TEUTONs FORCING THE ALLIES
British Admit Use Of Gases by
Germans Caused Loss of Holly
Disputed Hill 60

London, May 5.-The German Of
fetal report issued this afternoon
claims victories both over the Rus
slams in western Galicia and over the
British to the east Of Ypres in Fland-
ers.
The Russians are in full retreat
from Hungary, with the Austro-
German forces in close pursuit, ac-
cording to an official announcement
made in Vienna to-day.
Berlin reports further gains in
Flanders. The British are said to
be in retreat and suffering heavily.
French Admits Reverse
Field Marshal Sir John French,
the British commander in chief, has
admitted that he was compelled to
re-adjust his lines in the region of
Ypres; but the French communica-
ton. far from confirming a German
victory in Belgium, states that the
German attacks were repulsed and
that the Germans, being taken on
the flank by the French artillery,
suffered very severely.
A late report from the British War
Office also says that German attacks
were repulsed, although the Ger
mans. by using a~sphyxiating gases.
succeeded in getting a footing on
Hill No. 60. southeast of Ypres.
which since the British captured it
recently, has been repeatedly at
tackled.
Claim Victory Everywhere
There has been fighting all along
the rest of the western front. in all
of which the Germans claim to have
been successful.
The French, however, have another
story to tell. They insist that their
advance continues both along the
User canal in Flanders and in the
Woevre. where battles have been
continuous for weeks on end.
Conflicting reports from the bel
ligerents in the East make it impos-
sible to quite judge of the position
there, The Austrians and Germans
tonight say that the Russians have
been badly beaten in western Galicia
and have commenced to retire from
the western Carpathians. whereas
the latest Russian report. while ad-
hitting that the Austro-G Germans
succeeded in getting across the Dun
alec river declares that they we're
checked there.
Allies Watch Italy
Italian developments are being
watched. 1t seems certain that It.
ally will be brought into the war.
Count Goluchowski is due in Rome
to-day on a special mission from the
Austrian government, and is ex-
pected to deliver a clear statement
of Austria's intentions.
Indications that the Russian army
operating in the Carpathians is in
adequately supplied come from
Berlin.
Thousands of prisoners wore only
a cap as uniform" says a dispatch.
"They were in civilian clothing and
complained of being insufficiently
fed"
Whether the German demonstra-
ton in northwest Russia is intended
to keep reinforcements from being
sent to the southern field, or
is a new offensive undertaken by
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
forces, remains to be seen. Petro-
grad claims the movement has en-
tirely failed, while Berlin announces
that all gains are being held.
A private message from Riga, re-
ceived in Petrograd, states that six
German guns, eight machine guns
and a large number of prisoners have
been brought there. The "Russky
Invalid" declares that the raid will
not prevent the Russian movement
toward the Mazurian lakes and that
troops from the Petrograd district
can easily cope with the raiders.
The country around the East Prus-
sian frontier also has been the scene
of battles of more or less import
ance, while at the other end of the
