Syracuse, May with Colonel
Roosevelt scheduled to take the stand
sometime today, the co!onel's case
in the Barnes libel suit was practi-
cally concluded. The defense expect
ed to rest late this afternoon or with
little more perfunctory testimon!
tomorrow.
For all political if not legal pur-
poses, the colonel's defense was prac-
tically in" today.
Upon being recalled TO the stand
today, the thirteenth day of the trial
and the ninth day Roosevelt has been
a witness, the former ex-presdent
was prepared to amplify his testi-
mony regarding alleged lack OF NAL
ice in attacking Barnes.
That reireration of the alleged h.
bel by republication after July y
last, when the statement was publish
ed was not an evidence OF malice
against Barnes was contended by the
defense.
Rooseyelts new direct testimony
today excluded erroneouSiy ny JUS

ously testified, was 10 be brief. Bar

Prodigal With Their Fire

Petrograd, May 5-Desperate fight

points, is reported from the battle

The Germans, it is freely admitted
succeeded in forcing passage OF the
Donajec river in Galicia. but they
have been held tc their new position
for three days and have suffered
heavily from the Russian gun fire.
The fighting all along the line from
the Vistula to the Carpathians in
Galicia has been of the see-saw varl-
ETY., first one side and then the other
gaining an advantage. The Germans
have been strongly re-enforced with
artillery and have been prodigal ol
their fire.
Despite this fact, however, it IS
claimed that only very few OF Kus-
sian front line trenches have been
ceded, and they simply because 1t
would have meant annihilation TO try
to defend them.
In the region between Tuchow and
Biecz, the Austrian forces have been
almost entirely replaced by Germans
according to reports to the genera
staff. Here the battle still continues
