BIG BATTLE IS RAGING
ON THE WESTERN FRONT

LONDON, May 10, 2: As pm.-Since the
battle Of Neuve Chapelle, France, and the
German reply to it on the Ypres canal,
there has been no such important move
ment by the British and French armies
in the western arena Of the war as now
is in progress. According to the official
communications of both Gen. Joffre and
Field Marshal Sir John French, the allies
are meeting with success
Obviously the British have been able
to throw great reinforcements into the
field since the time when. with the use
of asphyxiating gas. the Germans
forced them to recoil a fortnight ago.
Substantial advance already recorded
by the British is taken by military ex-
perts here as promising that the pres
ent operations will be pushed home.
The British and French are attacking
along a front of twenty-six miles, and
the fighting which commenced Sunday
morning continues. according to today's
official communication issued in Paris.

AUSTRIAN PAPERS JOIN GERMANY
IN LAUDING LUSITANIA DEED

1926 pm-The Cologne Volks Zeitung
says:
The sinking of the Lusitania is a
success Of our submarines which must
be placed beside the greatest achieve
ment of this war. The sinking of the
giant English steamer is a success of
moral significance which is still greater
than material success.
With joyful pride we contemplate
this latest deed of our navy. 1t will
not be the last.
The English wish to abandon the
German people to death by starvation
We are more humane. We simply sank
an English ship with passengers who at
their own risk and responsibility en-
tered the zone Of operations"
The Frankfurter Zeitung comments
thus on the sinking Of the Lusitania.
For the German navy the sinking OF
the 1.usttania means an extraordinary
success. It's destruction demolished the
last fable with which the people of
England consoled themselves. on which
hostile shipping relied when it dared
to defy the German warnings"
