U BOAT CATA SORRY HEHADTO » SNK LEAN Knew Nothing About Wilson’s Latest Note on Submarine Warfare. TREATED CREW WELL. American Ship Was Sixth Sent to Bottom That Day 4 by the Submarine. 2 ABERDEEN, via London, July 28.— “They could not have treated us more courteously than they did," was the Unanimous verdict of Capt. Eugene Deik and the members of the crew of the American steamer Leclanaw when Questioned regarding their encounter with a German submarine. They travelied about sixty miles on th deck of the submersible and became ‘well acquainted with its crew, several of whom had been in America. One member of the Leclanaw's crew remained aboard the submarine at his own request. He was one of the mess boys of the American ship and as he was of German nationality, preferred Joining the crew of the underwater oraft to the probability of internment in England. At Kirkwall another of the Leelanaw’s mess boys was found to be a German and was detained. Capt. Delk, a resident of Philadel- phia, made a matter-of-fact statement regarding the sinking of his ship and was not inclined to add details to the main facts as he outlined them. “There is no story in it,” he said, “we stopped when a shot was fired behind us and then we had to leave, Our ship was shelled, bombed and torpedoed, but it took an hour and a half to sink her. The Germans took us aboard the submarine, carried us about sixty miles and then gave us directions for getting to Kirkwall, which we reached safely in about twelve hour: _ ‘The members of the crew, of whom there are thirty-two besides the cap- tain, explained that the German com- mander apologized for the necessity of sinking the ship, but said it was forced upon him by the fact that the Leclanaw was carrying contraband and he was not in the habit of throw- Ing overboard contraband cargoes. The crew of the Geaman boat con- versed affably in good English with the Leelanaw’s men. The Germans had no idea of the contents of the latest American note on the sinking of the Lusitania, for thelr newspapers were two days old. The Leelanaw was the sixth vessel the submarine had sunk that day, and it started in pursuit of two others when the Americans had returned to their boats after their long ride on the submersible'’s deck. The sailors from the Leelanaw were cold and wet when fhey landed after their twelve hours’ row in lifeboats, fas they had been almost swamped several times in cross tides off the Orkney Islands. They will leave to- day for Dundee, where their state- ments will be taken by the United States Consul, The crew of the Leelanaw will sail for New York next Saturday on board the steamer St. Paul Leeli iw Was FI When Sunk.

ROME, July 28—In a ries of spectacular night battles, tho Italians have captured one position after an- other around Gorizia. Despatches re- ceived here to-day repeated the ru- mor that the Austrians were prepar- ing to vacuate the fortress city, though War Office dispatches offered no confirmation, ‘The Austrians stili hold the heights of Podgora, dominating Gorisia from the west, and are pouring down a heavy fire on Bersagiieri attempting to storm their trenches. The fighting here is of most desperate character and despatches agree that the Ital- fans have suffered heavy losses. For more than a fortnight the fight- ing has occurred under most oppres- sive weather conditions, the tempera ture ranging above 90 and often above 100 degrees, Night offers but little re- ef and both afmies are becoming ex- hausted in the terrific struggle. Several of the more important of | the ridges of the Carso plateau aro) now held by the Italians, Monte Sei) Busi and Monte San Michele have been captured, the Bersaglieri and Al- pinists combining in the attack and | taking several hundred prisoners, The text of the War Office state- ment is as follows: “In the Alone Valley we now are In full possession of the heights of the right slope, having occupied Monte Lavanesch an@ the Pissona crest. | From points dominating the opposite | slope the enemy’s artillery attempted | to hinder our operations, but without | success. After a long preparation by | artillery of medium calibre, the enemy attacked with several detachments of infantry during the night of the 26th. | Although supported by numerous ma- chine guns, these troops were re- pulsed. “In the Monte Nero region the struggle continues unabated notwith- standing a fog which prevents the artillery from assisting in the opera- tions, | “At Plava the second operation un- | dertaken to enlarge the bridgehead is developing favorably. “On the Carso plateau the battle continued yesterday. Our troops ad- vanced along the whole front with great dash and boldness, conquering toward the left wing a strong posi- tion on San Michele commanding the greater part of the plateau. After being subjected to a violent cross) fire from the enemy's artillery of | all calibres, our forces were obliged to fall back below the crest where they are maintathing their positions, On the centre we progressed toward San Martino, carrying with the bayonet trenches and a redoubt cov- ering it. “On the right wing, by the perfect timing of an infantry advance with the supporting fire of artillery, we completed at nightfall the conquest of a position on Monte Dei, driving out inch by inch the enemy, who was strongly entrenched there, We mado about 3,200 prisoners, including one Heutenant-colonel and forty-one other officers, We took five machine guns, two small cannon, trench mortars, quantities of rifles, ammuni- Where Is the Bathing Suit Going to Stop, With the “HE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESD Abbreviation Below and the Increasing De- colletage Above?—The Only Logical Answer Is “Where Eve Began.” By Marguerite Mooers Marshall.

SOUTHEND, England, (Correspondence of thy Press).—Two companies of terri- torials stationed near here brought down an aeroplane with rifle fire early this week, but they are not doing any ting over their feat, for the vic- tim proved to be a British army ma- chine, They were guarding Canpey Island and had instructions to shoot at any aviator flying over the island without giving an agreed signal, The victim of their markmanship either did not know this rule or ig- nored it, and when he got within range a volley was fired at him, One of the bullets punctured the aero- plane's gasoline tank and the avia- tor was compelled to alight. When the territorials ran up to complete their triumph by taking the aviator prisoner they were greeted with a volley of strong language. The profanity was unmistakable English. The commanding officer of the ter- ritorials attempted to assuage his wrath by pointing out that Ne had served as the means of not only test- ing the shooting of the territoriais, hi ved that an plane could be brought down by rifle fire, But the aviator refused to play gtacetully role of a vicarious tar- } July 16} Associated |against the bathing suit of 1915, we concurred, The season's surf suit is a cross between a ball gown and a circus costume, To begin with, it displays what is probably the shortest skirt ever worn in this climate by an adult female of the Caucasian race—footlight fashions excepted. The intelligent reader will deduce almost instantly that other things besides the skirt are displayed. But never mind now about that, or them, It is the skirt which is under consideration, which has been under consideration from the sands, from the hotel piazza, from the porch of the tired business man’s summer cot tage. It’s a little thing to make so much trouble. It doesn’t reach even to the knees of its wearer, On many suits, at least, it has none of that excessive fulness which, artists say, destroys the beautiful natural lines of the human figure, ‘The sternest censor of the deep damnation of the taking- off must admit that there is one charge which cannot be brought It does notning, nothing at all, to the beautiful natural lines of the human figure, Not a line is omitted, or even blurred. Of course, there are human figures in which beautiful lines are scarce. But the bathing suit of to-day plays no favorites; the unbeautiful lines are allowed just as much prominence as any others, The suit undoubtedly does not obscure a diving Venus; it renders equajly conspicuous the wom- an who is built on the plan of a bar- rel buoy and whose color scheme is ngt dissimilar, with her scarlet cap, fage and neck topping the popular Mork ome piece sult, humble, modest bloomer is Perhaps the abbreviated nethe “street dresses and ball dresses shall bi no more.
