lifted the arrow to the bow, and slow

he never removed his eyes from the

GERMANS TO DEFEAT WILSON
Editor of The FstherIand Says Ma
jority Are Against Him.

New York. May 6-President VIII
sons foreign policy has lost him the
German-American vote and in the
coming campaign the German" is
sue will be a big one, in the opinion
of George Sylvester Viereck, editor
of The Fatherland, who is making a
canvass of all the editors of German
newspapers in this country.
The bulk of the answers from the
editors shows, he says, that in no
circumstances would any considerable
part of the 100000 German-Amer-
lean voters support the president were
he a candidate tomorrow.
1t is Mr.. Viereck's opinion that If
the Republicans nominate candidate
of a type the poet-editor describes as
entirely neutral most of this vote
would be cast for him.

GERMANS ARE MORE
CONFIDENT THAN EVER

Berlin, May 6.--Germany is more
confident than ever before that all
efforts of the enemies to crush her
must prove in vain.
With threefold offensive-in Flan-
ders, in Galicia and in Northwest Rus
sia-being successfully prosecuted
there is a spirit of enthusiasm dis
played here in both military and
civilian circles that exceeds even the
stirring days Immediately following
the outbreak of the war
The report from both the east and
west fronts agree that the German Of
fensive is only developing, but that al
ready surprising gains have been
made 1t is declared that the Ger
man forces around Ypres have closed
in so that the city, the British army
base, is partly encircled and the Ger
man fire is soon expected to make 1t
untenable.
In general, ground is being gained
in the Argonnes, between the Meuse
and Moselle, and in Alsace. While de-
tails of the fighting are withheld for
strategic reasons it Is said at the war
office that important announcements
may soon be looked for.
In Galicia the Germans continue to
press back the Russians and announce.
ment that the attempted invasion OF
Hungary has proven abortive is ex-
pected soon. The invasion of the
Baltic provinces is being pressed and
enormous quantities of grain and 9th
er foodstuffs have been captured.

Witness Tells Of Commits
SiOnS to Boss Barnes.
Following Another Appearance Of
Colonel Roosevelt on the Stand
Evidence for the Plaintiffs Side of
the Case Will Be introduced.

Syracuse, n. Y, May 6.-Foam and
froth of past brewing political storms
were thrown up on the tide of the
Barnes Roosevelt libel suit.
The morning session was devoted
to the printing matters, Roosevelt's
appearance to give testimony, ex-
cluded last week, being postponed for
the time
How the Albany Journal company,
Barnes newspaper, was paid large
commissions on state, county and city
contracts by the ]. b. Lyon company,
which performed the work, was stated
by Manager c. Nj. Winchester of the
latter.
He insisted there was no wrong in
paying such commissions, stating il
was a usual business custom. Win
chester said he never knew of Barnes
using his political influence to get
public printing work for the Lyon
company when Barnes was a stock
holder in it. That the Lyon company

CLAIM SITUATION
NOT so CRITICAL
Russian Reports Of Fighting
in Western GaliCia.
TEUTON GAINS ADMITTED

Grand Duke Nicholas Declares, How
ever, That Antagonists Are Being
Held at the Dunajec River-LittIe
OF Importance Elsewhere in the
War Zone.
London. May 6.-The Russian re.
ports concerning the recent fighting
in West Galicia are being accepted by
British military critics as reducing the
German claims of victory in this bat
tie to more just proportions.
Following his custom Grand Duke
Nicholas, commander-in-chief in the
field, has not hesitated to admit a re.
verse and confirms the German state
ment that his antagonists have sue
ceeded in breaking across the Duna-
jec river. But the grand duke adds
that he is holding them fast on the
bank of the stream and he seems to
intimate that he has little anxiety
concerning the ultimate outcome of
the fierce fighting which has been go
ing on in this region for week.
Observers in London are of the opin-
ion that the fact that the Russians
have not been diverted from their oh.
jective elsewhere and that battles in
the stry region continue with un
abated energy is evidence that the
situation of the Russians is not so
critical as has been painted and the
idea is being advanced in London that
political reasons may have had some
thing to do with the huge Importance
attached TO this success by the Ger.
man and the Austrian governments in
their official communications concern
ing 1t.
In the Western Arena.
1t is admitted that the readjustment
of the British line in Flanders, with
the consequent abandonment of sew
eral positions east of Ypres, marks
the extent of the advantages won by
Germany from her victory between
Ypres and Dixmude BY Strengthening
this line, however, Sir John French
the British commander-in- n-chief, has
cut off a salient which threatened
military disadvantage should the Ger
mans attempt another thrust with the
reinforcements said to be rushing
through Belgium. All the German at
tacks thus far, according to both the
British and French official statements
have been shattered on this new line
The news from Gallipoli Is consid
cred reassuring, setting forth that the
allies have made good the positions
gained after the first fierce onslaughts
upon the Turks during the landing
operations. Subsequent German and
Turkish attacks have been repulsed
with heavy losses to the Ottoman
forces, who gradually are being push
ed in a northerly direction.
The German submarine campaign
I'm the waters of the United Kingdom
shows no signs of let up. The lis
of vessels sent to the bottom length
ems every day, although the victims
mostly are of small Importance.
