CLAIMS GERMANS USED GAS
British "Eye-Witness" Says French
Continue Advance Despite the
Asphyxiating Fumes.

London, May THE British Off
cial eyewitness" in a long account
of the engagement of the last few
days in the Ypres region records that
the Germans have continued the use
of asphyxiating gases, but with less
success than on the first occasion.
Despite the use OF gas by the Ger
mans, the narrative says, the French
have made continual advances east of
the Ypres canal south of Pilken. the
result of which was to remove the
wedge occupied by the Germans and
in the French line between the canal
and the Ypres-Langemarck road, a
gain of more than 1000 yards. Dur
ing these advances large number Of
German prisoners were taken.

Liverpool, May 8.-The Cunard Line
manager says that the Lusitania was
sunk by submarine. He received the
following wireless from Old Head of
Kinsale.
THE Lusitania was sunk by sub
marine, eight miles south west of Old
Head of Kinsale."
Liverpool, May S.-The Evening Ex
press was officially informed by Off
Gals of the Cunard Steamship COM
pany that the Lusitania had been tor
pedoed and that she had sunk.
Passengers Believed Safe.
London, May S.-The steamer Lusi-
tania, filled with passengers, many of
whom were Americans, was either tor
pedoed or blown up by an internal
machine while off Old Head of Kin
sale. The latest reports received here
say that all of the passengers were
saved
Hardest Blow of War.
Sinking of the Lusitania was the
hardest blow of the war to date, so far
as neutral commerce was concerned.
The reports received here are frag-
mentary, but all agree that the big
liner began calling for help by her
wireless at 1888 The first to pick her
up was the wireless station at Lands
End
The appeal was urgent
I'VE have big list, rush help
flashed through the air and Immediate
ly orders were sent to the nearest
points to get every available craft to
the scene. The fishing fleet from Kin
sale was early on the scene and inn
mediately began the work of taking
ON board the passengers from the big
liner.
Uses Own Boats.
1t is understood that the Lusitania's
own boats were used to care for her
passengers. On all of her recent trips
these boats have been swung over side
and their covers removed ready for
any emergency and it is possible that
to this precaution may be due the sal
walton of the passengers.
The first word reaching London of
the plight of the Lusitania, was an I'M
confirmed rumor received at the gen
eral offices of the Cunard line. 1t said
that the big steamer was in trouble.
The line officials made it public and
promised to keep the public informed
Of everything that happened.
Excitement In London.
There was much excitement. There
had been grave doubt that the Ger-\
mans were in earnest, when they
threatened to attack the passenger
carrying liners. The sinking of the.
Falaba had been considered the. final
act of this kind and when it was rea-
lied that the biggest passenger liner
n commission had fallen victim to the
war, London was aghast.

RUSSIANS RETREAT
BEFORE AUSTR|ANS
MORE THAN $4,000 PRISONERS
CAPTURED IN WEST GALICiA,
SAYS VIENNA.
TARNOW TAKEN BY TEUTONS
Last SIav Positions on Heights Of
Dunajec and Biaia Rivers Gained,
Declares War Office-Situa-
ton Critical.

Vienna, via London, May s.-An Of
fetal communication issued by the
War Office says:
! At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
last Russian positions on the heights
of the Dunajec and the Biala rivers
we're gained by our troops. Tarnow
has been captured by US.
The Austrian southern wing has
crossed the Wisioka river. The Rus
slams are retreating eastward of the
Lupkowa pass.
Vienna, via London, May 8.-The
strategic achievement of rolling up
hostile battle front by fianking attack
of which Charlottesville is one of
the few successful examples in mod
ern history, is now in full progress
in West Galicia. Favored by con-
tinued good weather, mile after mile
of the Russian Carpathian front has
been rendered untenable by the
steady unchecked Austro-German adj
vance. The Austrian cavalry and in
fantry followed the Gorlice turnpike
and have already reached the Wislo-
ka river. The supporting artillery
dropped shells on the road from Zm;-
grod to Jaslo, one of the principal
lines of the retreat for the Russians
in the DukIa region.
Austrians Take $4,000 Prisoners.
The Russian forces have been in
full retreat since the dawn of May 5,
and are being closely followed by the
Austrian Carpathian army, according
to official advices reaching here. More
than $4,000 prisoners have already
been captured by the Austrians in
West Galicia
Field Marshal Won Hoetzendorf's
plan is working out with precise reg
ularity with respect to this section
Of the front Confidence is expressed
by headquarters that, the principal
portion of the Russian army under
General Radko Dfmitrieff, which is
attempting to defend positions on the
Carpathians to the west of Lupko
pass, cannot make good it's retreat
Detachments of this army may work
their way out but it was decided that
the bulk of the army, with the heavy
artillery and baggage, can scarcely |
succeed in avoiding capture in view |
of Field Marshal Won Hoetzendorf's |
rapid advance through the Gorlice |
breach in the lines.
Russians Make Stand.
Progress on the northern half of |
the front is slower. The Russians |
are holding desperately to Tarnow
and Wal mountain, fortified crest |
/ 500 to 1000 feet high, between Bail
wa and Dunejac rivers-to enable
them to get great quantities of !
stores accumulated behind Tarnow
and cover the retirement of the ar
mics to the southwark.
The question as to whether the
Russians can make successful
stand on the line of the Wisloka
river is the important one from the
Austro-German military viewpoint. If
they cannot, the breach in the Rus
sian line is considered complete and
the situation for the Russian Carpa-
THAN armies would undoubtedly be
critical.

aloud
Murder in First Degree.
We. the jury, find the defendant
guilty of murder in the first degree

Lawson did not move. A slight
smile played over his features. There
was silence for a few moments, then
Horace N. Hawkins, chief counsel for
the defense, asked that the jury be
polled
AS the clerk read the names, each
man assented to the verdict. Then
there was brief legal formalities and
the crowd filtered out the door.
Thirty days were given to file mo-
ton for a new trial and Lawson was
released temporarily in custody of his
counsel.
Judge Hillyer later announced that
the labor leader would be released on
$4,000 bond pending action on his mo-
ton for a new trial The bond was ar
ranged for at a conference between
Judge Hillyer and Horace N. Hawkins,
chief counsel for the defense.
Fights for Workingmen.
Seated at his lawyers table after
the verdict, John R. Lawson talked
calmly of the outcome of his fight for
life and liberty.
They may get me, but they can't
defeat the cause of labor" Lawson
said. "I'm not worrying about myself
its the fight l have been making
for the workingmen that ! am inter-
ested in and that will go ahead just as
before. Even for me, it's long way
to the penitentiary. My attorneys will
not give up until everything possible
has been done to save me-"
Lawson and his counsel had confid-
emily expected an acquittal or at most
a disagreement.
