K TO LESSEN BURDENS Britain Doing Best to Reduce Keonvenience Entailed on Neutrals. Washington, June 24.?Great Brit? 1VI />W? vt r*?rt M cmif f A/? t r\ 1 IMpu, Hi ct iucuiuiauuuui uauaimucu tw ihe United States and made public: ere and in London tonight, recites its i Ifforts to minimize inconveniences toi fneutral commerce resulting from the order in council against trade with j : Germany, Austria and Turkey, and; asserts that American citizens have no just grounds for complaint on account of the treatment accorded their w vaigucs. No attempt is made to answer the principle asserted in the American j note of March 1 protesting against J the order in council a'nd insisting upon the rigi'rt of neutrals to carry on legitimate commerce with each | other and to trade in noncontraband i "with civilians in belligerent countries. In transmitting Che memorandum Ambassador Page said it was "merely an explanation of concrete cases and the regulations under which they are dealt with." Another Note Preparing. Another note to Great Britain is now preparing at the state department and is expected to be dispatched as soon as the negotiations with Germany over submarine warfare have been cleared up. While this communication probably will make refer xv _ 1 _ i. ?J. ,? j.. ence to me latest, mcuiuiauuuui, it understood that the manner of enforcing the order in council will not be treated as relevant to the ques-. tion at issue?whether there is any warrant ^in international law for the powers that Great Britain and her allies fcave assumed to exercise over i&e commerce of the world. In its memorandum the foreign office emphasizes the "various special concessions made in favor of United States citizens" in setting forth that ail British officials have acted in every case "with the utmost dispatch consistent with the object in view and of showing in every case such consideration for neutrals as might be compatible with to-e object?namely, to prevent vessels from carrying goods for or coming from the enemy's territory." ror special vases. Arrangements for buying American cotton detained and for permitting th epassage of goods bought in Germany by Americans before Che date of order in council are outlined and the promise is made that consideration will be given to special cars of this kind in the future. According to a summary of ships detained, there are 27 vessels which cleared from the United States now held in ports of the United Kingdom. Of tihese eight are said to be unload ing cotton 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 lhave been discharged and the other 12?three of them American ships? are the subject of investigation not yet completed. Regarding the complaint that there <ias been undue delay in prize court Droceedings. the memorandum quotes from the minutes of the prize court on tfoe case of the steamer Ogeecheej to show that the counsel for the owners really are responsible for delays, having asked for further time before the cases were called. >'o Ground for Complaint. "His majesty's government," the memorandum concludes, "are earnestly desirous of removing all causes of unfavorable delay in dealing with American cargoes and vessels which' may be detained and any such in quiries or representations which may be made by the United States government in regard to particular cases will always receive the most careful consideration and all the information which can be afforded without prejudice to prize court proceedings will be readily communicated; but they can scarcely admit that on the basis of ^ actual facts any substantial grievance | on the part of the American citizens - - r\v+ rton Vv.-v encfoin^ on^ k Id JUOClliCU Vi \jCLL1.

RUSSIANS FALL BACK Slays' Retretit ;n East Continues, With Teutons Pushing Them Hard. t London, June 24.?The Russians 1 still are retreating in the East; the ! Frenc'b are slowly gaining at certain i points in the West,. With the fires set by t?e retreating Russians still burning, the AustroGermans are now firmly established at Lemberg and have shown no sign of ceasing their offensive. The battle of the Dniester, south of the city, is not over, but according to Berlin, Gen. Linsingen has been able to throw his forces across the river, a r fact whio: is taken in some quarters to presage another Russian defeat. With Galicia all but cleared of Rus- I sians, the weight of Austro-German { forces released in that theatre must j soon be felt somewhere, but opinions i are divided as to whether it will be on the Western front or in Poland. One theory is that*t'.:e Germans will begin another terrific attack against Warsaw. This coincides witG the be- j lief that it is the Austro-German plan i to batter Russia more before turning i West. Opposed to this are reports that I troops from Galicia already are jour-! neying westward and that Germany; plans to start a fresh campaign along the Belgian coast. Lemberg is celebrating the returnj of the Austrians and Vienna has not I ceased '~er revelry at the recapture of the city. Petrograd meanwhile; continues to depreciate the military' importance of ti':e .achievement. The first day of David Lloyd-1 George's appeal for munition workers seems to indicate that an adequate number is being enrolled. The whole country is in the throes of a recruiting, campaign more intense than any pre-, vious appeal for fighters at the front., NEW NOTE FROM GERMANY ti-TT r in L't< nAvrrCCiAYC ?TlLIi .U.illfi tV^VIjk5>3IV.