normal well-built woll thin work would ro

walls which hnvo been found under Cilv

Tho third utep Is the rebuilding- of tho

from tho building of nn ordinary wall

the new section built, the cement between

LONDON, July 13. Great Britain acted
on strictly legal principles when Rhc aban
doned the Declaration of London as a code
regulating blockado nnd rlghti of neutrals
nnd belligerents at Hen. T.oid Robert Cecil.
Minister of Illocknrle. said In nn exclusive
Interview today. The Hrltlsh Minister
answered several assertions made by the
German Chancellor In a remit ntn'ement
lcgnrdlniT the Declaration of London,
"Apparently the Chancellor regards tho
Dsclarntlon of London ns a chnrter of free
dom of the tens," said Loid Robert.
"What arc tho true facts?" The Declara
tion of London was merely a codo cn
dcnvorlng to reconcile certain contradictory
theories of International Inw.' It specifi
cally permitted the destruction of neutral
prizes. It did not repeal tho welt estab
lished rights of belligerents ngalnst enemy
commerce.
"It Is strange tho Germans should put
forward their present contention In view
of tho action of their commerce-destroying
cruisers such ns tho Hmden, Karlsruhe nnd
nitel Frledrlch, which during the early
months of the war 3.111k many allied and
neutral vessels In places far removed from
the port of any belligerent
"It wan In this respect very different from
tho treaty guaranteeing tho neutrality of
Dolglum, which uas absolutely binding
upon tho signatories, but which Germany
callously violated tho moment war broke
out, following: this act by waging a land
nnd sea warfaro with methods both con
trary to international law nnd icpugnant
to tho ldenb of cllllzntlon nnd humanity.
I need not remind you of the amount of
ncutrnl shipping and the number of neutral
lives destroed by German submarines.
"Tho Chnncollor maintains that Great
Drltaln denies tha rights of neutrals nnd
enforces munlclpnl statutes as though they
wcro International law. v Great llrltain from
the first has dine tho utmost to distinguish
between genuine neutral commerce nnd
that carried on in the Interests of the
enemy, and to place ns little Impediment as
possible In tho way of tho former.
"Smo delays and lncomcnlenco un
doubtedly have been caused ncutrnl traders,
but that Is tho Inevitable accompaniment
of a state of war and everything posslhlo
Is nnd will bo dono to rcduco them to a
minimum. Surely Uio record of Great
Dritaln will compare favorably with that
of Germany, who has not scrupled to sink
neutral vessels at n'ght nnd dcstioy neutral
Innocent llea on only too many occasions."

Teutons Bring Heavy Rein
forcements to Check Gen.
Brussiloff's Drive
2700 SLAVS CAPTURED
LONDON, July 13.
Tho situation on tho eastern front has
shown llttlo chango since Tuesday. Tho
battle continues along tho Stokhod Itlvcr
with tho same determination to win animat
ing the opposing forces. The Gormans nro
reported to bo bringing up ull possible rein
forcements nnd guns In an endeavor to savo
Kovol, ngaln3t which the Russians aro ad
vancing along two railway lines.
Russian detachments failed In an at
tempt to establish themselves on tho left
bank of tho river near Jnnowka. German
fores wcro driven back over tho stream
after crossing It near Grouchlvka.
In this sector tho Teutons havo taken
2700 prisoners In tho last two days, while
the llusjlaus bagged 700 of tho enemy's
troops on Mondny,
Tho heavy lighting along tho Stokhod
apparently Is merely an earnest of what
later may be expected In tho persistent
and desperate campaign of General Brussl
loft to reach this Important railway Junction
regardless of losses.
Tho retirement, according to advices from
Austrian hcadquartcis, was for strategic
purposes. The Russians had worked well
around tho Hanks of tho old position, nnd
If material and units wero to ho saved tho
retirement over nn almost roadless country
had to bo effected at a good pace As It
was, the Auhtro-German forces barely
ren"hed tho positions behind the Stokhod
bctoro the Russians wero hammering at
iho crossings.
Comparative quiet prevails along the rest
of the eastern front. The Russian request
for a bhort armlstlco In order to bury tho
dead at Uaranovlchl was granted, and
heavy fighting has not yet been resumed.
A dispatch from nerlln tolls of the aston
ishing uso of Russian cavalry on the front
south of the l'lnsk swamps. Masses of
horsemen have been used against tho
trenches and unbroken Infantry under con
ditions which would make these tact cs ap
pear the height of madness
An explanation of this has been received
In Berlin, showing that thero Is a certain
amount of method In this madness and that
tho Russians hnvo devised new tactics,
which aro employed, not to press home an
assault, but to advance a l.no of skirmish
ers isipldly across tho danger zone before
the actual charge Is started
The role of tho ca.ilry Is played when
tho Infantry lines reach n point somo BOO
aids from the Austro-German trenches A
swarm Of cavalry In widely extended lines
s then Hung forward through the lutcnals
of the Infantry lines The horsemen dart
forward at headlong speed. Soon they
lllng themselves to the ground and open
a rapid (lie against the enemy
Tho Cossack horses are trained to par
ticipate In this maneuver und Ho down at
the word of command and form a diving
breastwork for the riders Under cover of
tho heavy fire from tho dismounted horse
men, the Infantry lines advance across the
Intervening country.
The Cossacks aro being largely used In
attempts to forco slightly guarded river
crossings, though tho Russian pioneers have
dottscd a new scheme for tho crossing
of the Infantry where more resistance is
looked for. Long slender rafts are moored
along the banks of tho narrow rivers with
which this swamp country is intersected,
concealed by overhanging bushes At the

