Germans Willing to Satisfy United States of in Disavowal Act America Hopeful for Submarine Commander's Manner of Attack. It is believed that Germany desires to avoid a crisis with the United States over the sinking of the Arabic and is prepared to make amends for the action of her submarine in attack: ing without warning a vessel carrying American passengers. i President Wilson was- informed un. officially from sources close to Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassa- dor, that the next communication from Berlin on the sinking, will be of a character satisfactory to the United States. Coming close on the telegram, which the ambassador forwarded to the state department, by direction of : his government, declaring it was not the intention of Germany that any: American lives should be sacrificed’ in the sinking of the ship, this de- | velopment was regarded as indicat: ing that Germany would make some proposal, satisfactory to the United States respecting submarine attack on vessels purely of a passenger: carrying nature. ” Officials are at a loss to conjecture what the German government will] propose, but the assurance that there is every desire in Berlin to avoid a’ break with the United States has re: lieved the situation very much. Bet Heretofore, Germany has contended | that neutral lives could not insure a belligerent ship against attack, espec: | ially those carrying war IInIHOBE, In its reply to the first Lusitania note | Germany proposed to designate cer: | tain ships, which would be guaran: ! teed against attack, but the American government flatly rejected that pro: | posal. Officials are eager to know ! what position Germany would now | take without surrendering her con: | tended right to submarine warfare | against enemy commerce. The aim of President Wilson and | all administration officials to avold a | rupture with Germany, but to do so! witout any surrender of the neutral | rights for which the United States | has been contending in the name of; international law and humanity, was | reected by. officials informally while | discussing this latest phase of the sit: | uation. They were hopeful that a dis- | avowal of the submarine commander's | ect in sinking the Arabic without | warning would be forthcoming, : but ! the administration is ready to.listen | to Berlin’s next word. ; : TURKS SLAUGHTERED 14.000 | Armenians Drowned by Wholesale in| Black Sea. Nearly 14,000 Armenian Christians | ‘were killed by Turks: and, Kurds in | one. massacre: :at: Trebizond, : Asiatic | Turkey; according to Giacomo Gorrini | former Italian consul at “Trebizond, ' who arrived in Rome. ‘ “A decree published June 24, order- ing the massacre and internment of Armenians form the blackest page in Ottoman history,” declared Signor | Gorrini. “The result of this proclama. : tion was carnage on a big scale. Out of 14,000 Armenian Catholics and | Protestants in Trebizond, only 100 es caped. 1 saw thousands of women | and children placed upon boats which were capsized in the Black sea. Thou | sands of young Armenian women ! were forcibly compelled to become ! Mohammedans. There were suicides without end. Never shall I forget the | scenes of horror and woe I witnessed ! from June 24 to July 23, when I left.” ! + 25 a Day Starve to Deazn. Deaths by starvation continue in' Mexico City. Conservative estimates place them at twenty-five a day.

The German Army Headquarters An. nounce Further Gains in Poland Drive. The Russian advanced positions to the southwest of the fortress of Brest- Litovsk were broken through by the eGrmans, according to an official an- nouncement given out by the army headquarters staff in Berlin. The official statement follows: “North of the Niemen river 750 Russians were taken prisoners during successful engagements in the neigh: borhood of Birshi. “The army of General von Eich. horn is advancing victoriously to wards the east, fighting all the way. This army captured 1850 Russians and took seevral machine guns. “The army of General von Scholz reached Berecowka, captured Knys- zyn and crossed the Narew river to the south orf Tykocin. The army of General von Gallwitz captured the Narew river crossing on the Sokoly: Bialystok high road. Its right wing has reached Orkanka after having driven back the enemy. This army took more than 4700 prisoners, includ. ing eighteen officers and nine ma. chine guns. “The enemy attempted in vain ta bring Prince Leopold’s pursuit to a standstill. The Russians were attack: ed and thrown back into Bialowieska forest. South of this forest our troops reached the region to the east of Wie: rschowiecze. We captured more than 1700 prisoners. “Pursuing the defeated enemy, the army of Field Marshal von Macken: sen is approaching the hills on the western bank of the Besma, north of Brest-Litovsk. - On the southwestern front of Brest-Litovsk, at Dobbynka the Austro-Hungarian and Germa: troops broke through the advance. positions of the fortress. “On the eastern bank of the Bug, northeast of Vladova, parts of the army of General von Linsingen are advancing towards the north, fight ing all the way.” Admit Fall of Ossoweic. In accordance with orders received from the army authorities, the garri son of Ossowiec joined the Russian field army on August 22, evacuating the fortress after burning the wooden structures and removing or crippling the guns, thus ending a year of gal lant defence of the principal crossing of the Bobr river. War office officials, in commenting on the surrender of the fortress, pointed out that it was especially adapted for defence because of the marshes that surrounded it, but that | this fact would be one working to its disadvantage when the fortress was cut, off from the army, the marshy ground being unsuitable, for maneu vers and sorties. ’ Bialystok is said to be still in Rus sian hands, but a large part of the railway from the north and west is now in the hands of the Germans, and it is expected that they will make every effort to take Bialystok. Meanwhile, the Austro - Germans continue to press upon the flanks of the fortres of Brest-Litovsk from the north and south, and serious battles are developing in the vicinity of Pisc hea and Kovel.

A serial story constructed along entirely new lines will begin in the North American for Thurs- day, August %ta, and be continued a chapter a day. The title of the story is ‘Neal of the Navy;” the authoriis William Hamilton Oshorne, one of the leading American creators of fiction. Incident after incident of the most thrilling character combine to make the story grip the attention of the reader, and motion pictures based upon these incidents will be shown in-leading theaters, thus heightening the interest of the reader. The first episode of the story—the first six in- stalments and the first two reels of the motion picture—are based upon the catastrophe of Mount Pelee, and so successfully have they been written and planned that they send the story off at a rattling gait. The picture of the scenes described will include many feet of real volcanic eruption, one of the most marvelous bits of ac- tion ever shown on the screen. “Neal of the Navy” represents another de- parture. Never before has a writer of the stand- ing of Mr. Osborne written an original story with the purpose of having it screened. It marks a new departure and a new class of motion- picture play. .
