BBVMfS RESIGNATION PUZZIES THE GERMANS
GERMANS REPULSED IN
ATTACK ON LEMBERG
» —~ ■ i - — -
LONDON, June 14.—News from the
eastern front Is a trifle disconcerting
as both sides are again claiming the
advantage in the fighting which con
tinues with terrible fury along the en
tire front.
The Germans arc concentrating for a
terrific assault on Lemberg, according
to Merlin reports, while ttie Russian
General Staff asserts that the enemy
have been completely checked in that
vicinity. The Russian statement is
confirmed by the Petrograd correspond
ent of the Daily News who states in a
report that the Germans have made a
series of fierce assaults but have been
compelled to abandon the attack be
cause of tlie severe opposition encoun
tered. Russian reports also deny the
general advance claimed by Berlin
south of Rozdol tind it is contrarily as
serted that the Germans have made no
gains whatever during the past twen
ty-four hours.
GERMANS PUZZLED
AT BRYAN’S MOVE
BERLIN, June 14.—The Berlin press
is much astounded at the resignation
of Bryan since the announcement of
the tenor of the American note. The
comment from nearly ever.' organ in
dicates a complete inability to under
tand what the real motive of the Am
erican statesman was and many openly
ing or rne matter, tne Berliner fas
ten states editorially that the action
of Bryan is unexplainable and con
cludes that there is something sinister
in the action which is not indionterl in
the American note. The article also
Bays, “The former secretary seems to
have for less confidence than we in
tlie honest desire of the American gov
ernment to arrive at some kind of com
promise with as over the disputed
matters." No official comment over the
the foreign office refuse? tu indicate
tlie time of reply.
