8 DEAD IN CRASH
ON HIGH BRIDG]
Others May Have Been Throu
Two Hundred Feet Down
Into Ravine.
Gettysburg, Penn., June 24 Elfi
persons are known to have been kill?
and 'rom twelve to fourtcon were ii
jured. in a head-on collision betwee
the P'ue Mountain special and a loc
train on the Western Maryland Kai
road to-night.
The trains, which were going at hi?
speed, met on a bridge spanning a der
ravine between Highfield an?. Thu
mont, and it is feared that some of tr
rnsscngers were thrown from th
bridge. The place where the wrec
occurred is isolated, and darkness pr?
vented ran^i search. Telegraph wire
wore earn?.i down, ami it was diff
ci.'t to obtnin information.
A m-sutiderat-anding of orders is b?
lieved to have been the cause.
Three irymhers of the engine crew
and a baggage master, and three o
four passengers were killed. Th
Identified ?lead are: Charles Cook, en
gineer o{ the accommodation train
Charles R. Fritz, fireman; Luther Hul
bagpi.jre master; Mrs Chipchase, o
Baltimore, and her eon.
A baggage ear apparently was th
only on? that left tne bridge, but on
of the parlor cars was suspended ove
the side. All the cars of the apeeia
i train were of steel construction.
The private car of President Grey
containing a number of officiels of th
Western Maryland, was on the train
but none of the officials was killed.
Th? bridge on which The aeciden
occurred is 200 feet high, and it wa
i considered remarkable that both train
were not precipitated to the bottom o
the ravine.

BRYAN IN ROLE
OF GERMAN HERO
WINS A TRIUMPH
Crowd at Garden Hails
Him as "Great Interpret?
er" and Next President.
HE HOPES WILSON'S
PLAN WILL SUCCEED
German. Austrian and Turkish
Diplomats Have Places of
Honor at Demonstration.
If numbers alone moa*uro?l the true
?eight of public sent.ment, without re
?gara to a decided)] pro-German ma?
jority, the ??lent demonstration m
Midison Square Gr.rden :ast night
might stand for "pe ice-at-an , |
as the slogan ?>f n large portion of the
people of this city. The greatest ad?
vocate of thai policy, William Jen?
nings Brjran, erstwhile diplomat and
Secretary of State, was the dl
card. It ?tras said, with feeble contra?
diction, that Mr. Bryan had oxporienc-.l
no such public ?Deception since he spoke
.in the Garden during hi?- e??npaign
in 1900.
The police estimated that the Crowd
striving to Cet tn the ?!?>ors before
'.hey were opened would reach 70,000.
More than 15,000 people taxed the ca?
pacity of the Garden when all were In
that the Fire Department would allcw.
More conservative estimates placed the
crowd inside and out at 50.000. while
the enthusiastic chairman of the meet?
ing, Henry Weismann, of the German
American Alliance, declared that 100,
000 had come to hear Mr. Bryan speak.
Several overflow meetings were held
in the streets.
Despite Mr. Weismnnn's asrortinn?
to the contrary, pro-Gorman sentiment
ran high, and the meeting was essen?
tially representative of the cause of
the Fatherland. The Friends of Peace,
under whose auspices the mass meet?
ing was held, is composed of sixteen
societies, eleven of which are German,
one Austrian, three Irish and one
American. Among the German diplo?
mats and officials present were Captain
Boy-Ed. naval attache of the German
Embassy; Captain von Papen, general
military attach?: I>r. Konstantin
Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian Ambn?
sa?lor; I)r. I.ouis Haupt and Captain
Freist, of the German Red Cross, and
Djelal Rey, the Turkish Ambassador.
"We Forbid War."
Resolutions were read at th? end of
the meeting by the Rev. Dr. Henry
Schoenfeld and Chairman Weismann
put them to a standing vote, arni.l
great enthusiasm. Mr. Weismunn said
that they would be printed with Mr.
Bryan's speech and sent to the Pres?
ident, all the members of the houses
of Congress and to all governors of
states. After the meeting Mr. Weis?
mann said:
"This meeting is an answer to the
question as to where the German
Americans stand. A war with Ger?
many is an impossibility. There will
he no war with Germany. We Ger?
man-Americans will not permit it."
Mi. Bryan wore a black alpaca coat.
His voice and oratory were at their
best. As he entered the (?arden, es?
corted by a German-American commit?
tee, the band pAyed "The Star Span?
gled Banner," and he was cheered by
the vast audience foi fully a minute.
When he arose to ?peak the cheering
la-ted longer. While using his usual
forceful argument for world peace, he
took occasion to launch into a most
belligerent attack upon the newspapers
of this city. He nevi r was so vindic?
tive before in his attitude toward the
New York press. It stemeT as if he
welcomed the chance as a free citizen,
after years of political activity, to let
loose all the pent-up venom he had
harbored for those who had criticised
and ridiculed him.
"I probablv do not feel as indignant
as some of you in retard to the atti?
tude of the New York press." said the
ex-Secretary. "1 am more used to it.
I have been in pblic life for twenty
live vears and durine all that time I
have never known the New York pa
pors to take the side of the American
people on anv issue. For the last two
\ears and three months 1 have had to
sit quietly and listen to their cowardly
Httacks while thev were trying to as
lassinute me. But they cannot assas
?ir.ate me now. I am ?ready to meet
them. After two years of erying 'hat
1 was not fit to fill the position el
Secretary of State, thev have suddenly
found out that I will endanger my
country bv leaving."
"Our Next President."
If 'here was any one thi'ig more
than another which showed the strong
pro-German sentiment of the meeting
it wat the general attack made by all
the speakers on the "subsidised" and
"Anglicized" press of the city, ?.'hair
man Weismann was even stronger In
Ins denunciation of his home papers
than Mi. Bryan. He declared, in a'
long introductory speech, 'hat Presi
dent Wilson v as not so constituted,
nor in an atmosphere at present,
thai he could understand the Ameri
can people. He loudly u-??eited that
Mr. Bryan did; that he was born

