Every Contention of United
States Rejected by England
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2. 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.
In a supplementary note forward
ed by Ambassador Pane, the British
foreign office quoted from a report
of the department of commerce show

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withdrawn from the French front to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.
