Bathers figures ^United states refuses tre I british assumption ^ STATISTICS SHOW WRONB Government Experts Intend to Contend That Goods Going to Neutral Oountrieo May Not be for Ger^H| many?Figures of Scandinavian Trade Being Secured for Use. HH The state department has assem bled elaborate statistics to refute the British assumption that increased ex IPvivbvivub nuui tuo uuuea stales to neutral European countries Indicate that some of these goods find their way into Germany and Austria. The figures will be included in a preliminary draft being prepared for President Wilson of the reply to the three British notes. The state department has made a rtudy of trade conditions between the United States and neutral European countries and the department of commerce has investigated Scandinavian and Dutch trade. A report on the foreign trade of Great Britain for the six months ended June 30, also has been received from Consul General Skinner at London. It shows that exports to the Scandinavian countries and Holland have increased since the war began along the same lines as American exports to those countries. The report also shows that while Great Britain's exports decreased in tne lirst six months of 1915 as compared to the same period of 1914, imports increased. Re-exports during June, tho first month during which the British order in council was fully effective, showed an increase of $2,904,83 8. In cotton, one of the much disputed articles in the trade. Great Britain's imports Increased by 1,314,592 V. centals of 11 2 pounds each. Of the a porta of^otton Consul General Skinner said: "Holland and Sweden each took about five times as much cottoD in June, 1915, as in 1914,' and ,. ? -during the past half year Sweden received 14 2,543 centals and Holland 259,628 centals of cotton as against 18,642 centals and 1 7,785 centals respectively in the same period of 1914. Large increases in ail lines of cotton goods and cotton yarns from Great Britain to Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands during the first six months of 1915 are shown. Despite a general decrease in expojts of manufactured copper, Great Britain sent Norway 317 tons ,V in 1915 as against 48 tons in 1914. Increased American copper exports to X Scandinavian countries hava been cited by Great Britain to sustain her contention. Encouraged by the announcement from London that a purt or the cargo of the steamer Neches had been released, officials determined to press informal negotiations to secure an - agreement that would release all the .ooi. i| uauiuicn ui rtlltTH'UII DOUIHl commodities on -.otterdum docks. -J- the British note in the Neches I case set forth that if it is alleged thai "in particular cases and special circumstances, hardships may be inflicted on citizens of neutral countries, his majesty's government are ready in. such cases to examine the facts in a spirit of consideration of neutrals." In line with tills assurance, the foreign trade advisers of the state deJl partment are forwarding to I^ondon affidavits covering hundreds of individual cases in which they allege that hardships are being inflicted. The state department is hopeful of results in many ofthese rases. POWER Ho'usV ENGULFED Cement Plant Covering Three Acres Falls Into Hole. Carrying with it almost three acres of hard clay, the Immense power plant of the Knickerbocker Cement company, near Hudson, N. Y., was almost swallowed in what is supposed to be a bed of quicksand early Tuesday morning, sending five men to death and injuring several others. Just before six o'clock, at which hour the laboring shift is changed, the workmen felt a rumbling under their feet, followed by a cloud of uusi. Aimoai inaianny die immense plant disappeared from sight, carrying with it 40.000 tons of trap-rock stored for winter use, the weight of which undoubtedly served to cause the disaster. The plant, built four years ago at B| a cost of $250,000, was situated on [ an almost level piece of land a mile 1 from Hudson; it employed nearly 600 L men. Many of tho workmen had complained that the plant was sottling. but their fears were laughed ^^^^at.

