Official reports from Paris and Berlin
report merely Isolated local encounters
with artillery actions calculated only to
keep adversaries from debouching for
attack.
Unofficial accounts of the progress
of the fighting, particularly In North
ern France, however, indicate that the
wearing-down process to which the.
German line has Been subjected Is at
last showing results. German casual
ties on this front since the beginning
of June are estimated In these re
ports at no less than 100,000.
The German losses In the Souchez
region resulting from the recent de

described as "Incredible." Further to

successfully resisted terrific on

BOMBS, WORK OF HOLT,
FOUND IN SHIP HOLD
Nine Infernal Machines, Planted in
British Boat, Fail to
Explode.
New York. July la Nine dynamite
bombs, any one of which would have
sent the freighter to the bottom, were
concealed In the cargo of the British
steamer KIrkoswald when she left New
York on May 2 laden with sugar for
Marseilles. The unexploded Infernal ma
chines were found while discharging
cargo, according to officers who returned
today on the KIrkoswald.
It Is considered probable, that the
bombs were placed upon tho ship by
Frank Holt, the assailant of J. P. Mor
gan, or an accomplice.
Six bombs, filled with time explosion
devices, were discovered when a bag.
supposed to contain only sugar, burst
upon the Marseilles deck. The other
three were found when the cargo was
carefully examined.
The officers declare that a heating
device apparently was attached to the
bombs so that they would explode when
the vessel was In mid-ocean. They were
unable to discover why all the bombs
had failed to explode. The KIrkoswald,
which Iwlongs to the Fab re Line, sailed
from New York flvo days before the
Lusltanla was sunk. .,
The freighter. Lord Erne, which sailed
on the day following the departure, of
the KIrkoswald, had three bombs on
board, and two other vessels, upon
reaching the other side, were discovered
to have Infernal' machines In their holds.
All were bound for French ports.

Near Travelers from United States.
Br A. E. WALLACE,
War motion riciurc photoerapbcT, just returned

New York, July 10. Oreat sirens
shrieked their warnings from all parts
of the city. Immediately Illuminated
bombs shot upward from the Caxnpenello,
burst in the sky and spread their rays
in all directions, except downwards. Be
low, where all was darkness, hundreds
of machine guns barked In an Incessant
roar.
Our gondolier made all haste along the
Grand Canal to reach the Grand Hotel,
while his passengers. Including myself,
tore out the seats and held Them over
our heads. During a lull in the firing we
plainly heard the hum of an aeroplane
motor somewhere above. Then pande
monium broke forth again. Such li a
midnight air raid on Venice.
Palace Cased In Steel.
Venice the beautiful, the historic has
been converted Into a fortress. All llgnts
are ordered out at dusk. Troops are sta:
tloned on roofs to watch for lights with
oders to fire as soon as even the slightest
twinkle Is observed. The magnificent St.
Mark.'s Cathedral In St. Mark's square
has been encased In steel girders and
banked with sand bags to protect It from
the bombs of aviators.
The Doge's Palace has been treated
likewise. The Campenello, towering far
above Its surroundings, has a huge bomb
throwing machine on Its top not explo
sive bombs, but light bombs, which Illu
minate the skies and make easier the
work of the men behind the anti-aircraft
guns.
Arrested as Spy.
On my arrival at Venice from Rome It
ws my hope that I would be permitted
the free use of my motion picture camera
and "still" cameras. I found the situa
tion much more difficult than in Rome.
Venice was spy mad. It needed- but the
cry of "Austrian spy!" to endanger the
life of any pne in the streets.
I visited Admiral Can-all, who Is In
command of the defenses of the city, to
obtain a permit. He promised to see me
the next day. After I had been arrested
and released several times I "was given
a pass, but not a permit to make pic
tures. That I was to see the admiral
about on the following morning.
With an American and his wife, who
were staying at the Grand Hotel, I con
cluded to see Venice at night from a gon
dola. The night was one of those typical
of Venice. The city was bathed In most
beautiful moonlight. The absence of all
lights added to the effect. It was like a
city of the dead. Only patrols were met
with.
Protection A an Inst Arrow.
Returning to the Grand Hotel about 11
o'clock we heard the first warning of the
sirens. The gondolier gasped something
and trebled his efforts.

serves a high place In the Kingdom cf

Rev. L. M. Brubaker, president of the

"Mr. Rockefeller is doing good work
with his money. By their fruits ye shall

Mrs.. Maud Allen, of Wisconsin, replied:
"Mr. Rockefeller Is an abused man,
and Is living a Christian life."

