of n lull In tho fighting na compared
to (ho foverlBh activity of tho Inst
fortnight, is onnhllng military oh-
Horvors on both Bides to tnko stack
nnd forecast futuro operations.
Potrograd claims that tho Russian
dofonslvo positions aro so sectiro that
tho Anstro-Ocrmans will not bo nblo
to withdraw many troops for ubo
against tho allies ot Russia. Tho
Husslans assort further that their
present lino beforo Warsaw Is as
HtroiiR as It uvcr wns and that their
armies on tho river Dnclstor will fall
back only if tho eastward drlvo of
tho Austro-Gcrmans from Loinbcrg
threatens to cut them off.
Tho authorities of tho central em
pires aro less communlcatlvo con
cerning their futuro Intentions nnd
movements, but It Is believed that
Warsaw again Is their objectlvo.
On ICnMcrn Front
Gorman official accounts of tho
fighting along tho Dnlstcr ngreo with
tho Russian au to tho desporntcness
of tho strugglu which tho two armies
aro still waging In that part of fin
llula. Tho Ton tonic version, how
(iv or, admits retrogression only nt ono
point, stating thnt superior counter
attacks by tho Russians nt Tartlnow
had caused u portion of General Von
l.lnslngcn'n troops to bo withdrawn
towards tho Dniester southern
bank.
Klsowhero In tho southeastern
theater of war progress was being
mnnulo, tho official statement said,
whllo further north, although tho
Germans hnd evacuated tho vlllago of
Kopaczyska, which thoy had re
cently captured, they had broklan
through tho Russian lines near Stog
nii and hold tholr footing thoro.
On Western I'rout
Latoet iiowb of tho campaign in
""runco shows tho resumption of ox
tromo activity on tho heights of tho
Mouso, whoro tho French toll of n
violent Gorman attack. The Gor
man claim Is that tho operations
thoro wore bogun by tho Fionch ami
that n trench was retakon from Ihcm.
Tho French admit u Gorman advnnco,
but dcrlnro tho former linos lntur
worn rO'Ostabltshod.
Activity along tho Italian front Is
still chiefly In artillery ongngoumntH
with occasional Intorludos of activity.
Tho Italians claim, however, to bo
gradually advancing along tho Isonzo
and to hava ropulsod Austrian at
tacks at several points.
Munition Campaign
In England tho campaign for mu
nitions Is In full swing with tho pos
biblllty of national registration to
ascertain tho "man power" of tho na
tlon. Thnt Knglnnd appreciates tho
need of -adding to" hor fighting ro
sourcos Is significantly Indicated by
tho publication In tho London Times
of tables showing that tho casualties
of officers during tho last month
conio within a few hundred of tho
total officer casualties during tho

"Horr Uraun, socialist, was tho

WASHINGTON, Juno 23. Suffi

American ships and cargoes by tho
British fleet hnvo not yet boon gath
ered by tho stnto department to com
ploto tho now noto to Gront Ilritaln
which has been undor preparation
sovoral weeks.
Secretary Lansing disclosed today
that tho portion of tho noto dealing
with tho principles ot tho blockado
hnd long ago been outlined, hut thnt
officials had been absorbed In getting
data on American ships nnd goods
detained or seized. Ho Intlmatod that
tho noto In Its final form would bo

Tho British memorandum, review

Its principles will ho discussed, al
though It Is recognized horo that tho

Britain has not answered.
Officials hero reganl tho British
statomomut of detentions as ovaslvo.

doubtless call especial attontlon to
the British statement that of ho 272
ships detained,, sovon "aro frco to do
part as soon ns tho Horns of tholr

Washington Is not rondy to accept
the principles embodied In that stnto

small consolation for nn Amorlcan

will Insist that n non-contraband car