Announcement that the United ates had asked the co-operation of >uth and Central America in an efrt to settle the Mexican difficulty used widespread interest Tuesday official and diplomatic circles. While there had been no expecta )q oi any action by this government l the Mexican situation pending -esident Wilson's return from Corsh, N. H., recent developments in exlco, particularly in Mexico City e believed to have prompted the [ministration to immediate steps, ist what those steps will be were bjects of considerable speculation, ^resident Wilson's determination seek co-operation of Central and >uth American governments in rearing peace in Mexico was reached st June when his appeal to the axican factlonists to end the strife ought no results. The invitation to the ambassadors am Argentina, Drazil and Chile and e ministers from Bolivia, Uruguay id Guatemala to confer with Sectary Lansing on the problem was tended June 30. The statement to e Mexican people was issued June Announcement of the plan was Id up until the diplomats received e sanction of their governments to rticipate in the conference. All details of President Wilson's an for settling the Mexican probm have not, it is reported, been mmunicated to the six southern vernments, but their representees have been given a general outle of what the Washington adminration will propose. iPrompt and termined action, it is declared, is e foundation of the president's in. It is believed the first step prorph will hn n flnnl o nnoo 1 fn Movl_ n leaders to end hostilities and arnge for restoration of constitutiongovernment. A time limit for comlance, it is thought, will be suggestShould this be ignored by any facin the plan is said to include produre to promote the establishment the other factions of u government be supported by the American govnments. An embargo on war munitions >uld be imposed, it is said, against fractory factions. Demand will be made for Inlineite relief of the food situation in jxico City and the maintenance of ilroad and telegraphic communlca?n in Mexico City, it is understood. Mexican leaders can not do this, e Latin-American governments, ly find it necessary to take control the capital and the Vera Cruz railad by force and hold them until ace is restored. Secretary Lansing says the sendg of troops into Mexico City to take od to starving foreigners could not uuiinmureu uu uci 01 war. Me >uld not say, however, that such a an was contemplated. The conference will be of an inrinal and confidential nature. It is believed in Washington by those io have been most closely following e Mexican situation, however that ere would be some sort of joint n-American action, even to Joint ilitary action if necessary. Attention was directed to utterces by the president in which he d spoken of "mutual helpfulness" tween the United States and the her American republics, and this ve rise to the belief that he had en thinking for some time past of Lut pan-American action in Mexico, is not believed, however, that miliry operations are being contemplatas a next step. When the three ambassadors and e three ranking Latin-American Inisters meet with Secretary Lanlg Thursday to hear President Wiln's plan to ask the co-operation of eir countries for restoring peace in sxico, a course of action will be tllned which all Latin-America will asked to approve. It contemplates the restoration of nstltutional government without e use of force, if possible, but has view joint action of all the Araeri9 if necessary.

Hydroplanes Win Battle. Petrograd says a Russian hydro,ne succeded in driving a German nboat ashore near Windau and * if Ayr1 ^ific"' j (Continued from first page.) would almost certainly result In the Isolation and consequent capture of the Russian forces occupying at least one and probably more of these fortified places. What has been stated repeatedly in these reviews must be remembered ?the objective of the German army must be not territory, but men, the Russian army itself. Grant's victories In the Wilderness, at Spottsylvanla, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg, gave him only territory and otherwise left him empty-handed. It was only when Lee surrendered at Appomattox and the army of Northern Virginia ceased to exist as a fighting entity that Grant's "hammering campaign" could be put down as a success. It Is with an understanding and realization of this fact that we must view the German operations against Warsaw. uermans Were Driven Hack. During the week beginning July 4, the Germans threw an overwhelming force against the Russian line on the east bank of the Narew near Rozan and succeeded in forcing a crossing with a considerable force in the neighborhood of Rozan. But the Russians, reinforced at this point, put a sudden stop to the German advance by a severe counter attack, drove back some of the troops that had crossed the river, and held the others in the heavy forest just east of the Rozan bridgehead. Official reports from Berlin have daily mentioned this sector, and every report emphasizes the severity of the lighting, but no report was made of a successful crossing other than that noted. The fall of Warsaw will, however, force the Russians to retire from the Narew to their new line. The situation is somewhat confused at present, but the probabilities are that a strong Russian rear guard is holding the bridgeheads at the various fortified points while