S.l Great Britain takes sharp issue with the position of the United States that she is ceriously interfering with Amer ican commerce. She has sent to the state department here. three notes de fending the British order-ln-councll Which has checked American ship inents to neutral countries? The Brit Jsh supplementary note, which checked publication of the last note received, and Which was supposed to modify it, docs not. J It was learned on the highest au thority today that in the supple mentary note Great Britain justifies Iner detention of vessels carrying V American products and diverting them to-British ports for prize court action, no matter where they are bound. In this connection the supplementary note Ireviews at great length-the trade rec ords of the Washington department of commerce and points out that the bulk of exports from the United States listed as destined for neutral ports are In reality destined for Germany.

GREAT B III MY WASH NGTDN REPORT Stockings No Longer Worn by Smart Set Xew York Women Appear on Streets Without Them as Means of Combatting Hot Spell. New York, Aug. 2 (I. N. S.)

IS TO SEE EUROPE DIE IS GERMAN WARNING Professor Simmel Says Uni ted States Stands Like the Waiting Heir at Deathbed. By Carl W. Ackerman. Berlin, via The Hague, August 2. (U. P.) "America stands as the wait ing heir at the - deathbed of a rich testator," declared Professor George Simmel, an authority on International politics in an article in the Tageblatt today, in which he asked whether Eu rope is to commit suicide to hasten "America's succession to the world throno." Pointing to the rising American power, owing to the destruction of Eu rope, Professor Simmel declared there was plenty of room in the world for both Great Britain and Germany "if England would only give up her short sightedness." He suggested that with Germany and England working in har mony they could maintain peace and retain for' Europe, "a place in front Of the:-growing' powers of America and east Asia." .dr. maid,s 'as the waiting heir ax tne aeainoea or a rich testator. The sending of ' ammunition to Europe is the chief indication of this attitude," Professor Simmel said. "Europe sends a fortune to America and receives its equivalent which it blows in the air, or rather uses it for better execution of its suicide to hasten America's succession to the world throne. . "America places its arms into, the hands of European nations hoping they will kill themselves for Its advantage, and then takes huge profits. This weakens Europe in two ways. Is Eu rope so insane as to commit hari kari?" Father and Son Gored by a Bull Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 2. Shortly after his father. John Cameron, a Fire wood rancher, had been gored probably fatally by a bull, Bert Cameron took the animal out to be dehorned "early today with the result that he was at tacked and! suffered severe bruises and the loss of his clothing.

Petrograd, Aug. 2. (I. N. S.) One of four German aero- planes which flew over Warsaw Sunday morning was brought down by Russian artillery and the others fled, according to official announcement here to- day. "Russian batteries at Novo Georgievsk dismounted two German guns Saturday. The foregoing indicates the garrison left at Warsaw to pro- tect the Russian retreat was still holding out 24 hours ago. Berlin. Aug. 2. (I. N. S.) (By wireless to Sayvllle.) Capture of Mitau, capital of the Russian prov ince of Courland, by the Germanic al lies, was announced in a statement from the war office here tonight. Petrograd, Aug. 2. (TJ. P.) While retiring from Warsaw and abandoning their entire line in Poland, the Rus sians are fighting one of the most magnificent rear guard actions the world has ever seen. Small forces along the Narew river and west of Warsaw are holding the Germans in check while the main armies of Grand Duke Nicholas con tinue to withdraw toward the new line from Kovno to Brest Litovsk. ' Only th progress made ? by yield Marshal von ' Mackensen to the south' east fn seizing the Lublin-Cholm 'rail way has made the capture , of the Polish capital possible. The Narew line is still -holding ilrmly, though heavy withdrawals have been made. And it was here that Field Marshal von 'Hindenburg expected to break through to the Bug. Troops Taken From West. When it was evident that the Rus sians were about to escape from the trap which had been planned, owing to the Inability of von Hindenburg to break the northern front, the field marshal asked for reinforcements from the. western battle line. The troops reqoested were withdrawn from the t rench front, according to an official statement here, which significantly siatea: "This fact creates favorable condi tions for active operations on the part of the allies in the west." There was no general offensive at tempted by the British and French, however, and this fact has results in intimation of some dissatisfaction ou wie part oi tne Russian war office. Busslan Crops Excellent. In addressing the dutna today Min ister of War Polivanoff declared that in consequence of the great crops of tnis year, Russia is prepared to con ttnue the war for several years inso- rar as her economic condition is con cerned. Attention is also being turned to the munitions problem and the pro duction is expected to be greatly In creased. "Germany must be beaten at all costs, else all Europe will fall under Teutonic rule," the war minister de clared. All reports today indicate that the Germans are paying, a terrific toll in their attempts to overwhelm the Rus sians holding the last line positions in covering the general retreat. In some places the Teutons have actually lost ground in the Narew region, so deter mined have been the Slav counter at tacks. Near the village of Serwatki, the Germans were driven back to the Narew. Much Gas Being Used. Artillery is hammering the Russian line while charges are being made against the trenches and quantities of asphyxiating' gasses brought into play in attempts to dislodge the defenders. The losses of the enemy are declared to.be running into thousands, however, as the Russian . defenders hold on. awaiting the order from Grand Duke Nicholas to fall back upon the main body. In the northern end of the battle line desperate engagements are devel oping. There the Russians are seek ing to check the advance of General von BueloWa forces. The latest an nouncement ' from the war office de clares the sweep of the Teutons in this region has been checked, but heavy fighting is still In progress.
