across tliu Duiotor, bill tlus retreat,
in the opinion of London military
critics, is almost entirely due to the
battle in the Lemberg legion, where
the positions of the Russians miide

Only on the eastern righting front
me events of moment occurring, so
iar as is revealed by the news which
filters through from the vast field of
operations. The Teutonic sweep
eastward along that front is contin
uing mid the chief question which
the military expert aie endeavoring
to unswer is how far it will extend
before being halted liv the next de
termined defensive stand on the part
of the Russians,
Teuton Advance Continues
With the line of the Dniester north
nf Nalie. evacuated, the main field
of contention just at ptesent seems
to be to the north of I.emberg, where
stubborn rear guard actions are be
ing; fought by the rft renting: Ifus
hiniis. Latest A' 'Lilian reports nicn
tio'i the operation, at length and the
Ifussiun official sluleinent admits the
continued advance of the Teutons.
More effective resistance appar
ently is bring offered by the Oruud
J)uko Nicholas forces further to the
north, in the southern part of Rus
sian Poland, hpwover, the ltusiaus
reporting that they have thwarted a
determined attempt liv the Autriuus
to drive thiougli.
The only other hints of stirring
activity come from the Daidanelles,
where, according to Turkish reports,
there has been heavy artillery tiring
with infantry attack, which the
Turks say they have lupuNed.
On Western IVoiit
In tin west there have been spor
ailie atiu'ks by the French, who re
port progress through an infantry
operation along the road between
Angres and Alilain. (iermaii ac
counts declare all attempts by the
French to gain ground were frus
trated. The French concede the cor
rectness of a leeeul (lenuau claim to
a gain in the Verges, but declaie part
of the ground lost was recaptured.
The. advance nf the Italians ban
been very slow, but if it in to be en
tirely stopped more Austrian troops
must in all probability be transferred
from the (laliciau line unless Austria
is willing- to sun under the seaport of
Tiiest. Triest, however, being the
first important milestone of the load
to Vienna, it no doubt will be defend

I. Ilnncroft, head of the New Hamp
shire stato hospital for tho insane,
and a member of tho federal rommls
soln which oxamlned Hnrry IC, Thaw
during his sojourn In New Hampshire,
testified today that n hi opinion
Thaw not only was sauo but n I way 8
hud been sane. Dr. liuucroft testi
fied as an export alienist In tho Jury
proceedings to determine Thnw'R
mental condition,
Thaw's act In killing Stanford
White, Dr. llancroft said, was not the
product of u systematic delusion,
such as characterizes tho true par
anoiac "The killing of Stanford Whlto,"
ho said, "appeared to iih a passionate,
Impulsive act, growing out of a condi
tion of mind duo chiefly to angor and
Jealousy, which was tho final culmi
nation of a ceilos of circumstances
that had been bearing down on him
a long time. It did not seem n Ope
of paranoia hut was duo to Jealousy
of Mr. White, not to a diseased con
dition of mind.
"Thaw know Hint Whllo had been
antagonistic to him In nn unpleasant
way. Ho wanted to get even with
White. Ills act was tho product of a
sane mind, which, after ho bad In
dulged In champagne, suddenly lost
ItH control."
"Then you bollevo Thaw was never
Insano?" asked Doputy Attorney Gen
eral Hecker.
"I do," was the reply, "Another
reason for my belief Is that Thaw
expresses regret for his deed, A
paranoiac nover expressos regrot. He
continually tries to JiiBtlfy tho deed
and no amount of persuasion can con
vince him that ho has douo wrong."

HHULIN, June 'Jl.l)r. Anton
Meyer Geihnrd, ultachu of tho Gcr
ninii colonial office, who was sent
fiom tho United Stales to Herlin by
the Gorman ambassador, Count Von
Hernslorff, to explain the viovvp of
the United S'lutes regaiding' the Lu-
sitauia incident, published tin article
in Der Tug today on "Germany nipt
America,'' in which he any hit ex-1
pcricucc convinced him thai -both
eouiiliiei misunderstood each other.
"It ii true,'' miya Dr. Meyer Ger
hard, in his aiticlc, "that the Ameri
eau press, with some laudable excep
tions, especially the Germau-Aiueri-enn
)ii)crH, have not succeeded in
remaining neutral, but the iiilltieneo
of the press upon public opinion is
sometimes gieatly overestimated.
Doubtless large sections ol the Aiuer
ii'iin people are friendly toward Ger
many, whose efficient organization is
daily winning new friends and arous
ing interest in things German.
"One excellent effect of the wnr is
upon Gernian-Amerieaiis, fjht with
out sacrifice of their loyalfytto' their
ndoplcd country have fdiovvnldronK
leineiuhrnnee of their descent, their
education and their culture, Desidc
them, on tho other side of tile ocean,
there are wide circles who Hvmpn-
thie with Germany.1
Alluding to the discussion over tliu
nmmunititui ipi'cstiou, Dr. .Meyer Ger
hard said:
"Germans often mistake largo am
munition orders for filled orders, To
a large extent hucIi orders nunhang
iug big factories into ainmunitioii
works. This ia regrettable, b.ut the
writer ia convinced that lnrgi parts
o fthe American people disapprovo of
it and u popular vote, would, show u
considerable umjmity against tho
practice. GeimiiiiH must discrimin
ate between business men ncccpting
orders and the greut iiiiih of Ameri
