Winter and Spring Campaigns.
London, May lS.-Field Marshal Sir
John French has broken his silence in
regard to the movements of the Brit
ish army northwest of La Bassee with
the announcement of an advance of
nearly a mile into the German line
This, together with the continuance
of the French thrusts both north of
Ypres and southwest of La Bassee.
constitutes the outstanding feature of
the military situation.
Military commentators here regard
the British advance as genuine
break of the German line, which, ii
maintained, must mean a retreat for
a considerable section of the invaders
forces.
Recapture of the bridge over the
User canal at Steenstraete by the
French deprives the Germans of their
the waterway. German assaults on
the British position at Ypres seem to
have spent themselves, at least for
the moment, as Field Marshal French
reports all has been quiet there for
the past twenty-four hours.
Official reports from Petrograd do
little to minimize the severity of the
defeat which the Russians have ex-
perienced over practically the whole
line from Central Poland to the Car
pathians The victorious Germanic
armies have robbed the Russians of
most of the gains of the hard winter
and early spring campaign, with the
exception of Przemysl, which is
closely threatened on two sides by
hostile forces.
1t is evident that the Austro-Ger-
man forces will leave nothing undone
in the attempt to force a crossing of
the River San. The Russians admit
the loss of fifty guns during the re-
treat of their Third army in the San,
but assert that most of them were
destroyed.

REPORTS MASSACRE
OF 5000 ARMENIANS

London, May lS.-Six thousand Ar
menians have been massacred at Van
in Armenia, Asiatic Turkey, accord
ing to a dispatch received in official
quarters in London from the Russian
consul at Urumiah, Persia.
This message, dated May is, adds
that the Armenians are defending
themselves to the utmost against the
Turks and kurds arrayed against
them, but that help is urgently need
ed.
News dispatches from Persia, Ar
menia and Transcaucasia in Russia
have set forth for some weeks that
the positions of the Armenians in
Turkey, as well as in Northwestern
Persia, was one of grave danger, but
no message has indicated such ex
tensive massacre as this report to
London. If ii is true the Armenian sit.
uation threatens TO rival the condi-
tions OF 1895.

Germany Expected Protest.

Germany. it is said i'm diplomatic
circles, expected a protest concerning
the Lusitania She understood that
one was being prepared in the Falaba
case, involving the death of the
American, Leon Thrasher. The kaiser
was understood to stand ready to
disavow the Cushing and Gulfiight in
cidents and not only apologize but to
offer indemnity.
However President Wilson's tart
assertion that the Lusitania sinking
was a crime, coupled with the demand
that the submarine warfare be ended
forthwith, came as an unpleasant
surprise. diplomats say They assert
that Germany is nevertheless as anx-
ious today to conciliate the United
States as she was ten days ago-pos-
sibly more so, because of develop
ments in Italy.
For this reason it is expected the
Berlin government will accept. in
spirit at least, the unbeatable sec
tions of the presidents note. even to
the extent temporarily of halting
her submarine activities against mer-
chant vessels, and then to seek a
ground of amicable financial settle
ment that will benefit Germany.
The statement the questions of ma
tional honor cannot be arbitrated,
are, of course, accepted in diplomatic
circles. In face of the assertion that
it is pointed out that in the Wilson
note there are, besides points of ma
tional honor, demands that Americans

ever they will

Workers at the Columbia Nut and Bolt Co., in Railroad avenue today re- fused the offer which Fred Atwater of the concern made, granting the eight hour day and a 10 per cent. increase in wages to be adjusted as working con- ditions develop. The plant is shut
 R. A. Chase, chairman of the com rlaittee of strikers, said today that the men who are out could consider only the demands which they had asked, the eight hour day, recognition of the union, and shop and grievance com mittees. Treasurer AtWater said there could be no recognition of the union as his concern did not recognize the strikers as skilled workmen but that the company was ready to treat if the men would come back as individuals or if they would give up the idea that it was necessary to recognize a, union committee in the shop.

Strikers at the Star Shirt Go. were in great g1ee this morning because superintendent Thomas Purdy was locked out of the factory for many minutes. All the doors were locked and it was a long time after he arrived there, before he could get someone inside to heed his cries for a.dnis- sion.
 The company te1egraphed to a workman in Troy to come here this morning, and he did, not knowing of the 6trike. Then he joined the ranks of the strikers. An attempt was made to get his carfare back to Troy because he thought he had been brought, here under nnisapprehension, but the company refused to pay