and what they feared He i- the mis- j
sionary and the great interpreter, he

Ex-Representative Henry Vollmer
told of the attitude of the German

ing President Wilson's German policy.
It was Mr. Yollmei who introduced a
biil at the last session of Congress to
prohibit the exportation of arms and
ammunition to the Allies He -aid, in

BERLIN ANSWER

May Go Long Way Tow?
ard Aleeting Wishes
on Submarines.
Berlin, June 24. There are good
I prospecta that the forthcoming Ger
! man note to the I'nited ?States will go
I a long way toward meeting the Am -
can government's wishes regarding
Germany's conduct of submarine war?
fare and the safety of passenger traffic
on th?- high seas.
While it is stated that submarine
action against hostile merchantmen
will not and can not be abandoned ?n
tirely, it is probable that the German
note will embody proposals to exempt
ships employed wholly or principally
in passenger traffic.
Such ship.s, it is said, would, of
course, be subject to stoppage i.nd ex?
amination by submarines in accord?
ance with the practice in vogue prior
to th?- present war and to capture, if
Carrying cuntrabund, but the rules of
the prise law, particularly regardinir
the safety of passengers and CIWW,
wouhl be observed.
It is hoped here that such a solu?
tion will satisfy the requirements of
President Wilson's note. It is hop .1
and expected here among those who
are working for a friendly .settlement
of the situation between Germany and
ti. ? United States that the t'nited
Statei will see that such passenger
ships un? not used to transport . m
munition and guns nor lend themsel es
to attacks on submarines.
U. S. Reply on Frye Case

Washington, June 24. The reply of
the United States to the German note
on the cas?? of the American ship Will?
iam P. Five, sunk by the Prinz Kite!

day.
The note reiterates the contention
that the Frye was sunk in violation of
international law and of the Prussian
Ameriean treaty of 1828, and asks for
?ion without reference to prize
court proceedings. Germany has agreed
to make reparation under the treaty of
1828, but justifies the destruction of
the Frye and ha? referred the c-ase to a
prize court.

BRITAIN DENIES =
U. S. HAS CAUSE
FOR COMPLAINT
Defends Methods of Hand?
ling Cases of Detained
Ships and Cargoes.
[gr?ai ThelMMass nu-rau ]
Washington. June 14. American citi?
zens have no substantial grievance as
to Great Britain's treatment of neutral
shipping, according to .the recent
memorandum from the British Foreign
Office, which was made public here to?
day by -Secretary Lansing. It enumer?
ates the efforts to hurry the cases of
detained neutral ships and cargoes. It
is, however, unsatisfactory to this
I country, and a note will shortly be sent
! to Great Britain protesting in a gen?
eral way against the activities of Brit?
ish warships in impeding neutral com?
merce.
The concessions made as to ship?
ments of cotton, the memorandum saya,
have resulted in prompt settlements,
and it points out that few ships have
been detained, compared with the num
1 her which have cleared from the I'nited
States.
Discussing the shipment of cargoes
from Germany which had been oald
for previous to March I. the memo?
randum says that the British govern -
1 ment has done all that could be ex?
pected in allowing the shipment of these
cargoes without interference up to June
15. In response, however, to the rep?
resentations of the American Ambas?
sador, directions have been given that
in all such cases passed on by the Brit?
ish Embassy before June 15 the goods
shall be allowed to proceed witnout
interference.
No ? a u se for Grievance.
The memorandum says in conclu?
sion :
"His majesty's government, are
earnestly desirous of removing all
causes of avoidable delay in dealing
with American cargoes and vessels
which may be detained, and any spe?
cific inquiries or representations whi*h
may be made by the United States gov?
ernment in regard to particular cases
will always receive the most careful
consideration, and all information
which can be afforded without preju*?
dice t. prize court proceedings will be
readily communicated; but they can
scarcely admit that on the basis of
actual facts any substantial grievance
on the part of American citizens is jus?
tified or can be sustained, and they
therefore COafideatlj appeal to the
opinion of the I'nited States govern?
ment as enlightened by this memoran?
dum."
The British Embassy has announced
that it is prepared to allow shipments
of goods f'-om Germany after June 15
in cases where there was not time
for shipment before that date. The
embassy added that the British con?
sular authorities at Rotterdam have
been informed as to the conditions
connected with the permits in these
cases.
Secretary Lansing will hold a con?
ference with a committee of importers
representing approximately $50,000,000
worth of goods now held in Germany,
which the British government will not
allow to come to this country, although
they were contracted for by the im?
porters some time ago.
The I'nited States has never admi -
ted the right of Great Britain to in?
terfere with the shipment of non-con?
traband cargoes to and from Germany,
ai.d it is generally understood that
this phase of the warfare on the aeas
will be treated vigorously in the note
that is shortly to go to Great Britain.

