It. ls believed hero that tho allies'
success in the Dardanelles would

GERMANS ATTACKS
FAIL IN THE NORTH
Germans Reported Winning Pro
nounced Successes Through
out Southern Poland.
London, Aug. 10.-The Teutonic
pressure ou the eastern front con
ues heavily against thc Russians all
atong tho line. The russians are re
tiring steadily in most sections North
cast of Warsaw, up to the Baltic, tho
Russians aro making a most de
termined Bland. Increasingly strong
resistance is indicated in this terri
tory, where a serioua breach will me
nace the Russian defense.
In the Baltic provinces,. Petrograd
claims that the Germans arc -being
pressed back irom Riga on land, while
the attempt of a German battle fleet
to get through the minc barriers at'
the entrance of the gulf of Riga was
beaten off.
Tho Russians also claim to have
checked Uio German advance guards
in thc Vilkomcr district, where thc in
vaders are within 50" miles ' of the
trunk line railroad to Petrograd.
At Kovno, it is declared that des
perate attacks- on the forts have been
repulsed with.heavy losses.
AuBtro-German pressure oil thc re- :
tiring Russians continues strong in
the Warsaw sector, along the lines
to tuc southeast.
Pronounced successes for the Teu
tons are reported throughout south
ern Poland. *
Rome reporta the capture of some
Austrian trenches in Cavallo pass in
the Carnie region and Plava zone. .
The Russian report new successes
against the Turks in tho Caucasus,
near the Euphrates river.
A Rrltlsh advance in the vicinity of
Hooge marked tho most important en
gagement the British army has fig
ured in since tho Festuhert battle last
May.' The gain was small, but waa
main tabled against counter tl tacas.
The Balkan situation is chaotic. A
Saloniki dispatch says the Teutonic
plan to strike at. Serbia bas found
expression in concentration of forces .
along the Sorbtan frontier, lt ls said
that one hundred thousand troops
have bean massed .at Orsova, Hun
gary, which may bo tho forerunner
of tho predicted campaign to aid Tur
key.
Italy, has not declared war on Tur
key, but Athens reports that the'Ita
lian consuls are leaving Turkey, en
trusting Italian affairs to Americana.
If true it probably will mean impend
ing d?v*>lopments in the (Balkans, dic
tated by Italian action.-.
The British press is sarcastic about
the German's reports ot poaco over
tures to Russia. Virtually all relt
orato there can be no p?..nco until tho
allies win. It is generally believed
that Germany is willing to conclude
peace aa matters stand, but the. bur
den of comment ls that the situation
makes peace impossible from the ?- j
Ees' standpoint. !

Washington, Aug. 10.--The Ameri
can battleships Louisiana and New
Hampshire sailed tonight from New
York, Rhode Island, for Vera Crus in
response to an urgent request from
Commander McNamcr that his littlo
fleet of gunboats lu- rc-inforced ia
view of anti-foreiga demonstrations
in Ce.rranza's capital.
It is understood Wilson himself or
dered the battleships Bent, although;
no official would admit even that ?hey\
sailed. Official reticence ls duo.large
ly to tho fear that news ot the .bat
tleships might accentuate the already
serious situation at Vera Crus. .
Secretary lansing refused to dis
cuss naval matters further than to ssy
a ship would be sent to Vera Crus to
replace one which will bring away,
the Brazilian and : Guatema'ati minis
ters.
(He also said that oh account of
the continued bandit raids the United.
States forces wilt be increased on th*
border, declaring emphatically ?hat.
neither this nor the . action-oi, any.
'Multa ' had any bearing eartha plans
of the Pan-American conference.
Washington. Aug. 10.-Tho senior
American naval officer at Vera Cru*
has asked the navy department to
send a battleship squadron to guard
against anti-foreign d?monstrations?
which ho fears.
Admiral Benson and Leon Can ova,
chief of the Latin-Amcricon division
ot tho state department, conferred
|oday concerning the McNarnee re
ports. Then they went to Secretary
Landing's office. Benson said no ad
ditional naval forces had been order
ed to Vera Cruz after the conference
with Secretary Lansing. Benson re
peated the statement that the gunboat
Marietta had been ordered from Pro-*
greso to Vera Crus to b - ready for the
Brasilina and Guatemalan ministers
leaving Mexico. It is assumed that
the Louslana ead New Hampshire
will be held st Newport for further
orders.
Newport, R. I., Aug. 10.-TJb?
battleships Nsw Hampshire and Loui
siana are preparing to sall to Vera
Crus this afternoon;
The battleships NOT Hampshire
and* Lousiana at Newport were or
dered to prepare at ?nee to go> to
Vera Crt?. If the -emergency be
comes pressing the battleship Con
necticut, now tn Ha?tien -.raters,
about two days away, will be ordered
to Join McNarnee. McNamee's report
gives no details. Anvrjg officials
here lt la believed the feeling report
ed la an' outgrowth of the Pan
American negotiations in Washing
ton. Other Mexican developments,
such as expulsion Of tho Guatemalan
minister and Carransa's differences
with tbe Brazilian minuter are taken
as evidence of Cananu'e displeasure
at tho United States' stand. The gun
boat Sacramento is the only American
naval vesee! st Vera Cruz. Rear Ad
miral McLean will take charge on ar
rival of the Lousiana.

declares Americans have been driven
almost to desperation; Implores
Washington to act promptly to bring

United States has the gravest and

ditions but promoted them with amis
and ammunition and by ehcourage
mer* to iK>litical adventures who
have "po ?tit ii ted the name liberty
atid the cause of human rights.'.
"Amertccna and other foreigners
stand aghast and wonder whether
they can be living in tho IwentSsUt
century. In a- country bordering- the
i United States, which mado Itself re
sponsible to the world for the protec
tina of lifo and property here, yet
does nothing moro toas send repeat
ed warnings that arefierived by half
savage men drunk with ill-gotten
power and th* spirit of graft and
hate."
