Kvery American contention as to interfer ence with neutral commerce haa been rejected by Great Britain as unten able. In a aeries of notes, the hint of which was received today, England even refused to reeogniie the right of the United States to reserve certain complaints for future settlement. The hopes of the administration for a mod ification of the JSritlsh order-ln-conn-cil have been sfmmarily upset. A separate riide dealing with the question of shipments to the I'nited States in neutral ships also was re ceived. This note claimed the right to seize all cargoes suspected of being of German origin.

Whole Russ Line in Poland is Abandoned to Von Hindenburg's Troops and Retreat of the Czar's Forces is Covered by Rear Guard Act tions Which Prevent Teutons Checking the Russians From Establishing New Line at Kovno. PETROGRAD, Aug. 2 Whil re tiring from Warsaw, abandoning their entire line in Poland, the Russians are fighting one of the most magnifi cent rearguard actions the world has ever seen. Small forces along the Narew riv er and west of Warsaw are holding the Germans In check while the main armies continue to withdraw toward the new line from Kovno to Brest Lltovsk. Only the progress made by Von Mackenzen In seizing the l,ublln Cholm railway made the capture of Warsaw possible. Troops are being withdrawn from the French front to reinforce Von Hlndenburg. The Narew line Is still holding firmly, though heavy withdrawals have been made. It was here that Von Hindenburg expected to break through to the Bug. When It waa ev ident the Russians were about to es cape the trap planned owing to the Inability of Von Hindenburg to break the northern front, the field mrrshal asked for reinforcements from the western battle line The troops re quested were wihdrawn from the French front, according to an offi cial statement which significantly said: "This fact creates favorable; conditions for active operation., on' the part of the allies in the west." j There has been no general offen-: sive attempted by the British and( French, however, and this fact re sulted in intimations there was somej dissatisfaction on the part of the Russian war office.
