SLAVS STILL SMASH FORWARD
WOULD PURCHASE NORTHERN MEXICAN STATES
X
Germans Repulsed and
Russians Threaten Kovel
BERLIN, July 9.—It is admitted
that the German force sent to pre-!
Tent the advance of the Russians
upon Kovel with the re-organized
Teutons from north and south of
that point, have been unable to re
sist the enormous weight of the
smashing massed attacks which the
Slavs drove forward, notwithstand
ing their losses, and have had to
retire.
The Russians now threaten Ko
vel.
Every effort will be made to hall
the Russians and to prevent their
taking this which Is regarded as
the key to the advance upon
Poland.
BERNE, July 9.—Berlin papers
are quite outspoken in their attach
on the German and Austrian com
manders in trying to prevent the
Russian advance by inadequate
troops. Where ten and more divi
sions were needed they only sent
one or two, often none at all. Over
confidence has been the cause ot
all the disasters in the east, say
the papers.
PETROGRAD, July 9.—The Rus
sians have now massed their forces
so that south a id north of the Prl
pet their lines have again met after
rolling up the German opposition.
They are in such control of the si
tuation that Kovel Is within their
enveloping movement.
The Germans are trying to re
lieve the pressure by an attack to
the North but this too has collapsed.
SUBMARINE MERCHANTMAN
SENSATION OF CHESAPEAKE
BALTIMORE, July 10.—At an
early hour this morning the Ger
man submarine liner Deutschland
arrived here, sixteen days out from
Bremerhaven after an uneventful
trip.
The commander of the new type
of ship went ashore at once anu
after a short interview with the
Customs mailed a personal letter
from the Kaiser to President Wil,
son, the contents of which are how
ever unknown.
Captain Koenig told press repre
sentatives that the boat carries
seven hundred and fifty tons of
dyestuffs, chemicals and medical
supplies which have not been ship
ped to the United States since the
war began.
The Deutschland will be followed
by others at intervals.
The new type of liner carries
two small guns, no torpedoes and
officials have decided that the sub
marine comes under the merchant
man class.
The boat is three hundred and
fifteen feet long, looks like a whale
back, and has a beam of thirty
feet, making a speed faster than
that of the ordinary liner submerg
ing in two minutes. The idea was
conceived nine months ago and this
ship was launched last March at
Kiel yards. The boat is owned by
the Ocean Navigation Co. and will
begin an import and export trade
at once . Captain Koenig says that
the Deutschland will take back to
Germany a cargo of nickle and rub
ber which have been somewhat
scarce for some time.
