After five years of prosperity in Dawson, a little mole than a year of poverty was all Frank I.cnge could stand and he therefore de. cided to come to Fairbanks, where business is better At least he is of tie opinion that 1t will be better for him, for he is German and as such, was aroong the 152 per sons interned at Dawson shortly after the opening of the European war.
 And so MT. Lenge Is here, hay
 ng arrived from Circle the forepa1t If the past week. He Is the first German or Austrian. as far as he knows, to make his escape from the Northwest Mounted Police force sta tioned in Dawson. He left the Yukon metronolis "between inspec- tions," as it were, and his absence unless 1t was reported was there fore not noticed by the authorities until after he had been on his way for week at least.
 MT. Lenge is baker and restaur- ant man. lie says that he was a resident of Dawson for five years 'rior to the time that the war brok } Nut and that he enjoyed good business. Shortly after the war started, however. he noticed that Nis business WAS falling away As result he had to closo up shop. the
 nly reason he can assign for the Fact being that he is a German.
 And MT. Lenge states that all Ger mans who were in business in Daw- son were in a like predicament. Be 'ng old timers in the Yukon m,o, tropolis they were treated with ev. rrv consideration by the authorities and the populace. but the fact that they were Germans was too much for the British population of the upper Yukon mining camp and as a consequence they had to go out of business.
 Therefore there are no Germans in business In Dawson now. How Hver their property rights are re- 7pected, the falling off of business being natural outcome of the fac: that they were aliens in an mint cal country. As MT. Lenge express es it, 1t would seem that German in Dawson, while treated well enough were compelled to stay in a placr where they could not get work For nobody in Dawson employs Ger man If people of other nationalitieS are obtainable for such labor as there is to perform.
 Saturday is inspection day at tho barracks in Dawson, and on that lay al of the German resident Nf that portion of the country must report to the officer commanding. 'hev go into the barracks in punches of IT, each bunch being assigned certain hour for reporting Thf chief details of the report are a short lecture from the K. o, who tells each bunch that one Britisher is enough to handle IT Germans or Austrians.
 The reporting to the barracks was no trouble to Mr Lenge. But ther, he did not come north for the pur pose of staying where he could do nothing for himself, and there. fN'a 'n"ided that he would make his getaway.

 came known today, in the city court where he was charged with vagrancy and sentenced to the county jail for 8 yperiod of 12o days.

 window and without hesitating 1eaped l through, sprawling upon the ground. He recovered from the shock and made
 good his escape.

 fourth appearance in court upon charges Of vagrancy, the warrant was
 changed to read second offense'' that the maximum sentence of four months in jail might be imposed.

Summary
 OF THE w ar News

Reports of consistent progress on the part of the allied forces in the .DardaneIles were contra dicted in an official statement to- day from the Turkish war office. It was said the troops which landed on Ga1lipolf peninsula were in precarious position be- ing encircled by Turkish forces and unable to advance.
 The statement was made that only two points on the peninsula -Suddul Bahr and Avf Burma were held by the allies.
 Dispatches from French and British sources said further sue cesses had been won by the al- lies. An attack by Turks on the encampment at Krithia resulted disastrously for them. according to these advices, the Turks hay ing left 1.500 dead behind them after their repu1se.
 A British correspondent as- serted that the tip of the peninsu- Ia and the entire western side were under control of the allies.
 Rome, Vienna and Berlin ad- vices indicated that a~crisis had come in the negotiations Between Italy and Austria Tn Rome, where it had been felt of late that war was inevitable. there has been a sudden revival of hope of a peaceful settlement owing to the fact that Austria is said to have realized the necessity of making subgtantial territorial [ concessions.
 Vienna regards as significant a visit of the Italian ambassador to the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, although the outcome was not disclosed.
 Berlin newspapers said Italy g participation in the war must be regarded as not unlikely.
 Claims were made in Petrograd that the victory Of the Russian army of the Caucasus over the Turks, announced yesterday, was an important and decisive one. A force of 3O,OO0 Turks which at tacked the Russians in the Dill man-Khori region was said to have been repulsed with heavy losses and compelled to retire in disorder.

s / Paris. May 6-The French war of flee this afternoon gave out a report on the progress of hostilities reading as follows:
 ."To the north of Ypres we repulsed with facility a night attack made by the Germans from Steenstraete.
 TO the south of Ypres the Ger mans yesterday, at a point near Zwar- telen, attacked the trenches at Hill No. 60. occupied last month by Brit ish troops. Their very violent on- slaught, during the course of which they again made use of asphyxiating gases, made them masters in the be- ginning of this position but our allies subsequently delivered a counter-at- tack and recaptured a portion of the trenches previously lost.
 <sIn the forest of Ally the counter attack delivered by us toward the end of the day made slight progress and we recaptured portion of the posi- ton where the Germans had sue- ceeded in gaining a footing in the morning. During the night the Ger mans delivered a counter attack against our position at Mame1on, to the east of Si1lakerwasen. the sum init of which they re-occupfed.

AURILIO HELD IN
 NEW YORK DESPITE FURNISHING OF BAIL

Antonio Aurilio is still in the tolls of the New York police and it is be- lievDd that he will remain in a New YorAR jail for some time, though $1,- SOC for his release has been posted in this city hy his father.
 The case presents the unusual fea- ture of a prisoner having furnished bond but unable to escape from be- hind the bars, and announcement was made in the New York courts yesterday that another postponement of the trial of the two men for which Aurilio is he1d~as a material witness. had been granted until May II.
 Detective George Fox, who has charge of the case, asserted today that good lawyers had been retained by the men charged with carrying concealed weapons and running a fence for stolen goods and that it was likely the case might drag for some time.
 Attorney Henry Greenstein, with whom Jacob Klein has been associat- ed, has made several intellectual trips i to New York to secure Aurilio's re- 1 lease, which the New York prosecutor will not consent to without an addi- tiona1 s1,0o0 bond to insure appear ance in that state when wanted.

 False Imprisonment

Salvador Rania. of Derby, Conn, yesterday lost his claim for $10.OOo against the state of Connecticut for having been falsely imprisoned for a. period of nearly four years in Weth- ersfie1d prison. The committee of. claims in the General assembly report ed unfavorabIy upon the case.
 The case is one which some years ago attracted considerable attention when in one of the most dramatic
 moments in the life of the late Stiles Judson, states attorney for Fairfield county. he announced that both Sal- vatore Iemrna and Salvatore Rania had been un5ustly convicted of an att tempt to murder Paymaster Merritt. near Greenwich, Conn.,, November 20, 1907. Both men had been convicted of the crime and sentenced in the Su- perior court to fourteen years impris- on1nent.
 States Attorney Judson appeared
 before the board of pardons and made
 an eloquent plea for~ the release of l both prisoners. producing evidence
 that another man had confessed his
 sole responsibility. The same official j later protested deportation upon the part of federal authorities. Rania later returned to this country and be- d gan suit for damages.