each 60 feet deep, have been sunk, one at
tho north side and tho other at tho south
side of the building. Tho water, flowing to
tho lowert level, seeps Into these pltB nnd
Is pumped out with largo hydrnullc pump3,

There nro thrca distinct steps In rebuild
ing each six-foot section. Tho wall Is first
pierced nt tho basement-door lovel by two
15-Inch steel girders nnd tho dirt Is re
moved from both sides of tho wall to tho
depth to which It will be torn away. Two
other girders nre then forced through the
wall at the baso of tho excavations and
theso aro bedded in concrete.
Temporary Btccl girders aro then Intd In
opposite directions Just under tho upper sot
of girders. Four 100-ton Jacks, ono at each
end of tho two girders, then lift tho weight
of this section of tho wall, and massive
wooden props nro driven In, with one end
on the steel and concrcto baso and tho othor
supporting tho ends of tho upper set nf

Twenty-five Hours of Steady Grinding Needed

Inside Supports Are Ready
to
A new stnge In tho Droad street subway
work under City Hnll was reached today,
when two giant compressed nlr drills wero
set to work boring through tho solid
misonry foundation walls of tho big build
ing. The experts working tho drills cstl
mato that It will renulro about 25 hours
of nteady boring to plerco tho first holes
through tho six-foot wall.
Tho rebuilding of tho foundation walls
of tho City Hall han been under way for
more than two months, but until today all
tho work nnd been done on the smaller
tnsldo foundations supporting the basement
partitions nnd vnults Nearly one-third of
theso smaller foundations have now been
leplaced with tho solid brick walls down
to a. depth point which will bo tho roof of
tho Broad street tube, nnd today tho first
step was taken to begin tho moro difficult
work of rebuilding tho outside foundations.
The first holes aro being bored
through tho foundation under tho western
side of tho courtyard Just north of the arch
wuv leading through to Market street
From here the work will bo carried nlong
the foundation wall In both directions, and
similar borings will bo begun In a few days
under the wall at tho northwest corner of
the building.
Including both tho outside and tho Inside
foundations, nearly a mile of new wall, aver
aging 11 feet In depth, will have been built
when the work is completed Tho entire
work Is being dono In six-foot sections. Irre
spective of the thickness of the wall being
replaced. In some places tho crumbling
foundation walls aro 12 feet thick, in other
places they are no more than 3 feet
Tho new foundations nre of brick laid In
cement nnd set on a steel reinforced con
crete base, 11 feet below the present base
ment floor of City Hnll. Thl3 concrete baso
will form tho roof of tho Broad street sub
