'Wilson on Return to Capital Also
to Take Tp Xote to Britain, but
"Will Consider It as Wholly
. Separate Question.
" BY JOHN C ALLAN O LAUGH LIN, 1
WASHINGTON. July 4. (Special.)
.The return of President "Wilson the last
of this week will be signalized by the
following- momentous developments:
1. Receipt and consideration of the
German reply to the American demands
growing out of the Lusitania. tragedy.
2. Dispatch of a protest to London
against British restrictions on Ameri
can trade.
3. Inauguration of stern measures
.to restore peace in Mexico.
Germany' Reply to Be Friendly.
Ambassador Gerard has notrfied. the
State Department, as a result of his
conference yesterday with Herr von
Jakow, German Minister for. foreign
affairs, that on Thursday or Friday he
will receive the German reply. He has
ieen advised that U will be friendly
and conciliatory and that it will make
counter propositions designed to meet
the demands of the United States and
assure the safety of innocent Ameri
can citizens traveling upon the high
seas.
However. Germany will not surrender
er right to continue submarine opera
tions, though she is willing to do so
if Great Britain will permit foodstuff
and other contraband consigned to her
civilian population to pass freely upon
the ocean. . .
- Separate Contraband Ships PrtpMed.
The main- point of the German pro
posals, according to all the information
available, however, is that American
citizens shall not take passage on
liners carrying contraband, especially
munitions of war. What the Berlin
government will do with reference to
the President's intimation that the
United States will transmit any peace
offers is not known, but the authori
ties are confident there will be a sug
gestion which they can advance to the
allies.
The United States has always Insisted
on the right of Americans to travel
safely on their own business, but it
is recognized that the German pro
posal that their transportation be
limited to . non-contraband-carrylng
.ships will open a question of import
ance. There is no doubt that Mr.
Bryan and others, including German
sympathizers, will insist that this is
a fair proposal and should be accepted.
In anticipation of its submission the
international law experts have been
studying the question with care and
will be ready to advise the President
on his return.
Danger of War Seems Past,
The important facts stand out, how
ever, in the negotiations with Germany
that there is no longer any likelihood
that they will lead, to war. On the
other hand, the effort on the part of
both governments is to reach an agree
ment which will be satisfactory to
public opinion In their respective
countries. The United States, which
immediately after the Lusitania was
destroyed required the cessation of sub
marine warfare, now is in the posi
tion of being satisfied if this warfare
shall be conducted in accordance with
the rules of international law that is.
that visit and search be exercised and
that wanton destruction of life and
ships shall not take place.
Germany is perfectly willing to sur
render the form if it can retain the
substance. In short, the impression is
growing that there is little prospect
of any real results coming from the
Lusitania negotiations.
Protest to London Separate Affairs.
While the United States is thorough
ly cognizant of Germany's dispositions
to stop mercantile attacks on mer
chant ships if the British government
should permit foodstuffs and other non
contraband to reach the German peo
ple,' there is no intention on the part
of Secretary Lansing to base our at
titude toward Great Britain on German
representations. The protest to be sent
to London will be entirely Independent
of the Lusitania negotiations of Ger
many's procedure. It will rest squarely
on Interference with legitimate Ameri
can trade as evidenced by recent seiz
ures. The latest British statement showing
that, as a matter of fact, this interfer
ence has been comparatively mild and
that there has not been any real suf
fering on the part of American ship
rers was reassuring to the authorities,
but it failed to correct the situation
of which this Government objects and
which is declared to be inimical to the
principle of "freedom of the seas."

HOLT SUSPECTED -OF
WIFE MURDER
IXFOHMEB SAYS MAX IS EOR
MER HARVARD STUDENT.
Disappearance From Eastern I'nU
verslty, Reappearance Under
New Identity, la Related.
CHICAGO, July 4. Information
pointing to Frank Holt, the would-be
assassin of J. P. Morgan, as Erich
Muenter, a former student at the Uni
versity of Chicago, who disappeared
from Harvard University following the
death of his wife in 1906, was given
to a newspaper here today by a college
man. an assistant of Muenter during
his Chicago days, who said he knew of
Muenter's rehabilitating himself as
Holt, and that he had known of him
as 'Holt in Vanderbilt University,
Nashville, and in Cornell.
The informer, whose anonymity was
pledged, says, as quoted by the news
paper: "Frank Holt, who shot J. P.
Morgan, is the Erich Muenter who
took his degree of A. B. at the Uni
versity of Chicago in 1899 and later
fled from Cambridge, Mass., following
the death of his wife, and bas since
been a fugitive.
"There is no doubt that Muenter and
Holt. are the same."
DALLAS. Tex.. July 4. O. F. Sensa
baugh. of Dallas, father-in-law of
Frank Holt, after hearing the state
ment that Holt was thought to be
Erich Muenter, of Harvard, exclaimed:
"I can't believe it! It is so unreason
able compared with anything' that I
know of Mr. Holt. I have never heard
or suspected anything of the sort."
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 4. The
police tonight awaited word from the
New York police regarding: the possi
ble Identification of Frank Holt, who
shot J. P. Morgan, as Erich Muenter,
the former Harvard instructor who
disappeared from this city after the
death of his wife on April 16, 1906, of
alleged poison.
Pictures of Muenter and full descrip
tion were mailed to the New York
police tonight. Captain Patrick F.
Hurley, irk charge of the Cambridge
detective force, who took an active
part in the investigation of the Muen
ter case, declared that the description
of Holt tallied well with that of the
Harvard instructor.
BRITISH AVOID FRICTION
Courtesies of Discipline Observed in
Relations With Allies.
BRITISH HEADQUARTERS. Frane.
July 14. One of the first considera
tions of the British army officials Is
the avoidance of all friction with the
Inhabitants of the occupied districts of
France and the maintenance of most
cordial relations with the French sol
diers. A principal factor in keeping on
good terms with the allied army has
been the steadfast insistence on the
courtesies of discipline. I
Military etiquette, for example, de
mands that when a party of British
officers are saluted by a British pri
vate, only the senior officer acknowl
edges the salute. When, however, the
salute Is given by a French private,
the acknowledgment is made by all
the officers.

