RUSS FRONT SPLIT
Gap "a Miles Wide Torn in
South Wing.
MuscOvites Quit Fight Line
and Towns i'm Rear.

Berlin, May 5.-The. southern wing
of the Russian army in West Galicia
has been broken along front of 80
kilometers GA miles). This is reported
in a dispatch received by the Tageblatt
from a special correspondent.
THE attack was made with such de-
termination" says the correspondent,
that Russians were forced to aban-
don not only their first line but also
the villages back of the front, which
served as quarters. Only in Gorllce
did the Russians make a stand. This
town was destroyed by an artillery
ombardment and a bitter street fight
preceded it's capture by the Germans.
"All the staff officers of one Russian
division were killed or wounded. These
included several generals. The ma
jority of prisoners wore military caps,
but civilian clothing. They COM
planned of insufficient food"
The Russian war office admits the
Germans and Austrians crossed the
Dunajec, but states they were pre-
vented from making further ad-
vance. Desperate fighting Is In pro-
gress further east on the Carpathian
front. In the region of Stry it is said
one hill changed hands three times in
a single battle and that 1,20G more
Austrians were captured by the Rus
slams
Unofficial reports from Salonihi say
that two Turkish aeroplanes which
attacked the allied fleet at the Dar-
danelles were brought down by the
fire of the warships. The aeroplanes,
manned by Germans. attacked the
fleet with bombs. but 1t is said no
damage was done.
Relations between Bulgaria and
Turkey apparently have become more
uncertain. Turkey is sending troops
hastily to the neighborhood of Adrian
ople after having withdrawn them for
use on the Gallipoli peninsula.
Austria's answer to Italy's minimum
demands is expected tomorrow. II is

standing the kings decision to remain
away from the patriotic celebration in
connection with the Garibaldi memo
rial today, it is now believed in Rome
that there has been no essential mod
ification of the situation.

NOTE SOON FOR KAISER
President to Ask Satisfaction
for All Incidents.
Action Is Delayed Until All
Facts Are In.

| Washington, May 5.--That Ameri-
cas- action in the matter of the Gulf
light, Falaba and Frye and other ships
attacked or supposed to have been at
tackled by German war vessels is being
watched by European neutrals with
! the most intense interest was apparent
from state department developments
today.
Since the report of the disaster to
the Gulflight reached this country,
diplomats of two other neutrals have
called at the department for news of
the incident" according to their own
testimony, and have admitted that the
Administrations action was being re-
ported in detail to their governments.
Other Neutrals Like U. S.
Norway, Sweden and Holland, dip
lomats say, are in much the same po-
sition toward Germany as is the Unit
ed States. the three having suffered
more or less from submarine attacks,
Norway perhaps most heavily.
1t was believed that any action taxi
en- in Washington would be followed
by almost identical action by the other
neutrals.
Officials today pointed out one
phase of the situation as not little
commented on-the practical immun-
ity enjoyed by italian vessels.
Sharp Note to Kaiser.
Little doubt was expressed that the
administration would shortly address
7
the entire history of the kaiSer'S ma
val policy so far as it affected the
United States and asking explanation Of
and satisfaction for all incidents which
have involved loss of Anne rican life or
property.
1t was considered, however, that no
step will be taken until full reports
have been submitted from all sides,
particularly concerning the Gulflight
and the Cushing incidents. The de-
partment has already asked Germany
for explanations on both matters and
prepared a report on the Gushing
bombardment, supposedly by a Ger
man aviator. Thus far there has been.
no positive evidence that the Gulflight
was ''submarined."
Inquest Over Gulflight Captain.
PenzaEce, England. May 5.-At the
inquest today into the death of Cap
ship Gulflight, torpedoed May 1, the
verdict reached was heart failure
accelerated by shock by the torpedo
ing of the ship" Evidence at the in
quest showed the Gulflight was flying
large American flag when she was
torpedoed.

the owners, the Gulf Refining COM
pany. The account rested on a state
ment from Chief Officer Smith of the
Gulflight and the consul, whose name
was given as Banfie1d an error, it is
believed, in cable transmission. since
no such name appears in .he consular
