APPEAL MADE TO ALL He Urges Pej Thrift in Britain Berlin, June 29, (By Wireless to Say ville) Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard, the attache of the German- colonial office, who was sent from the United. States to Berlin by the German ambassador. Count von Bernstorff , to explain the views of the United" States ' regarding the ihisitania case, published an' article in Der Tag today on ."Germany and America," in which , he says his exper iences "convinced him ' that , the .two countries misunderstood each other. . . "It is true," says Dr. Meyer -Gerhard, "that the American press, ' with some laudable exceptions, especially . the German-American papers, - have not succeeded - in remaining neutral, , but the influence of the" press' upon public opinion is sdtnetimes greatly over-estimated." - i .Alluding to the discussion' over the ammunition question, Dr. Meyer-Gerhard says: " ' - - '- .'Germans often , mistake , large am munition orders for' filled orders. To a laige extent such orders are chang ing big factories into' ammunition works. This is regrettable; but the writer is . convince - that large . parts of the American people disapprove of it. A popular vote .would, show i con-, siderable majority ' against the prac tice. Germans must' discriminate be tween business men accepting orders and the great mass of the American people. ' . ' "Equally- therf . are.' Americans -who condemn violation of . Belgian, "neutrali ty . and the - sinking of ; the Lusitania and are unable to understand the Ger man idea of the' real conditions, while Germans are unable to understand how Americans .could travel on an; ammuni tion ship. - .Both peoples; are -laboring under entirely different opinions. -. Both have lived . hitherto in peace and friendship, . and should continue so to live." -' " .. In the -course of his article, Dr. Meyer-Gerhard spoke of the causes which he said had' weakened Germa- nv's former friendly fueling toward America, citing them as: whatVhe al luded to. as the latter's inclination to wards England and munition sales in America. ' . .-; v v.: '- Different Viewpoints. Regarding the questioh of Belgian neutrality and militarism, the writer 'says' the Germans cannot understand the feeling aroused in :. America over these questions as they know that Belgium surrendered her own -neutrality and1 that militarism i' is . only , the German nation in arms for its own de fense. The American viewpoint was "different, however, and " eaoh nation feels itself wrongly treated' by the other. The whole matter; was, only one of misunderstanding, - said Dr. .Meyer Gerhard, which, can also arise between friends. - No sensible', man,., he said, will light-heartedly throw ' away Ta friendship of long yjears because, he annot on one occasion make himself completely understood. Sensible " na tions, he argued, will conduct them selves in like manner. ' v i t "Friendship between - Germany and America," declared Drl. Meyer-Gerhard, "is a valuable possession for both-na lions, and it is worth while to tak care it he saved to both." The Lokal Anzeiger, " which alsff printed the article, ; commenting edi torially on it, said: - : : 'V- ' - "The foregoing instructive and cheer ing remarks by Dr. Meyer-Gerhard show that the Imperial Government is on the right" road with its treatment of questions existing between us and 'he United States. Itris o be wished also that those circles which heretofore have been inclined to make light .of our differences with America as. being utterly unimportant will let them selves he taught better by Dr. Meyer Gerhard's words." .' - .' - - ' London, June 29. Driven back over their own frontier, north of Lemberg, and forced to cross the river Gnila Lipa, in southeast Galicia, the Russian armies continue to retreat before the Austro-Germans along a front of ap proximately 250 miles. Berlin records progress in virtually the ? entire southeastern theatre, al though violent fighting still is in pro gress beyond the Gnila Lipa, which joins the Dneister at Halicz.- ' .-- - Having forced a passage of this stream. General Von Linsingen's army is presumably astride the railway run-J niftg from Halicz'to Lemberg and Stan islau, and now doubtless is aiming at the line Which runs from Lemberg to Odessa through Tarnopol. It seems evident that Germany is bent on further punishment for the Russians before relaxing the intensity ofther Galician campaign, but with the Russians across the frontier the Ger mans will have to rely almost solely on road transport and their advance will be slower. The British Anxious. The British press still voices the hope that the Russians soon will find a tenable line and deliver a counter blow, but there is a note of anxiety in nearly all accounts, together with the warning that either the capture of Warsaw or the seizure of the great railway lines which supply it would be disastrous to Russia and surely would be followed by another general German offensive. in the -West. Notwithstanding the French attacks around' Arras, it is argued that the Germansmust feel comparatively se cure In the West, else they would not have risked their tremendous envelop ing move against the Russians. - .The French are persisting in their assaults in "the neighborhood of Arras, but with out appreciable chance in the situation. MARSHALL SUGGESTS A DIFFERENT NAVAL POLICY Ssvk War in Europe Should Prove Lemon to This Country Indianapolis, June 29. Vice- Presi dent Marshall today suggested to the Indiana Spanish War Veterans that lessons of the European war were of sufficient value to the United States for this country to adopt a different naval policy. 'If the European conflict were de monstarting that a $700,000 submarine could destroy a $7,500,000 superdread nought, he asked, should the peoples money be further expended for super dreadnoughts?" "The vice president made an appeal for the coming of the time, "when we will submit all international prob lems to courts of justice vested with powers to enforce their decrees." The veterans sent a telegram to President Wilson pledging their sup port of his policies "to maintain peace, and if necessary, to uphold our na tional honor and dignity." " v : 1 Both Poor and Rich Expected to So Restrict the Expenditures as to Enable Raising of Funds to Carry on War London, June 28.--renny-wise econ omy heretofore has not been, a strong feature of the gatherings at Guild Hall, so closely connected with aldermanic banquets of proverbial opulence, but Premier Asquith today chose this home of wealth to initiate a movement in support of the British war loan. He urged personal thrift throughout the nation so as$ to make it possible for the country to bear the strain of the expenditure of $15,000,000 daily entailed by the cost of the war. As if to give the campaign a good send off, the first really big subscrip tion to th. war loan was announced simultaneously with the appearance of Premier Asquith on the platform. It was by a London assurance company and for 3,000,000 pounds sterling. Premier Asquith emphasized that this was the first great democratic loan in the financial history of Great Britain. The state, he said, was appealing to all classes, even those .whose resources were most limited. Waste a National Danxer "Waste on the part of either indivi duals or classes," said Mr. Asquith, "which always is foolish and short sighted, is, in these times, nothing short of a national danger. The Premier dismissed as impractic able the idea of selling investments, property ,or of borrowing abroad. 'The amount that could be raised abroad in comparison to the sum re quired, "he said," would be practically infinitesimal, and if it were possible on any considerable scale we should have to face the prospect of ending the war a debtor country." The .only other course, he declared, was that hs countrymen diminish their expenditures and increase their savings. Mr; -Asquith continued: " Urges People to "Ednomle ' "The state of the 'trade balance be tween ourselves and other countries at this moment affords grounds, I don't say for anxiety, but for serious thought. For the first five months of the present year our imports hajre in creased by 32,500,000 pounds sterling ($162,500,000), while our exports and re exports have decreased by "73,750,000 pounds sterling ($368,750,000). That means that for 12 months our indebted ness to other countries will reach over 260.000.000 pounds ($1,300,000,000.) The only way to counteract this by reduc ing all unnecessary personal expendi ture on imported articles such as tea, sugar, wine, petrol, etc., and on goods made in this country, so that a larger quantity may be left to sell abroad." Remarking that it was not merely a Question of- self-preservation Mr. Asquith proceeded: "There is not a man or woman who has seen what is hanging in the balance but who has during the past year be come greatly conscious that the bat tle we are engaged in touches inter ests and ideals far beyond the shores of these islands, beyond even the con fines of our world-spread empire, and realizes that it concerns the whole fu ture of humanity."