ASHLAND. Or., July 4. (Special.)
A forest fire one mile north of Rogue
River, covering a front of about three
milel. has burned without control dur

mountain summit.
So far as known, there has been no
loss of life or property damage beyond
the value of the timber destroyed.
Dry weather for the past three weeks
has produced conditions In the lower

he held the other members of the fam
ily in an upstairs room.

Mr. Morgan, the victim of the bul

Sunday's War Moves
AT a rate estimated at five miles a
day. General von Mackensen'a
forces are swinging northward in
Gallcla and Poland In a colossal and
daring endeavor to drive a wedge into
the Russian center and dislodge the
Russians from the Vistula River and
force them back over the Rug. thus
splitting the Grand Duke'a forces Into
two sections, with thousands of acres
of swamp p' j4 rsh. land between
them. e.V
')f''.U8tro-Crmani can continue
O T. progress another week, even the
British press admits the Russians will
have to give up Warsaw and with it
the whole line. Meanwhile the Ger
mans are massing more troops In the
Baltic provinces, and the recent en
counter in the Baltic seems to suggest
that they contemplate co-ordinate naval
action, but it Is poxalble the sea opera
lions were only a feint-
In Southeast Gallcla the Russians are
fighting tenaciously and have the ad
vantage of a remarkable series of
parallel rivers beyond the Gnlla LI pa,
and the Austro-German advance is like
ly to be extremely costly.
Thus, on their two extreme wings,
the Russians appear to be firm, and
where they are retreating. It is still
claimed, their retirement Is orderly and
accompanied by vigorous rear-guard
operations. The Auatro-Germana who
are advancing in the center are. more
over, getting .deeper into a country cov
ered with forests and streams and bar
ren of railroads between the middle
Vistula and the Bug natural advan
tage to the Russians which military
writers here repeatedly emphasise. They
point out, too, the daily lengthening
chain of the Austro-Uerman communi
cations, which brings an added burden
to the Teutonic allies.
Some sections of the British public
think the time has come for Great
Britain and France to begin a general
offensive in the west and thus force a
transfer of German troops from the
eastern theater, but the more conserva
tive military writers think that the
beat aid England can lend is to pour
Into Russia every ounce ot ammuni
tion that can be spared.
One of the main alms of the German
operations In the East seems to be di
rected to a vast turning movement be
hind Warsaw, embracing Bresl-Litovsk.
one of the strong Russian bases. Civil
Ian residents of Warsaw, according to
Petrograd dispatches, already are leav
ing the city, fearing German occupa
tion. Circulars droipe-d from German
aircraft on the Polish capital predict
the fall ot Warsaw by the end of July.
Russia bas not denied that In the re
cent naval engagement In the Baltic the
Russian warchtpa violated Swedlah ter
ritorial watery and Xl.af lb .itu.Uoa ia
not -tinlike In circumstances the affair
off the coast of Chile, when British
cruisers sank the Dresden.
The Swedish papers comment on the
episode In mild tone, assuming that an
apology and explanation will be forth
coining. According to Copenhagen ad
vices the greater part or the battle was
fought In Swedish waters, and the crew
of the Ocstgarns lighthouse bad to lie
flat to escape the shrapnel.
The effects of the Italian campaign
against Austria are somewhat obscure,
although an unofficial dispatch says
that sine July 1 the Italians have
gained nearly ten miles to the east
of Carnla and that they are pushing
the Austrians back along the entire
front.
German aviators have been active of
late. They have bombarded a fort near
Harwich. England, and a British de
stroyer flotilla. They have also at
tacked the town of Nancy and the rail
road station at Dombasle.
The concern felt in Italy over the
occupation of Duraxxo. in Albania, by
the Serbians. Is Indicated by the report
that the Italian Minister at Duraxxo is
proceeding to Rome for a conference
with the Italian government.
Another striking feature of the late
war news Is the return of the Germans
to the offensive In Belgium and France.
For many dajg It the French who
were forcing the issue in thst riercely
contested territory to the north of
Arrss: now- the Germans have assumed
the aggressive. Similarly. In the
Argonne the Germans have taken mat
ters In hand and have raptured 255
officers and men. 25 machine guns
snd a large number of mlne-tbrowers.
They have occupied a section of the
forest east of Fey-en Ha ye. after hav

Germans, in their attack north of Arras,

French War Office, being repulaed at
this point, ae well as In their attempt
