GREAT -BRITAIN IN MEMORAN

Special Efforts Have Been Expended
on Behalf of the American Ship
pers Note Says.
Vashington Great Britain, in a
memorandum transmitted to the Unit
ed States and made public here and
in London, secites at length its ef
forts to minimize inconvenience to
neutral commerce resulting from the
order-in-councll against trade wjtfc.
Germany. Austria and Turkey, and
asserts that American citizens ' have
no just grounds for complaint on ac
count of the treatment accorded their
cargoes.
No attempt s mad to answer the
principles - asserted in the American
not of March 1 protesting against the
order-in-councll and insisting upon
the right of neutrals to carrp on le
gitimate commerce with each othei
and to trade in non-contraband with
civilians in belligerent countries. In
transmitting the memorandum Am
bassador Page said it was "merely an
explanation of concrete cases and the
regulations under which they are
dealt with."
Another note to Great Britain k
now in course of preparation at tht
State Department and is expected tc
be dispatched as soon as the negotia
taxis with Germany over submarine,
warfare have been cleared up. While
this communication probably will
make reference to the "latest memo
randum, it is understood that the
manner of enforcing the order-ln-council
will not be treated as rele
vant fo the question at issue wheth
er there is any warrant In interna
tional law for the powers that Great
Britain and her Allies have assumed
to exercise over the commerce of the
world.
In its memorandum the Foreign
Office emphasizes the "various special
concessions made in favor of the Unit
ed States citizens" in setting forth
that all British officials have acted
In every case "with the utmost dis
patch consistent with the object in
view and of showing in every case
such consideration for neutrals as
might be compatible with the object,
namely, to prevent vessels from car
rying goods for, or coming from the
enemy's territory."
According to a summary of ships
detained there are now 27 vessels
whieh cleared from the United States
now held in ports of the United King
dom. Of these eight are said "to be
unloading cbtton which Great Britain
has agreed to purchase, seven will be
allowed to depart as soon as items
of their cargo placed in a prize court
have been discharged, and the other
12 three of them American ships
are the subject of investigations not
yet completed.

result of his sojourn of several months
in European Capitals where he talked
Intimately with the responsible offi

each of tha countries at war.
Colonel House also disclosed the

In Other Parts of the Front the Austro
German Advance Continues the
Offensiyjp.
Lodon Heavy flghtjng is going 01
along the section of thf Dniester hattlr
front in Gallcia between Zurawna ano
Halicz. There is some! conflict in the
official reporta. Thel Russians claia
that they have punished the Austro
German forces there and that by rush
in& up reinforcements ;they have com
polled them to retreat1cross the river
Berlin t admits this reverse - but tht
Austrian communication says the Teu
tonic attack there is making progress.
; North of this, area and . still fartheM

the Austro-German 'advances t- are
sweeping forword. Whatever. the out
come of the struggle along the Dnies
ter, the Russian armle$. have met with
such reverses thaL lilfthe .belief oi
military experts, frouif ?the standpoint
of the Allies the WjestertT theater
seems to be the only quarter which
holds out the possibillly of a decisive
action during the summer.
The German and French claims rel
atlve to' the fighting n the Westeni
front are widely at variance. MHitarj'
observers here believe hat the Frencl
still have their eyes oh; Lille, with iU
factories and railroadii lines and ad
vance the theory thar the' recurrent
and persistent attacks week in and
week out along virtually the same
section of the German, front prove
this. . . 'ff.'
Though meeting witt the hardest
resistance on the Dniester, the initi
ative in the east still fests with tht
Austro-German8. Few; military writ
ers care to hazard a gytess of what
their next move will bj It is arguecl
by them that the s&uation in the
west may at any molm&nt become
pressing and that Germany and Aus
tria may be forced to be, content witl
having recovered Galica and broken
the Russian offensive without seeking
further to humiliate he&v at this time.

MEXICAN FAMINeJIsERIOUS.

