STRONGHOLD'S FALL NEAR

LONDON1, July 10.
j. Two separata Russian dotaohmcnts have
crossed the river Stokhod and aro closing
In rapidly upon the groat railway centra
of Kovel, aecofdlng to dispatches recotvcd
hero today.
General Drusllofl'fl forces crossed the
river southeast of llulovltshl, after enp
' turlng the town Itself In Saturdays lighting.
Tho detnehment Is now within 20 miles of
Kovol and approaching tho city along tho
Kovol-Sarny railway.
The Austro-acrmans contlnuo a some
what demoralized retreat upon Kovel. In
two days tho IlUBslan right wing has pro
gressed 14 miles.
Tho Russian offensive on tho lower Stolc
hod River Is developing with a rapidity and
strength- which has nlmost paralyzed tho
German armies. Bcforo tho Teuton forces
can rocovor from tho shock of one assault
General Bruslloff sweeps forward again with
his forces Intact.
Saturday tho Austro-Oerman forces wero
compelled to abandon their lines along tho
Styr and to tako up leas easily defended
positions, on tho Stokhod. Yesterday tho
Irresistible advanco of the Russians forced
them across tho stream at ono vital point
and enveloped two mord villages south of
the Hary-Kovel railway.
Tho Teutons laBt night were In disorderly
flight" along tho whole front In this sector
and tho Russians, wero moving forward
from a point only 24 miles from Kovel.
TEUTONS MENACED.
Tho crossing by tho Russians of tho Stok
' hod River near UgU and Janovka, which
are reported In flames, seriously threatens
tho Austro-German forces from two sides.,
UbII Is about halfwny between tho two
railways running Into Kovel from Rovno to
Sarny. Tho Teutonic armies aro believed to
bo massed along these two lines. TJhe Rus
sian salient, eating Its way Into the front
at tho centre, exposes both groups to a
flank altaclc and opens the way for tho
Rapture by ho Muscovite armies, of (ho Ufa
(Ines of the enemy.
General von Llnslngen's retirement from
the Lutsk salient, which for months has
been the sharpest thorn In the side of the
Russian army. Is foreshadowed In tho swift
advancoW tho Russians on Kovel. Military
critics hero aro unanimously of tho opinion
that nothing can check the onrubh of the
attacking forces, and that another week,
at the most, will see tho fall of Kovel. v The
Germans, It Is apparent, must relax thelt
hold on the Invaded parts of Poland and
Lithuania onco Kovel falls Into Russian
hands.

