That there are real prospects of peaeo

on the subject It undergoing a distinct
change are the assertions made by H. w.
Masslngham. editor of the Nation, In this
week's Issue of his periodical.
"This week I have received a good
many Indications from traveled neutrals
of tho feeling of Germany," Mr. Masting
liarn begins. "They all agree In desorlb
In a general sobriety of tone. There
1st no orginlted peace propaganda and
too chance of organising It,
"Dut the Ideas of conquest, expansion,
even of Indemnities, nre lets extravagant
than they were In the first months of the
vrnfc .Beyond this there Is the distinct
erriergeticn of very different points of
View, Indicated by the war of the Tages
reltunv on the Chancellor, and the Chan-
eellor's suppression of tho Tagesseltung.
'ThUt, the financiers and business men
who support the new organization called
the Neues Vaterland aim at a better
understanding with England, as against
the Junkers, who vehemently disapprove
of It
"In a word, there Is a bigger volume of
Independent thought In Germany than the
ton of the Government-lea forces wouia
lead one to suppose. 'Germany,' said a
lladlcal leader the other day. 'Is living
In two worlds, the one encamped In the
mob psychology of the great cities; the
other maturing Its thought In quiet.'
"Hut tho more silent party seems to
grow In strength unless the German vic
tories In the East deplete and discourage

opposition to tho war. It Is thought that
If Dr. Karl Llebknecnt came up for re
election Just now, ho would easily be re
turned. "At tho bottom of this division of
thought lies a real desire for peace, and a
reeling tnat tho thinners of Europe of all
nationalities ought to come together and
exchange Ideas, so that when the peace
wave reaches tho Government there would

'Tubllc opinion In Germany unani
mously favors continuing the use of the

TIRPITZ AND JAGOW REPOIITED
AT ODDS OVER NOTE TO U. S.
BERLIN, June 24. Admiral von Tlrpltz,
director of Germany's submarine war
fare, was called Into conference today by
rorelgn Secretary von Jagow on the
reply to the American note. The confer
ence lasted two hours, and later the Ad
miral visited Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg.
The fact that the Admiral went dlreat
from the Foreign Oftlco to that of tho
Chancellor led to rumors that the naval
head and Herr von Jagow were at odds
over the tenor of the reply to the Amer
ican protests.
The Admiral Is said to oppose making
any concessions, while the Foreign Sec
retary, it is reliably reported, advocates
certain modifications In the submarine
campaign which will prove satisfactory
to the United States.
The Chancellor Is understood to sharo
Von Jagow's views at this time, but
events are being watched with Interest
to learn, whether he will alter them.

WASHINGTON. June 26.
The seriousness of the situation Ameri
can importers face, ns a result of the
Allies' embargo on shipments of goods
from Germany, was represented to. Sec
rotary Lansing today by a New Yoik
delegation headed by Leo Kohns, of L.
Strauss & Sons.
A petition for relief, which his visitors
laid before the Secretary, declared the
firms which the latter represented had
150,000,000 worth of German products,
which they actually have paid for, ready
to ship from neutral European ports.
They cannot get them, however, owing to
the danger of seizure by tho Allies' wnr
shlps. No general recommendations wero
made, but the Secretary was assured thit
unless some remedy could be found for
existing conditions, many Importers would
lose their business and suffer complete
ruin.
In reply Mr. Lansing said the Admin
istration would do nil In Its power to help
me importers, no explained, however,
that the Government did not want to
engage In anything which might look Ilka
bargaining with the Allies, inasmuch as
to do so would perhaps be Interpreted as
recognition of their embargo. Such recog
nition, ho stated. It was highly Important
t avoid, the American position being that
the embargo Is an absolute violation of