American companion excitedly, and he
commenced to tear up the seats. This
I learned was done so they might be held
over the head as a protection against
steel arrows dropped by the enemy's
aviators.
Only a few minutes after this we hear
the whirr of an aeroplane. The Austrian
must have been flying dangerously low.
for us to have heard his motor in view
of the fact that the sirens were still mak
ing tho .night hideous and machine guns
rhad begun to rattle In various parts
of the city. We could not see him, how
ever. The sound died out In a few sec
onds. We Judged that he was flying to -
ward the artenal. for soon we heard guns
firing there.
Bomb's "Tidal Wave."
Several heavy explosions -from the
direction of the arsenal made us
lieve It had been hit. We learned,
later that .the Austrian had dropped a
particularly heavy charge near It.
We finally reached the hotel. Most of
the guests were standing trembling In
the halls and dining-room. Some of us
stood on the steps In the hope of catch
ing sight of an aeroplane. We didn't
see any. but we soon heard one. Several
bombs were dropped In the Grand Canal,
near the custom house, only about 109
yards from where we stood.
A great volume of water Tose In the
air to a dull roar and the next Instant
a small tidal wave from the canal bad
-swept upon us, drenching us to th
knee. We fled without ceremony.
On the following morning we learned
that part of the arsenal had been dc
strojed. a torpedo boat blown up, and
several of her crew killed and four or
five houses occupied by workmen em
ployed In the arsenal destroyed with
several score of deaths. In one of the
houses the only survivor was a baby,
which was dug out of the debris.
Rain of Air Darts.
As information about the raid com
menced to drift in we learned that only
two machines had composed the raiding
party. One of these had run Qut of petrol
and had landed near the arsenal. The
observer and the driver were captured.
The observer proved to be a former
Italian army officer, who had once been
employed in the Venice arsenal. He had
become Involved In some difficulties in
Italy some years before and had fled to
Germany. When the war broke out he
had enlisted fn the German aviation corps.
He was court-martialed and shot within
twenty-four hours.
Another interesting thing I learned was
that the Austrian aviators are using the
steel arrows originated by the French.
While we were standing before the Grand
Hotel during the air raid we had noticed
what appeared to be rain little splashes
in the canal. Later we found some of the
arrows about the hotel. They had In
scribed upon them "Invented in Franco
and used In Germany."

SWISS MARK OF QEBMAN IBE.
Closing of Frontier Dae to Discov
ery of Contraband.
Geneva. July 10. Swiss newspapers
state that It now appears that the
recent closing of the Swiss-German
frontier was due to German anger be
cause Switzerland seized a carload of
copper consigned to Germany, but
which was labelled "rice." The Ger
man minister at Berne warned the
Swiss authorities that grave results
would follow unless the car were re
leased but the Swiss government was'
unmoved.
Another Incident attributed to Ger
man wrath was the stoppage by Ger
many of a large number of postal
money orders sent to allied pris

Omaha, July io. Impeach
ment of President Wilson is
promised by the Omaha Trib
une, largest and most influen
tial German newspaper in the
West, if he brings this country
to the verge of war with Ger
many. Editorially the Tribune
today says:
' "Germany's note is a model
for courtesy and friendliness. It
ira fine contrast from the Eng
lish 'memorandum of Lord
Crewe, which was a model of
arrogance.
"What will Wilson do? We
would recommend to him to re
move his obstinacy. The Ger
man government has built him,
with this note, a golden bridge
upon wh;ch he can retire with
full honors. If he does not do
that then, he will prove that
he prefers war, and then the
American people will find legal
ways and means like during the
time of President Johnson, to
prevent the country from being
made the victim of a calamity.

