GREAT VICTORY
OVER RUSSIANS
Thirty Thousandof theC Cars
Troops Taken Prisoners
by the Austrians
ARMY ALSO ROUTED
IN BALTIC PROVINCES

Petrograd Is Silent on the Situation in
West Galicia and Minimizes the
Activity of the Enemy in the Other
Regions.
LONDON, May 5.-The German war
office announces a great victory over Rus
sian forces in the fighting between the
wooded slopes of the Carpathians and the
Vistula During the first day of an adj
vance in this region, which, according to
Berlin, is being pushed with extraordinary
vigor, the Russians were completely rout-
ed, losing y 800 men in prisoners, 10
pieces of artillery Al machine guns,
quantity of war material of all kinds, and
an unknown number in killed and wound
ed.
Elsewhere in the eastern theatre of
war, says Berlin, all Russian attacks have
been repulsed, while to the north, where
a German army is rapidly advancing
through the Baltic provinces, the Russians
are retreating pell-men in the direction of
Mitau. Already, in this territory, 1000
prisoners have been made and a consider
able booty, left at the roadsides by the
fleeing Russians, has been acquired.
To this the Austrian war office adds in
an inspired statement that the strongly
established front of the Russian armies
between the Vistula and the Carpathians
has been occupied on its entire length by
victorious Austro-German forces, who
have trapped and taken an immense mum
Der of prisoners, now estimated ia be 3d.

Meantime Petrograd is silent on the sit
uation in Galicia An extensive statement
has been issued at Petrograd, however,
Regarding the new German campaign in
the Baltic provinces. The German activ-
lity in this region, says the Russian war of
| fee, while extensive, Is not to be taken
seriously. The German announcements OF
great gains in the Kovno- Kourland dis
trict Of northwest Russia is broadly ridi
lculed. The attacks here are referred to as
demonstrations. At one point, continues
the Russian communique, $1,000 proiec
tiles were fired upon the Russian trenches
along six and a half mile front, Will,

Serafin thousands were lost. So com

NEW YORK, May 5.-The Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing com
pany has taken options on several man
ufacturing plants in New England, in
Guiding the J. Stevens Arms and Tool
company of Chieopee Falls, Mass, and
announcement is expected within day
or two that the deals have been com
pleted. The Stevens-Duryea Automo-
bile company, which is controlled by
the j. Stevens company, is included in
the arrangements. The purchases were
first contemplated by the Westinghouse
management a few weeks ago when
bids for 1000, 900 rifles for the account
of foreign government were being
figured out
Chairman Guy E. Trip of the West
inghouse company said yesterday that
matters had not yet come to point
to admit of discussion. Officers of the
company declined to say what the
probable price for the Stevens proper
ties would be. In addition to the or
der for 100000 rifles at $3.50 each,
the company has placed tentative bids
for another lot of the same amount
The j. Stevens Arms company Is
plant covers about eight acres, and in
normal times employs 1000 men, The
company S equipment is especially
adapted, it is said, to the manufacture
of the rifles specified in the foreign or
der.

HUGHES WILL NOT
/. BE A CANDIDATE
Supreme Court Justice Declines to En-
ter Field for Presidential
Nomination.

WASHINGTON, May Sin view of
recent references to the name of Asso-
ciate Justice Hughes of the supreme
court as candidate for the presi-
dency, the following authoritative
statement was made yesterday in his
behalf and with his approval
Justice Hughes wholly disapproves
the use of his name in connection with
the presidential campaign. Not onIy
has he no desire TO re-enter politics
but as a member of the supreme court
he is not available. He is not candi
date in any sense and cannot permit
his name to be used.
Justice Hughes s attitude now, /,
| said by his friends to be the same a.
| it was in 1912, when many regarded
| him as compromise candidate. He
felt then that he had taken the su
preme court bench as his life s work
which he thoroughly enjoyed, and h,
much preferred the seelusion and dig
nifty of the bench to the turmoil O.
a political candidacy. @
More recently Justice Hughes
name has been brought forward from
| time to time. and within the last rev
/ DAYS Gov. Hatfield of West Virginia
while in Washington, referred to tn
availability of Justice Hughes. 1t i
understood the justice has reeentl'
written several letters replying 10 IN

DEEPER WATER IN OTTER CREEK
Federal officials Continue Investiga
ton of Conditions at Vergennes.

VERGENNES, May 5. That the
federal government intends to continue
its Investigation as to the needs of
deeper water in Otter Creek was evil
denced Monday, when Major Macdon-
ough of Albany, n. Y, of the United
States field engineering staff came to
this city to make further examination
Of the project.
In company with Engineer John E.
Byron, also of the field engineering
staff, Major Macdonough is making an
examination of channel and other con
ditions in the stream preparatory to
making a report to the war depart
ment as to the necessity for federal
aid IN deepening the creek.
Though the project has been under
consideration for several years moth
ing tangible has come of the EFFORTS of
those interested until few months
ago when the Yergennes board of
trade took up the matter and succeed
ed in having federal officials make an
examination of the project.

FEAR OF EPIDEMIcs.
English Professor Points Out Danger
of Disease.

LONDON, April 81. Correspond
enee of the Associated Press). = The
British health authorities are prepar-
ing for elaborate measures to prevent
any widespread epidemics of diseases
like cholea, typhus, scurvy, dysentery
or typhoid, either in this country or
among the British soldiers abroad
There is widespread anxiety that some
diseases of this character will make
their appearance in force in the west
Eern part of the continent during the
next few months.
|. Prof Simpson of Kings college,
London, points out in the Lancet that
the armies of Germany and Austria
will be in a very different physical,
mental and material condition in
August and the autumn of 1915 or 1916
from what they were in 1914. Should
epidemics then arise, they are not like
ly to be confined to the particular
armies first stricken, nor will the civil
population in the devastated areas
escape.
/ Scarcity of food, it is further indi-
Gated, win play its part in reducing
the misunderstanding power of the
population. The combination of war
food and famine viii favor the spread
of epidemics: HIndeed,' says Prof
Simpson, 'the terrible faint in the
