VIEWSOFU.S.
Authorized Forecast Gives
Officials Slight Hope Ber-
lin Will Yield.
MAY NOT MEAN A BREAK
Discussion of the Matter
Likely to Be Continued
Indefinitely.
HINT' ON NOTE GIVEN GERARD
Berlin. It Is Said, Will Cite Armenian
Case to Show Difficulty of "Visiting
and Searching" Merchantmen.
Based on information transmitted
through Ambassador Gerard, and appar
ently authorized press dispatches from
Berlin, the conclusion was reached here
yesterday that the note -which Germany
s understood to be about to send to the
I'nlted States contains little or nothing
that satisfies the views of this govern
ment regarding the submarine issue.
Since the administration has deter
mined that it cannot discuss informally
with the German government the ac
ceptability of certain proposals which
seem to represent the limit of Germany's
concessions, the feeling i generally en
tertained here that the situation will not
tie materially improved by the German
reply about to be given to Ambassador
Gerard.
For several -ecks reports from Berlin
have repeatedly indicated that no very
substantial concessions were to be ex
pected from the German government.
The prospect which was for the first
time definitely spoken of here yesterday
is that the United States will be com
pelled for the second time to Inform
Germany that she has not met this gov
ernment on the prlncipleH Involved, and
demand for the third time reparation for
past offenses and assurances for the fu
ture freedom of American life and prop
erty from the menace of German subma
rine operations.
Break May Be Averted.
This far from satisfactory outlook is
not regarded as foreshadowing a break
between the two governments Provided
there is no further wanton attack on
American life or the American flag, it
is beliecd that the discussion of the
i-.Mie may continue indefinitely. That It
will remain a disputed question until the
end of the wr if regarded ai quite with'
It the range of possibility, provided ai'
mj that there is no repetition of tho
l.us.tania disaster
In the absence of the president, strict
secrecv is lein? preserved as to the cor
resiumdence between the State Depart
ment and Cornih. and between Wash'
Ington and Ambassador Gerard
One suggestion made here vesterday
was that the German government is at
tempting to conduct its preliminary ne
gotiations with the mass of the Ameri
can ieople, through the press. Instead
of with the government. The circumstan
tial and apparently authorized forecast
of the German note published jesterday
in dispatches from Brrlin might, accord
ing to this theory, have been given to
American correspondents merely for the
purpose of sounding out public opinion
ard administration opinion In this coun
try. It is known that the Germans have
felt since Mr Brvan's resignation that
the were dealing with a divided coun
try. Urnly I FormlimlotTril.
It became known jesterday that
there is ,n most striking resemblance
between the forecasts published yes
terday and the matter given Ambas
sador Gerard From this fact the
lonrlusion is reached that what has
been transmitted really represents
what Is to be in the German reply.
It was said at the State Department
that it was not known there that
Ambassador Gerard would go to the
foreign oflice From this it was re
garded as a possibility that he had
been asked to call to receive either
the note Itself or to be informed as

awakened residents of H, between Ninth

morning?
"I never heard anything like it In my

at a boarding-house table who wasn't
ashamed of her age. "1 thought at first
It was a panther, and yet I knew from
the human sound that it could not be an

"I was sound asleep, but the cry made
me sit up In bed as If I was coming out
of a nightmare," said a man at another
table. "The first thing I thought was
rather peculiar. I said to myself: 'Well.
If I was a policeman asleep at the post
that would sure start me looking for
something. "
The negro waiter said: "Boss, that ain't
the first time we have heard that cry
'round here. No, sir; we've heard it be

