tion of the Lnited States was that t
?inking of the Krye was a violation
the treaty between this country a
Prussia. The German government i
jpcts this contention and indicates th
there is not much chance of agreeme
as to the interpretation of the existn

The German note was made public I

It is asserted that a German pri:

"It wiil now he nece??ary to sett!

that each of the two governments der

"Should the American governmen

Th? German note in effect covers the

14,398,000 EUROPE'S WAR LOSS
TO MAY 31, SAY FRENCH EXPERTS
fBy Cable to The Tribune.l
Paris, Aug. 4.?The losses of Europe in the war up to May 31, as
compiled by the French Ministry cf War, are as follows:
Killed. Wounded. Prisoner?. Total.
France . 460,000 660,000 180,000 1,300.000
England . 181.000 200.000 90,000 471,000
Belgium . 49,000 49,000 15,000 113,000
Russia . 1.250,000 1,680,000 850,000 3,780.000
Germany . 1,630,000 1.880,000 490,000 4.000,000
Austria . 1.610,000 1.865,000 910,000 4,385.000
Turkey . 110,000 144,000 95,000 349,000
Totals . 5.290.000 6,471,000 2,630,000 14,398,000
Thi? table was prepared for publication early in June, but was with?
held because the French authorities feared the enormity of the figures
might have a bad moral effect on the people. The computations, while
probably not exact, may be considered the most complete record of
losses so far put together. The losses of Serbia arc not available, but
as that country has suffered from plague in addition to war they must
be large.
The largest total loss is charged to Austria-Hungary; the largest
proportionate loss to Belgium. Enough persons have been killed to
populate a country like Sweden.
Since May 31 there have been many violent battles to swell the
totals given?the French offensive north of Arras, where 15,000 are said
to have been shin, the Auctro-Italian engagements, the great battle in
Galicia and the German offensive in the Argonne.
The most astounding feature o! this table is the ratio of killed to
wounded. In previous modern wars the number ot wounded has been
to the number of dead as four or five to one. Here the two categories
are much more nearly equal. Many of the wounded have joined their
regiments, but many are crippled for life. The sick, who have been
numerous in all the armies, are not listed here.

prayerful observance of the anniver?

U. S. TO REJECT
BRITISH VIEWS
IN QUICK REPLY
Answer to Notes on Block?
ade and Sea Trade Ready
Within Week.
' HFtmrn Th? TritNMa ?????* )
Washington, Aug. 4. The State De?
? partment's reply to the British note
made public yesterday will be : ent to
London within a week, officials said to
day. As ?t will first have to be ap?
proved by President Wilson, this is un?
derstood to mean that the answer is
practically completed.
As the latest Hi ' ih no'e was dated
July 31, and was received only three
days ago, the inference is that the
United States will send substantially
the note formulated more than six
weeks ago, which reiterates the conten?
tions of Mari h 30 that neutral ?
cannot legally he blockaded and,
therefore, that non-contraband Ameri?
can commerce with such ports mint
not b? molested.
This inference is supported by state?
ments from officials intimalely ac?
quainted with th? government's pro?
cedure. They say the I'nited States
will make in this note one more effort
to bring Great Britain to an appreri
ation of its point of view, but frankly
confess they see little hope of acco -
plishing it.
The general belief is that the mat?
ter will ultimately go before an aibi
tration tribunal. The two govern?
ments are at eross purposes on t -o
main points, both of which concern
vitally th? interests of their nationals.
At Odds on Blockade Legality.
The academic question of the legal?
ity of the blockade itself is one on
which no agreement is possible, of
Great Britain main?
tains that she is violating no funda
mental principle in declaring a block?
ade of neutral roasts, since her only
objective [? enemy commerce.
The propriety of basing prize court
decisions on Briti-h Orders in Council
is another moot point, the I'nited
ach orders
cannot be regarded as part of inter
mal law and, therefoie, inadi
tefore prl se courts, whil?
Great Britain holds that "prize court?
ira .?uhiei-t to the instruction? of thi-u
own sovereign," referring to Amen

It is understood that the I'nited

Would Yield One Point.
Some officials believe that this gov?
ernment should yield the point of
prize court jurisdiction and should
permit the English courts to try the
:n their own way b-fore enter?
ing protests. It is pointed out that
the I'nited States has always insisted
?,n this procedure in tne ?ase of for

Petrograd. Aug. .5.?An official
statement issued from General
Headquarters admits that the Rus?
sians have retired from the Blonie
N:i-larzyn line on Warsaw.
r.. ' H It ? n ? i
London, Aug. 4.?The first signs
on the fighting line that Russia is
ready to carry out her announced
intention of evacuating Warsaw
came to-day with reports from both
Petrograd and Berlin of a contrac?
tion of the lines at the point of the
Polish salient.
Berlin claims to-night that the
! Russians have been driven back to
the advanced defences of I.omza,
I that the Narew ha? I?een crossed near
; Ostrolenka, that, driven out of their
Blonie positions, the Russians have
fallen back into the outer lines of
Warsaw, which the Bavarians are
1 attacking, and that the Austrian?
have captured the western part of
I the fortress of Ivangoro?!.
This series of movements is cx
l pee ted to culminate in the German
! occupation of the Polish capital, and
?if the (,ennan advance is p"
? may develop into a great battle, Wit
! it is considered likely by many ox
; ports that the Russians, hiving held
their lines for three weeks, ate at
last ready to withdraw, and will do
su without an extensive engagement.
On the whole, the Russians, so far
as can be gathered from the official
reports, are making an extremely
orderly retirement. They are losing
' comparatively few prisoners, and,
1 except for the thirty-two guns aban
! ?loned to the west of Ivangorod, tho
Germana make no claims to the
capture of heavy pieces of artillery.
In the meantime Field Marshal Von
Mackensen is slowly advancing from
! the southeast, between the Vistula and
I the Bug, in an effort to etal off the Rus?
sian armie?, which apparently are mak
[ iAg a leisurely exit from W irsaw, aii'l
1 the western lines, while General V"ti
Buelow, in bis wider encircling move?
ment through Courland, has reached
i Kupisehhl, some fifty miles west of
Dvinak, on the Vilna-Petrograd Rail?
way.
Although the operations of Von
I Mackensen and Von Ruelow appear to
I offer the most dangerous threats to
, the retiring Russian armies the Ru?
I sian General Staff is paying more at?
. tention to Field Marshal Von Ilimlen
burg, who has been trying, with mord
I or less succ?s?, to force the line of the
? Narew. Here the Russians are offering
| the most stubborn resistance, and, ac
eording to an oficial diapstck from
Petrograd, in two bafea ?,' three days
each, succeeiled in chicking the ll.-r
mans and inflicting heavy losses on
them. The Russians also admit ?ever?

?that in this ba'- -nans have

A Russian official - timent from

Russians Admit Heavy Losses.
This official statement then relates a
Russian success near the m uth of the

The German losses are ,' hMlihod as
"severe" in one case, and "tery 1
in another, while the los-.es of the Rus?

heavy."
