states that theie is no bellicose semimen iin America. The conflict between President Wilson and Mr \\". J. Ryan is of old origin, and arose from other causes than the loss of the Lusitauia. The breach was rendered inevitable through President Wilson's drafting ot the last Note without reierence to his Cabinet or consulting Mr Bryan. Gerhard adds that there are conflicting views over the Lusitauia, and the rest of the misunderstanding is capable of peaceful settlement. lie accuses Renter of poisoning the wells ol public opinion on a grand scale oy circulating mendacious reports through neuti-j) countries. (Received Tin's Day 11.20 a.m.) WHAT "STRIKE" MEANS. Pans, June 17. Mr Ben Tillett visited the front. In torvie-wod. he said that he hall learned the meaning of the word "strike. ' " \Ye will go and strike now -with every ounce of British grit, energy, gold and brains behind the blow. "When the ■workers in England realise tfio situation they will get. their coats off and give the soldiers proper hacking. Wo want shells, gas and every death-dealing device conceivable." RUSSIAN FLEET ACTIVE. The Temps Potrograd correspondent states that the Russian scpiadron severely damaged the Turkish cruiser Hamidieh. VALUE OF MACHINE GUNS. The Daily Mail urges the Government to hasten the production ot machine guns by placing orders for them without limit in Great Britain, Canada and the United States. It says the Germans virtually are substituting men | armed with machine guns foi the oldj fashioned infantry armed with rifles. I Experience proves that an army which ; attempts to fight machine guns with rifles is committing the same mistake as a man who attempts to run a footrace against a locomotive. ZEPPELIN AND AEROPLANE. \ Paris, June 17. I A message received via Switzerland | says that Count Zeppelin's technical I assistants at Fredriehshaven are greatj ly perturbed at the result of Lieuton-. ant Warneford's stfccesfi in Belgium. Count Zeppelin always has represented that danger from an attack by aeroplane was negligible. His expert advisors now say that either it is necessary to increase the buoyancy of the Zeppelins by carrying fewer bombs or make ■ a radical change in their design.