THAW RETURNS
LEGOIAFTS
Slayer of White Scores as
Witness in Own
Behalf.
SUPREME TEST TODAY
Story of Stanford White's Death to
Be Taken Up at This Morn
ing's Session.
New York, July 8. Harry Thaw took
the witness stand In his own behalf at
the Jury trial of his sanity before Justice
Hendrlck today, and for five hours and
thirty minutes skillfully resisted the In
sidious onslaughts of Assistant Attorney
General Cook.
At times the combat was thrilling.
Thaw seemed now and then to be on the
verge of breaklng-hls eyes opened wide,
his face twitched and he was'apparcntly
at a loss for the word with which to meet
Cook's thrust. Then he gripped himself
resolutely, paused, smiled and rounded
out his answer with perfect sense and
reason.
He evaded half a dozen traps which
were carefully laid for him. He shot
replies at Cook with a suddenness which
sent murmurs of approval through the
crowded and absorbed courtroom. He
matched wits with his cross-examiner,
showed temper, sounded ono note of de
fiance, and In at least one Instance when
he narrated the story told him by Evelyn
Nesblt of her treatment by Stanford
White, upon which his outburst of In
sanity Is based ha attained real elo
quence.
Most Effective Plea
"When the end of the afternoon session
came he was plainly tired. There were
deep lines in his face and he was per
spiring freely anj breathing laboredly
from the exertion But he insisted on
proceeding to the end of his examination
at the night session, which had been or
dered, and only the Intervention of coun
sel and the refusal of the court to per
mit the attempt prevented him from bat
tling into the night.
When ho stepped from the witness
stand a dozen hands were thrust forward
In congratulation. He smiled his ac
knowledgments, lighted a cigar and
strolled off with his counsel.
It was agreed on all sides that Thaw
had made the most effective plea for
liberty that has been uttered for him
since his commitment to Matteawan.
Supreme Test Today.
At the end of the day his whole life
had been covered exhaustively by Cook
down to the shooting of Stanford White.
Tomorrow morning Cook will attack
Thaw upon that line and here will come
the supreme test.
Fortified by the success which attend
ed his efforts today. Thaw said tonight
he was supremely confident that he
would come through the ordeal with fly
ing colors
He went on the stand at 1:20 this aft
ernoon and with the exception of a flve-
mlnute recess midway in the session he
was in action until S o'clock. Resuming
the stand at 2 o'clock, he was again con
stantly under examination with the ex
ception of a five-minute recess until court
adjourned at 5 o'clock until tomorrow
morning. He will probably continue on
the stand most of tomorrow.
The case will probably go to the Jury
on Tuesday night
Alienists Watch Thaw.
In anticipation of Thaw's appearance
on the stand, the biggest crowd of the
trial thronged the courtroom this morn
ing. Thaw's mother, brother, and sister
were present when court opened.
Cook first read into the record the
commitment to Matteawan signed by the
Supreme Court Justices, who have heard
and dismissed previous habeas corpus
writs sued out In his behalf.
It was 10 SO o'clock when Thaw was
called to the stand. Instantly Drs. Aus
tin Flint and Carlos McDonald, leading
experts for the State, shifted their seats
to vantage points from which they could
look directly Into Thaw's face. Simul
taneously, Stanchfleld rose to his feet,
and. planting himself In the line of
vision of -the experts, maintained his
position during both sessions, making
it necessary for the experts to turn and
twist about In order to study the face of
Thaw. "
Tharr Defends White.
Tense silence filled the room as Thaw,
thoroughly self-possessed, seated him

Nine Ships Violating U. S.
Neutrality) Lansing is. Told
Labor's Peace Council Makes Charges Believed to Be Based
on Information Obtained by Secret Agents State--
ment Regarded as a Plea for Germany.
That not less than nine ships are now
taking on cargoes of ammunition and
other war supplies at or near New York
City, in violation of the neutrality of the
United States, was the charge lodged
with Secretary of State Lansing yester
day by Labor's National Peace Council.
This is the organization headed by Rep
resentatives Buchanan and Fowler, of
Illinois, which recently has been active
in urging the passage of legislation pro
hibiting the exportation of war muni
tions. These so-called peace advocates'" give
the names of the vessels which they say
are violating the neutrality of the United
States, and they call upon Secretary Lan
sing for a public investigation Into the
facts by government officials.
The peace council gives the grounds on
which the charges of violated neutrality
are based, but officials of the State De
partment and other legal authorities in
Washington were unable to see how any
of these grounds were applicable In the
cases cited.
In Interest of Germany.
As a matter7 of fact, the most striking
feature of the peace council's communi
cation is the evidence It seems to bear
on Its face of being a' mov e in the In
terest of Germany. In the first place,
official Washington was surprised at the
detailed Information which the peace
council has presented In regard to ship
ments of war munitions. Such Informa
tion, it is believed, could have been ac
quired only at considerable expense and
probably through the employment of
secret agents. So far as is known, Mr.
"Booze" Loses Drug Reputation;
Pharmacies Doomed to Go "Dry
The dry-wet fight has made Its ap
pearance In a new quarter.
After a long struggle it has been
decided to drop "whiskey" and "bran
dy from the next issue of the United
States Pharmacopeia, thtv acknowl
edged official and standard list of
drugs. Through this action whiskey
and brandy would seem to have lost
their standing as "drugs."
Some fear has been expressed by
druggists that this elimination may
make it impossible for drug stores
after January 1 next to sell whiskey
or brandy unless they take out a.
saloon license, but officials here do
not share this view.
Fifty scientists who constitute a
committee to revise the Pharmaco
peia have voted by the narrow mar
gin of 26 to 24 to exclude the two
intoxicants from the official list The
fight has been a long one and repre
sents one of the many phases of the
general temperance crusade.

