Reiterate Claim They Have

BERLIN DOESN'T. DENY
THE ASSERTIONS
Russians Claim Capture of
1,500 Between Vieprz '
and River Bug
The German endeavor to capture War
saw, pushed forward with notable energy
for a period covering more than two
weeks, has not made any material prog
ress since last Tuesday, according to re
ports from Petrograd, London and Ber
lin. On the contrary, the Russian au
thorities in their latest official announce
ment, reiterate their claims that the Ger
man advance movements in the direc
tion of the Polish capital have been
checked and they specify when and
where. The Berlin announcements do
not dispute Petrograd.
Going into details, the latest Russian
report recites the favorable outcome to
advance guard engagements near Mitau
in Courland and says the Germans Bre
continuing their efforts to cross the Nar
ew river at a point near Novogorod,
north of Warsaw. The line of the left
bank of the Narew has seen spirited
fighting, but remains unchanged, and to
the right of Narew the German attacks
have been repulsed.
Between Vieprz and the- river Bug
there has been stubborn fighting, in
which the Russians claim ' success an
the capture of 1500 German soldiers,
Near the Galician frontier, north of
Lemberg, the Germans made determined
attempts to advance, but were drive
back, according to the Russian war of
flee.
The French official statement to-day
reports minor activity, but no fighting of
any importance, while the latest Italian
announcement says the progress of the
Italian forces on the Carso plateau have
been satisfactory and that they have
been successful in minor encounters.
Minister of Munitions Lloyd George,
addressing a meeting of the coal opera'
tors in New London to-day laid particu
lar stress upon the need of coal for the
successful conduct of the war. He de
clared events in the east meant that a
larger share than ever of the burden of
the struggle was to be east on the ghoul
ders of Great Britain, and that the coun
try must pay the price of victory if it
meant to be victorious.

with the United SStates and of titking
whatever steps t..ey can to that end,
Deevlopments in the American nego
tiations with Great Britain will unques
tionably have a rellex action on the uer
man-American situation. German states
men aro awaiting eagerly to ascertain
whether the American note to England
is as stiff in tone as that to Germany,
before making a final decision on the
German policy. Meanwhile mo success
of the submarine campaign are again
being brought into the foreground of
public interest.

BLOCKING NEUTRAL PORTS.
Is Right which Great Britain Will Con
tend For.
Washington, D. C, July 29. Defense
of the right of a belligerent to blockade
a neutral port through which an enemy
io receiving supplies or" attempting to
market his own products is the chief ar
gument to be made in the supplemental
note which Great Britain is preparing
to send to the American government.
All other ' issues than that of the
blockade of neutral ports, it is learned,
will be regarded by the British govern
ment as subsidiary and proper for later
discussion. Upon recognition by neu
tral governments of the principle from
the British viewpoint depends the aba
lty of a belligerent which has other
wise established control of the seas to
profit by the enormous expenditure and
sacrifice which made possible that con1
trol. The matter is all-important in
the British view.
Two developments not discussed in
the original note will be taken up- in
the supplemental communication. The
hrst of these is the American Caveat
of July 17, conveying the notification
that the United f-'tates would not rec
ognize the orders-in-council as a sub
stitute of the provisions of international
law. ,
, The second, point arose in connection
with the enforced unloading on the Lon
don .docks of the cargo of the American
steamer Necheg June 24. The ship was
en route from Rotterdam to New York
with a cargo of non-contraband, mostly
of German and Belgian origin. It in
cluded several thousand prayer books,
rabbit skins, drugs and even some cot
ton. The British government asserted the
right under its blockade of Germany
and that part of Belgium at present un
der German control, to prevent any
goods from, being exported, the sale of
which might aid the enemy iinanoially
Because the principal British argumen
is directed to that phase of the right
of blockade which affects goods sought
to be introduced into an enemy a coun
try, it is believed that the British for
eign office felt it necessary to supple
ment the original note by an argument
extending the claim to cover the case of
goods exported from the enemy country
through a neutral port.
Civil war precedents in regard to the
right of blockade form the chief basis
of the British argument, attention be
iug especially called to the famou
Springfield case before the United
States supreme court developing the
continuous voyage" theory. Incident
ally, it is contended by Great Britain
that execution of these orders-in-coun
has not resulted in any damage to Amer
lean trade. According to the British
government that trade has waxed enor
mously large since the beginning of the
war.

WILL DEMAND DAMAGES
For Destruction of Steamer Leelanaw
and Her Cargo.
Washington, D. C. July 29. With the
receipt late yesterday of a virtually
complete report of the torpedoing of the
Ymenean steamer Leelanaw by a Ger
man submarine state department offi
cials began the preparation of a note
to Germany requesting the payment of
damages on the ground that the Prli
sian-American treaty of 1828 had been
lolated.
A report from American Consul Wen
ison at Dundee, Not., brought to light
the fart that the captain of the Lerla
naw attempted to escape, but submit
ted to visit and search after warning
shots were fired. The right to escape,
officials declared, is conceded by inter
national law, only repeated atempta to
evade rapture or forcible resistance be
ing regarded a affecting the case.
Unofficial reports that the (ierman
submarine commander waa unwilling to
jettison the cargo of the Ijeclanaw and
to allow her to proeerd as the treaty of
flZH provide, cleared up doubts here
on this point.