[Hi Tah's to Th? TrtNii!? 1
London, June 24. While the con?
querors of I.emberg are pursuing the
retreating Russians eastward and
northeastward in the direction of the
Muscovite frontier, the Austro-Ger?
mans under General von Linaingen
I have forced more crossings of the
i Dniester.
A battle ii now raging on the north?
ern bank between Halicz and Zurawno,
while further up the stream Zydaczow
and Mikolaiow, an important town a
good mile on the Lemberg side of the
river, have been captured.
Dispatches from Petrogra?l ?ay that
the new front to which the Russ an*
are retiring is in Galician territory.
The pursuit is said to have been made
extremely difficult by the destruction
1 of the roads behind the retreating
; army.
Believed Russians Escaped.
The abience of any reference to the
capture of prisoners in to-day's Berlin
and V ienna official reports is taken aa
. an indication that practically all the
Russian forces in the Lemberg lector
effected their escape.
The Austro-Germans, according to to
i night's communiqu? from Vienna, ha?.e
I captured two important towns on the
f line in Russian Poland north and west
of the upper Vistula Sandomierx, on
! the river near the point where it turns
? directly northward, and Ostrowiec,
j twenty two miles further to the north
? west.
The statement in an unofficial dis?
patch from German sources that this
[ Teutonic armies are now preparing for
| another attempt to capture Warsaw and
j that troops have been sent to the
? Bzura River line to take part In th*
frontal attack is regarded by military
experts as not unlikely, in view of
events, not only in Galicia, but in th*
Baltic provinces.
Two Armies Keep Pace.
Keeping pace with the Galician ope?
rations, the Germans ha\e been mov?
ing e? er stronger reinforcements ?nto
/the Baltic provinces. Beginning with
? cavalry raid early in May by Bava?
rian cavalry divisions, suppoited by
Prussian Guards regiments brought
over from the French front, the north?
ern operations have grown into a for?
midable enterprise. The invaders now
have no fewer than fourteen army
corps, comprising more than 600,000
men, in this region.
The movement was originally as*
sumed to be merely an attempt to cut
the Russian r.orthern lines of com?
munication and k?ep them interrupted
for a period necessary to deliver an?
other blow toward W.irsaw. Thi*
movement has grown until it seems to
?hrea*en a much more serious purpose.
It apparently has been strictly co-ordi?
nated with the forward movement? in
Galicia, and, altogether, it looks very
much a? if th* Germans ?vire deter?
mined to execute the plan of war
against Russia which was laid down
years ago. Half of this plan was in?
trusted to Austria eleve:? tr.onth* ago,
and Austria then failed verv badly,
even though strongly reinforced by
German troop?.
Means Junction Behind Hirer.
Germany is now apparently under?
taking to execute her own plan herself.
It necessitates a successful drive in
fror.i Last Prussia and northward from
Galicia, the former armies turning
southward to meet those from the
Galician front behind the line of the
Vistula. This would amount to a seri?
ous invasion of Russia, even although
no vital points would be reached.
The German Army Headquarters re?
port issued to-day says:
"The army un?ier General vo.i Lin
singen crossed the Dniester between
Halicz, which is still being held by
our enemies, and Zurawno. This army
engaged in a fierce battle on the north?
ern bank.
"In the neighborhood of Lemberf
and Zolikiew the pursuit continues. Be?
tween Rawa Ruska and the San as ttr
as L'lanow nothing of importance has
occurred. In the angle between the
San and the Vistula the Russians ha-.e
retreated behind a branch of the San;
also on the left bank of th* Vistula
south of Ilza they are retreating toward
the north"
