NEW COUNSEL WILL
PLEAD FOR BECKER

New York, July 2.-The next step
in the effort to save Charles Becker
from execution for the murder OF Her
man Rosenthal will be the selection OF
new counsel to represent him in an
appeal to the United States supreme
court Martin T. Manton who has
represented Becker up to the present
and who has announced that he will
retire from the case, wasSnot prepar-
ed today to say what attorney will lay
Becker's appeal before the supreme
court.
Mr.. Manton would not admit that
Becker had offered to tell Governor
Whitman the names of men higher UP
in graft dealings in which Becker was
concerned. It was learned from Mr..
Manton that Mrs. Becker will not go
to Albany to make a personal appeal
to Governor Whitman.
1t was pointed out today that an
application for an appeal to the SUI
preme court would not act as stay
of execution Of Becker's sentence and
that it would be necessary for Beck
er's counsel to obtain either writ
of habeas corpus from a federal grand
Jury or writ of error from a member
of the United States supreme court.

Zurich, July AT the conference
at Vienna of the industrial leaders of
Germany and Austria to disbursements
for bringing about closer economic
union between the two countries. DR..
Reiser, president of the Hansa league,
pointed out that the allies of the quad
ruple entente not only had entered
into political treaties but had conclud-
ed a number of economic arrange
ments One of the most important of
these, he asserted provides that none
of them may conclude commercial
treaty with Germany or Austria with
out the consent of the others.
A wireless dispatch from Berlin yes
terday said a resolution was passed
at the Vienna conference, declaring
for an economic alliance of the two
countries to as great a degree as pos
sible. One of the means proposed to
bring this about was tariff system
designed to equalize differences OF
production.

Washington, D. G., July 2-Tension

aALLIES LOOK FOR
FURIOUS ATTACKS:

Paris, July 2.-The furious German
attacks in the Argonne by an entire
army corps with the object Of break
ing through the French line in the
hope of reaching Verdun will be re-
peated, according to Lieutenant Col
}onel Rousset, military critic of the
Petit Parisien. He asserts successive
checks have not discouraged the Ger
mans and that they will continue their
efforts to gain control of this hilly for
est region called the "Thermopyloe Of
France"
Lieutenant Colonel Rousset and 9th
err military writer's agree, however,
that the French forces have made
such preparations as to insure the
failure of all efforts on the part of the
crown princes army.

Italians Applying Pressure
Along Isonzo River and
Claim Successes

Berlin, July 2.-The German
forces have reached the Russian
positions at krasnik, in the south
ern district Of Russian Poland, ac-
eordlna to the official statement
issued today by the German army
headquarters. The statement also
says that the Russian forces in
the region west Of Zamosc have
been driven back.
London, July 2.-Evidently bent on a
decisive victory against the Russians,
the Germans are not yet sending
troops to the western front but, as
sisted by their Austrian allies, are
making every effort to capture the
Russian Poland capital, Warsaw. Ber-
lin claims further advances by the
great Austro-German armies in Ca
licia, while Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen is pushing steadily ahead be-
tween the Vistula and Bug rivers.
Artillery activity continues un-
abated in the Arras region of France
but there are no signs of an infantry
offensive on that front, although 1t Is
scarcely possible that so many thou
sands of shells are being fired without
some such objective. In the Argonne
region the Germans June 80 gained
ground at heavy loss of men.
A further report regarding the OAR
danelles operations claims that the
colonial troops have not been checked
in their efforts to advance but that
they have been used merely to keep
the Turks on their front too busy to
send reserve to that portion Of the line
where the Anglo-French troops made
an advance of 1000 yards.
In the fighting in the east there is
no indication, even in the Russian Of
fetal statements, that there is any halt
in the sweep Of the Teutonic armies
northward and eastward from Lem
berg Further south, however, the
troops of Grand Duke Nicholas have
made what looks like determined
Sstand along the line of the Gnila Lipa
river.
Austro-German accounts tell of vic
tories even in that section of the east
ern front, but the Russians deny the
reverses there were serious, declaring
desperate attacks were repulsed with
great losses to the Teutontc forces
The latest statements from the head
quarters Of the Teutonic allies indicate
that there has recently been desper-
ate fighting along the Austro-1talian
front. The main effort of the Italians
to advance seems to have been north
east of Monfalcone in the Isonzo re-
gion, and the invaders are admitted to
have made slight advances. The
series of assaults as whole failed,
however the Austrians claim.

"inch by inch" from the Austrian de-

front the process of consolidating
positions and breaking up preparations
by the Austrians for defense is pro-

Further reports of the occupation of
Albanian territory have been received,
Greek bands having moved toward
Berat and occupying villages along
the way. This follows closely the re-
cent occupation of Scutari by the
Montenegrins and the previous Serb
ian move into Albania.