At Plant of the Becker Milling Co. at
Hyde Park, Mass.
Boston, July 29. Some 600 machinists
and other employes struck to-day at the
plant of the Becker Milling Machine
company in Hyde Park, because of the
refusal of the company to grant de
mand for the increased wages of ap
proximately 20 per cent, and reinstate
men who are discharged employes.
The plant has been operating night
and day recently, filling orders for ma
chines to use in the preparation of war
materials.
A meeting of the strikers was held im
mediately, at which the committee re
ported that certain concessions had b-v.n
offered by the company, and a debate of
them commenced. Former Governor Foss
is president of the company.
FIND ONE REVOLVER.
But Probably Not the Weapon With
which Girl Was Shot.
Middlebury, July 20. The belief that
young John Wilniarth, who is wanted
for the shooting of Miss Stella Cross
Sunday evening, has committed suicide.
lias been given up and it is now sup
posed that the act waa premediatcd. The
shooting was done with a 32 calibre re
volver. Wilniarth was known to have
a 32 calibre, which was found yester
day in a search of his home by Sheriff
unn A. Mnitn.
It is supposed therefore that he secret
ly procured the 32 calibre revolver, and
a search is now being made to discover
where he secured the weapon.
A reward of friO for the capture of
Wilniartli has been oirered. It has been
said that lie bd planned to attend the
Panama-Pacific exposition at California,
and it is thought that he may be head
ef that way.
A postal card addressed to the mother
of Wilniarth was found yesterday upon
closer investigation of the coat in
the buggy left by Wilmarth in a pasture
near Dead ereelc. Written in a hand
that indicated a highly agitated state
young Wilmarth told his mother that
he was going away and that she would
never see him again.
The condition of Miss Cross is slight
ly better. She is able to take small
amount of nourishment. Her face is
somewhat disfigured as a result of the
wounds. i:
It was learned yesterday that on Mon
day morning as John Otis was haying in
West Addison a man answering the de
scription of Wilmarth ran across the
field into the woods. At the time he
did not know about the shooting, it
is said, and so thought little of the in
cident. sir
All Sheriff Smith's deputies and a mim
bcr of citizens, between 25 and 50 men
in all, have searched the territory for a
trace of the missing Wilmarth. Tues
day night a bicycle and a blanket were
stolen from the premises of Willis Palm
er, who lives about a quarter of a mile
from the home of Mr. and Mrs. wil
marth. It is thought that Wilmarth
may have taken ths bicycle to make
his escape. The Jiridport and Addison
Detective society have sent out men
to search for the bicycle.

Brandon, July 29. As some workmen

street quarry were about to commence
operations yesterday morning a man's
coat was found on a platform at the foot
of a long flight of step leading down
to the pump used to pump water from
the quarry. The pumps have not been

on the water, which is about 75 feet
deep, shout half filling the quarry.
A bottle about half full of carbolic
acid crystals waa also found by the coat.
Nothing found upon the coat gave any j

address torn off, and a pipe. The coat
was dark blue and rather worn.

notified and it was derided to use drag

of the supreme court last night denied

police lieutenant under sentence of death
for instigating ths murder of Herman

means thst Becker must be electrocuted

Justice Ford announced his decision at

He called the waiting newspapermen into

"I have denied the motion for a new

The justice added that he bad planned

STREET CAR SMASHED WAGON.
Driver of Vehicle Was Thrown to Street
- But Not Injured.
The seven o'clock main line car of
Barre 4: Montpelier Traction company,
piloted by Motorman George Howe and
Conductor Smith, struck a farm team
driven by Harold Fuller in front of the
Pavilion hotel, Montpelier, this morn
ing, throwing the driver to the ground
snd smsshing the wagon badly. Wit
nesses of the accident assert that the
car pushed the body of the team, which
carried farm products, for about 75 feet
before the trolley was brought to a
stop. The driver and horse, detached
from the body of the wsgon, escaped un
harmed.
The team is owned bv Thomas Heaphv
snd belong st the Pavilion farm at

trip to the hotel and was pursuing its
way up State street, going in the same
direction as the ear. It was when the

Washington, D. C July 29. The
French consulate at Cnpe Haitien, Haiti,
U menaced by revolutionists and a guard
from the United States auxiliary cruiser
Eagle has been landed to protect it.
This information was cabled to-day to
the state department by American Con
sul Livingston. . '
American marines were landed yester
day at Port Au Prince to protect tha
lives and property of Americans and
other foreigners. Rear Admiral Caperton
advised the navy department last nighb
that he had sent a force ashore from tha
Washington, Rear Admiral Benson, act
ing secretary of the navy, declined to
make the message public, but said:
"Caperton now has the situation ia
hand."
There was no firing at the marines,
although disorder continued in the city.
It was assumed a guard had been estab
lished at the French legation and at other
points to protect foreigners.
The mutilated body of President Guil-
laume, after being dragged through the
streets of Port Au Prince, was buried by
several women yesterday in a cemetery
outside the capital.
Admiral Caperton had reported by
wireless while en route from Cape Hai-
len that the situation at the latter place
was "very grave. the state department
received messages from Charge D'Affaires
Davis telling of the assassination of
President Guillaume by a mob .which
broke into the French legation.
This violation of the diplomatic im
munition which foreign legations enjoy
would be regarded ordinarily as a se
rious affront, but in view of the ab
sence of an established government and
the generally turbulent conditions, the
incident probably will not complicate tha
situation.
President Wilson has been giving e
rious consideration to the situation in
Haiti for several weeks. Paul Fuller, jr.,
sent to investigate conditions there, re
cently returned with a report that it
was impossible for him to negotiate a.
proposed treaty with President Guil
laume because of the latter's fears that
the populace would rise against him if
he signed it. It is known that the United
States attempted to arrange for the ad
ministration of the customs in ways anal
ogous to the American control of cus
toms in the Dominican republic.