WOMEN FAINT AS BATHTUB
MURDER IS ACTED IN COURT
ROME, June 26.
Austria's counter-offensive against the
Italian forces on the frontier has begun.
According to advices received from the
front, four new corps of Auetro-Hun-garian
troops have Joined the armies of
the dual Monarchy, Increasing to nearly
600,000 the strength of Italy's enemies.
Virtually every position taken by the
Italians In their advance during the early
days of tho campaign Is now under fire
from Austrian artillery. The bombard
ment is fiercest at Predll Pass, where the
Italians are trying to press forward to
flank the enemy farther south. The Aus
trlans have mounted guns high In tho
mountains which sweep overy road. Two
of these were captured Wednesday night
by daring Alpine forces of Italy. They
climbed tho precipitous mountain side and
took the Austrian defenders by surprise
Just before dawn.
The climb of the Italians required eight
hours. There were 80 men In the party.
Five were killed and ten wounded.
Clearing tho way for a real Invasion ot
Austria along the route used in ancient
times by the Huns' for their raids upon
Italy, King Victor Emmanuel's army Is
steadily progressing.
Italian forces nre advancing both from
the west along the Fella Valley and from
the south through Predll Pass toward
Tarvls.
From Javorcek, which Is about MOO feet
high, the heavy artillery of the Italians
la sweeping tho valley below as far as
Plezzo, which lies four miles away In a
direct line. The big guns also dominate
the whole valley of the upper Isonozo
river ana threaten Predll fort.
Though tho defenses did not prevent
Napoleon from passing this position In
1797, thoso fortifications nnd also those In
the Fella Valley were strengthened and
co-ordinated In 1904. Tho Hermann and
Raibl forts have been provided with tho
best modern artillery of the widest range.
The plan of General Cadorna, ;he Ital
ian commander In chief, seems to be to
attempt an Invasion of Austria through
the region around Tarvls, threatening the
right wing of the Austrian army having
headquarters at Lalbach, and obtaining
as an Immediate consequence relief from
tho pressure of tho Austrian forces
massed along the Tolmino-Gorlzla-Trlesto
front.

Dramatic Scene During Trial of
"Modern Bluebeard."
LONDON. June M.-Threo women
fainted In court today when the death of
Alice liurnham, one of the wives ot
George Joseph Smith, the "bathtub mur
der" defendant, was enacted before the
Jury by Dr. L. T. Billing, of Blackpool.
Several other persons on the verge of col
lapse had to be assisted from the room.
The acting of the tragedy was staged
with great effect by the prosecution.
Doctor Billing used a bathtub similar to
that at Blackpool In which SmlthVj wife
was found dead. As he set forth the
gruesome details many of the women In
the courtroom became hysterical and the
trial had to be suspended until they could
be removed.
Two of the Jurors roso from their seats
while the tragedy was being acted out
and took notes from the physician's testi
mony. In concluding hU evidence, Doc
tor Billing asserted hit belief that Alice
Burnham had been drowned.
The second witness against Smith was
Police Superintendent Lemls. Ho de
clared that Smith showed no trace of
emotion when questioned about the death
of his wife, and said that tho defendant
was callous when signing the nworn
statement as to the tragedy,
On cross-examination, Doctor Billing
admitted that fatty affection of the heart
might have caused Smith's wife to become
dltsy and faint In the bathtub.
With the Introduction of evidence to
show that the will of Alice Burnham
gave Smith $3009, the trial shifted to the
death of Elizabeth Lofty. Smith's third
wife. After her marriage and death had
been established, the trial was adjourned
until Monday.

GREEKS DESIRE REGENT
DURING KING'S ILLNESS
MILAN, June 26. Telegrams from
Athens ntate that the immense majority
of the nation desires that a regent be np-
poimea, as tne uing will be unable to
direct affairs of state for tho long weeks
which may be fatal to the Interests of
Greece In this crisis of her history.
It la believed that, In spite of the influ
ence of Queen Sophia, a sister of tho
Knioer, who threatens to leave Greece If
war Is declared against Germany, the
Crown Trlnce would follow the policy of
ex-Premler Venltelos. Others regard him
as too young ana wouia prefer his uncle,
Prince George.
That Turkey regards the situation as
critical, but fears rather tho attack of
Bulgaria, Is proved today by the feverish
hasto with which Adrlanople Is bclng.put
in a defensive condition. Tho garrison
has been reinforced by 60,000 men.