U-BOAT FLEET WILL
BLOCKADE, SAYS.CAPTAIN KOENIG
BALTIMORE, July 10. In a formal tatcmcnt, Captain Paul Koonig,
commander of tho giant submarine Deutschland, declared the vessel which
arrived In Baltimore today would bo followed soon by sovoral others.
TJio first of those, ho said, would'bo tho Bremon. Captain Koenig brought
n valuablo cargo of dyestuffs, ho staid, for "our American friends."
Tho statement follows:
"Tho submarlno Doutschland which I have tho honor to command, is
tho first of sovoral submnrlneso, built to tho ordor of Doutscho Ozean
Rhederei G. M. B. II., Bremon. Sho will bo followed by tho Bremon shortly.
"Tho idea of tho building of till ssubmarlno emanated from Mr. Alfred
' Lohmann, tho president of the Bromon Chamber of Commorco. Ho brought
his Idoa in tho fall of last year confidentially before a small clrclo of f rlonds,
nnd tho Idea was token up at onco. A
intrusted with tho building or tho submarines.
"Tho board of directors Is composed of Alfred Lohmann president' of
tho board J Philip Hclnekon, general manager of tho North German Lloyd;
Mr. Kommerzlenrnt nnd P. M. Hormnnn. mnnngor of tho Deutsche Bank.
Carl Stapolfcldt, manager of tho North German Lloyd, has taken over
tho management of tho company.
"Wo havo brought a most valuabio cargo of dyestuffs to our American
friends, dyestuffs which havo boon bo much needed for months In Arrioricn,
and which tho ruler of tho seas has not allowed tho great American Republic
to import. Whilo England will not allow anybody tho somo right on tho
ocean, because sho rules tho waves, wo havo by means of tho submarlno
commencod to break this rule.
"Great Britain cannot, however, hinder boats such as ours to go and
como as wo please. Our trip passing Dover and across tho ocean was an un
ovontful ono. When danger approached, .wo went below tho surfaco, and
hero wo aro safoly in an American port, ready to return in duo course.
"I am not in a position to give you full dotolls regarding our trip
across the ocoan in view of our enemies. Our boat has a displacement of
about 2000 tons and a spocd of moro than 14 knots Ncodless to say that wo
nro quito unarmed nnd only a peaceful merchantman.
"Our boats will carry across tho Atlantic tho malls and save them from
British interruption. '
"We trust that tho old friendly relationship with tho United States,
going back to tho dny3 of Washington, when it was Prussia who was tho
first to help America in its fight for freedom from British rule, will awako
afresh In your bountiful "nd powerful country.
' "Tho houso flag of tho Doutscho Ozean Rhederei is tho old Bremon flag,
red and white stripes with tho coat-of-arms of the town, tho key in the corner.
This key is tho sign that wo have opened tho gates which Great Britain tried
to shut upon us nnd tho trade of the world. The gates which wo opened with
this key will not bo shut again. Open door to tho trade of tho world nnd
freedom of the oceans nnd equal rights to all nations on tho oceans will bo
guaranteed by Germany's victory in this struggle for our existence."
GERMAN U-BOAT TRADE FLEET
IS TO FOLLOW DEUTSCHLAND
TO BREAK BRITISH BLOCKADE
Captain Koenig,.atBaltimore, Announces
Bremen Will - Be Next Undersea
Craft to Defy Allies and
Trade With America
Germany has taken the first step in a carefully laid, determined campaign
to break Britain's blockade of her ports.
Undersea commerce Is the means employed, and the safe arrival today at
Baltimore of the supersubmarine Deutschland with a cargo of dyes and chemicals
demonstrates the feasibility of tho plan.
Cnptain Koenig, of tho Deutschlnnd, in an official statement, announces that
a fleet of U-boats is ready for the traffic with the United States and that the
next submarine merchantman for America will be the Bremen. He states that
Germany can and will break the "diabolical" throttling of her ports by Great
Britain.
Tho Baltimore Collector of Customs, after an official inspection of the
Deutschland, ruled that It was strictly a commerce ship, not a warcraft nnd not
evenaa. armed merchantman.
The collector's report will be passed upon by the State Department after
personal inspection by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt and a naval
expert constructor. The questions involved are of international import.
Great Britain nnd France have called attention to the presence of the sub
marine. The Deutschland covered the 4100 miles from Kiel In 16 days, dodging an
array of British and French warships and numerous merchant craft. It
traveled 800 miles out of its way to avoid enemy vessels. The voyage is made the
more remarkable by the fact that it was through the English Channel, past
Dover,
The voyage is nn epoch la maritime history,
GERMAN CREW WINED AND DINED
AT BOTTOM OF ENGLISH CHANNEL
BALTIMORE, July 10. Captain Paul Koenig today brought hero the
word-to-mouth story of the first successful crossing of the Atlantic by a com
mercial submarine the giant super-submersible Deutschland.
Supplementing a written statement the captain this afternoon told how
hla vessel had lain at the bottom of the English Channel one whole night, how
ho and his crew had played the gramaphone beneath the waves, how they had
lived on champagne and tho best of foods, how they had openly salle'd 8800
miles, submerging only a few times for a few hours and doing only 00 miles under
the surface during the entire trip.
His written statement announced that tho Bremen a sister vessel, would
follow the Deutschland, It declared Germapy now foresaw the collapse of the
English starvation blockade, "The gate will not be shut agafh," is tho language
used.
"We went down one or two times in the NortJi Sea for a few hours," he
said, "but we traveled only 00 miles In all under the sea. We were 4 days
in the English Channel, lying, on the bottoma whole night there because the
weather was foggy. Nobody saw us, however, and we sighted1 no warships
only cruisers and destroyers."
AN EASY VOYAGE,
"It was my first ions voyage In a sub
marine, though I had taken trial trlpa
before, on the Deutschland. There was no
fear in the experience, and t seemed no
more than taking a trip on the Schleswlg
or Princess Irene, the German Lloyd ships
I used to command.
"Wo started from, qermany June"SI, had
bad weather only one day and traveled a
total distance of about -3 800 miles.
"It did get rather close inside during- the.
rough, weather, bu' H was all right when
the hatches were off. The, Deutschland
can go down 300 feet and stay there four
days if nteesaary, but w did not have, to

company was formed and a Kiel firm
of the ability of a submarine to pass the
British blockade. We expect great financial
success from, our venture, and, in fact, the
boat was paid for by this cargo. We can
carry 1000 tons, though this time we had
only 750 Vns, chiefly dyestuffs, worth
JU0O.000." v
"WILL GET OUT ALL RIGHT."
The captain smiled when asked. If there
would be trouble in gettlcg out of Chesa
peake Bay.
"No, there wont be any difficulty in get

DALTIMORE, July 10. Myriads of lights.
In chains like big yellow pearls, blinking
like the eyes of monster seadogs on watch ;
tiny and faint like the lights of glowworms,
separated sea from sky at 4 o'clock this

Some of them were the lights of ammunition

And some were the glowing cigarettes
of a dozen or so German merchant Bailors
who paced the narrow deck of 4ie super

"There it Is." But It wasn't. 1$ was only
