Two Aeroplane Duels Feature Fighting in West British And Germans Eacl Win One

LONIX'X. June 2S. Two exciting aeroplane duels, fought high in the air, one of which was won by tin Germans and the other by the Ifritish. were described in an oftieial ' eye witness" narrative Issued today through the government press bureau. The account, which is dated June .'C, follows: "On the ISt'i we occupied a section of a German trench -50 yards long south of the Vpres-Poolers railway. In this quarter some loss was inflicted by the Germans in a cum. binel bomb and machine pun attack. Among the other objectives of tho German guns during the day were the ground around Hooge. east of Ypres, and Hill No. '.0. south of Ypres. poisonous k;is shells being used against the former. "Near Armentieres we tired a series of mines, some of which levelled the length of a parapet on the German first line works. After the explosion the enemy could be seen retreating hastily across the open ground and were effectively dealt with by our artillery and machine gun. "South of Armentieres the Germans on Saturday wasted much ammunition in a night bombardment in addition to the exploding of small ineffective mines north of the town. The area north of Ypres was shelled with projectiles filled with deadly furncs. "On Sunday two engagements occurred in the air noar Itotilers. llritD TEST OP U. S Efforts to Get $50,000,000 Worth of Merchandise Purchased in Germany Furnish Example of Damage. WASHINGTGN. June J S. While the detention in Z Paso ef Gen. Victorians Hucrta. the former .Mexican tlictator, and his lieutenant. Gen. I'ascual Orozco, and the discovery of a plot to start a new revolution in .Mexico, today overshadowed everything else in administration circles, the stale department did not halt work on its note te Great Britain In protest against the shipping embargo. The Washington government has determined what it will say te King George's advisers on the? principles of law involved ami i: .s concrdeil that this will point out strongly that Great Britain has no legal right to impose the rest rictiems on American commerce that it has under its order in council. Decision as to these principles was reacheel long before the recent memorandum on the shipping problem was received from London and this document did not alter these vie ws in any manner. Tho ediief task now before the department is te establish the facts in connection with individual seizures of American cargoes under the British order ami to make certain that this date cannot be- disputed by the London authorities. Importer IrcMit Iata. In this connection it is expected that the arguments presentee! to the state department on Saturday by the committee of New York importers, who asked the government to aid them in getting to this country $,(. t'tm.OOO worth of merchandise they purchased in Germany prior to March 1. will prove of great help to the framers ef the note. In fact, it was indicated today by officials that the department may incorporate in the note substantially the data presented by the importers. On of tho chief points raised by the New York business men was that the British blockade in effect constitutes an unlawful destruction of the most important part of the commerce ef the l.'nited Xtates. otHckils generally were of the opinion that the importers presented their ease to tho department at an opportune moment and the information thev furnished and the arguments presented prove d a strong support for the position taken by the. American government. In its note of March :o it was recalled todav. the state departno nt took the position that Great Britain could not legally interfere with the shipping between neutral port?. Bending the completion of the new. note, it was expected by officials that the state department would send the statement of the importers to Ambassador Page at London to be presented informally to the British admiralty for its information. Bulgaria's "Price Rejected by A Hies RFCHAREST. Roumanta.
