friederich when she arrived at Newport News, Va, March 10, 1013, has left the ship and is not now aboard. "There is also reason to believe that Lieut Brauer may have left the United States and that certain other members of the crew of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich, who were aboard the ship when she arrived, March 10, are not now aboard, and may have possibly left the United States with Lieut Brauer. No Men Left Since Parole.

The commander of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich admits that Lieut Brauer is not now aboard, nor at the present time of the Prinz Eitel Friedrichs crew. He states that Lieut Brauer left the Prinz Eitel soon after her arrival at Newport News, as did also any members of the crew who may not now be aboard, and asserts that since the internment of the Prinz Eitel and the giving of his written parole, no officer or men have been severed from the ship. The commanders assertion that Lieut Brauer and any others who may not now he of the crew of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich left the ship before her internment, and while the Prinz Eitel was at Newport News, suggests two interviews which I had with the commander of the Prinz Eitel shortly after the ship arrived at Newport News, which should be here stated. "The commander, when offered by me the privilege of landing at Newport News for any personal business he might have ashore, after having been at sea for seven months, said he could not leave his ship, asserting that this not only applied to himself, but also to his officers and men who must remain on board. Authority From Admiral Beatty.

Two days later the commander volunteered to me the information that he had received from the proper United States Naval authorities, through Rear Admiral Beatty, commanding the Norfolk Navy Yard, permission for his officers to go ashore at Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Old Point Comfort, Va. I was advised by Rear Admiral Beatty that he had transmitted permission to the commander of the Prinz Eitel Fiiedrieli for the visiting ashore in restricted territory of the Prinz Eitel Friedrh-hs officers, and that permission had been given for the landing of men from the Prinz Eitel when accompanied by a guard, either from Fort Monroe or the Navy, these guards to be furnished upon the application of the commander of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich. Under these conditions, officers and men from the Prinz Eitel Friedrich landed and were ashore prior to the Prinz Eitels internment and the giving by the commander of his written parole to Rear Admiral Beatty at the Norfolk Navy Yard. In connection with Collector Hamiltons report, it became known, although it was not announced, that he made it on May 13. No explanation was made of why it was made public at this time.

It was believed, however, that cable dispatches telling of the arrest on an Italian steamship of a man at first said to be Capt Thierichens, and subsequent conflicting reports that other officers of the Prinz Eitel were absent, led to the publishing of the report.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, June 11 Mrs Emily Trowbridge Gallatin, who obtained a divorce two weeks ago from Fiederic Gallatin Jr, noted polo player and a figure in New York society, has made the announcement that she will be married again within 10 days.

Peltier, BERLIN PRESS IS GRAVELY MOVED BY PRESIDENTS NOTE Continued From the First Page, to Berlin to outline the attitude of the American Government before making response. The note which brought on the crisis in President Wilsons Cabinet and culminated in the resignation of William J. Bryan, as Secretary of State, although friendly in character, firmly renews previous demands that the German Government give assurances that American lives and vessels shall hereafter be safeguarded.

What action the United States will take in the event that Germany refuses to give such assurances is not indicated in the note. Principle of Humanity. The note further declares that in the view of the American Government, the contention that the Lusitania was carrying contraband of war or that these munitions were exploded by a torpedo are irrelevant to the question of the legality of the methods used by the German naval authorities in sinking the vessel. It Is upon this principle of humanity, the note adds, as well as upon the law founded on this principle that the United States must stand. The note informs Germany that must have been misinformed when it assumed that the Lusitania carried guns, but the opportunity is given to Germany to submit any evidence that American officials did not execute their tasks thoroughly in inspecting the Lusitania before sailing.

Note Not Changed One Bit. It became known today that although the note was shown to former Sec Bryan by direction of President Wilson, just before it was dispatched, it was not altered after Mr Bryan had seen it. Acting Sec Lansing, who showed Mr Bryan the note, said today that not a word or letter had been changed. Mr Lansing had not signed the note as Secretary ad interim when he took it to Mr Bryan, and at that time, by the terms of Mr Bryans resignation, the latter was still Secretary of State. Immediately after the conference Mr Lansing signed the note and Mr Bryans resignation became effective.

Mr Lansing attended todays Cabinet meeting by specific invitation of President Wilson. He was not present at the opening of the session, taking the ground, as it was expressed at the State Department, that he should not attend unless invited, in view of the ad interim nature of his appointment in charge of the State Department. The President solved the question immediately by asking him to attend. FOR FORMER PASTOR.

RUSSIANS REPULSE GERMAN ATTACKS IN SHAVLI REGION, PETROGRAD, June 10, via London, June 11 An official statement issued to- night at the War Office was as follows: We successfully repulsed German attacks on June 8 and 9 on an extended front in the Shavii region.

The following morning GUIDES OF THE TYROL ARE IDLE THIS SUMMER SANTA MARIA, Switzerland, June 10, via Geneva and Paris, June 11 The guides of the Tyrol are idle this Summer because with the war in progress virtually no tourists are visiting the mountains. All the well-known resorts of these Alps are deserted this year by the customary visitors, and the men who make their living by guiding the traveler over the passes and up mountains are now without occupation. The famous Stelvio pass, the highest carriage road in Europe, is deserted.

The Stelvio guides gather daily on the Swiss side of the pass and from a point which overlooks the frontier lines of Italy, Austria and Switzerland, they watch the progress of the mountain fighting between Italians and Austrians. Spread out before these observers for a distance of six miles is a panamora of striking interest. Added to the rugged Alpine pass, covered even now with snow to the depth of three feet, are plenty of evidences of the campaign. One can make out the Italian batteries, carefully placed and skilfully concealed. The well-prepared Austrian positions also are to be seen in the opposite direction.

The Italians were the last to bring their guns forward, and they are the ones who generally open the artillery attacks on the Austrian positions, on snow-covered mountains, at an altitude of considerably over a mile. The Italian shells, when they burst throw up clouds of feathery snow. From the other side there are the flashes of artillery against, a white background as the Austrian guns make answer. The Austrians have been particularly skilful in locating their batteries behind snow embankments which make them virtually invisible. The guides are in telephone communication with points further down the, valley, and thus is the news of the I ther peoples, progress of the fight carried from point to point.
