J'oning ltusslaiis Hark
Tho penetration of tho Oermanlc
armies eastward from Lemberg has
had tho Inevitable result of forcing
tho Russians from tho .10-mllo front
between Hobrka nnd .urawna. Tho
Jluscovlts aro now falling hack to
tho Hnlln Llpn river. Military writ
era hero anticipate that this will
necessitate a total withdrawal from
tho Dniester and that tho Russians
will mako their next real stand on
the river Hug.
Thoso writers alsq.liold. that though
tho Russian retreat must mean n
great retardation to tho prosperta ot
a MuBcoltu recovery to a condition
making a counter offonslvo possible,
It has nlso robbed tho Austro-fier-maiiB
of what might hnvobeon n
complete victory had thoy forced tho
Russians to fight to n finish Instead
of tho latter being nblo to withdraw
tholr armies virtually Intact.

'S OFFER
OF PEACE TALK

nlngs Hryan may yet address tho
Sons of Teutons "If satisfactory ar
rangements can bo made."
This statement was mado today by
H. F. Hummel, chairman of tho com
uiittee on arrangements for tho meet
ing which was to have beon hold to
night nnd nt which It was originally
arranged that Mr. Hryan, pausing on
his trip to Lincoln, Neb., should
Fpeak.
Tho subject on which Mr. Hryan
was to talk, was really a minor mat
ter," said Mr. Hummel. "Wo wanted
hint to talk on tho exportation of am
munition and he offered to ropeat his
New York addross on 'peace.' That
talk would do us no good. Stop tho
exportation of munitions of war and
there would bo peace in a month.
Wo telegraphed him requesting a
change of topic and wo shall know
more about that whon he arrives
here this afternoon. My committee
will meet him at tho station,
"Tho meeting has been postponed
not boatige of Mr. Hryan so much as
beoatue it appeared doubtful if the
collioum could bo prepared to hold
the crowd. Lator we will have the
mooting and Mr. Ho an wil bo the
principal spoaker if we can mako
satisfactory arrangements with him."
'Would a talk on peace be tajls
fRctary?" Mr. HmmmoI was sakwl.
"A tulk on peace would do us no

natuio ot the AnibasHitdor's messago

Indication of tho trend of tho forth

Duo to Aleycr-t'eiliaiil
Ambassador Herard based his ob
servations on the fnvorablo effect
which the visit of Dr. Anton Moyor
Horhard, emissary of Count Von
Ilerustorff, tho Herman ambassador
here, had produced on offlcla'lu of
the Herman government. Or. Her
hard was understood by Ambassador
Herard to have reported that public
opinion In (he United States had
been growing moro nnd moro favor
able to Heruiiiny wjum tho sinking
of the Lusltania undid what hnd been
accomplished. Herhnrd mado it clear
also that the United Slates did not
want war, but wanted a satisfactory
reply to Its representations.
Herman officials aro eager, ac
cording lo Ambassador Gerard's re
port, to glvo such an unswor, but
thoy have mado It clear that Germany
cannot make any concessions which
would destroy the effoctlvenoss.ot tho
submarine. Thn Herman govern
ment, It is understood, is seeking to
find some method by which Ameri
cans traveling on ships primarily
used for passenger tratflo shall be
safe, while the submnrliin continues
Its activity against freight ships
carrying chiefly contraband.

Immediately thereafter tho oftlclnl
