"Heavy fighting has been resumed

of the Austro-Germans in previously

stronger than further to the east be?

the retreat co?tinued Saturday.
"The German-Austrian front in this

BRITISH REPORT
FOURCONQUESTS
BY SUBMARINES
Herman Transport and
Destroyer and Turkish
Ships Sunk.
Ixindon, Aug. 2. A series of widely
separated successes for British sub?
marines came to light to-day through
reports from various sources. The
' sinking of the two war vessels, a trans?
port and another enemy steamer were
j on the list, the operations including
both the Baltic and the Sea of Mar
' mora.
A dispatch from Petrograd says that
an official communication issued there
? to-night reports that a British sub
, marine has sunk a large German trans?
port in the Baltic Sea.
Torpedohoat Destroyer Sunk.
The British Admiralty announced
that a submarine had reported the
sinking of a German torpedoboat de
i stroyer, believed to be of the G-I9i">
! class, on July L'fi near the German
? coast.
The G-196 was completed in 1911, and
was capable of a speed of more than
. thirty-two knots an hour. She wns fit
, ted with two 21-pounders and three
torpedo tubes. Her complement in nor?
mal times was seventy-three officers
and men.
Another Admiralty statement says:
"The vice-admiral commanding in
?tern Mediterranean reports that
! one of thi op> r
| nting in the Sea of Marmora h
| pedoed a large steamer of :i.ll00 tons
?off the Mudani? pier, which had rev?
! eral vessels secured alongside. The
| explosion was very heavy. A small
steamer close to Karabigha Bay was
' ti ipedoed.
Gunboat Torpedoed.
"A report from Constantinople states
that a gunboat was torpedoed in the
Sea of Marmora about this time, and it
possibly refers.ces
"Torpedoes were fired at lighters
alongside the arsenal at Constantino?
ple. The results could not be seen,
?he explosion was heavy.
"The Zeitunlik powder mills were
; fired at, but owing to the daikness the
! result could not be ascertained.
"The railway cut on? mile west of
Kara l?urr.u was bombarded and the

cisi?n?, such as that in the Matamo
case, which appeared to conflict w
' this doctrine, are held to be inappli

governing conditions.
To Meet America**. Objection?.
The note was long in preparation a
was intended to meet the objection
the United tSates that previous Brit
notes had dealt only with special ca'
of seisures and detention of ships a
cargoes under conditions that seem
to justify the British action, failing
answer the American contentions ti?
the whole process of interference w
neutral commerce was in violation
international law. After it hail be
sent to Washington new conditio
arose that led the British governme
to amplify its argument.
One of theaa new conditions was
strong protest by the State Depnrtme
against the seizure of the Americ
ship N'eches, bound from Rotterdam f
New York with a cargo of Bi
1 German goods. British activiti
previously bad been confined prim
pally to holding up cargoes from Ame
?ca, ostensibly bound for neutral cou
tries, but alleged by the British to
actually destined for Germany or Au
tria. The N'eches case made ..eeessa
a defence of the Allies' right to cut (
Germany's export trade to neutr
countries and the financial benefit
be derived from that business.
The second note of the series den
with this issue and it is understood th
it set.; up the contention that an actu

ders in Council, there is an inherit
right in the blockading powers undt

this kind. While the controversy
proceeding, unoificial effort- in.

ket goods now awaiting export at Re
terdam, by proving Belgian origin an
? American ownership.
Keply to American Caveat.
The last note of the series is in r<
, plv to the American invent of July 1
saying that the United States woul
be governed only by the principlea c
international law in dealing with case
of detentions of American ships an
goods, and would not recognize th
1 irders In Council.
The British foreign Office holds tha
the Orders in Council comply with th
st'irit. of international law. althoug
they make a new application of tiles
I principles to suit the new condition
develooed in the war.
British prize rouit proceedings, i
which the magistrates have assume
that the Orders in Council were in con
formity ?vith international law, pm
voked the American communication. Th
, British contend that where interna
Itional iaaues were pending before th
United Slates courte, that fact has hei
recognized by the London governmen
as a reason for deferring diplomati
protests.
It is held thct the United States gov
iernment cannot assume that its mer
: chnnts have suffered permanent injury
since there is always in reserve th?
right of diplomatic review of prin
court decisions, and even of arbitra
tion, under the anecia] arbitr?t:..'
treaty between the United Stat?
Great Britain, recently perfected.
An answer to the British notes soor
will be forthcoming, as officials her?

have gathered material in rebuttal.

"There is much talk going on abroad

that negotiations are proceeding quite

The correspondent suggested that it
