GERMANS CLAIM VICTORY
Field Marshal French. British Com
mander.ln-chief, Admits That A.
lies Were RepuIsed.

London.-The German Official report
Of May claims victories both over
the Russians in Western Galieia and
over the British in Flanders. Field
Marshal SIR John French, British COM
mander-in. chief, admits he was com
PEELED to readiust HIS lines in the re
gion OF Ypres. but the French com
mander, far from confirming a Ger
man victory in Belgium. declares the
German attacks we're repulsed and
that the Germans being taken on the
flank by French artillery, suffered Sc
verely.
S A late report from the British war
office. also says that German attacks
were repulsed, although the Germans
used asphyxiation gases and by the
use Of these fumes did get footing on
Hill No. 60 southeast Of Ypres. which
since the British captured 1t recently
has been attacked repeatedly
There has been fighting all along the
rest Of the western front, in all Of
which the Germans claim successes.
The French. however, insist that their
advance continues both along the User
canal. ID Flanders, and in the Woevre.
where battles have been continuous for
weeks on end.
Conflicting reports from the east
make It impossible to Judge Of the po-
sition there. The Austrians and Ger
mans say the Russians have been
beaten badly in Western Galicia aid
have commenced to retire from the
Western Carpathians, whereas the lat
est Russian report. while admitting
that the Austro-Germans got across
the Dunajec riFer, declares they we're
checked there.
The county around the East Prus-
sian frontier also has been the scene
Of battles Of more or less importance,
while at the other end of the Russian
line. in Eastern Galicia, the Russians
are attacking the Austro-Germans. de-
spite their reported check in the west
ern part OF that province.
Athens credits the allies with fur
ther successes in their attacks on the
Dardanelles and Smyrna. but the
Turks again report the defeat of the
allied troops on the Gallipoli PENN
sula.
German submarines seemingly now
are devoting their attention to the
British fishing fleet.

ITALYs DECISION ON EVE
Rome Waits Feverishly as Thread of
Neutrality Strains Before
Swapping.

Paris.-The Temps has published
dispatch from its correspondent at
Rome who says the impression pre-.
walls there that Italy is on the eve OF
1 supreme decision. The negotiations
with Austria clearly have reached a
critical stage. In German circles there
is great depression. Every one now
is convinced that Italy will not recede
and that Austria cannot satisfy her
demands.
Rome, the correspondent continues,
is waiting IN feverish anxiety. as It
Is known that Germany is making her
last effort with Austria No one hopes
for any result from this desperate at
tempt and the breaking Of the thread
still holding Italy to the central EN-
pires is expected at any minute.
