WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 -Facing the probability that the Haitian factions will not seme tneir own ainorcnccs me Binto Department today was In readiness to establish a nrovlstonal government In the black republic by force of arms. Hear Admiral Cnperton has been directed ta continue his work of disarming the na tives Ills peace commission Is continu ing Its efforts to persuade the factions to Bet together. But In the event of failure It Is understood the united States has de cided who It will support and will cable , Cnperton Instructions along this line. The general situation shows Improve ment, tt Is stated, although the Cnno , Haltlen situation Is still serious. But . wltll plenty of well-armed bluejackets and marines, and with the Dig guns oi the squadron available to bnck them up, tt was felt today th6 worst is now over ' and that the question of restoration of a ; government that can govern and obtain foreign recognition has been materially simplified. GERMANY OFFERS PA Y FOR FRYE; DEFENDS ACT Continued from Pace One "constitute satisfaction for the 'violation of American treaty rights." In other words, Germany offers tu pay, but In do ing so will not consider that she had t violate a treaty with the United States it is maicatca nere mat tne united .States Government cannot accept set , tlcmtnt for the sinking of the Frye un- der such conditions, for It might be re garded as a yielding on the principles ; Involved, Germany's alternative offer.

They declared he had between TO.000 nnd 90,000 men un der nrms and wns prepared to Insist on his rights They also criticised the presence of Taut rullor nt the confer ence, declaring that he represented the jellglous element In Mexico and was prejudiced against the Carranslstas Officials, however, declared that ther did not take this protest too seriously If Carranza refuses to work along tne lines that the various nation Anally approve, he will be Ignored nnd his chief generals will be directly appealed to to favor the plan and support It. VILLA'S LOSSES DENIED, Tho Vlllleta agency late today Issued a complete denial that Villa's Army had tiMn ihnt to nlerea In recent engage ment They declare that not alone has there been no fighting at Zacatccai, but that there has been no serious lighting for weeks In that vicinity. Villa Is nt Chihuahua, they declare, simply to cor rect abuses and extortion by Mexican and foreign merchants there. Nogales Is quiet at present, they eay, following yesterday' righting, but Carranza Is bringing nn additional troops, prepared for & further attack there In violation of the promise that border territory was to be preserved Inviolate. General Car rasco, with 1500 men, they declare, has deserted Carranza and joined the VI Illflt as In Slnnloa It Is also denied that Flerro's fllng column has been wiped out at Qtictctaro. Tho army and navy wore preparing for any eventuality today. General Fred Funston was holding nil the forces under his command ready to move anywhere nlong the border to check marauding bands nnd to enforce any embargo that may be decided on Another battery of artillery was in route from Fort Sill to El Prtso nnd cavalry regiments nt sev eral points had been advised that they might get marching orders Bhortly. The suggestion that General Hugh Scott, chief of staff of the army, be sent to mediate between tho factions was gen "erally approved. Whether It will bo car ried out, however, was doubtful. Inas much as Tretldent Wilson Is Understood to feel that enough time has been wasted by personal envoys Ho Is very anxious to get the Mexican situation out of the tiny before Congress reassembles, realizing his political op. ponents expect to make It an Issue In anticipation of the coming presidential campaign. In this connection Ilepubllcans nro freely criticising the calling for a concert of the South American Powers at this time. In Iew of the Administration's re fusal In tho past ecn to consider such a plan. It Is charged that this action Is taken In an attempt to disarm politi cal criticism of the past Mexican policy and to forco support for a now program that could not be secured if it had not been given an International flavor. There Is no longer any doubt here that Villa has been severely defeated In nil his recent military operations. But omclals familiar with tho situation declared to day that now that he Is back In the north he will easily recruit a new army. .CARRANZA WARNED. Consul Sllllman has been ordered to warn Carranza that this Government will not consent tu his plan of deporting Americans who are obnoxious to him. Ho must have definitely proved charges against those he Interferes with at Vera Cruz, and they must bo permitted to close up their business affairs without In terference. In addition.

The German viewpoint Is: First That Russia has been dealt a blew that will nullify her offensive power fo a long time to come. Second. That England and France real ize their Inability to push the Germans out of France and Belgium, as evidenced by their Inactivity while Germany con centrates against the Slavs. Third. That the Dardanelles can never be forced. Fourth. That the Balkan situation Is satisfactory. Inasmuch as Bulgaria, ac cording to best available Information, has given assurance that she will remain neu tral until the end of the war. TUnKS GET SHELLS. This spirit of optimism Is shared equally by both Germany and Austria. Con stantinople advices report the situation satisfactory from the Turkish standpoint. The scarcity of shells which hindered the Turks' operations early In tho war has been remodled, The Turks ore now able to produce enough shells In their own munition factories to supply their needs, Tho situation at Athens Is being watched closely by German diplomats, but political circles here have little fear that Greece will abandon her neutrality. Various reports have reached here that the Venlzelos party, which is shortly to come into power at Athens, does not con trol the 70 majority credited to the former Premier following the recent elec tions, and that in all events would be unable to obtain a majority behind a war program. Other reports Indicate that Venlzelos, who was for war several months ago. Is not the same Venlzelos today, and that both he and King Constantlne now agTee that Greece should remain neu tral. The recent Austro-Qerman suc cesses have worked a profound and sobering effect upon the smaller Balkan units. GBEECE ANGERED Advices received here Indicate that the people of Greece are In no hurry to ally themselves with Great Britain, despite reports from English sources. The native Greeks on the Islands of Creta and Cy pern have tiled voluminous protests to Athens against British Interference with commerce.