Is rapidly falling under suspicion, tu

1. The steamship City of Chicago,

York, la a transport In the service of
the British government, and Is about

whiskey and that nothing but four-year-old

. Manifest
New York, July 9 The fate of the At
lantic transport liner Minnehaha, loaded
with explosives and reported on fire at
sea. as the result of an explosion, was
In doubt up to an early hour this morn
ing. The prediction of Holt the manlae
bomb-maker, that a ship leaving New
York July 3 would be blown up on July
7, Inspired fears for the ship's safety.
"Fire In No. 3 hold. Not serious. Put
ting Into Halifax," was the captain's
message. Another was received yester
day noon. It was as follows:
"Fire caused by explosion. Now eon
trolled by suffocation and steam. Much
smoko in hold."
One tiny fulminate of mercury cap
missing from the supply of explosives
known to have been bought by Holt may
explain the explosion on the ship.
In order to learn whether Holt started
the fire with one of his infernal ma
chines, a newa agency sent Capt Claret
the following wireless immediately:
"Reported here that the explosion on
our ship was caused by bomb. Kindly
wireless us what your evidence disclosed."
No reply was- receiv d from the Minne
haha. The Minnehaha is a floating arsenal.
Her munitions list, as copied from the
vessel's manifest on file in the customs
house. Is as follows:
Twenty-eight hundred cases of loaded
shrapnel shells, 1,723 cases of loaded
cartridges, 1,000 cases of cordite. 1,100

No more they hear Its clackety-clack

Every evening a policeman solemnly

morning the same policeman Or another,
as solemnly unlocks It,
Why? Well, the. devotees of "the old
town pump" would work that creaky
pump handle early and late; and every
body in the neighborhood, so the story
goes, was losing sleep; and when they
did sleep of course they dreamed of
trains that went clackely-clack, clackety
clack until they tumbled off a precipice.
Then the dreamer woke up on the floor.
So they petitioned the District, and now
the pump Is locked up at night Still
It's rather funny to lock up a pump

Chlasso, July 8. After a violent battle
lasting all day, the Italian troops took
Pedgora, a suburb of Gorizia. command
ing the railway bridge over the Isonzo.
On the slopes of Mount Calvarlo the
Austrians had constructed a series of
trenches and strewn the surrounding ter
ritory with every kind of entanglement.
The mountain had been made a veritable
fortress, against which the first Italian
Infantry attack was powerless to make
an Impression. Further attacks were
preceded by a well sustaned artillery
bombardment which lasted the whole
forenoon. At midday the Infantry again
entered into action and a desperate hand-to-hand
struggle raged until sunset. By
this time the Austrian resistance h id
been overthrown. Before dark the Aus
trians were in full flight, leaving many
prisoners and considerable booty.
The occupation of Pedgora marks an
important step In the operations against
Gorizia.

State Uepartment Learns Shelling or
Anglo-Californian Caused Loss
of Lives
According to a report received at
the State Department yesterday from
Consul General Skinner, at London.
. ...... .
two Americans lost their lives when
... w ,., , . ... . , r ,i.
the British steamship Anglo-Callfor-
nlan was shelled in escaping fronrsc

Germaasubmarine.
Since the United States govern-
rrtanr I Hfnrrf n rn n I A m tp that f ri
Anglo-Callfornlan, in running
in running from I
the submarine, exposed herself to the
gunfire from the underwater boat, it
is not now expected that the killing
of the two Americans will be made
the basis of further representations
to Germany. The case Is regarded
as a parallel with that of the Amer
ican, on board of which a number
of Americans were killed when the
vessel tried vainly to escape from a
German submarine.
According to Consul General Skin
ner's report, the Americans lost on
the Anglo-Callfornlan were lilchard
Martin, of Chelsea, Mass., or Provi
dence. R. I., and John Mahoney,
probably of 321 Third avenue. New
York. Both were members of the
crew of the British vessel.

London, July S- Re-enforced by fresh
hordes and supported by the Important
strategic railway at their rear, the Rus
sians in Southern Poland have developed
a violent offensive, which has. for the
time at least, blunted the Austro-German
drive on Warsaw and thrown the Teu
tons strictly upon the defensive. Before
vicious attacks by large Russian 'forces
the Teutons have fallen back from both
sides of the road to Lublin upon heights
north of Krasnik.
The losscSi on both sides are heavy.
The bloodiest fighting of the war Is go
ing on In the anijle north of the little
Polish town.

ing around Przemysl the Austro-German
s suffered an apparently decisive
check only a few days before the fall
of the city.
Arms Traffic Difficult.
The Teutons offensive west of the
Vistula continues unchecked, accord
ing to reports from Berlin. The
Russians are being pushed steadily
back and the western bank of the
river Is being cleared. The Teutons
are retreating on the plains west of
Manznik.
Despite a considerable Russian ex
penditure of shells In the fighting
now proceeding It Is not believed
that this can be kept up. It Is also
pointed out that owing to the stead
ily increasing Austro-German line of
communications it Is more difficult
than formerly to transport shells In
the great quantities by which Mack
ensen swept a path through Gallcla."
Temporary halts to replenish are to
be expected. It Is stated In Berlin.
Heavy fighting also continues
against Von Llnsingen's army which
now holds the western bank of the
Zlota Llpa. The Russians have di
rected a number of assaults against
his line, alt of which, according to
the statement received here from Vi
enna, have been repulsed. Fierce
fighting continues along the Bug and.
far to the south, on the Dniester, but
tho Germans and Austrians report
that they are keeping their front In
tact everywhere.
