the Trones woods which were taken

the heavy offensive counter attacks
which the Germans have initiated.
PARIS, July 12.—The German!
have abated their efforts to re-cap
ture the positions gained in Cham
pagne which the French are secure
ly holding. The British north oi
the Somme were obliged to relin
quish the conquest of Nametz wood!
concerning which ihe fighting ha
been so vijlent before the German
counter attacks.

i Freuth in the Venlun sections have
all been repulsed. The fighting
around Verdun is becoming inter*
i mitten*, indicating a redistribution
of the enemy’s forces at other
threatened sections of the line. The
German attacks in the Vosges are
lacking in weight and have been
repelled with ease.
The German bombardment of the
Flanders lines continues.

GERMANS PREVENT RUSSIANS
CROSSING STOCKHOD RIVER
BERLIN, July 12.—The Rus
sian attempt to crons the Stockhod
river in their Kovel advance was re
pulsed after sanguinary losses. The
Slavs again and again tried to force
a crossisng but the German artille^
ry simply slaughtered them in do
ing so. The river was dark with
bodies and red with human blood.
The Slavs are still trying to force
the position.

Dvina attacks have proven abortive,
being repulsed by the Hindenberg

The Austrians are gaining in the
Isonzo section with a determined
offensive against the Italians.
BERLIN, July 12.—There will be
no Allied offensive in the Balkans.

as hard an offensive blow as thev
could, and will now return to their
defensive.

GERMAN PUBLIC DEMANDS
RESUMPTION DIVER WAR
COPENHAGEN, July 12.—The
food shortage In Germany Is becom
ing very grave. The public now
demands that the German Admi
ralty order at once a resumption
of the submarine campaign unless
the British modify theft blockade
regulation so that food can be re
ceived.
Notwithstanding the fine reports
officially sent out as to the crops of
this year, they are not very good
while in Hungary they are admitted
to be failures. This, manes the si
tuation very grave indeed as far as
the -food problem Is concerned. The
.Berlin papers and the public very
wisely conclude that by the earn-i
est and systematic conduct of the;
original submarine campaign the Al
lies will be forced to change their
blockade rules. The German peo
ple claim that this is now a life and
death struggle for the Germans and
that for this reason nothing should
be allowed to interfere with the
common sense suumarine policy
which was bringing Britain to its
knee3 when the United States inter
fered.
AMSTERDAM, July 12.—Food

Calling Diver Warvessel
BALTIMORE, July 12.—Captain
Koenig of the diver Deutschland is
quite satisfied the rulings of local
officials that his under sea liner is
a merchantman will stand at Wash
ington.
“The attempts of the Allies to
[have the Deutschland classed as a
warship are absurd", he said today
i to the American reporter. “We
carry no arms but two small guns
which would be useless for any of
fensive purpose. We have neither
torpedoes nor torpedo tubes an
we couldn’t take the offensiv
against any vessel.
I am making arrangements t
' leave here on the return trip i
j eight days and expect to take e
' my cargo just as soon as the stul
| on board is discharged".
Koenig in the same interviei
1 stated that about eight merchan
divers are all nearing completion an
| would be in business within a 'e\
weeks, at the latest the company
1 fleet would be operating within a
? month.
Koenig received direct congratu*
i lations from the Kaiser. He denied
l that he brought any letter to Wii
i son from the German emperor ana
i said he did not know how that
I story got out. The IT boat put into
' Cartagena was of the Imperial Ger

SAN FRANCISCO, Ju^y 12.—
Feeling between the longshoremei
and shipping men is growing inten
sely bitter and is rendering th<
work of the mediation conference
extremely difficult.
Robert Dollar, the well knowi
steamship owner, whose vessel1
have most been flying British flai
for many years, adressing the "lav
and order branch” of the Chambet
of Commerce here, urged that foi
every scab reported to bo attacked
by unionists, two strikers should be
■ slugged out of commission. He held
i J they had got to strike terror in
• j the hearts of the longshoremen so
s that their resistance would he weak
i and they would he ready to quit the
light.
i The utterance of Dollar have ex
i cited the men considerably and |
; mal e the situation extremely i'ffi- j
' cult.
The papers here are almost an-'
• animous in condemning tho remarks
as “untimely, untactful. ill-judged
and unwarranted”. There' has been
very slight disorder since the strike
was called, and it is pointed out by
one paper supporting the shipping
companies that the only marked
ease of violence, the murder of the
picketer Olson, was upon the side
of the shipping interests.
So restive are the strikers now
becoming that the trouble, it is fear
ed, may extend to the sailors orga
nization. This is what they have*
teen trying to avoid.
