President Wilson has drafted a
note, brief and pointed, to be sent to
Germany asking a definite question—
whether the ImpeMal government In
tends to be guided In the future by
the humane principle embodied in In
ternational law for the conduct of
maritime warfare. It wllf be sub
mitted to the cabinet and dispatched
soon thereafter, before the week-end
Coincidentally there will start for
Berlin a personal emissary of Count
von Bernslorff, the German ambaa
sador, to lay before Emperor Wil
liam and high officials of the German
government the substancs of what
the ambassador learned from Presi
dent Wilson in his talk, the true
statp of public opinion in the United
States toward the German govern
ment and the American point of view
on submarine warfare.
The ambassador in his interview
with the president, it became known,
said he would send within a day or
two a man of judgment and breadth
to personally outline the situation to
the German government.
The president made arrangements
at Count von Bernstorff’s request for
the safe conduct of the envoy. His
name is not known generally, but
foreign governments already have
given assurances to the United States
that he will not be molested.
The ambassador is understood to
have explained that he has had dif-
flculty on account of the cable cen-
eorshlp in makla* the government,
realise the feeling in the United
States, and that erroneous reports
had reached Germany. President
Wilson's emphasis on the fact .that
the United States would omit no word
or act to secure an acquiescence in its
position on the Lusitania case was
described by the ambassador in a
memorandum which he has trans
mitted to his government.
The dispatch of the ambassador's
representative will not «ffect the
sending of the American govern
ment's rejoinder to the last German
note, though it may delay Germany's
reply
The ambassador's plan has caused
him to be very hopeful of the satis
factory outcome of the delicate situa
tion that has arisen. Believing that
his government was uninformed on
the feeling in the United States when
the last note was written in Berlin,
he Is said to be confident that offi
cials will now learn important details
that will be of guidance in answering
the American government's new com-
mtinlcatlon.
Although the president naturally
would not discuss this country's re
lations with the allies, the ambassa
dor Is said to have been convinced by
his talk with Mr. Wilson of his sin
cerity of purpose in upholding the
neutra'ity of the United States.

Petrograd reports via London Frl
day: The Russians evacuated Prze-
mysl only after all war materials had
been removed, according to an offi
cial statement Issued by the Russian
general staff.
It is explained that after the Cap
ture of Jaroslau and Radymno; by
the Austro-German forces they began
to spread along the weqt bank of the
San, making the defense of Przemysl
a difficult task.
The Russians contend they realiz.
ed from the first that Przemysl was
Incapable of defending itself, and
they remained there only as long as
it served their purpose. The posi
tions occupied around Przemysl ex
tended the Russian front by about
twenty-four miles and the troops oc
cupying them were exposed to a con
centrated artillery Are.
The text of the communication fol
lows: “We carried away from Prze
mysl the materials taken from the
Austrians. This finished, we remov
ed on Tuesday the last of our bat
teries. The following night our
troops, pursuit to orders, evacuated
the fronts to the north and west of
the positions surrounding the city
and formed a more concentrated
force to the east.

North of Przemysl Gen Mackensea
has driven a wedge between the Rus

Lemberg fortress. That w\s a risky
move, and knowing its peril British
observers have watched it with keen
interest. But now Gen. Mackensen
has a breathing spell and can select
either to stand where he is or to push
forward from a base of great strate
gic advantage.
Viewing the complacency with
which the Germans have accepted

it has insisted, indeed, upon the use
of visit and search as necessary to

Dispatches received at Washing

thn new -stand being taken by Presi

for the warring Mexican chiefs to get
together and allow foodstuffs to be
distributed among the poor and needy
without molestation is being given
great consideration by the members
of the political parties on gdl sides.

other agencies bent on helping the

food supplies will be sold at cost to

It is claimed at the Mexican port,
according to the dispatch, that I^r-

confidence in his ability to f take

130 MERCHANTMEN LOST
Enemy CrulsersSlnk 56 British Ships,
Mines 12 and Submarines 62.
An admiralty statement, giving
the number of British merchant and
fishing vessels sunk or captured since
the beginning of the war, shows that
fifty-six merchant ships have been
sent to the bottom by cruisers of the
enemy, twelve by mines and sixty-two
by submarines, a total of one hundred
and thirty. •*
Eighty-three fishing craft have
been lost, and of these twenty-four
were sunk by mines. Since German
submarines began their attack on
merchant shipping, January 27, the
merchant vessels sunk by them num
ber fifty-nine and the fishing eraft
thirty-one.
Looking at the losses from the
standpoint of tonnage it Is seen that
since the war began Great Britain
has lost 458,006 tons in merchant
shipping and 13,585 tons in fishing
craft.

day braved wind and rain to march
through the streets of Richmond in a
military pageant and to lay the eor-
stone of a monument to Gen Thomas
J. (Stonewall) Jackson as the'clos

nual reunion.
Nearly six thousand wearers of the
gray, flanked by the militia .of Vir

men representing Southern civic so
cieties, marched again to the strains
of war time music, bared their heads
t6 the statue of Jefferson Davis and
sounded the “rebel yell’’ as they pass
ed the giant equestrian statue of
Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The military pageant was an in
spiring event, notwithstanding the
weather, which caused its postpone

the Confederacy, with heads erect,
were greeted with constant cheers
along the line of march. Rivaling
veterans for honor of the day were

With the surrender of the fortress
there fell Into the Russian hands, ac
cording to official reports, one hun
dred and twenty thousand Austrians
and six hundred guns and an im
mense amount of war material.
Most of the forts, however, had been
destroyed by the Austrians, and this
is considered in military circles here
to account for the fact that the fort
ress succumbed so quickly to the Aus
tro-German attack.
When -the Russians captured
Przemysl they were pressing the Aus
trians across the Carpathian passes.
Then on May three came the newa of
* great Austro-German drive into Ga
licia. Advancing slowly but surely
ind carrying one thousand guns, the
Teutona'^rompelled the Russians to
fall back until the Russian line ran
to the right bank of the’ River San.
Crossing the river, the Austro-Oer-
man forces progressed to the north
and south of' the fortress, and on
Tuesday Berlin announced that three
forts to. the north had been stormed,
while Vienna stated that the railway
between Przemysl and Lemberg was
commanded by Austrian guns.
There still was hope in the allied
countries, however, that a Russian
counter-offensive would hold the In
vaders off. but this proved ill found
ed and the Russians had to give up
the city, which, earlier in the war,
had cost them so dearly to win.
There Is no estimate of booty cap
tured, but it Is fairly certain that the
Russians, having lots of time, got
away as many men and as much ma
terial as possible and destroyed the
guns and ammunition that remained.
It is expected in London that the
victors will endeavor to push on to
Lemberg and even farther.
