SUBMARINE WAR
U-llonts to Sink All Ships
Cmryiny Guns, U. S. Is Told
Germany and Austria stand pat
on their declaiation that they will
sink turned moi chant ships without
Warning.
As a result, ofTleials'say, a hrcak
with the Teutonic Powers seems
ncaier than ever before, although
every effort is being made to find
a way out.
Count von Dernstoiff told Secre
tary Lansing there was no such
thing, in tho opinion of Germany,
as n "met chant vessel armed for
defense."
A similnr statement was made on
behalf of Austria bv Baron Erich
Zwiedinck, tho Austnun Charge.
Secretary Lansing made no ic
qttest for a postponement of the
proposed new submaiino warfare,
neither did he accept the Lusitania
offer, which has been on his desk
for ten days.
The position to bo taken by tho
Administration is cnrefully guarded
by the President and Secretary
Lansing, who decline to intimate
what their next step will bo.
Congress will wait exhaustion of
diplomatic cfToits beforo taking any
action if the leaders arc able to con
tiol both houses, as they say they
expect to.
Gorman submaiines will toipedo

ing, even after tho new older

coining to special cable advices

An official stntcment fiom tho Geiman War Office this afternoon vir
tually confumed Fiench statements that the Voidtm onslaught has been
hnltod, temporarily at least, by the French.
At tho same time, Ilcilin reported the cnptuio of moic than 1000 yauls
of French trenches and tlio strongly fortified Navaiin faim, the sccno of des
perate fighting in cailicr combats in the Champagne. The gain was made,
Berlin reported, after "efficient artilleiy piepaiation," indicating that big
German howitzers wcio brought into play in batteiing an opening for the
attack, as at tho beginning of the Vcidun drive. Moie than 1000 Trench
prisoners were taken.
Parii this afternoon admitted the loss of tienches in the Champagne,
attributing tho German gain to a "suipiifec attack."
For the first time since tho Crown Piinco launched his gtent attack
against tho Fiench fottiess, the Geiman War Office this afternoon claimed
no important gains in the diicction of Verdun. Berlin asseited that all Fiench
tioops have been cleared out of the Mouse loop, in the legion of Champ
Neuvillo, five miles north of Verdun, and added thnt the Geiman lines had
been advanced further in the diicction of Vacherauville and Bias,vfotir miles
north of Verdun. .
Before the Teutons can make substantial progress in the diicction of Hi. is
and Vacherauville, they must storm and captuio Fiench positions on Pepper
Heights, to the cast.
Both Berlin and Paris this afternoon loported heavy fighting ovci the
ruins of Fort Douaumont, the dispatches, however, being contiadictory.
Paris leported the it-pulse of heavy Geiman attacks against the village of
Douaumont, just north of the fort. The Berlin War Office claimed the ic
pulsc of new Fiench attacks against the foit and positions sui rounding it.
Germnn attacks in the region of Fiesnes, believed to have been part of