Yacht and motorboat enthusiasts are
watching with great Interest the result
of tho trial trip of C. P. Vaucloln'a yacht
Southwark, to bo held this afternoon on
the Delaware River. The craft Is tho
first of Its kind In these waters to be
tfiulpped with a Diesel type engine. This
style cnglno has been used with wonder
ful success on merchant and war vessels.
The engine burns oil Instead of coal or
gnsollno and considerably reduces the
expenses of operation.
Iludolph Diesel, a native of France,
employed by tho Krupp Company, of
Germany, was tho Inventor of the Diesel
engine. Ho perfected his model In 1807.
Norwegians wore the first to recognize
Its value to large ocean-going vessels,
nnd now havo a fleet of oil-burners on
the seas. Since the Diesel patent expired,
several years ago, there have appeared on
the market mnny similar engines.
In the Southwark there Is an adapta
tion of the Diesel patent by Leonard a.
Harris, and It Is known by tho name of
the Southwark-Harrls Valveless Engine
Diesel Principle. Only two other yachts
in this country are equipped with simi
lar engines.
The tests of the Southwark this after
noon, under the auspices of tho Southwark
Foundry and Machine Company, builders
of the engines, are expected to show that
the cost of operation will be one-fourth
that of coal burners nnrf nnn. thirteenth
less the cost of gasotlne-propolled craft.
Crudo oil for tho operation of tho 150
horsepowor onglncs on tho yacht cost 2V5
cents a gallon, while gasolino costs 13
cents a gallon. The fuel for the Harris
engine enn bo stored In a comparatively
small apace without danger. The engine
takes up little room and can be started
and stopped with the utmost celerity. It
costs notmng when not In uso. It can
be used to pump In case of a leak and to
generate electricity for uso about tho
craft.
Mr. Vauclaln recently purchased the
yacht In New York. It Is 08 feet In length,
18 feet beam, with a draft of 7 feet. It
has been newly upholstered nnd fitted
with every means for the safety and com
fort of the guests.
The,,J'tn!!t of the tr,nl tr,P will be from

t?e velBnt" of the Meuse now appear
" " " otom! oi me nercest nghtlng in
the western battle front. The Calonne
trench here Is the object of assault and
counter-assault.
The Germans, the Paris official report
says, forced their wav n th. nnt ,..
the using of asphyxiating bombs and
flaming liquids, only to bo driven out
within a short time. The Derlln claim
Is that the operations here were begun
by the French and that a trench was re
taken by the Germans.
No.w that the Russian armies havo met
with such reverses from the standpoint
of the Allies, the western theatre seems
to be the only quarter which holds out
the possibilty of a decisive action during
tho summer.
Tho French nnd German claims rela
tive to the lighting on tho western front
aro widely at variance. Military observ
ers hero believe that the French still
have their eyes on Lille, with tta fac
torles and railroad lines, and advance the
theory that the recurrent and persistent

