NO COAL LEASE
 FOR THIS YEAR
LANE SAYS BETTER SURVEYS OF COAL FIELDS NECES-
 SARY FIRST.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Secretary Lane of the interior departmen tde- clares that no coal lands in Alaska will be available for leasing this year as better surveys of the coal fields will first have to be made This an- nouncement is not believed to be un- favorable as the leasing of coal lands would hardly be of any use before the railroad is built to supply the means of transportation. Large forces of surveyors will most likely be put to work in the Matanuska fields this summer so that the leasing may be possible immediately after the tap ping of the district by the government line.

BERLIN CLAIMS
 BIG VICTORY
SAYS RUSSIANS DRIVEN BACK AND FLANK EN-
 DANGERED.

BERLIN, May 4.-An important victory for the Austro-German armies in the east was chronicled today when it was announced officially that the Russians have been hurled back along front of miles extending from Tarnow to the Carpathian mountains. near Gorlice the enemy was entirely overwhelmed and eight thousand of them were taken prisoners by our troops and the troops of our Ally The principal result of the victory is that it exposes the right of the Rus sian armies operating in the Carpath- ians and may compel them to fall back along the whole line from which they threatened Hungary. Should they be really compelled to retire through the mountains military experts here be- lieve that the retreat is bound to be- come one of the most disastrous routs in history. Even if such large results are not realized the victory has com pletely checked the Russian opera tions west of Przemysl. In the mean time heavy Austrian forces are threat ening the Russian left just north of Czernowitz and the center lying be- tween the two Teutonic forces is in serious predicament. The success of our arms means that we have pierced the Russian center if the Polish forces of the enemy are taken into account The forces driven back are those near est to Cracow so that any danger that might have threatened that fort be- fore has now entirely been removed. Accounts from the northern part of the eastern front indicate that our ad- vance into the Russian Baltic prov inces is still proceeding.
 VIENNA, May 4.-The victory which has just been achieved in Galicia by the combined Austrian and German arimes over the Russians was announced here this morning and has created wild enthusiasm. It is felt that the Russians must now re- tire from the mountain regions and ! fall back a long way to save their
 
 communications. It is stated officially that the victory was due to weeks of planning by our generals and those of our ally. While the Russians were engaged waging the offensive camp aign in the Carpathians thousands of endorsements were quietly sent to our front near Tarnow without the knowledge of the enemy so that when the time came we were ready to strike hard. Hungary is now regarded as absolutely safe from invasion.