the main Russian army occupying the front is retiring. The fighting will be desperate, naturally, as troops engaged in such a rearguard action will be entirely sacrificed, if necessary, in order, to retard the advance for a sufficient length of time for the main army to muke good covered with undergrowth, and across It transversely run the French lines. The part of the forest traversed by the battle lines is included between the roads between Varonnes and Clermont on the east, and Vlenne-leCliateau and Biaorvllle on the west. It is along this front that the tierman attack was launched several , weeks ago, and it was again attacked j by the Crown Prince this week. The total front covered by the last attack was about six miles, extending from the small village of Bagatelle to a , point on the ridge locally called La Fille Morte, about four miles southeast of Varennes. The total net gain made by the Germans was greatest along the road from Four de Paris to Varennes. In " depth it measured not more than 500 yards. Its importance, therefore, is not great. The latest attack has been along the same section of the line, being supplemented by the at- j tacks along the Meuse heights and on the Les Rparges front. It Is becoming more apparent every day that the strong probabilities are that neither the Allies nor the tier- j mans can inak any hii|>or4ant headway against the other on the French front. The intrenchments that have been constructed since the present lino. I. ?.o?~ * ? I- ' J--' Iiuvo nutc UCCli IUIVCU pui uuy UOC1" sive action beyond the bounds of reason. It must be a question of agreeing: to quit or one side wearing the other out. It is very generally expected that, after the campaign against Warsaw has been concluded and the Russians driven beyond the Vistula and the ' Hug, the Germans will fortify their own positions as they have done In the west, leave enough troops, and only enough, to keep the Russians where they are, and, strongly re enforcing their western front, lnsti- i tute a drive against some predetermined point between the North Sea and the Swiss frontier. This will probably be the case, at least in part. The doubtful element being the number of troops that can ' be spared from the east. The eastern front is very much longer than the western, the country much more variegated in its topographical features, and the battle lines therefore susceptible of much more mobility ' and consequent display of more acute military strategy. The Russian army is, as far as we now know, still Intact, and, once its supply of ammunition catches up, will " have a striking power of great mo- * ment. These factors will control tho available troops that Germany can detach for a western offensive. It is almost certain, however, that some reinforcements will reach the west, ~ and that as a result the Allies will be ' made aware of the fact by increased pressure at some point?probably in the Ypres section. The operations of the next two'.weeks will therefore have an added \nterest. In the other war theatres but little ~ has happened tiering the week on * | which to comment s \ r us retreat,. Even when the advancing Germans force the bridgeheads their work is not done, and the Russian rear guard can still make effective resistance by reason of the marshes and deep forests with which the eastern bank of the Nnrew is fringed. Tlio only question Is, and this applies to all the forces in the shar|>er part of the Warsaw salient: Knowing that ultimate retirement was inevitable, have the Russians common--'d the retrograde movement in time? Where Von Hindenberg Attacked. In the next sector, that immediately west of and encircling Warsaw, von Hindenberg drove forword by frontal attacks against fortified positions along the outer line of defensive works of the city. To the north, in the region of Novo Georgievsk, although continuous fighting of the most severe character did not shake the Russian resistance. But the fall of Lublin and Chaten and the consequent abandonment of a considerable section of the railroad decided the operations in the Warsaw sector proper, and on Wednesday Petrograd announced a retirement from the Blonie-Nadarzyn position to the defenses of Warsaw itself. This move brought the end into plain view. It was but a question here, as on the .> arow, or rue Russians delaying by rear-guard lighting, while the main army retreated behind the Vistula. Warsaw (Situation Confused. On Thursday Berlin announced that the Russians had retired across the Vistula bridges at Praga and Warsaw was occupied by German troops. Here, as along the Narew front, the situation is for the time being somewhat confused. Reports referring to the Russian evacuation speak of the Russians still holding the front along the Narew and the Bug end pivoting on Novo Georgiovsk. The situation that would be created by such a manoeuvre would seem too fraught with danger to be possible. Another salient would thus be created with Novo Georgievsk as its apex and only a few miles wide ut the base. If this fortress Is still held, the force garrisoning it must be a small one, Intended only for temporary occupancy In order to cause delay. Heavy Fighting to Continue. Although Warsaw has fallen It can not be expected that the fighting will suddenly cease. On the contrary, for some days, until the Russian retreat in safety is assured and until it can adjust itself to a new position, the