this.
PETROGRAD, June 2.-Thrlillng de
tails of a fight between a Russian sub
marine and a squadron of German war
ships are given in an official statement
Issued here today. The submarine tor
pedoed ono of tho German warships, but
Immediately afterward collided with Its
victim, sustaining severe damage. Despite
the damnge, the submarine managed to
escape.
The official report of the submarine's
exploit follows:
ine suDmarine picxea up tne smoxe
of the enemy's vessels on the horizon at
9 a. m, When she had approaohed within
suitable distance the submarine dived.
By means of Ita periscope It learned that
German warships made up a squadron
of 10 ships of the line and two torpedo
boats. "To prevent tho enemy from seeing tho
periscope tho submarine commander de
cided to steer to tho port side of the
squadron between the enemy nnd the sun.
Knowing that German torpedoboata trail
a special explosive contrtvanco for tho
destruction of submarines, her com
mander decided to mako a frontal attack,
"Keeping tho periscope abovo tho
water, tho submarine approached the
leading torpedoboats and about 10 o'clock
passed on the port sldo at a distance
from 5 to 60 yards, tho periscopo being
kept six Inches above the water.
"Wishing to operato outside of the line
of torpedoboats, tho submarine drew to
tho left under the prow of the Becond
torpedoboat and sank to a depth of 60
feet. At this point tho crew distinctly
heard the nolso of the warship's screws'.
At a depth of 35 feet the submarine
again raised Its periscope, at this mo
ment sighting the starboard side of the
leading warships, which were cutting
across the course of tho submarine at
a distance not more than B0 yards.
"The submarine commander ordered
the boat to dive again nfter flrinir n. tor
pedo. The firing of the torpedo was Im
mediately followed by n collision. A
terrible crash wao heard. Tho whole
submarine trembled, Electric bulbs
burst. Crockery and nil kinds of arti
cles flew about. Something abovo
cracked and gave way.
"The submarlno listed 25 degrees to
the starboard and the sailors wero un
able to keep their feet. They clung to
anything they could nnd.
"Nevertheless, all orders were carried
out with speed and accuracy, and the
submarine was kept at full speed. Owing
to tho fact that It was tho hull of the
vessel which struck the submarlno she
was able to regain her balance beneath
the battleship.
"The, submarine went down 75 feet
bolow the sufrace, but there was a loud
explosion, und the commander, fearing
mm mo ooai wouia collapse, owing to the
water pressure, rose to a depth of 60
feet. Then the sound of n. larcrn vmuui
nearby compelled him to dive again to a
depth of SO feet. Repeated attempts to
rise were vain for some time. Every
time tho submarine rose the crew heard
tho screws of the battleships and tor
pedoboats, which had broken their lino
and which were cruising back and forth
above tho submarine.
"When water began to enter tho sub
marine, probably owing to damage to
the periscopo, and the boat began to lose
her list, her commander ordered that the
supplementary tank be blown out. To
ward midnight, taking advantage of the
darkness, the submarine rose carefully
to the surfaco and made -for shore. It
was under water from 7:20 p. m. until
11:30 p. m. Tho damage to tho periscope
prevented the submarine from ascertain
ing the success of Its attack."

OFFICIALS RE8ENT BRITISH
IMPUTATION AGAINST U. S.
WASHINGTON, June 28.
Irritation against British interference
with American trade Is Increasing. ThU
is evidenced by tho letters reaching tho
government departments from every sec
tion of the country. It Is accepted hero
that, as a consequence, the new protest
to England, now under preparation by
Secretary of State Lansing, will be ex
pedited. It would cause no surprise If
It were Bent forward soon nftcr Presi
dent Wilson returns to Washington. Only
a sharp German rejection of America's
domands will changd this program, and
all accounts from Berlin Indicate that
Germany has decided on a policy of con
ciliation. OfTlclals who havo followed the eltua
tlon closely resent the British Foreign
faith. Tho charge that this Government
is conspiring to help American export
ers hoodwink tho Allies nnd keep Ger
many supplied with needed goods. In de
fiance of the British order In council.
which Is Implied In tho Inst memoranda
handed to Ambassador Pnga In London,
caused bitter Irritation, and It Is certain
that the British Government will be told
eo In unmtsUkable terms.
Tho United States has positively refused
to rocognlzo the Allies' right to proclaim
a blockade of Germany by Indirect meth
ods. Furthermore, this Government has
told Great Britain frankly that It con
sidered Its right of free and unlimited
trade with neutral countries guaranteed
by international law and existing treaties.
This view England has declined to In
dorse, and In her latest memorandum took
