On the Gallipoli peninsula heavy fighting has been progress. On June 19 a desperate engagement occurred along a Turkish trench and, later in the British lines, in which 1,000 Turk- ish dead were left on the ground, ac- cording to the British official state- ment. Prior to this the Turks had thrown 450 high explosive shells on the left and ceater trenches of the allies, had repulsed a British brigade and had penetrated the British lines. But a well organized attack by their re- inforcements turned the tide of bat- tle. ‘With the heavy guns of the Austro- German allies turned on Lemberg and within range, the fall of the Galician capital is looked for at any time, con- fidently by Vienna and Berlin, and with apparent resignation by those ob- servers in London and Petrograd who have been following closely the trend of event 2,000,000 Austro-Germans. More than two million Austrians and Germans have been operating along the fronts almost encircling Lemberg, and with the Russians withdrawal be- hind the Grodek lines, the evacuation of Lemberz as a base was accom- plished. That the complete evacuation of Lembers, without much resistance, is probable, is indicated by Petrograd despatches declaring that c movement cannot be avoided acrifice of men out of proportion strategic importance of the Italians Suffer Reverses. From the Italian from:, by way of Berlin, come reports of serious re- verses suffered by the Italians in their attempts to storm the Austrian posi- tions along the Isonzo river.

Dutch Newdoapers Say United States Was Ogposed to Such Movement. DID STEAMER CAMERONIA ENCOUNTER SUBMARINE? Passengers Assert She Did But the Owners Denied the Assertion, The Hague, Via London, June 22, 10.40 p. m.—The Handelsblad in its ed- ition of today asserts that Japan was prevented from sending three hundred thousand troops to Europe as the re- sult of an unofficial hint to Great PBritain from Washington that such an expedition would be undesirable, The newspaper declares that a Jap- anese army of that strensth was land- ed in Manchuria, where it was exer- xising preparatory to departure for the European battlefild, but t Great Britain, after receiving the.inti mation from the United Stat i formed Tokio that she was ! under American pressure, mus! gquest that the Japanese government do-| mothing more concerning the despatch of an expeditionary corps to Europe.” “After this,” the Handelsblad con- cludes, “the Japanese army disappear- ed from Manchuria, probably much to the relfef of Great Britain, which hasy never desired ‘Japanese participation in the fighting in Europe.” London, June 22.—The Anchor line, owner of the steamship Cameronia, which is reported to have had a nar- row escape from a sumbarine in_the Irish sea on her vovage from New York to Liverpool, denied today that the vessel had encountered any under- sea craft. Passengers on the Came- ronia, however, corroborated the story told yesterday by Peter Fletcher of New York, who asserted the Camero- nia attempted to ram a submarine. Carroll Winslow of New York, de- {clared that two submarines were seen near the vessel. The Cameronia at- tempted to ram one of them, Mr. Winslow said, and went over the un. der-water craft, which came up broad- side to the liner. RBefore it could get into position to fire a torpedo, he said, the liner left it far astern. Mr. Winslow told his story at the Ameri- can consulate and protested against what he consldered the failure to give needed protection to the vessel so near the British coast. Movements of Steamships.

The proceedings today consisted of the selection of a jury and the opening of the pr itor, who related Anc of the death: of s, Beatrice Mundy, Alice am and Margaret T.oft h appeared unperturbed. Not- anding the interest in the case, the court was not crowded today, al- though among the spectators were several prominent personages. The details of the brides’ deaths as related by Prosecutor Bodkin were identical with the evidence given at the preliminary hearing which was held in the Bow street court on March 23, and disclosed that Smith, under the name of John Lloyd, married Margaret at a registry office at Bath in December, 1914. The couple came to T.ondon the same day and the next morning the bride was found dead in her bath A verdict of accidental death was returned. lice that Lloyd was not the husband's name and he was arrested and identi- fled, according to the police, as George Joseph Smith, who in November, 1913, had married at Portsmouth, Alice Burnham. She had been found dead in her bath a month after the cere- mony. His marriage to Beatrice Mun- dy _in July, 1912, was also traced. The prosecntor declared that the motive for the alleged murders was the greed for money which Smith would obtain from ihe’ insurance on the women’s lives. In.this way, said the prosecutor, Smith had obtained 2,300 pounds ($14,000) and was in a fair way to obtain 700 pounds more when he was errested. PLEADING FOR LIFE OF CHARLES BECKER.

There are three arguments which are not fallacies. These three arzuments are the moral, economic and biological arguments.
