"The refusal to accept Germany's

1.072 have reported themselves as
safe. Of the 588 remaining unac
counted for. It 1b believed 4 00 are a
llvo and that 188 bodies still are In
i he river. ! ,
About three-eoore .bodies were re
covered today. By noon divers had
roncluded that all bodies had been
(rushed Into the mud under tho
I Gotland's port side, and those th ir
had been swept down the swift cur-^
rent. Under the glaro of search
lights and arc lights strung above'
the ship rescuers continued their
work.
The ship lies on her side In the
river with divers still floundering
through her ghastly Interior and
? till engaged In the death search.
whMo Chicago begins to realize the
significance of o?i ef the great sea
disasters. The grieving thousands
who lost dear ones walked through
(he morgue in the second regiment
armory gazing Into the faces of the
d'-ad. half in hope, half in despair.
Chicago citizens, state officials turn
ed their attention to investfgatloni
that must bring forth some explana
tion. of the catastrophe and io the
?vork of providing relief for those
left destitute.
Investigations as to what caused
the Eastland to turn over were 'dis
cussed without prospect of a definite
explanation being reached until th'
official inquiries to be taken up to
morrow are finished. The mo?t dis
cussed theories aro four: That the
boat was overloaded; that she wa?
not properly ballatied; that a tug
that made to fast to warp the East
land from the docks started pulling
too soon, that congestion of passen
gers rushing to the port side attract

London. July 26. ? In offering

Along the Vistula to the south and

by the Germans of some positions
?varuatcd by the Ruaslana when
they dTew In their line.
While Warsaw U binder heavy
pressure the Austro-Germans have
i lot of stiff work before th"m be
fore Its capture. After the crossing
:he Narew they still have the broad
er Bug. lined with fortresses, to
face.
Many are of the opinion that the
otost dangerous Attacks at the mo

made In the province of Courland.
Kovno and Gronno, at the lines

and the northern interior of Russia,
riieno attacks are for the most part
