As in all trench warfare, the Al lies found their general advance on the Gallipoli peninsula hindered through the inability of part of their force to penetrate wire en landements which artillery fire """" " -" has not sufficiently destroyed.

A gain of 500 yards on a front of three miles in this sort of fighting, however, is considered satisfactory by the British, particularly as it induced the Turks to counter attack,' in which they suffered heavy losses.

Here the French claim -to have "ained more ground, and according to their report, have repulsed violent-German counter-attacks. The Germans assert they have re pulsed French attacks. The first important battle of the Italian campaign is raging for posses sion of Tolmino where the Italians have met with the first "serious oppo sition in their advance across .the Austrian frontier; Italian warships, have destroyed ca bles and lighthouses in the Adriatic and again have bombarded Monfalcone.

RUSSIANS RETREATING Austrian Newspapers, However, Sound Warning Against Over-Estimating Importance of Successes Gained Stt 'Far. Berlin, June 6. Advices from the Ga lician front continue extremely favor able to the Axistro-Germans. Accord mg to a dispatch from Austrian head quarters, the Russians are being ma neuvred out of one position after an other and already are in full retreat from Medyka, east of Przemysl and it is considered doubtful if they can make a stand at Mosciska. The line of the lakes running north and south through Grodek, which would be the next natural line of de fense, is being taken on the flank byj the .Austro-German advance from the south. If this army forces a passage of the Dniester, the Grodek line may prove untenable and then the Russians might have great difficulty in retaining Lem berg. Desperate Russian attempts to relieve the situation in the center by attacks on both wings have been fruitless according to German reports. A dispatch from Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina, says the Russians east and northeast of that city are in re treat before the Austro-Hungarians. NEWSPAPERS ISSUE WARNING.

"The Russians," adds the correspond ent, ."have proved themselves stubborn fighters and they also have large re serves of fresh troops.

INVESTIGATE MATTERS WASHINGTON NOTE 10 BY GABLE TONIGHT Or Early Tomorrow Morning, According to Word From the White House. THE REASON FOR DELAY Wilson Wanted to Make Phras eology Eliplicit and Un mistakable. Washington, June 6. President Wilson's note to Germany will be cabled to Ambassador Gerard on Monday night or early Tuesday, according to word from the White House tonight. The only reason for the delay, it wag said, was the President's desire to make the phraseology of the note so explicit . and unmistakable as to leave no room for doubt or further argu ment concerning the position of the United States government that the right of visit and search must: be exercised and passenger and crew of unarmed ships on which neutrals are voyaging, transferred to a place of safety be fore any v prize is destroyed by a belligerent warship. Contents of Note. Officials familiar with the contents of the note said it was a forceful re iteration of the principles expressed by the United States in its note of .February- 10, when the American gov ernment announced that it could not admit. Uie fight of .the German armi- ' ralty's proclamation of a war zone "to - infringe in any way upon the right of neutrals to travel anywhere on he high seas on peaceful, merchantmen and that the German government would be held to a "strict accountability" for any .violation , of American rights. Suggestion has been made to the. President that the recent note from Germany offering regrets and repara tion for the sinking by mistake of the Gulf light be cited in the new note as proof of the American contention that wi.thout visit and search the identity of a vessel cannot be established and the lives of neutrals safeguarded. The commander of the German submarine which attacked the Gulflight reported that he did not see the American flag until "the moment of firing the shot," Whether this idea will be included is not known. There may be some further discussion of the document with legal officers of the government tomorrow, but it is ex pected to be put in cipher and sent on ' its way to. Berlin tomorrow night. President Wilson went to church this morning, took a short automobile ride in the afternoon and spent the even ing in his study still at work on the note. Secretaries McAdoo and Houston called during the evening. Germans Are Optimistic. In German quarters the optimism which has been apparent since Count , Von Bernstorff, the German ambassa dor, talked with President Wilson con tinued today, the impression being given that the road to an understand ing was much clearer than it had been since the Lusitania was destroyed. The belief is constantly expressed in German quarters that the crisis over the Lusitania case has passed. It is frequently pointed out, too, that the present correspondence over neutral rights may lead to a discussion of the general subject of the freedom of the seas and some German officials have suggested that out of the exchange of notes with Germany, followed by fur ther correspondence with Great Brit ain on neutral rights, the way may be opened even to the making of peace. Attention for the present in official quarters is fixed upon a settlement of the , difficulties that have arisen be tween Germany and the United States, and talk of making peace in Europe is heard much less now than months ago. German officials here estimate that if the American note is cabled Monday or Tuesday, reaching the Berlin foreign office not later than Thursday, a reply probably would require a week's time, at least, and would not be here in Washington much before June 20. Count Von Bernstorff plans to go to Cedarhurst, L. I., during the coming week. He has removed the embassy to summer quarters as have many of the other embassies and legations. fa CLAIMS WAS MISQUOTED. German Governor General of Belgium Declares He Did Not Talk.
