Germans Continue Drive in Effort to Reach French Coast Russians Lose
 Battalion.

London, May 13.--Importatn local successes for the French in the fight ing north of Arras are reported in the midnight official communication Issued in Paris. From this region to the Belgian coast fighting of the most intense character is proceeding day and night.
 in the Arras district, have succeeded in driving the Germans from import ant strategic positions, and, accord ing to official statements, are pres sing these gains.
 The Germans admit the French Successes in the Arras district, and that the French still hold all the trenches they have gained.
 The German statement, however. brings the battle only up to the night Of Tuesday, while the French official communication, reporting the fight ing throughout the day of Wednesday claims further important gains.
 Slavs Halt TeutOns.
 While Berlin states that the troops of General von Macenzen in West Galacia are still in full pursuit Of the Russians, Petrograd last night stated that the czar's forces have taken up positions previously prepared and have halted the German offensive by vigorous counter attacks.
 Meanwhile, the Russian war office states the Muscovite offensive in the direction of Czernowitz has been att tended with great success. More than 5000 prisoners are reported to have been captured on May 10 alone, to- |gether with six guns of heavy caliber and eight machine guns. The Aus trians, it is stated have evacuated en- tirely the left bank of the Dneister. In the north, the Russians claim

they are continuing to press success fully on the heels of the Germans who were driven from Shavli. Der lin reports still undecided battle on the Bzura at ,Szowlo. A Russian battalion attempting to cross the river was anni;ilated, it says.
 Germans Fight for Coast.
 The fighting in northern France and Flanders has taken on the char acter of two drives, one by the French against Lens and the other by the Germans against Ypres with the object of striking at Dunkirk and CaMas.
 Lens is the center of the great coal fields of northern France, and the Germans in their retreat from the Mlarne, took up strong positions here. They hold a rounding salient cover ing the country around Lens. Their curve runs through the village ol Loos, crosses the Carney river near Souchez, and then passes in an eastward sweep, through cemetery on a hilltop at the village of Neuvelle St. Vaast. This cemetery occupies the tip of a promotory that juts out over the Lens plains.
 [ This cemetery the trench have taken, according to the Paris state- ment. The fighting here, the French state, continues with violence.
 Fight In Cemetery.
 The Germans, reinforced, have de- livered several furious counter at- foa nj failed, the Germans suffering very heavy losses, more than 200 dead Teutons being found in the ceme- tery alone. The possession by the French of this position menaces Lens from the south.
 In the woods east of Carceny, the French report further gains and the repulse of German counter attacks on the newly captured positions in the woods and now menace the 0e- fendersH communication.
 At 'Neuvelle St. Vaast, the Frencn report successes in street fighting against the part of the town still held by the Germans. A further sec tion of the village of Carency also has been carried, together with 400 prisoners, Paris states. More than 1000 prisoners in all have been taken since Sunday.
 Berlin admits that the French are |still in possession of the trenches they captured between Carency, Neu- |velle and North of Arras. Further gains in this direction might well menace the German position at Lens The loss of Lens. aside from the if would work upon the IGermans in tho matter of the coal de- |posits, might result in the lifting oi It the pressure on the British al lYpres, and open a gap through which |the allies could make drive into Belgium.

Rome, May 12.-The government has taken a decision today in favor of intervention in the war.

 Third, some form of rule of Trieste with a universally free port
 Fourth, a free hand i2 southe.n n Albania, and the ratification of the occupation of Velona.
 Fifth, Austria and Germany will further see if it is possible to cedo Gorida to Italy
 The final decision as to whether Italy shall declare war CT remain neutral rests with King Victoria Fin manuel.

London, May 12.-Viscount James Bryce, former British ambassador at Washington and now chairman of a special committee appointed to in- vestigatA outrages alleged to have been committed by Germans during the present war, has submitted the report of the committee to Premier Asquith.
 The document is probably the most severe arraignment thus far made of the German military sweep across Belgium, because Mr.. Bryce is his torian, because most of the members of the committee are jurists of the highest standing. and because of the care with which the investigation was made. the great number of witnesses examined and the mass of evidence submitted with the report.

Admits Barnes Confessed Deal with Murphy, But
 Says Time After 1911.
ROOSEVELT DESIRED
 TO ATTACK WILSON
Witness for Barnes TpstifieS Leader of the Bull Moose Indicated in 1914 Willingness to Re.enter
 the c. 0. P.
(By James J. Montague.)

Syracuse, N. Y., May 12.-Opening the assault With direct attack on the veracity of William Loeb, Jr., the plaintiffs forces in the Barnes Roose- welt libel action hammered for four hours today on such of the Roosevelt defenses as are still standing.
 The blow at Loeb was hard Wi!- liam Wollman, of the stock brokerage firm of J. s. Bache & company, flatlv disputed the story Loeb told on the stand.
 Loel< when he rallied to his old chiefs defense. swore Barnes had told. in the spring of 1911, of his agreement to let Murphy elect Unit ed States senator without Republican interference. At that time, Loeb testi- fled, he helped elect an independent Democrat. The place of the converse tion he gave as the private dining room of J. S. Bache & companys New York office.
 Wollman today swore he was pres ent when Barnes and Loeb met. He corroborated Loeb as to the circum- stances of tho meeting, but he insist ed it did not occur until 1912 or 1913 In 1912 or 1913, of course. no need of confession of the course Barnes might take in the senatorial fight colud possibly have arisen.
 The witness fixed the date as a1rer the election of President Wilson.
 Of all those marshalled for today's battle, Wollman is the only one who is not a politician, as we'll as the only one whose testimony landed in- side the Roosevelt Notifications.
 Odell on Stand.
 Former Governor Odell, whose en- trance into the trial, was viewed with some concern by the colonel, was. not dispose dto take aggressive action. He insisted that no Democrat had con- tribute dto the campaign fund of 1899 or 1890. This disputed the statsment attributed by Roosevelt to Barnes that A. l.. Brady and Robert c. Pruyne of Alhany had made such contributions.
 The witness who went after the colonel hardest was John Hutchinson, a Barnes lieutenant, who. visited the defendant in 1914 for the purpose of finding out his intenNon toward the gubernatorial nomination. Hutchinson said he met Mc. Roos" welt at the Harvard club and told him that Republicans and Progressives had better forget direct primaries and other "dead issues which nobdy cared anything about" and get together With this, he said, the colonel agreed T. R. Man to Attack Wilson.
 "He told me-" said Hutchinson "that he could go after Wilson in hta Pittsburgh speech and attack his for eign treaties, and that he was the on ly man who could do, it. He said however. that he would not stand for the party while it was dominated by Barnes; that there was not room Tn the party for him and Barnes at the same time."
 Tho purpose of the Hutchinson tes' timony was, of course, to prove the Barnes contention that the attack l made in the colonel's statement was personal ratVer than political. thus tending to show malice.
 1 But few more witnesses remain te he examined. Barnes was not III court this afternoon. He will proDa' bly take the stand tomorrow.

New York, May 12.-Acting on or ders from Washington. 70 customs in- spcctors were rushed to Hoboken to- day to inspect the German steam ships interned there.

 Despite attempts at secrecy. 1t was learned that the officers were order a to make thorough search for arms and ammunition. Their findings were kept secret.
