TEUTONS EVEPJ BACK UP Allied Military Observers Renew Hope Warsaw History Will Be Jtepeatcd Berlin War Office Reports Gains Also. LONDON, July 27. Reports from Petrograd that the Germans have been stopped in their advance at numerous points from the. Baltic south particu larly northwest and south of Warsaw has renewed hope in British military circles that history is to repeat Itself in another failure of the German at tempt to capture the Polish capital. The German official report confirms the Kus.sian statement of the Czar's forces having taken the offensive, but concedes no success to th'e enemy, while on the other hand several counter attacks made by the Russians are de clared to have failed completely. Furthermore, the German official re port gives the number of new Russian prisoners at more than 6000. On the lines of Generals von Illnden burg, northwest of Warsaw, and Von MacRensen, south of Warsaw, where ' the Russians report having stopped the German advance forcing the Teutons back at some points the official Ber lin communication says: "The situation is unchanged," or "there is nothing new to report." Northern Advance Arrested. The army of General von Buelow, which is making a demonstration in the north in the direction of the rail way connecting Petrograd with "ar saw, is believed has been interrupted by a Russian counter maneuver from Mitau.i according to the Russians, and the Germans also report the advantage. It is possible that this German force may attempt a swing south to menace the Russian wing protecting Warsaw. The Russian communication contends that the assaults against both Ivan gorod by General von Mackensen, and Novogeorgievsk, by General von Hin denburg, have been successfully re pulsed. The' German official communication follows: "An attack from Mitau was repulsed. Between Powsol, south of Mitau and the Niemen River, we are closely fol lowing the retreating enemy. "Russian attempts yesterday to push back our troops advancing across the Narew River by a great simultaneous attack from the line of Goworowo (east of Rosan). Wyszkow and Serock outh of Pultusk completely failed. W Germans Report Pursuit. "We captured 331S Russians and 13 machine guns. "To the east and southeast of Rosan- our troops are pursuing the defeated enemy, who advanced, from an eastern direction. "Fighting southeast of -Pultusk Is proceeding. "The situation " before Novogeorg- -ievsk and arsaw is unchanged. "There is nothing new to report In the region of Ivangorod. "North of Prubieizow we ejected the enemy from several villages, capturing 3941 Russians, among them 10 officers "Otherwise the situation of the Ger man troops under Field Marshal von Mackensen is unchanged."

TENSION ABSENT. IN CASE Continued From First Fa-re.) connection with attacks on neutral ves sels wa-. made. FREDOM OFXEUTUALS DKXIED German Professor Holds American Position Is UnCenable. BERL N. July 27, by wireless to Say- ville, N. Y. Professor Eduard Heil fron. an authority on international law, commenting in an article in Der Tag on the American note to Germany regard ing the Lusitania disaster and oubma rine warfare, says: "The American note must produce indignation and rrreat irritation. Presi dent Wilson's contention that Ameri can citizens may travel where their in terests upon the high seas call them is absolutely untenable. "International 1p .-r unconditionally acknowledges that neutrals do not pos sess absolute freedom of travel on the high seas in war time. The Lusltania case concerns not u neutral ship, but a hostile ship of wfcich there were strong suspicions of her being turned into an auxiliary cruiser at any mo ment. "The Insinuation of the United States that Germany should give up her sub marine warfare so '..hat American citi zens could travel on British ships is comprehensible only because it Is in accordance with the entire attitude of the American Government toward Ger many. "The delivery of arms and ammuni tion not always violates neutrality, but if the fighting power of one belligerent exclusively depends upon the delivery of arms and am-.iunitions by a. neutral power, then it constitutes a violation. "President Wilson speaks of a new and unexpected method of naval war fare, and the May note acknowledged the impossibility of submarines detain ing hostile ships. A necessary conse quence is the destruction of such ves sels. Instead, - President Wilson de mands tha. Germany abandon the use of her most useful weapon to allow some Americans to travel on the Brit ish ships. Instead of being satisfied with taking passage on American. Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian or Danish i.hips." MOUNTAIN TOP IS TAKEN FRENCH STORM STRONG GERMAN POSITION IX ALSACE. Heights Dominate Principal Valley of Fecht Artillery Violently Ac tive All Along the Front. LONDON. July 27. Furious artillery bombardments have characterized the day's fighting on the Western front, according to the official reports from Paris and Berlin, and the capture last night of an advanced German position in Alsace by the French Is asserted by Paris and admitted by Berlin. The French communication says on toil subject: "In Alsa.ee our troops yesterday achieved the conquest of a strongly organized position which the Germans occupied at an altitude of about 650 feet above our Initial trenches on the crest of Lingekopf. Schratsmannele and Barrenkoph that is to say, on a front of two kilometers about a mile and a third). These heights dominate the principal valley of the Fecht, as Well as the great road from Notre Dame des Trois Epia. "We took prisoners several officers and more than 100 men belonging to five different regiments." -Arras was bombarded twice yester day. The Germans bombarded Furnea and East Dunkirk yesterday, and the allies retaliated by turning their guns on the German, barracks at Westende and Middelkerke.

TOKIO. Japan. July 27. Wireless communication was successfully in augurated today between the new sta tion at Kunabashi. near Yokohama and the Hawaiian Islands. Messages by wire less between Japan and the United States will be regularly accepted in the near future. The distance between Funabashi, where a new wireless station-has been erected, and Honolulu Is about 3380 miles. Experiments with wireless telegraphy between the Japanese and Hawaiian Islands have been going on for several years. As far back as 1909 telegrams had been received at points in Hokkaido, Northern Japan, from Hawaii, but they were not sufficiently frequent or connected to make a per manent station there advisable at that time. Communication by wireless between the station at Bol'nas Bay. Cal.. and the Hawaiian Islands, a distance of 2100 miles, was opened in 1914.

