HEAVY B0MBARDMENT OF RUSSIANS
OPENS Way FOR GERMAN SUCCESS

During the night preceding the at
tack our infantry had seized positions
close to the. enemy's lines.
All through the night of May l our
artillery maintained heavy fire against
the enemy's trenches, enabling our en-.
gineers to cut the wire arrangements
of the Russians At o'clock on the
morning of May we opened an over
whelming artillery fire over a front of
many miles which continued without
interruption for four hours.
Russ Offers No Resistance.
"At about a. M our columns storm
ed the enemys positions. The Rus
SLAMS, demoralized by the severe bom-
bardment, offered little resistance at
many points and fled in disorder. At
some places the resistance to our ad-
vance was not worth mentioning. BY
evening we had taken the first and
second lines and on May 2 the main
positions of the Cars forces had been
penetrated. At this time our troops had
advanced four miles and had taken at
least 10000 prisoners, many dozens of
guns, about fifty machine guns and a
great quantity of other war materials" "

Dispatches From Frontier In
dicate Austria Has Reject
ed Italian Terms as Belit-
thing the Country.
ON THE VERGE OF WAR
Foreign Office Reported
Working On Note Excus-
ing Italy's Entrance Into
War for Allies.

ROME, May 7.-Dispatches from
frontier points state that Austria has
rejected the Italian terms and that In
dica tions point to war in the near fu-
ture between Italy and the dual mon
archy. The newspapers display these
dispatches prominently, but the op-
timism of the German embassy has
not been diminished. Austrian news
papers received here today declare
that acceptance of the Italian de-
mands are incompatible with the dig
nifty of Austria Hungary. Martial law
is reported to have been declared in
all the Italian provinces Of Austria
and Italian residents are said to be
crossing the frontier.
Cabinet In Session.
With Italy nearer to war than she
has been at any other time since hos
tilities engulfed Europe, the cabinet
met to consider the latest Austrian
note, a communication setting forth
with definite finality the attitude of
Emperor Franz Josef's government.
At the same time it was reported that
the foreign office had begun to draft
a note to the powers justifying 1taly's
entrance into the war on the side OF
the allies.
Postpone Parliament.
Just prior to the cabinet meeting at
which Premier Salandra presided. it
was reported that the government had
decided to postpone the opening Of
parliament on May II.
A royal decree has just been pub
lished empowering the government
'in case of extra ordinary circum-
stances" to suspend all telephone and
telegraph service"
Whether or not extreme measures
will prevail for a few days is ques-
tion that cannot be answered, but evi-
dence continues to accumulate to show
that the government has decided a
course of action. The Vatican has
warned all monks, nuns, and ecclesias-
teal pupils of AustroGerman nation
ality to leave Rome Immediately. All
trains leaving Italy for Switzerland
continue to be crowded with fleeing
Germans and Austrians, others are
taking passage on ships for Spain.

Word.

TOXIC. May War between
China and Japan has been averted,
according to authentic assurances
given in official circles here today. 1t
was learned that the Chinese govern
ment has definitely decided to grant
the demands made by the Japanese
government The news that continued
peace between the two oriental en-
pires is assured caused demonstra-
tion among the "pacificts' element,
but at no time has the city been ex-
cited.
The Japanese war office was with
out confirmation of reports from Man
churia that Japanese and Chinese
troops had clashed at Tsien. 1t was
reported from Pekin that President
Yuan Shi kai Of China, is prepared to
make representations to the United
States, England and France in an at
tempt to avert the application OF the
twenty-four demands made in the
Japanese ultimatum.
Japan Confident.
On the other hand the Japanese
government is confident that it can
justify It's present stand and is certain
that China will receive no encourage
ment from any power, be 1t neutral or
Lelligerent.
Japan is ready to go to war at an
hours notice. Her fleet and army
are upon a war footing and equipped
for vigorous campaign abroad.
Should hostiities begin the first point
Of attack would probably be Mukden,

are stationed

DESCRIBES CONDITION
Survey by Charity Bureau
Shows Numerous Deaths
in Buildings Where Dis
ease Got Start.

Cleaning the city of unhealthful
buildings in similar condition to the
one at 800 and SO2 North Sixteenth
street, ordered razed by Building In
spector Hodgin yesterday, is the work
cut out for the Commercial club com
mittee on public health.
DR.. S. G. Smelser. city health officer
held a conference with E. NJ. Haas,
secretary of the Commercial club rela-
tive to cooperation in this matter
The committee has organized for
the year and will meet again shortly.
Members of the committee were active
during the visit of DR.. Cofer and D. w
Dennis. one of the members is now
writing articles on tuberculosis for
publication.
William H. Romey, chairman of the
committee, said he was not prepared
to say what steps will be taken until
the committee met.
Il think some action should be
taken in cleaning things up" he said.
Tells Of Conditions.
DR.. Smelser said there are many
houses in the city being occupied by
families. many with small children,
which are in as bad condition as the
house Inspector Hodgin ordered razed
yesterday
The houses are not confined to the
north end district between Thirteenth
and Sixteenth streets. but are other
places in the city as we'll, the health
officer said. Many old shacks which
have been standing for years past the
normal life of a building. are being
rented by the owners who refuse to
relinquish them while there is oppor-
tunity of securing a small amount of
revenue
Probably the tuberculosis survey
taken by the Central Charity bureau
through the Earlham students who
are cooperating, will be brought into
use. In these statistics are revealed
repeated deaths taking place, in the
same houses. although often in diff
ferent familiec. indicating that the
houses are infected with the germs.
Nothing definite has been heard
from the United States public health
department regarding the expert
promised this city. The last letter re-
ceived from Surgeon General Blue said
the department were busy on ether i'm
portant matters but man will be
sent as son as one is available