^ | Berlin (via London), June 24.? There are good prospects that trie i forthcoming German note to the United States will go a long way towards meeting the American government's wishes regarding Gdrmanj's conduct of submarine warfare and making passenger traffic on the lilgh seas safe. While it is stated that submarine action against hostile merchantmen will not and can not be abandoned entirely, it is increasingly probable that the German note will embody1 some proposals to exempt ships employed wfbolly or principally in passenger traffic from submarine attack. Such shi'is, it is said, of course would be subject to stoppage and examination by submarines in accordance with the practice in vogue prior to the present war and to capture if carrying contraband, but the regular rules of the prize law, particularly regarding the safety of passengers and crews, would be observed. It is itoped here that such a solution will satisfy the requirements of President Wilson's note. It is hoped and expected hei e imong those w!no are working for a friendly settlement of the situation between Germany and the United States {hat the United States would see that such passenger ships were not used to transport ammunition and guns nor lend themselves to attacks upon submarines. 3TAKES ATTACK ()> ?ILM? First Issue of Tages Zeitung Since Suspension - as Radicul as Ever. Berlin, via London, June 24.?The Tages Zeitung, publication of which was suspended last Monday by the German authorities, reappeared today. ;T'he suspension order was issued, according to the general understanding, because of an article on the American note to Germany unfriendly in its tone to the United States. The first issue of the paper to appear since its suspension contains another article by Count Reventlow, whose previous statements on German-American relations are supposed to have incurred the displeasure of the German authorities. In today's article he makes a covert attack on President Wilson in connection with reports that a peace conference is to be held in Switzerland, supposedly at the instigation of President Wilson. After mentioning these reports the count says: "Meanwhile President Wilson has closed the Panama Canal to shipping trade, in order ti-at transportation c* ammunition and other war materials from Eastern harbors of the United States to Vladivostok, for increasing the Russian figihting strength, shall not suffer interruption. And over the Atlantic at the same time are voyaging from the United States floating arsenals and ammunition depots, in order that the cries for help from Great Britain and France shall be silenced as soon as possible. And acain at fho tinmo timp Prpsirlprit Wil son demands tfcat a sure and unimpeded journey be guaranteed these floating arsenals." Barbecue at Pomaria Friday, Jclj 30.

E. M. House. New York, June 24.?President Wil- | son does not see any prospect for an J fl i - ~ i & I eariy peace in Europe. Col. E. M. House, nis official en-j vcy to Europe; gave the president to-j day t'l:e results of his sojourn of sev- 9 eral months in European capitals,; I w here he talked intimately with the. responsible officials of the German, j I British and Frencn governments, and j the information he imparted in the long walks and talks which they enjoyed today reflected definitely the I ideas held by botih diplomatists and I the military element in each of the! countries at war. Col. House also disclosed the cur-! rents of public opinion in each coun- j try as to peace terms. The president; I f as been guided largely by what Col. I B House has reported to him by cable j and letters in handling the delicate! question of renewing the efforts of; the United States to bring about a j general acceptance of mediation. No j new tenders or gooa omces nave ueeii , m made to any of the warring powers. Demand Too iMtoch. One fundamental thing the presi-1 dent has learned is the unprepared-! ness of public opinion in some of the | belligerent countries as to terms which \ they fear their adversaries might ad-! vance, or that already are discussed.! I Umico nheorvo^ that nnhlir nnin-I "vuavi ? t ~ -i ? ion in some countries insisted on! 3 terms which the governments of those I countries already had learned in various ways would not be acceptable to their opponents. In all countries, Col. House found there had developed among the masses a desire for a settlement that would be commensurate with sacrifices made | ? by t'.e people. If left to the diplomatists in Europe alone, a return toj the territorial status quo perhaps1 "would not be difficult, some of the in-; formation indicated. In Germany, it seems, according to; information given to the president, the object of a large and influential party i was to prepare public opinion for a) realization of the idea that Germany's j best interests lie in colonial expansion and the incidental development of overseas commerce, rather than in territorial extension in Europe proper. Question of Sea Traffic. The question, however, which Col. House thinks likely will play a most important part in any peace negotiations is "freedom of the seas," tee principle that the property of all private citizens, except contraband, shall be exempt from capture or seizure on the high seas in time of war. This point was discussed at the 5 first and second Hague conferences and at the London naval conference which brought forth the socalled "Declaration of London," but no general ratification or agreement was obtained. The American delegations to I m t?" e first and second Hague conferences were instructed to vote for the adnntion of this nrinciDle. i """" Col. House is known to be a sup- gave porter of the "freedom of the seas" Villaprinciple and in ibis discussion of the deteri subject while abroad there is some invad reason to believe that he had the sane- evacu ticn of the president.
