tal September 28 hy President Wilson,

GROUND GAINED BY ALLIES.
i Both British and French Better Posi
tions Fighting Violent.
London. In Champagne tho French
are attacking the Gorman second line
of trenches and aro making further
progress, but seemingly tho allies' of
fensive movement is not being carried
on with the same impetuosity which
J. v characterized tho first two days of ,the
( operations. The ucces03 won ova
recognized as important, but the main
obAt& which is to break through the
German lines, has not yet been ac
complished. Both the British and French greatly
have improved their positions, and by
gaining the hills and crosts from
which (hey can dominate the Ger
man lines of communication their
next attempt to win a decisive victory
should be made easier, in tho view of
experts here.
The French continue to push for
ward east of Souchez, aiming at tho
heights of Vimy, which command tho
plain to the east; while the British to
the north are making secure their hold
on the Lens-La Bassee road and aro
. beating off tho Gorman counter at
(9 tacks.

vent a raid by 500 "bandits who threat
ened to cross into American territory.
Col. Blocksom, in command of tho
troops near Progreso, imported
through Gen. Funston that tho ban
dlts seemed to constitute an indepen
dent band. "If Carranza does not stop
these bandits," telegraphed Col. Block
om, "I believe wo shall soon be com
palled to follow them across." Secre
tary Garrison said ho interpreted tho
colonel's telegram to mean that If
conditions did not improve he would
find it necessary to recommend that
American troops bo permitted to pur
, sue attacking forces across the lnter
" national line whenever necessary to
deal with them.

COMMANDERS GIVEN ORDERS
Right of Visit and Search to Be Ex

al Contraband Will Bo Torpedoed,
Says Message In Frye Case.
Washington, Sopt. 25. Germany's
latest noto on tho sinking of tho Amer
ican sailing ship William P. Fryo, pub
lished by tho stato department on
Thursday, dlsolosos an Important dip
lomatic victory for tho Unitod Statos.
Germany accoptB tho proposal to fix
damages by commission and to lot
Tho Haguo pass upon dlsputod troaty
rights involved. Sho also glvos assur
ances that no mora American ships
carrying conditional contraband will
bo destroyed undor any circum
stances. Ono thing seomod to officials cortain
Gorman naval commandors now aro
ordered to oxorclso tho rights of visit
and search with respect to all Ameri
can ships to detormlno what cargo the
vessels carry, thus making It prac
tically suro that nono will bo attacked
without warning or amplo tlmo for
paBsongers and crow to bo transferred
Irrespective of tho cargo.
Tho noto follows In part:
"With rogard first to tho ascertain
ment of tho damago by oxports, the
Gorman government boliovos that it
should disponso with tho nomination
of an umplro. Assuming that tho
Amorlcan govornmont agrees to this,
tho German government nnmos as its
export Doctor Kopny of Bremen, di
rector of tho North Gorman Lloyds; it
bogs to await tho designation of tho
American oxporL
"Tho German govornmont declares
that it agroos to tho proposal of the
Amorlcan govornmont to Beparato tho
question of lndomnlty from tho ques
tion of tho interpretation of tho Prussian-American
treaty of 1785, 1790 and
1828.
"It theroforo ngaln oxproBsly statos
that in making payment it doos not
acknowledge tho violation of tho treaty
as contended by tho Amorlcan sldo,
but It will admit that tho sottlomont
of tho question of indomnlty does not
projudtco tho nrrangemont of tho dif
ferences of opinion concerning tho In
terpretation of tho treaty rights, and
that this disputo is left to bo docidod
by Tho Haguo tribunal of arbi
tration. "Tho negotiations rolatlvo to tho
signing of tho compromlso provided by
article 62 of Tho Haguo arbitration
convention would best bo conducted
botwoon tho foreign offlco and tho
American embassy at Berlin, In vlow
of tho difficulties In tho way of in
structing tho imperial ambassador at
Washington.
"From tho standpoint of law and
equity It (tho Gorman govornmont) Is
not prevented, In its opinion, from
prococdlng against American ships
carrying contraband, according to its
intorprotatlon, until tho question is
sottlod by arbitration.
"For tho Gorman govornmont does
not nood to depart from tho applica
tion of gonorally rocognlzod rules of
tho law of marltimo war, as tho Dec
laration of London, unless and in so
far as an oxceptlon based on n troaty
Is established boyond a doubt. In tho
caso of tho present dlfforonco of opin
ion botwoon tho Gorman and American
governments such an oxcoptlon could
not bo taken to bo ostabllshod except
on tho ground of tho arbitral
award.
"Novortholoss tho German govorn
mont, In order to furnlBh to tho Amorl
can govornmont ovldonco of its con
ciliatory attitude, has Issuod orders to
tho Gorman naval forces not to do
Htroy American merchantmen which
havo loaded conditional contraband,
ovon when tho conditions of interna
tional law aro prosont, but to pormlt
thorn to continue tholr voyage unhin
dered it it is not possiblo to tako thora
into port."
