BERLIN, June 18. (Via Lon

Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerard, who has
coine from the German embaseyv at j
Washington, with messages bearing'
upon the German-American situa-
tlon. upon the preparatory work of
Germany's answer to the American I

That Dr. Meyer-Gerhard's - first ex

the official position of the colonial sec
retary, and there are other Indications
that Dr. Solf 1 taking an Interest In

many's politics, concerning which It 1
evident that titers are conflicting cur
rents, may be expected to be favorable
to an ultimate understanding.
It la atlll too early to predict what
form the German note will take. Ap
parently an endegvor will bo made to
open the way to further discussion.
The newspaper war between advocates
of a friendly settlement and the no
compromise representatives continues to
rage. Naval writers In particular urge
thut Germany cannot afford to yield
anything regarding the principles and
practices of submarine warfare, but the
very violence of their attack upon the
advocates of an understanding Indicates
that the latter are na without Influence.

section of his statement on "The

gests mediation as "the way out."
As a preventive of war Mr. Bryan
proposed universal extension of his

treaty plan.
"Mediation," the formor secretary
says, "Is the means provided by in
ternational agreement through which
the belligerent nations ran be
brought into conference. Investiga
tion of all disputes is the moans by
which future wars can be avoided,
and the cultivation of International
friendship la the means by which the
desire for war can be rooted out."

In elaborating his plan for restoration
of peace, Mr. Dryan urges:
That neutral nations In advocating In
vestigation can crystallise, sentiment In
favor of peace into a coercive force and
flan offer mediation jointly of severally;
that the warring nations Join In a treaty
to provide for Inveatigation "by a per
manent International commission of every
dispute that may arise, no matter what
Ita oharacter or nature," and that a

FSJTROORAD (Via London). June
IS. An official review of some recent oc
currences along the Austrian battle front,
which, among other things, rail atten
tion to the fact that the progreaa of the
Austro-Oerman foreea In Oallcta hae been
dearly bought, waa given, out In Petro
grad today. H reads: , -)
The development of the battle elong
the Tlsmenltsay-JSvlke front, along which
one ef the sit armies attacking our forces
In Oallola la operating will aarve to give
some Idea of the magnitude of the ac
tion In thla region.
"The significance ef the operations In
the vicinity of Stry were found to be an
endeavor to turn our front opposed to

"May S3 saw the beginning of tho de