Washington. Anxietjj increased ir
official quarters over tie 'situation in
Mexico City as the State Department
has been unable to cora'nmnicate witl
that city by telegraph' for several days
Brief dispatches from Vera Cm?
said Carranza officials! were much
chagrined at the apparent failure 01
General Pablo Gonzales to enter th
Capital. Reports that fGonzales wa
engaged in an artillery duel with tV
Zapata forces gave theilrs't intima
tion that the Villa-Zapata forces ir
Mexico City had determined ' to offe
resistance to the invading Carranza
army instead of evacuating. Gonzalei
himself, it is indicated,-cut communl
cation between Vera Cruz and Mexicc
City to isolate the Zapata forces.
This prevents the State Department
from communicating with the Brazil
ian Minister and deprives all othei
foreign Governments cMnformation
concerning their diplomatic missions
and subjects. Ifr - '

have been growing worse daily
While it is generally. understood
that there will be no further develop

ANGELES OPPOSED

VISITS WASHINGTON AND HAS
TA1JC WITH GENERAL SCOTT
ABOUT CONDITIONS
GENERAL VILLA STANDS FIRM
Angeles Says He Will Report to Gen
eral Villa When Mission to United
States is Completed.
Washington. Gen. Felipe Angeles,
righthand man of Gen. Francisco ViUa,
came to Washington to. deny intima
dons that he was involved in the act
ivities of Victoriano Huerta and his
associates and at the: same time to
learn the sentiment of officials to
ward the Mexican problem.
The general issued a statement say
ing he was opposed to Huerta and all
that he represented: in Mexico poll
tics and that after a brief stay here
would go to Sonora on a private mis
sion for General Villa, returning
afterwards to the battle front to re
main with his chief.
Department of -Justice officials had
no additional details concerning the
charges and evidence on which Gen
erals Huerta and Orozco wer? arrest
ed at El Paso. -. They expressed the
opinion, however, that the arrests al
ready had a wholesome effect in pre
venting the launching of a new Mexi
can revolutionary movement.
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 thSj United States intends tc
pursue, s General Angeles agrees with
President Wilson's recent statement
that ; the various elements must come
to an understanding. He told' friends
fchat he and General Villa, would sup
jpgrt , for the provisional presidency
any capable man - who represents the!
principles and Ideals for wbiaih Ithe
revolution has been fought.
Major General Scott, Chief of Staff
of the United States Army, .was the
only official on whom General Angeles
called. 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 arjfe
not at odds. s

Premier Asquith chose this home of
wealth to initiate a movement in sup-
port" of the British war loan. H
urged personal thrift throughout th
nation so as to make it possible fo.
the country to bear the strain of the
expenditure of $15,000,000 daily on
tailed by the cost of the war.
As if to give the campaign1 a good

Simultaneously with the appearance
of Premier Asquith on the platform.
It was by a London assurance com
pany and for 3,000,000 pounds 'Ster
ling, ($15,000,000)..
Premier Asquith emphasized that
this was the first great democratic
loan in the financial history of Greai
Britain. The state, he said, was ap
pealing to all classes, even those
wnose resources were most limited.

Berlin, via London. The German

GERMANY DENIES CLAIMS
Contention of Kaiser's Government
That it Has Right to Destroy Con

Washington. By agreement with
the German Foreign Office the State
Department made public the text of
the note sent on June 24 by the Unit'
ed States asking Germany to recon.
sider her refusal to settle by direct
displomatic negotiations instead of by
prize court proceedings, the claim
presented on behalf of the captain
and owners of the American ship
William P. Frye, sunk with her cargo
of wheat by the commerce raider
Prinz Eitel Friedrich. Ambassador
Garard babied that he had delivered
the note
The American government
declares
rthat inasmuch as Germany
has admitted liability for the sinking
of the Frye under the treaty of 1828, ;
prize court proceedings are unneces
sary and not binding upon the United
States.
As to the question of how Indemnity '
should be pid, the note brings out
clearly the refusal of the United
States to accept the contention that
Germany has a right to stop the car
rying of contraband by American
ships "by the destruction of the con
traband and the ship carrying it."
While.no mention jf submarine war

the Capital, endangering the lives of
foreigners'and their property. ,
' State Department officials have
taken no steps in the situation but
details have been transmitted to
