Slow to Declare
Cotton Contraband
London, Juiy 26.—Despite the re
cent demand by part of the British
press that cotton be declared con
traband, the government has not
changed its'decision on this point.
In the House of Commons today
Lord Robert Cecil, parliamentary
under secretary for foreign affairs,
declared that Great Britain did not
want to deal unfairly with neutrals,
whatever Germany may do.
“So far as cotton reaching Ger
many is concerned,” said Lord
Roberts “it will make no difference
whether it is declared contraband
or not.”

Amsterdam, July 27 Au impregnable line of fortitications de
fended by heavy guns, is being bwit by the German army in Bel
gium from Namur to the German boundry. The construction of this
powerful second line of defenses is evidently in anticipation of the
time when the whole British army is in the field and assumes its long
expected offensive The German troops have constructed a gigantie
railway station at Nice to which point a new military railroad has
been built. The new fortitications which are more than 55 miles in
length are also designed to protect new military railway lines,
\ WAR BREVITIES
| The European armies are battling furiously on the easterm,
southern and western war fronts.
The Teutonic allies still claim advances in northwest Russim
and also in that long sector in Poland where the envelopement of
Warsaw is the objective. The Italians assert that are still making
gains against the Austrians along the Isonzo front and Paris
claims, and Berlin admits, the capture in Alsace of advanced
German trenches north of Muenster.
The French capture, Paris says, gives them heights 'that dom
inate the principal valley of the Fecht as well as the highway from
Notre Dame de Taois Epis. The captured front is a mile and.a
third in length.
A Swiss newspaper declares it has received a dispateh fiomm
Laibach Austria, announcing the beginning of the evacuatiomn: of
Gorizia by the Austrians, and declaring also that it is only =
question of hours before Pedgora will be surrendered under the
Itaiian assaults. It is added that tne Austrians at Doberdo guand
ing the coute to Eriest have been unable to hold their position.
Here, however, Vienna says the Italian attack failed “with heavi
er losses than ever.,” and thatafter the battle the Austrians held@
their original positions.