Both Dr. Spilsbury and Dr. "Wilcox, another expert, expressed the opinion that the deaths of all three women were consistent with their legs having been lifted and pulled while they were in their baths jand "their heads thereby submerged.

Bancroft, head of the New Hampshire State hos pital for the insane and: a member of the Federal Commission whfeh examT ined Thaw during his . sojourn in New Hampshire, declared that Thaw always had been sane. Thaw's act in killing Stanford White, Dr. Bancroft said, was not the product of a systematized delusion such as characterizes the true paranoiac. "The killing of. Stanford White," he said, "appeared to us a passionate, im pulsive act, growing out of a condition of mind due chiefly to anger and jeal ousy,'' which was the final culmination of a series of circumstances that had been 'bearing " down, on him a long time. It did not seem a type of para noia, but was due to jealousy of Mr. White, not to' a diseased condition of mind. , "Thaw knew that White had been antagonistic to him in an unpleasant way. He wanted to get even with White. His act was the product of a sane mind, which, after he had indulged in champagne, suddenly lost control of itself." - '" -.

General Angeles wishes to talk with President Wilson. He was not direct ed, by Villa to do so, he said, but is anxious to' learn just what. Mexican policy the United States : intends to pursue. General Angeles agrees with, President Wilson's recent Btatemenj that the various elements must come to ah understanding. He told friends that he and General Villa would sup port for the provisional presidency any capable man who represents the prin ciples and ideals for which the revolu tion has tfeen fought. . Maj. Gen. Hugh Scott, chief of staff of the United States army, was the only official on whom General Angeles call ed today. Enrique C. Llorente, Villa's Washington representative, acted as interpreter. Angeles brought a letter of introduction from General Villa to General Scott. " The contents of the letter were not disclosed, but it was understood to have showed clearly that Generals Villa and Angeles are not at odds as has been persistently report ed.

Angeles receiv ed his military education in France, and for a long time was superinten dent of the military school at Chapul tepec, the Mexican West Point. - He de fended Madero in . the street fighting in Mexico City and tooka prominent part in the later - campaign against Huerta. To his skill in handling ar tillery has been attributed much of Villa's military success. The general ' issued the following formal statement: "In order to contradict certain false rumors concerning himself which have recently found their way into the press of the United Stated, General Felipe Angeles today made the following statement: "The cordial relations that have long existed between General Villa and myself remain-unchanged and I shall shortly report to him in person for as signment to duty.