fighting may be Just as intense as during the last three weeks. Russia has taken a terrible toll from the Germans in return for the city Bhe has lost, and will doubtless supplement her pound of flesh before her retirement is complete. Running southeast from the sector around Warsaw la the sector ot the Vistula extending along the railroad from Ivangorod to Cholm It was the successes along a section of this line that, more than von Hindenberg's activity near Warsaw Itself, caused the evacuation. Railroad's Capture Spelled Success. On Sunday the Austrian troops, who are sandwiched in oetween Gens. Woyrsch on the went and von Mackensen on the east, seized Lublin aud forced the Itussiuns to abandon practically all of the railroad between Nova Alexandria and that place. The absolute need of this railroad to the Russian position at Warsaw has been explained in former reviews. It will therefore be understood that this success sounded the death knell to Russia's continued retention of the line she then held. Mac ken sen Ck>men to IJfe. Following close on the caDture of Lublin, von Mackensen, having the week previous, In the battle of Krasnostow, forced the passage of the Volika and seized the heights between that river and Cholm, advanced against the latter city, drove tho Russians out, and occupied it. Thus practically the entire railroad from Cholm to Nova Alexandria was In German control. Nortliweet of Ivangorod the Ilusilani have occupied a lino considerably In advance of the Vistula. They are being gradually forced hack, hownver, and partly because of the pressure on their front and partly through the danger of being flanked by reason of the Oerman occupation af Warsaw will soon have to fall back behind, if not beyond, the Vistula screen. Should the Russians elect to give battle behind the Vistula on this front the Germans ar3 apt to And the forcing of tho river a serious opera-1 tton, for, as explained In other reviews, the steep banks, the depth, width, and the swift ourrent combine to make the Vistula t>"t strongest defensive barrier In c ..tern Europe. Unsingen Holds Down the Right. On the rest of the front, from Sokol, along the upper Bug, the Zlota Lipa and the Dniester to Bessarabia, there has been but little change. Von Linsingen, who is in command of this section of the Teuton line, is playing a role similar to that of von Buelow in the north. His function is not to attack, but to hold, so that the German right flank and lines of communication may be safe. This he has succeeded in doing while his fellow leaders north and west have driven their attacks home. Warsaw's Significance. As to the significance of the fall of Warsaw in its relation to a possible peace, no one can Bay. It depends lororolv ?? * .... F,c.j nun UUI OJ Ul |Jil III ICS lit} tttt lO what conclusions we draw. At the same time an event of two years or more ago may be appropriately recalled in this connection. About that time a friendly protest was lodged w'th Russia by France over the fact that, in constructing her main line of defense against an attack from the west, Russia fortified the Kovno-Grodno-IlialostokRrest-LitovsTi line, apparently being willing to concede the impracticability of the defense of Poland. France contended that, with the Russian line of resistance so far removed, an overwhelming force could crush her before Russia could offer any diversion. The correctness of this reasoning has been amply demonstrated. Russia therefore advanced her line of defense to the Warsaw line of the Vistula, the Narew and the Niemen. It is evident that, whether correctly or incorrectly, Russia does not , regard Poland as being an essential part of her defensive plan. If correct in this belief, Warsaw, provided the Russian army escapes, simply means so much more territory for German occupation. If incorrect, only time can show the result. French Active in Fecht Vulley. On the western front the French are consistently maintaining the offPI1 r!Va in tho Vnccna mnimiolno they initiated several weeks ago. The principal line of attack is along the Feclit valley from Metzeral to Colmar. Although the Germans claim to have regained some of the posi- . tions taken from them last week, it seems that the more important of them are still in French hands, those under French control commanding the most important avenues through the valley. At the same time this French movement is not of sufficient volume or importance to indicate that there is any idea of turning the German left and following it up the Rhine. . On the contrary the impression creat- | ed 1b that these operations are merely a continuation of Joffre's efforts to wear the Germans down. Germans at Yser and Verdun. ! Along the Yser canal frQiit the Germans launched a spasmodic attack in the vicinity of Hooge, using fire projectors in advance of the attacking force to clear the trenches. The attack, however, was short-lived, and this section of the front settled * back to its usual more or less quiet state. In the Verdun section, both in the Argonne and along the Meuse heights, the army of the Crown Prince has blazed out against the French Verdun position. As this section of the battle front will probably receive considerable attention in dispatches a brief description of the essential elements of which it consists, together with a resume of what has been accomplished there recently, may prove of interest.
