TEUTONS CAPTURE GORLICE
IN NEW GALICIAN OFFENSIVE
Advance Brings Austro-Germans 81
Miles East of Dunajec.


Dispatches from Eastern headquarters
state that the Austro- German forces in
Western Galicla are rapidly pressing
eastward and southward toward Dukla
Pass, shatterlng every effort to oppose
their progress. Gorice, in Gallcia, has
been taken.
The correspondent OF the Tageblatt tele-
graphs that the Russians on the southern
wing has been crushed on front of %
miles.
"Our advance Is everywhere victorious"
he adds. We have captured Gorlice and
are still pressing on
Gorlice Is II miles east of the Dunajec
River. from which Austro-German forces
started their offensive. They have crossed
the Biala and reached the Ropa, accord
ing to the Tageblatt's correspondent.
THE attack of our forces was a de-
termined,' continues the correspondent
that the Russians were compelled to
abandon their first lines as we'll as the
villages back OF the front which they had
used as headquarters. They were rapidly
driven back to Gorlice which was the only
point where the Russians made deter
mined stand
This was in vain. An artillery bonn
bardment destroyed the town and 1t was
captured by the Germans after a violent
fight In the ruins. At Gorlice one entire
Russian division was virtually annihilat-
ed, All the stan officers, including sew
eral generals, were killed or wounded"

The great forts at the Narrows are still
holding firm against the attacks of the
allied fleet and are virtually undamaged.
while the troops thrown ashore are doing
little more, than cling to their footholds
on the coast of the Galllpoli Peninsula.
This is the situation along the Darda-
nelos according to both official and un-
official reports.

GauioIs and the Iniexlble. does not indl-
cate that it lies in the power OF the guns
of the feet to do serious damage to the
forts.
In the towns of Kilid Bahr and Chanak
Kalessi buildings valued at $4,000 were
damaged by shell fire, but none of them
had any military value.
One or two smaller guns of older pat
tern were more or less severely damaged.
but practically all the damage has been
repaired. In the bombardment of March
IS only % were killed and 80 wounded.
The masonry of the forts is practically
intact The Turks have since been busy
repairing damages, and have taken the
pains to smooth over and fir in the huge
gashes torn i'm the earthworks by shells,

sequence.

Office says:

vance on his left wing, hut as a conse-
quence of our counter attacks he was in

losses into very rocky valleys and after
ward repulsed to the coast.
"In the meantime our artillery caused
fire on board one of the transports, after
which other transports quickly retired"

Since the report of the disaster TO the

at the Department "for news of the In

and one admitted that the Administra-

officials today pointed out one phase
of the situation as yet little commented

Italian vessels
Little doubt was expressed that the
Administration would shortly address a
vigorous note to Germany reviewing the
entire history u the Kaisers naval
policy, so far as 1t has affected the
United States, and asking explanation of
all incidents which have involved losses
of life or property to Americans.
II was conceded. however, that no step
would be taken until full reports had
been submitted from all sides, particularly
concerning the Gulfight and Cushing in

asked German statements on both mat

JAPANESE ATTACHES
READY TO QUIT PEKIN

Continued From Page One
OF the japanese demands a haGr6nt viola
ton of solemn pledges. Japan has been
asked to modify those demands so that
China's integrity will be respected. China
holds the demand known as Article
FIVE" as an insult to her. This is a de-
mand by Japan that China shall not
grant any mining. railway or other in
dustrial concession to foreign powers
without first consulting Japan. Granting
such a demand the Chinese Government
says, would be in effect a surrender Of
China's sovereign rights to Japan.
II is on this very article that China
is hopeful the various nations of the
world will come to her relief II violates
the treaty obligations between China and
the United States and also between China
and Great Britain.
President Yuan Shi Kai has notified the
various legations here that China has
made material concessions to Japan and
that the sending of an ultimatum is an at
tempt to force China to surrender her in
tegrity before she can perfect an appeaI
for the assistance OF other friendly ma
tions. II is understood he takes the posi-
tion that Japan Is plainly determined 10
take what she wants and he desires to
force. her to do so in the expectation that
the world Powers will protest The Gov
ernn1ent would face a revolution should II
grant the Japanese demands without
hght, but II Japan takes what she wants
by force the Administration will be much
stronger than II now is.
Reports that the japanese Legation
has been notified to be ready to leave
Pekin and to turn its AFFAIRS over to the
British Ambassador are current, but can
not be confirmed.
WASHINGTON. May 5.-Administration
omcials persisted today in believing ia
pan would not precipitate an Oriental
crisis by any ultimatum to China
They admitted China had not Yielded
10 Japan on all points, hut said important
concessions had been made; that some of
the things the MikaGo wanted he prob
ably could not get in the face of Ameri-
can and perhaps English as well as
Chinese, opposition-anyway he could not
get them except at great expense.
BY an ultimatum, II was pointed out, he
would risk his bird In the hand with no
certainty OF catching the one IN the bush.
TOXIC, May 5.-The result TO the con-
ference between the Cabinet and the
Elder Statesmen will not be known until
tomorrow II Is considered certain, how
ever, that the ultlmatum TO China calls
for consent to the modified Japanese de-
mands within short time-some OF the
newspapers say as hours.

directed all consuls in China to be pre-
pared for the withdrawal from the
