Gigantic Conflict Comes to An End
By Associated Press.

New York, May 2S.-Elbert H..
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation and president of the
American Iron and Steel Institute, in
an address to-day at the annual meet
ing of the institute declared that after
the war there would be seen among the
nations the most persistent efforts to
succeed in the international race for su-
premacy that the world has over wit
messed. Whether the United States
would occupy the first, or secondary
place, depended much upon our man
agement of affairs, he said.
"There was never in history, there
fore, so great necessity for wise and
disinterested craftsmanship, or for
loyal and honorable conduct upon the
part of practical business men.
"After all differences are adjust
ed, - said Judge Gary, "the nations
now, or be engaged in this colossal
conflict, though terribly crippled, will
take new start and in many respects
new course and will begin immedi-
ately to build on a better and frmer
and more permanent basis for success
and high achievement in everything
that adds to national wealth, power,

Russian Report on Permysl

Petrograd, Via London, May 2S,
S.12 a. M.-Use by the Teutonic allies
of asphyXiating gas to cover their of
fensive in the Ossowctz~ region is re-
ported in an official statement issued
last night by the Russian general
staff. Austro-German attacks all along
the line between the upper Vistua and
the left bank of the San are reported
TO have been repulscd with heavy loss
to the attackers.
A very stubborn battle is said to be
continuing on both banks of the San
between Permysl and the Lubaczowka
river, as well as between Permysl and
the great marshes of the Dneister.
The Russians claim to have inflicted
enormous losses upon their antagonists
on the 18th on the entire front, captur-
ing prisoners during counter attacks.
The communication follows:
Very Stubborn Battle Continues
''In Galicia on the 25th and the sue.
cccding night the enemy delivered at
tacks on the whole of our froat be-
tween the upper Vistula and the left
bank of the San, but was everywhere
rcpulsed with great losses.
GA very stubborn battle continues
with great intensity on both banks of
the San between Permysl and the Lu-
baczowka river, as well as between Per,
mysl and the great marshes of the
Dnester. In the region beyond the
Dniester on the 25th the enemy opened
a determined offensive on the entire
front from the great Dniester marshes
TO Dolina. In the course of this and
the following day the enemy, who suf-
fered enoromus losses, was nowhere
successful.
Hostile elements which pierced our
line between our points of support near
Stry were destroyed by our fire. Dur
ing counter attacks we took many pris-
oners, whose number has not yet been
ascertained definitely"
