Alleged Attempt to Kill or Kld- ! n&p British Envoy Receives Close Attention Guards Keep Alert Watch on Em bassy. WASHINGTON, July 13. Though it Id true that the United States peeret Service suspects a widespread antl Allies' terrorist plot In this country, It hap not yet niado sufllclent progress with Its Investigation to have definite proof. It Wad learned here on good authority today. That thla supposed conspiracy Included kn attempt to kill or kidnap British Am bassador Spring-nice on Ills way by auto, mobile from J P. Morgan's to Wlllard Straight's residence on Lontr Island Mon day night, July 5, could not be verified. The British Embassy denied absolutely that anything of the kind happened, and Secret Service omclals said nothing of the Jtlnd had been renortnrl fn thm There was also a formal ofllclal denial that the Ambassador was being especially parded. In fact, however, It was known l 1., . tn 8cret Service and the Washington police Were keeping a moro Jhaft usually alert watch on the embassy, although It was being done as unosten tatiously as possible. Even persons in Hose touch with the police were not sure, however, t(iat this was because of any actual attempt against the Ambassador, feay(nc that It might be simply a general precaution, accentuated because of the threat to kill him contained In the Now Orleans "Pearce" letter. Concerning the Secret Servloe'a suspi cion that an organized conspiracy exists to plant bombs on ships leaving American porta under the Allies' flags there was leso mystery. More of these attempts-most of them frustrated-were said to have occurred than has been made public Officials Jr understood to held the opinion that, while Individual crahks might have been considered responsible if there had been Only one or two such cases, there had been so many and of so nearly the same character as 'strongly to suggest a single master mind behind all of them. The theory that Frank Holt, J. P. Mor gan's assailant, was the tool of such a Conspiracy, It was known, has at least peen taken into consideration. Reports that startling development lind Important arrests were Immlpont pould not be positively confirmed, but iney were persistent and came from sources likely to be In possession of In side information. MEANING OF MOVES IN TODAY'S WAR NEWS The gains made by the Germans in the HghUnc near Sotichez, north of Arras, are to be considered ns a serious setback for the French troops in their struggle to cap ture Sotichez, a highly important link in the German defenses. In capturing the cemetery near Souchez and strengthening their position by further gains reported In today's dispatches, the Germans have made the task of the French a great deal harder. The Souchez fighting cannot be considered as a Gertnan offensive. It is rather an offensive-defensive, designed to thwart the plans of the French to break through the German lines toward Lille and Lens, two im portant railroad centres supplying the German right. The strategic Interest on the cast front has been transferred from southern to northern Poland. It is now evident that the Ger mans are preparing to direct a terrific drive on Warsaw from the north. The attacks on the fortress of Ossowietz bv the forces of Field Marshal von ilindenburg indicate that the Germnns are determined tr pursuo their assaults on the Vlstula-Bobr front until they find a weak place through which to split the Russian armies operating in the north In twain and launch a drive on the Polish capital. Such a move, from present indi cations, would be undertaken si multaneously with another Ger manic advance from the south along the Vistula-Bug line. This plan of the Austro-German cam pa'gn Is discerned from the prepa rations now under way by both the Austro-Germnns and the Russians. This sudden change in the plan of the Germanic campaign has brought the operations in south east Gallcia, where Von Linsingen has failed to dislodge the Russians, to a standstill. 1 L ,' y -) ifllH I MIMlll mIbIi II - n NAVY YAM) OMMLS HOLD CONFERENCE ON CITY'S "DOPE" DIVES Captains and Other Au thorities Meet to Obtain Information From Agents of Department of Internal Revenue. according to William F McCombs, Demo cratic National chairman, has baited its hook with $100,000 as a cash contribution to the Democratic committee funds If Mr. McCombs can orrango to get the conven tion there Dallas, furthermore, pledges a coliseum big enough to hold 25,000 persons MIGHTY GROWTH v IN CITY'S EXPORTS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ASKS FOR CONVENTION Continued from Fare One Was raised.