'"'"L v jt mtmt jF" BRITISH SUBMARINES BURROW UNDER MINE FIELDS OF MARMORA Reign of Terror Created Prom Dardanelles to Gates of Constantinople by Daring Raids of Un dersea Craft. By HENRY WOOD BRUZA, Asiatic Turkey, July 24 (by courier to Dedeagatch, Bulgaria, and thenco by cable) Daring English submarine commanders, by burrowing beneath tho thickly mlnod v.ators of tho Dardanelles and eluding tho Turkish fleet, have created a reign of ter ror from the western entranoe to the Sea of Marmora to the very gates of Con stantinople. Exactly how many Turkish ships have been sent to tho bottom by British sub merslblcs probably is known only to tho Turkish Ministry of Marine. The under sea craft havo been particularly success ful In Btrlking at Turkish transports. En route here from Constantinople I learned that aboard ono of these sunk recently were 600 wounded Turks, who had just been discharged from Constan tinople hospitals- and were returning to the Gnlllpoll front. Only 150 were saved. Tho news was suppressed by tho Turk ish Government, but the disaster occurred In full view of another transport laden with wounded soldiers who made tbi fact known. READY TO MOVE CAPITAL. Bruza Is the Asia Minor city to which It was proposed to move tho Turkish cap ital in case Constantinople was threat ened. I came hero flrst on tho Friday boat of the thrce-tlmes-a-weok servlco from Constantinople, qcross tho Sea of Marmora. A few days previous tho boat from Bruza to Constantinople had actu ally been stopped and boarded by officers from a British submarine within a few miles of Islam's capital. The British officers wore looking for Turkish soldiers. Thoy found none, but took off what food supplies there were aboard, paying for thorn In English gold and saluting courteously as they left the ship. Because of tho fear Inspired by this visit our boat left tho Bosporus with the lifeboats swung out and with hundreds of life preservers hanging over the rail ready for Instant use. Instead of heading directly across the Sea of Marmora, the usual oourse, we crept along the coast for the entire distnnce, never getting mora than 200 or 300 yards from shore. On the following Monday, no more sub marines having been sighted, the captain took courage and we headed directly across the little sea on tho return to Constantinople. Peasants and provincial officials aboard the boat did not share the captain's ob timlsm and wo had scarcely left the lost protecting point of land when a shout rang out from the bridge. Tho signal bells clanged, the boat turned tail and fled for shore, and there was a wild scurry for life belts. The excitement lasted only a moment. There were countermanding orders from tho bridge and wo resumed our course Two miles off to the left a porpoise had leaped from the water. The Imagination of an officer who thought he saw a sub marine periscope did the rest I found tho same feeling of uneasiness on my second trip here. MANY PRECAUTIONS TAKEN. Farther south in the Sea of Marmora: where transports aro steaming to and from Galllpoll peninsula, the greatest precautions aro taken against the Eng lish submarines. Armed soldiers line the rails with orders to shoot at everything appearing on tho surface. This is tho season for tho porpoises to show their greatest activity, and the porpoise mor tality, consequently, is without precedent in the history of the sea. To safeguard them against submarine attack the hospital transports are all painted white with stripes of red running mo mil icusin, ine itea crescent is the official symbol of the Turkish Red Cres cent Society, which corresponds to the Rod Cross. But the Turks have more faith In the Red Cross than In tho Red Creecent and fly the Red Cross flag an soon as they are, out of sight of Con stantinople. Returning to the capital, the hoi.pltal ships hoist the Red Crescent as they approach the Bosphorus. The police are confident that the Brit ish "subs" have a base somewhere In the Sea of Marmora and that come one of the few hundred English remaining In Constantinople Is supplying this base with petrol. Hardly a day passes that some Englishman is not celzed and hauled off to undergo a "third degree," AUSTRIANS VAINLY TRY TO CHECK ADVANCE OF FOES AROUND GORIZIA Repeated Counter-Assaults Made on Wings of Italian Army Investing Isonzo Fortress Repulsed With Heavy Losses.
