GERMANS HARD
PRESSED BOTH

FIELD MARSHAL Won HINDEN-
BURG HAS FAILED In ATTEMPT

RUSSIANS CROSS INTO EAST
PRUSSIA
(By Associated Press. J

(By Associated Press)
LONDON, March 19.-The apparent
failure of Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's valourus attempt to reach War
saw, the temperance of Russians in
force west of the East Prussian from
tier, near Tilsit, and the Entente Allies
vigorous offensive movement in the
west has put Germany in a position
where she dare not shift any substan-
tial portion of her forces either east
or west according to British observ-
ers.
The German military railroads,
heretofore considered the most pow
erful resource at command of the
Teutons have been robbed of their
strategic value by this combined Of
fensive on both borders of the en-
pire, and Kaiser Wilhelm must soon
realize that his plans have been en-
tirely upset, in the east as we'll as in
the west, where Van Klucks failure
to reach Paris marked the first failure
of the Prussian effort to force France
to her knees before Russian mohiliza-
tion was completed.
Today there are rumors that rein
forcements are being hurried from Ro-
land to the Franco Belgian front to
meets the thrust being delivered there
by the Allied armies, but military
writer's in London insist that such tao
tics at this time would not be imprac-
tical but impossible. Germany, in or
der to prevent general advance in
the east must retain intact the forces
now commanded by Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, while in the west the
Allies are delivering blows calculated
to make necessary the speedy rein
forcement of the German lines in Bel
gium and France.
This situation places Germany in the
predicament of being compelled to
find new forces to strengthen her ar
mics on both fronts or order a re-
treat to the fortified line along the
frontier of the Fatherland. With
full knowledge of conditions as they
exist along both battle fronts and con-
vinced of the failure of the German
submarine blockade, British military
authorities today are most optimistic
and expressed confidence that opera
tions in the near future will rebound
largely in favor of the Allies.
Mystery surrounds the next probable
move of the German armies, though an
undercurrent of opinion in official cir
cles here processes to anticipate a
big offensive movement, probably di-
rected against the British and Belgium
lines in France and Flanders. This.
movement, if inaugurated, will prove
disastrous for the Germans, say mill
tary critics, who see in Kitchener's
tremendous army force sufficiently
large to reoell any number of Germans
that may be hurled against it.

AUSTRIA PROMISES
ITALY TERRITORY
TO STAY NEUTRAL
tBy Associated Press.)

ROME, March 19.-What is said to
be a presentation of Austria's attitude
toward Italy, has been tele sraphed to
the Tribuna here from Vienna, and is
published this afternoon. The con-
census of Italian public opinion is
that the statement is unsatisfactory,
and unles further concessions are
granted by Austria, Italy's attitude
of neutrality toward the European war
is expected to be abandoned.
The statement asserts that in the
event Austria agrees to make terri
torial concessions to Italy in order to
secure that nations neutrality during
the present war, formal transfer of the
territory ceded King Victor Emman-
uels government will be withheld un-
til the cessation of hostilities between
Austria and the allied nations.
Austria, it is said, declines to part
with any territory before the end Of
the present war, fearing Italy would
not abide by the terms of a conven-
tion entered into at this time, and
this position is looked upon by Ital-
an authorities as rejecting upon the
integrity of the government.

New Schedule Drafted.
The schedule of the Georgia State
League has, with the acquisition Of
Dothan, Ala, in place of Cordele, Ga,
been redrafted and has just been Of
ffcially given to the press.
The new schedule provides for the
opening of the season on Memorial
Day, April 26, instead Of on Friday,
April so, and the season will close on
August IS, instead of August u, three
months and eighteen days.
There are 100 games in the sched-
ule, which is divided into halves OF
so games each, each team in tle
league playing 25 games at home
and abroad in each half of the sea-
son.
The advent of Dothan into the
league and the lack of railroad facil-
tiles in the other towns makes it i'm
posFible for the league to play 4
morning game in one town and an
afternoon game in another on July 4.
This was the main reason for NOV
ing the opening up to holiday, the
three towns that open on Memorial
Day being road teams for July 4
which this year will be celebrated or
| Monday, July 5.
In redrafting the schedule, the
principal item considered was the
smallest possible mileage to be travel
ed, end in the new schedule, there is :
reduction of 1868 miles from thu
schedule adopted at the Thomasvillt
meeting.
The opening series is. as follows;
April s6-s7Fs.
Americus in Dothan.
Valdosta in Thomasville.
Waycross in Brunswick.

Riga ENGAGEMENT IMPORTANT.

The German naval reserve in the
Gulf of Riga and the Baltic sea. the
German success in occupying the
fortress OF Ossowetz and a British
naval battle on the German naval
base at Z~eebrugge furnished q series
of new features which temporarily
diverted attention from the gravity
of the issues growing out of the sink
ing of the White Star line steamship
Arabic by a German submarine, says
a London dispatch.
The German version of the Riga
battle has not yet been given ont, but
the definiteness of the official Russ
ian report on the sinking or Gripping
of the German battle cruiser Moltke.
two other cruisers and eight torpedo
boats has SEN a wave of enthusiasm
throughout the country and dispelled
the depression over the Russian re-
treat on land. Aside from the loss of
the German ships the naval engage
ment is regarded chiefly important
for the strategic effect upon the land
operations in the German sweep east
ward toward Petrograd, which mill
tary observer now consider as
having been checked and possibly
irreparably defeated.
The German center has pressed
forw~sd steadily until Prince Leopold
of Bavaria is les the Russian new
lie of defense, but the military OBJ
servers say thai the entire campaign
hinged on the vast enveloping move
ment of Field Marshal Won linden
burg's forces in the north. They had
succeeded in pushing far beyond
Riga, to ~Jacobstadt on the Dvina, but
the Russians hold on the Gulf of
Riga and of the great naval base of
Riga was a continual menace in Won
Hindenburg's rear.
This, the military observers say,
led to the shifting of a number of
German capital ships. including the
Moltke, from the North sea to the
Baltic with the purpose of control
ling Riga and thus protecting a Ger
man land advance on Petrograd.
The result of the naval battle. as
cleaned from the Official report. APP
pears definitely to have defeated the
German objective, according to the
observers, who say that aside from
the loss of the ships, the gulf and the
naval base of Riga are still in Rus
sian hands and menace Won linden
burg's further advance toward Petro-
grad.
The capture by the Germans of the
forest of Ossowetz gives them an
other stronghold, only Grodno and

trai section. 1t also gives them the
main point on the railway to Bielsk
and Breet-LitOvsk.

untenable and at present the public
