can wil rout in 8 break between Germany and the United Stal The climax of it : President 'warning to Germany in regard to. sh. rights of Americans comes in the fin- al sentence of his note, a8 follows: -- "Friendship itself prompts it (the United States Government) to say to the Imperial German Government that repetition. by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in con- travention of those rights must be re- garded by the Government of the United States, when they affect Am- erican citizens, as deliberately un- friendly." But that is not the only expression through which President Wilson voices "the determination of himself and the American people, He notifies Ger- many that the United States will contend for its rights as a neutral, "without - compromise and at any' cost." Practices of the German nav- al forces, such as have been protested by this: Government, if persisted in, will constitute "an unpardonable of- fence against the sovereignty of any neutral nation affected." As against these severe statements there is a feature of the note which is expected to go far toward allaying the deep anti-American feeling that is likely to be aroused in Germany. The President's warning that the United States, as a promise on the part of this Government to deal as vigorously and: insistently with Brit- ish violation of neutral rights in the] - high seas as with Germany's illegal acts. It often has been asserted that could the German Government and people be convinced that the United States was sincerely endeavoring only to assert its rights and not to favor the allies as against Germany, much of the resentment caysed by the sub- marine issue would instantly disap- pear. This expression was deliberately written into the note with this phase of the German attitude in mind. There is still another feautre of the note. in which the German Govern- ment may, if it chooses to do so, find some cause for gratification. The President, in two paragraphs written by his own hand, adverts to the re- marks of the German note of July 8, about the mutual interest of the two Governments in "the freedom of the seas," and opens the way to Germany to prove the sincerity of her state- ment that she really desires law to reign supreme during the war. ITALIAN ARMIES DRIVING AHEAD Great Turning Movement Sweeping All Before It With Irresistible Dash. A' despatch from Rome says:--The situation of - Gorizia, practically. en- veloped on all sides by. Italians, is hourly becoming more precarious. The great turning movement of our allies is simply sweeping all before it with irresistible dash, . .The Italian troops so far have driven the enemy 'from their path wherever he has been en- countered. A fresh gain of ground recorded in favor of Gen, Cadorna's troops who facé the heavy artillery fire of the enemy, and continue to press forward, wrenching the country from the en- emy yard by yard. While Gorizia in the south is being hard pressed by the Italians, Tolmino in the north, hard- ly less important from a stragetie point of view, is practically surround- ed. Gen. Cadorpa, thanks to the su- perior organization and skill "with which he has manoeuvred his armies, has been able simultaneously to at- tempt the reduction of Tolmino and Gorizia. The fight for Gorizia con- tinues with unabated vigor. The pro-' gress of the Italians is slow but sure. Heavy Italian artillery is battering to pieces: Austrian defences. Throughout the struggle between the two armies has been of a desperate and sangu- inary nature. Despite fierce Aus- trian attacks the Italians held their ground, and advanced to the neigh- B haod of Plava, where they drove the enemy back with heavy loss. So far all Austrian attempts to force the Italian enveloping line have failed |: disastrously, the enemy being pursued in 'turn and driven from the trenches; with the result that these severe en- gagements have allowed 'Italians to secure 'a firm footing om the lower left bank of the Isonzo. = EE CHILE WILL NOT PAY FOR LOSS OF BARQUE. France Claimed Germans Sank Boat in Neutral Waters. A "despatch from Santiago, Chile, says: The French Government has presented a claim to Chile for' the French barque Valentine, which was sunk last November by the Germans within the territorial waters of Chile.' Chilé has' rejécted the claim, declar- ing that she had kept her neutrality. The Valentine was sent to the bot-- tom by a German cruiser half a mile oe ye ade" opti uan ez: CRITICAL SITUATION DEVELOPS IN GREECE Majority of People Favor Interven: tion on Side of Allies, But King and Staff Obdurate. A despatch from Milan says:--The | situation in Greece is becoming more critical daily. The great majority of the people favor intervention on the side of the Allies, but the King,|38 Court and General Staff are more pro-German than ever. Their in- fluence has succeeded in getting the meeting of Parliament postponed un- til August 16th, the last delay allow- ed by the Constitution. The General Staff is also taking measures to sup- press any interventionist manifesta- tions which might influence Parlia- ment, Bit by bit large bodies of troops are being concentrated in and around At- hens. The struggle between Parlia- ment and the army may lead to grave incidents in Nationalist and Demo- cratic circles. ~ Great anxiety pre- vails. 'The interventionists, includ- ing Venizelos, do not conceal their discouragement as the long delays and hesitation of the Gunaris Cabinet | © have greatly compromised chances of success if Greece intervenes in the war. ~ At the same time, the delay in the meéting of Parliament is not al- together unfavorable to the Venizelos party, as it gives it time to agitate and reorganize its forces. wren GERMANS MAKING SHELLS FOR AL 2 tories in U.
