Wins Notable Victory


 London, May S.--u0:30 p. m,)-According to Berlin and Vienna, the German and Austrian armies have achieved notable victory in West Galicia, crushing the en- tire Russian center along a front of many miles, or as the Berlin official statement puts 1t, across the whole west ern top of Galcia, from near the Hun garian border to the point where the River Dunajec joins the Vistula, right at the frontier of Poland.
 Though the 5000 prisoners the Teutonic allies say they have taken does not com pare with the number which some of Field Marshal Won Hindenburgs rushes netted him in the north, the achievement if subsequent reports bear it out, will. mean at least temporary caack to the Russians hammering their way westward since the fall of Przemysl.
 Berlin is celebrating the victory to- night, though it is admitted flags have flown before full details are to hand.
 England and France make no claim to gains in the west, the British merely O. in Flanders. have been beaten back; the French confirm this tl
 The Germans maintain they are pushing forward to the northwest of Ypres and toward St. Julen. which they captured after the attack following their first ex- tensive use of gas. but which they were forced to yield under counter attacks.
 Tn the fighting in the Baltic provinces also Berlin finds cause to rejoice. Re- 1ecting the Russian contention that it is only sporadic cavalry raid. Berlin wire less comment received tonight says it seriously threatens the Russian right and the fact that troops could be moved 70 far northwest before they encountered resistance is considered q reflection on the Russian intelligence system.
 So far as claims go. it was an Austro- German day. A number of vessels, neu- i tral and otherwise, fell a victim to Ger man submarines Norway being particu- Iarly heavy loser.

Diplomatic Representations on Loss of the Gulflight Await Official Inyesti-
 gatiOn of Disaster

Washington. April 3.-Pending an official investigation of the circum- stances of the wrecking of the Ameri- can steamer Gulflight in the English channel, the United States will defer diplomatic represent liens as well as any pronouncement of policy. Two messages were received today from American Consul Stephens at Plymouth England. reporting the Gulflight was torpedoed off the sciny Islands Saturday and that her captain died of heart failure and two sailors drowned
 Consul Stephens last message today was as follows.
 1 "Gulflight lowed into Crow Sound. l Scilly, by British patrol. Torpedoe struck bluff bow Vessel down by head. Freeboard forward about two feet; fore hold full Ship cargo apparently un- damaged. Blowing gale southeast" Secretary Bryan said he would ask for a thorough and complete report from the consul and would direct Am Lassadcr Gerard at Berlin to make similar inquiry of the German govern ment for such facts as it might have
 The secretary announced he did not l wish to make any predictions as to the course of the American govern ments policy until all the facts were lin its possession.
 
 Will Ask Regret
 Officials were careful not to talk. for granted the truth of reports thal a German torpedo struck the Gulflight Should the investigation bear out ais. patches claiming that German sub- marine made the attack, the United States probably will demand an in- demnity sufficient to cover the losse. incurred by tte ship and compensa. tion to the families of the victims. Ii is thought probable that an exrres sion of formal regret also will be re. quested. Any diplomatic action of tho United States probably will be based on the treaty of 1928 with Prussia, o 1 which the German government ha. taken cognizance as binding in tn, present day. having agreed to pay fol the loss of the Americap ship Fry, under it.
 II If the attack on the Gulflight wa, made by a German submarine with ol without warning. officials hold tha l.