GERMAN REPLY
CONDEMNED DY
ENTjRENAIiON
Berlin's Note, Though Friend
ly Tone Is Recognized, Meets
General Censure.
WILSON'S TASK GREATER
Negotiations with Empire Now
Understood to Have Passed
Out of Legal Stage.
i
PROPOSALS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Officials Unable to See How U. S.
Can Entertain Von Jagow's
Suggestions.
That President Wilson's problem- with
reference to the German submarine issue
has been more difficult than ever by the
note published yesterday was the con
sensus of opinion as It developed In of
ficial' quarters here yesterday.
It is generally conceded that the re
sponse made by Germany Is so .com
pletely a failure to respondjo the Presi
dent's demands, so lacking-as regards
the principles which he Invoked, and
Iier proposals so completely unacceptable
In the light of the stand taken by this
government that the Issue is now re
garded as one of policy, not of law. Con
sequently. It was felt that more than
ever before the decision rests almost
solely with President Wilson himself.
The President jesterday arranged to '
have Secretary of State Lansing bring""'
the official text of the German com
munication to his summer residence at
Cornish. The President, it is exDected.
will not be back In Washington to dis
cuss the matter with his Cabinet until
the latter part of this week.
Lanalna May Leave Today.
Ambassador Gerard cabled yesterday
that ho 'had sent the notelri'flve sec
tions, vft the legation at Copenhagen,
the last section having been put on the
cable In Berlin Friday night. It unex
pected that all of the note will be re-
j celved here some time today. Mr. Lan
sing Is likely to leave this evening; .
Though officials had Been prepared by
information given Ambassador Gerard,
and by press reports from Berlin, for
the proposals contained in the German
note, the effect produced by these was
not nearly so disheartening as that pro
duced by the receipt of the entire note.
It had been hoped that the complete
note would serve to mitigate the un
acceptabillty of the propoasls received In
advance. Instead, it Is felt that the op
posite has been the result.
The question asked everywhere here
yesterday was: What will the President
do about it? Owing to the fact that the
matter Is regarded as having passed
beyond the stage for further legal dis
cussion, the law officers of the govern
ment were unable to throw much light
on the question.
From the Indications of the last few
weeks officials are satisfied that there
will be no Insistent demand upon the
President that he break oft diploma tlo
relations with Germany.
White this Is recognized as still within
the range of possibility should the Ger
mans committ another attack upon Amer
ican lives, the proposal is not regarded
as being as much In the public mind aa
it was six weeks ago. In late May, there
was a sort of Informal understanding that
If Germany failed to respond in some
measure, at least, to the President's de
mands, (a rupture of diplomatic relations
would follow. The belief that such a
course is either wise or necessary is not
found to be so prevalent In official quar- '
ters now as then.
Middle Conrae to Be Sought.
Consequently. It Is felt that the Presi
dent must fmd a middle course, one which
will keep him from a surrender of the
United States' position, and at the same
time will not Involve this government-in
a course which the American people are;
not prepared to view favorably. What
that will be no one here has so far been
able to predict
The only suggestion In -this direction
Is that the President might briefly notify
the German government that the United
States felt It was useless to continue
the discussion further, express Its great
regret that Germany could not see her
way to meeting the United States on the
principles at issue, and then simply
state that this government would' have
to wait upon events as to her course In
the future. It is admitted that this
would not be a particularly forcible "
course, but. It Is asked, in view or the
fact that the country does not seem to
wish to resortto methods which might
compel Germany to accept the American f
view, what'else can the President doT
There appeared yesterday to be a dlvi- "
slon of opinion as to whether the, United
States can with hosnor and dignity at
tempt to continue, the discussion with
Germany. One view Is that this Is im
posrlble In the face or the German' re
ply. The other la that under no clrcum-j "
stances should President' Wilson take tho.ti
step o closing ine aoor to runner ais- &&