Anqther rumor which la running rife Is that the WH1U1IUII Captains of the various war vessels at League Island, together with officials of the marine corps, attended a conierence In the office of the commandant. Captain J J. Knapp, today, for the purpose of learning from a deputy In the Federal Department of Internal Revenue the dan gers to which seamen on leave nre buu Jccted In the drug peddling resorts of tho Tenderloin. . Th mnttrmte. which was held this I morning, Is the outcome of a. visit paid to the omclals by the deputies of the Inter nal Revenue Department aunng an in vestigation made following the death of James A. Burns, seaman of the battleship Illinois, who succumbed Monday night to the effects of drugs after dining In a ten derloin restaurant known as the "Subma rine " Evidence given at a hearing of a man and a woman accused of furnishing the sailor with heroin Indicated that a drujr was placed In the seaman's drink. The visit of a deputy. Investigating the dentil for the Internal Revenue Depart ment, disclosed to the commandant that there are a number of resorts In the Ten derloin In which drugs are dispensed and that Tenderloin characters who may be found In these place are largely given to tho practice of "sailor rolling," which la tho Tenderloin expression for drugging and robbing. While the officials at the Navy Yard suspected the existence of these notorious resorts, they were not In a position to learn of their exact where abouts and could not warn the men to avoid them. At the conference today the exact loca tion of each of the places at which drugs aro peddled and In which It Is generally unsafe for a sailor with money to remain for any length of time was given to the navy officials by the Internal Revenue Department. The denartment Is in pos session of facts concerning the Tenderloin and Its dangerous resorts that are not known to others. Following tho passage of the Harrison drug act, Investigators from the department learned the where abouts of every dive In which habit-form-Ing drugs are offered for sale. This Infor mation was laid In great detail before the navy officials today. Tho purpose of learning the location of drug selling dives Is simply to put the navy yard omclals In a position to warn tho men of tho United States service what locations to avoid Tho wild rumor that a largo number of sailors and ma rines were addicted to drucs has hoon not ac rest oy tne commandant himself. "Tho men of the service," he sold, "are, at tho worst, only as bad as the same number of men outside are bad. We nro all human, and whether we serve tho Government or servo only ourselves thcro oro some of us who will go bad In spite of all that can be done to prevent It On the whole, I do not bellove the men of the navy yara nero are quite as wild as an equal number of men chosen at random throughout the city. The reason for this is that wo arc more strongly disciplined here than outside, and It Is always pos- didio to cnecK an inrractlon before It reaches a serious stage.

AUSTRIAN AVIATORS SHELL DOGES PALACE IN RAID UPON VENICE LONDON. July 13. Kcarful losses were suffered by the Turks In last week's battles on Oalllpolt peninsula, a correspondent of the Dally Chronicle estimating the Ottoman casual tics at 7000 killed and between 14,000 and 15,000 wounded. The correspondent de clares that the Allies' victory marks n definite stage In the Initial work of throw ing forces around Achl Baba, which may now without exaggeration bo described an one of the strongest fortresses In tho world. The Allies had been resting In comparative tranquillity and the Turks, inereiore, eviaenuy were persuaded that thoy were experiencing a shortage of am munition. This belief apparently con vlnced the Turks of the excellent oppor tunity to drive the Invaders Into the sea. They made seven separate assaults, but In each case were thrown back. Dispatches received from Lemnos to day glvo further details of the battle. They stato that tho fury of tho TurkB- attacks did not diminish until they had been completely defeated. Tho main attacks were upon the French positions British officers, whe watched the assaults, assert that greater bravery was never shown than that dis played by the Ottoman troops.

Thaw now is a hypnotist. That Is the latest contention of the State In ita effort to combat Thaw's suit to prove his sanity in the Supreme Court and to have him returned to Matteawan. "Thaw has tried to hynotlze me time and again in this trial," Dr. Austin Flint, tho State's chief alienist, said on the wit ness stand today. "He has stared at me IS minutes at a stretch In on effort to hypnotize me." There was a roar of laughter In the courtroom at this assertion, and Justice Hcndrlck threatened to clear the room. "You do not seriously mean," said the .??: "L . that you believe Thaw tried to hypnotize you?" "I most certainly do," Insisted the alienist. The long and oftentimes conflicting tes timony of Doctor Flint today left the '""' auijr puzzieo. at to the value and efficiency of expert testimony. Flint's grilling was continued this afternoon. "Thaw has shown no Insanity of any form hero in this court," he told John B. stanchneld. Governor Figures Prominently in Conference of Eepublican Leaders in New York.

According to reports from the front, the Austrlans are making desperate ef forts to penetrate Italy through the Carnlc Alps. They are relying chiefly upon nignt nttackB. which ao far in variably have failed. The Italians have reported by redoubling their efforts against all tho forts' protecting the Pusterla Valley along the River Drave, ns with the occupation of Innlschen or Toblach on that river and on the rail way line, Trent could be resupplled only through Innsbruck. After havlnc bombarded Platzwlfn nnrt the newly terraced Fort Landro, the most Important of the system of fortifications closing th'e great Alemagna road, leading to Austria, tho Italians aro now giving their attention to the forts forming the flank protection of that highway. These ore nil armored, and each Is divided into two sections, ono provided with armored casemates for long-range cannon and the other with machine guns for near defense. All have steel cupolas. According to an Innsbruck HinnntMi u uermans are concentrating a new army under command of General Lundendorf In tho vicinity of Munich. Its destination Is said to bo Trent. Tho Russians are returning to Italy about 6000 Italians who were held prison ers in Gallcia by the.Austrians.

League Island, they feel, offers unusual facilities in the aviation field, and they reallzo that tho movement will mean added Impetus to aviation as well as to the submarine field. The New York Shipbuilding Company, of Camden, has advised Secretary Daniels that Its plants aro now equipped for tho construction of submarines, and has nsked the Secretary to hold up contracts for the 18 new submarines which were to be let next month, In order to give tho company an opportunity to submit esti mates A similar request has been mado by the Newport News Company. Plans for enlarging tho plant of the New York Shipbuilding Company In Cam den and equipping It so completely that It 'will be one of tho greatest centres for building submarines In this country, have been submitted to Secretary of the Navy Daniels by Samuel M.