COMMENT TO BE ADDED Lansing: Declines to Venture The ory for Cabled Request Sup-. plementary Communication Is Promised Within Week. WASHINGTON", July 27. A request made by Sir Edward Grey. British Min iEter of Foreign Affairs, that the State Department withhold from publication in tomorrow morning's papers, as originally planned, Tne text ot the British note received yesterday in re ply to the American protest asralnst the British order-ln-councll. caused much speculation today in official circles. No explanation .of the delay was made except that another note on the same subject was promised from Lon don "within a week." Secretary Lansing declined to ad vance any theory for the supplement ing of the first communication. The American note, which has been In pre paration for some time, will be fur ther delayed until the supplementary document Is in hand. Aew rbue to Be Considered. It was at first supposed by officials that statements In the last American note to Germany, which were of gen eral application and set out in de termined language the purpose of the United states Government to maintain the freedom of the seas, might have influenced the British Foreign Office deal with the subject In the same ote which defends the order-in-coun- II. From British sources, however. It was learned that the main purpose of asking the postponement of publica tion was to afford opportunity to tne British government to consider and omment on the communication cabled rom Washington July 17. in regard to cases before British prise courts. This communication known as a caveat. recited that in view of differences known to exist between the two gov ernments as to the principles of law as applicable in prize court proceed- nzs, the British government Is in formed that the American Government would insist on the recognition of the rights of American citizens under the principles of international law as hitherto established, governing neutral trade in time of war, without limlta- ion or impairment by the British gov ernment, and would not recognize the validity of the prize court proceed- ngs taken under the restraints im posed by British municipal laws in derogation of the rights of American citizens under international law. Impairment of Klabts Denied. The British note delivered yesterday understood to be framed on the theory that the order-ln-councll does not transgress the rights of neutrals as laid down In international law thou it h It is admitted that in some re spects the application of the legal principles is new. In view of the sweep ing objection by the United btates to the orders-in-council made In the caveat, the British government reels t Is understood this phase requires spe cial treatment at this time. At first it was thought a separate note might be sent in reply, but the British gov ernment is understood to have finally decided to include this subject In the whole general argument covering the rights of neutrals to the freedom of the seas. One feature of the British note Is said to deal exhaustively with the right of a country to blockade an enemy through neutral ports. TJiat the United States, in case it should be plunged into war with any European country outside or the British Isles, never could successfully maintain a blockade so long as the enemy could receive unlimited supplies across the borders of an adjacent country Is regarded by the British as a fact which should be considered In dealing with the ef fort to cut off supplies being received by Germany through Swedish, Danish and Dutch ports. Civil War Case Figures. The decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Matamoros cases during the Civil War. where a similar right appears to be denied, is held by Great Britain not to apply to the pres ent case, because at that time, except at Brownsville, there was practically no way for supplies landed in Mexico to reach the Confederate States over land through Texas, because of a lack of Inland transportation facilities which now exist. Lest there should be eventual dis agreement as to the right of the Brit ish government to detain vessels and cargoes under the order-in-council. and failing in VpIomatic adjustment, it is pointed out by British officials that American interests may safely be trusted to the special Internationa tribunal provided for In the arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain, which the British hold was intended to deal with Just such cases.

Cal., telling of having "ffcr-id an "advisory board" place to pronpects and suggesting to LeMonn what to say in his answer. One of Gernert's suggestions was that Le Monn should' say that he was trying to get for Gernert 1000 cannier ma chines to sell In his territory. The suggestion was followed in LeMonn'n answer. At the time the company, ac cording to the Government's evidence, had not even applied for . patents to some of the machines. Here Is Gernert's letter in part: "I believe I will do business with the Tracy bank directors et al.

"Also state that the other two (word 'two' underscored in letter) agencies are almost through with the stock selling, and If I want to let them have what I got to sell, to let you know, as they want It, but personally you wouldn't do it. as it would mean that I would have to lay Idle for a month or two until the machines are ready.

Mr. Le Monn replied, under date of March 2. 1912. in part as follows: "We will bo only too pleased to have a member on the advisory board from that section of California- providing they sell 135.000 worth of stock al lotted to you. as then they wuld have a sufficient investment to take a deep personal interest in advising with us as to plans of manufacturing and sell ing. rnmlM of Effort Made.

"You may be Interested to know that the board of directors has decided to have the factory work overtime, and we are figuring on getting the factory on three shifts of eight hours each, which means that they will have to work 24 hours a day, if the orders keep on coming, in order to supply the great demand which we are assured for this ew device, our automatic cashier.

In fact, I think they would give you a small premium if you would do so. "Just bear in mind that wo are not asking you to do this, as it would mean hat you and your men would have to remain idle for at least 30 or (0 days until we could supply you with enough machines to keep your men busy.

House, the Government's ex pert accountant, later testified that the company got no money from any of this stock, and United Stales Attorney Iteames Introduced letters from Mr. Menefee to show thatthe stock was his personal stock. "These certificates are taken care of by me out of my own stock." said one of these letters to Gernert. "and there fore the entire settlement is due to me until such time as we get together and divide the matter." Mrs. Olive P. Howard was put on the stand by the Government to testify that Gernert had been employed to ecll stock in a company of which her late husband. George H.
