server attached 10 the French army.
given out heretoday
I'm the vicinity Of Carency the bat
tie has been conducted by the use
Of mines since January" the OBJ
server writes. THE calm courage
shown by our men in the face of
great dangers is especially worthy of
mention. In this region the galleries
and the subterranean connecting
trenches are more than a mile and a
half In length and the quantity OF
explosives used from March s until
May Is more than twenty-eight
tons.
"on MAY . an attack was begun on
Carency Early i'm the morning the at
tack was prepared by artillery and
simultaneously by the explosion Of SOW
entecn mine fields. which dentroyed
barbed wirc Notifications and fortifcn-
tons and demolished the enemy's subter-
ranean passes. German sappers and
minors were killch outright only sew
enty being captured.
This gave great courage 10 our in
fantry IN charging owing TO the kuowl-
edge that the ground beneath was not
mined nnd they need not fear that any
minute they might he blown up.
Many othOr places also were cap
tured, owing to the splendid work and
long preparation Of tho engineers Their
work was particularly valuable at Lor-
cite and Decauvillc. The work Of the
sappers. In the construction OF trenches.
bombproofs, platforms for guns and
superimposed galleries also has been ex-
cellent. As soon as ground has been
gained engineers are brought up TO Or

Germans Regard Capture of Stry i.
Victory of Strategic Importance

on rctreating. bringing up new forces for
one counter attack after another. The
Austro-German troops, nevertheless drove
them back and pushed forward half way
10 the pneister river.
German military authorities assert that
this victory is OF large strategic i'm
portance. The broad plain north Of stry
does not afford effective opportunities
for defensive operations SO that the Rus
slams arc expected to retreat TO tho
Dneister line at Rozdwow. where they
probably will make a stand In tho swamp
land. Should they he again forced back,
the only other opportunity Of making a,
defense before Lemherg would be in the
lake district south OF that city.
The assertion Is made in Berlin that
the capture OF three forts near Przemysl
and the victory at Stry indicate the
complete expulsion OF the Russians from
Galicia. The last railroad line available
for the Russians out Of Przemysal already
Is under fire.

accessory to the murder of Mary Pha-
gan. denied today that he had written
the Anna Maude Carter letters which

OF Solicitor Dorsey, was the first intima-
tion that Conley had not been the author
of these letters, by which Franks law
yers sought to show that Conley had

gnns body. Conley testified at Frank s
trial that tho notes were written By him

pressiOns and general form of dictation

outside suggestion.
