CLAIM MEYER GERHARD GERMAN ARMY OFFICER

WASHINGTON, June 16. No cloud appeared on the international horizon today to disturb the optimism of administration officials as to a satisfactory settlement of the differences between the United States and Germany. In fact all advices were declared to strengthen the belief now general that President Wilson and the kaiser will reach an agreement preserving the friendly relations between the two nations and resulting in honorable peace for both. The report that Meyer Gerhard, said to be a special envoy of Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, to acquaint the kaiser with the true American attitude toward Germany really is a high official of the German military staff, and the state department was tricked into obtaining safe conduct for him was not credited generally in high official circles today. Secretary Garrison denied he had had any correspondence, direct or indirect, or any meeting with Dr. Meyer, or Meyer Gerhard, or a Gerhard, who the report stated wanted to buy 350,000 rifles from the war department. "I know nothing whatever about this story that a Dr. Meyer or Meyer Gerhard was trying to buy these rifles in

2 RUSS ARMIES FALL BACK AS TEUTONS COME Petrograd Admits Von Mackensen's Smashing Attack Forces Czar's Troops to Retreat Into Russia. PETROGRAD, June 16. Retirement of two of the Russian armies in the eastern theatre of war before the furious assaults of the Germans and Austrians is announced in an official communique issued by the Russian war office today. Attacks by . the forces uader field marshal Von Mackensen, of the German army, which lasted over a period of three days, compelled the Russians holding positions t of the San er, northeast of Przemysl In Galicia, to fall back. The Russian army which has been fighting the Austro-Germans on the border of Bukowina, between the Pruth and Dniester rivers, has retired to Bessarabia (Russian territory). PREPARE FOR ITALY. VIENNA, June 16. Great bodies of German reinforcements have been poured into Galicia during the past five days in order to enable the Austrians to shift troups to the southwestern theatre of war to fight the Italians. News of the capture of Mosciska by the Austro-Germans, and the retreat of the Russians from Buchowina caused great rejoicing here today. It is officially announced that Francis Joseph has blotted from the Austrian army lists the Twenty-eight Bohemian regiments because it surrendered to the Russians. TURK SUCCESSES. CONSTANTINOPLE, June 16 Destruction of Anglo-French positions defended with mine throwers and machine guns, by the Turks is reported today. "On the Dardanelles front on Sunday our artillery destroyed positions defended with mine throwers and machine guns. Opposite Burnu one of our aviators dropped bombs on an enemies camp. ARRANGE FOR PICNIC. Plans for a picnic in July were started last night at a meeting of the South Side Improvement association. The date has not been fixed. behalf of the German government," said Secretary Garrison. "I never heard of the man except through the newspapers. At the out break of the European war I said that if we sold any of these rifles, and any

of them got into the hands of the bel- j statement issued by the war office toligerents, we would be unable to con-Uav it states that according to the

vince any nation that the sale was innocent on our part. Accordingly I issued an order withholding all of these rifles from sale." Dr. Meyer Gerhard did not receive a regular safe conduct from the British and French embassies. Instead he carried with him a letter of identification signed by Secretary of State Bryan, according to the official announcement at the state department today. The impression of department officials was that the British and French embassies in Washington certified to the sagnature of Secretary Bryan This letter has all the purposes of an official safe conduct, while it relieved the two embassadors of the responsibility of having issued the document. The letter was issued at the oral request of the German ambassador, and the certification by the French and British ambassadors was an oral arrangement. At no time was the identity of Dr. Gerhard questioned.

GILES SAYS GARFIELD REQUIRES MORE HELP THAN WHITEWATER No immediate recommendation will be made by Superintendent Giles of the city schools to the school board, of the proposal of D. D. Ramsey, principal of Whitewater school, that a modern school building, fully equipped, be constructed a a substitute for the present structure in the North End. Mr. Giles declared today that the members of the school board were and had been fully aware of"tfteconantons of Whitewater school, that the con gestion was no greater than existed in other schools and was not as great as that Jn Garfield schooL He sald that as much money had been expended to improve Whitewater school as any other grade school. As an answer to the statements of persons advocating the expenditure of money to improve the grade schools rather than spend any more at present on Garfield and the Higlj school, the sunprintenrlent is mmniline' stai tistics an(J data to show the exact amount which has been spent on grade schools and on high schools. Mr. Giles declined to give a detailed statement of his opinion regarding the situation of Whitewater school, preferring to wait until he can make his figures public. The superintendent, however, left no doubt but that he would first see the problem of eliminating the congestion in Garfield school and in t! High school solved before lie will u port any plan entailing the spendin of.monev for imnrovement on the grade schools. Or, at least for the construction of a new school building in the North end.
