WAR NEWS in BRIEF.

French-German reports agree
that the fighting on the western
end Of the battle. line in. northern
France continues without decisive
results to either side. In an an
! nouncement made this afternoon
in Paris the French war office says
that a violent action progresses
in the region of Roye, where the
allies have repulsed all German
attacks on the left wing.
The French statement says that
the army of the crown prince has
been driven back in the Argonne
district, and that slow but con-
tinuous progress is being made by
the allies in the Woevre district.
Nothing, it says, is to be noted on
the line from Rheims to the
Argonne region.
A statement from the German
army headquarters, issued last
night, said that the right wing of
the German army in France had
repulsed renewed efforts on the
part of the allies to outdank it.
10 the south of Roye the French
had been dislodged from their
positions, it was declared. Ger
man advances in the Argonne
region were recorded, while the
situation on the center was re-
ported as unchanged.
Reports from the eastern area
of the war continue conflicting.
Glowing accounts of Russian sue
cesses with a new invasion of
East Prussia emanate from Petro-
grad and other pro-Russian
sources. On the other hand, it is
claimed that the German army
which drove the Russians from
East Prussia is making serious
invasion to the east, and that an
important engagement along the
River Niemen is imminent, while
other German and Austrian forces
are checking the westward move
ment of the Russians in Russian
Poland and Galicia.
Reports indicate that the really
great battle is being fought at
Cracow, where an unnumbered
Russian force is attacking the
Germans and Austrians there
united in immense strength.
Contrary claims are made re-
garding the struggle Of the Aus
'trians against the armies Of
Servia and Montenegro. An Of
fetal statement from Servia says
that the Balkan allies have gained
a brilliant victory at Vafresenitza.
According to. Austrian reports the
invaders Of Bosnia are being scat
tered, while the counter invasion
of Servia proceeds satisfactorily.

VETERAN ACTOR DIES
IN CALIFORNIA

San Francisco. Cal. April 25.-McKee
Rankin, the veteran actor. who for wears
was one of the best known stars on the
dramatic stage and who "discovered'' and
developed Nance O'Neil. died here re-
Gently as the result of kidney trouble of
long standing.
Mr.. Rankin was one of the old-tin.
actors, whose art and methods belonged
10 a past generation. In his youth he
was regarded as one of the handsomest
men on the stage. He played with most
of the famous stars in the old DAYS and
was favorite with New York theater-
goers thirty years ago. His greatest in
dividual success was in The Danites,"
play of Norman life in which he
starred for many years. When age and
embonpoint made it no longer possible
for Mr.. Rankin to play hero in leading
roles he became a character actor and
won fame in many productions in char
acter parts. Among his notable char
acter portrayals was that of the father
in 'Magda.'
He is survived by a daughter, Phyllis
Rankin. Another daughter, Mrs. Sidney
Drew died recently.
