GERMAN REPORT IF VICTORY NOT
 SO SAYS FRENCH
Field Marshal Admits Ne cessity of Rcadiusting the Lines in Yprcs Region, But States German At tacks Were Repulsed
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

LONDON. May 5.-A German off cial statement issued this afternoon claims victories both over the Russians in Western Galicia and over the British to the east of Ypres in Flanders. Field Marshal Sir John French, British com mander-in- chief. has admitted that he was compelled to readjust the lines in the region of Ypres. but the French communication far from confirming the German victory in Belgium, states the German attacks were repulsed and that the Germans being taken on the flank by the French artillery, suffered very seVerleY.
 Conflicting reports from the beliiger- ents in the east make it impossible to judge the situation there The German submarines are seemingly now devot- ing attention to the British fishing fleet. Fifteen trawlers have been sunk since Sunday night, but without loss of life
 A late report from the British war office also says the German attacks were repulsed near Ypres, although the Germans used asphyXiating gases and did get a footing by the use of these fumes on hill No. 60 southeast of Ypres, which since the British captured it recently has been repeatedly at tackled
 There has been fighting all along the rest of the western front in all of which the Germans claim to have been successful
 The French, however, have another story to tell. They insist their advance continues both along the Yser canal, in Flanders, and in Woevre where the bat ties have been continuous for weeks on end The Austrians and Germans to- night say the Russians have been badly beaten in Western Galicia and have commenced to retire from the Western Carpathians. where as the latest Rus sian report, while admitting the Aus tro- Germans succeeded in getting across the Dunajec River declares they were checked there.
 The country around the eastern frontier has been the scene of battles of more or less importance while on the other end of the Russian line in Eastern Galicia, the Russians are at tacking the Austro- Germans despite their reported defeat or check in the western part of that province Athens credits the allies with further success es in the attacks on the Dardanelles and Smyrn1 but the Turks again re- port the defeat of the allied troops who landed on the Gallipoli peninsula.

As the state department is well informed on the progress of important negotia- tions in Pekings this led observers here to the conclusion that in all liklihood the latest Japanese note, while drastic and severe in tone, does not necessarily mark the conclusion of the negotiations. In Japanese circles it is believed this note will in the end be sufficient to obtain the compliance of China with the principal demands of Japan.
 In these same quarters, however, it (COntinued on Paoa F'iveN

The Supply Bill.

ne SdPPiJ oiis
 The house committee of the whole will probably conclude its considera ton of the general appropriation bill today: that is the formal considera tion. but there will be odds and ends to be picked up. The time that process will consume is a matter of conjecture. There only ten more sections carrying appropriations to be gone over. all of them relating to the university. which does not happen to furnish a battle ground for the two democratic factions. Most of the other sections gone over brought the factions into contact
 The chief events of the conSidera- = ton yesterday were the defeat of the provisions for the state land depart ment". whatever that may be. for the next two years and the striking out of the item for the expenditure of s4O.OOO for the prison farm. It cannot be said after all that that section was actually stricken out; It merely failed to hold it's place. It was disposed of in this wise. An on slaught was begun on it by Repre- sentative Christy and Graham on the grounds that the times were too hard TOT Sutn d AuAUA tAieiN AN ''tN' NN0 indefinite: it did not specify the farm to be purchased. it's location. the number of acres it should contain, and contained no specifications re- rarding the manner in which the money should be spent.
 In the midst of an arraignment of the section. MT Richardson of Pima edged in with an amendment to sub -r,,fe- --in m for the prison farm and to cut down the appropriation from s4o.o0O to s2O'- GOO. The transmission line was to run from Sacaton to the prison and Florence. considerable element of those opposed to the prison farm was also opposed to the transmission line and Mir Christy proposed to strike out the section as amended. That amendment was lost by a tie vote and the fight was renewed over the transmission line. MT. Pinkley was the chief champion of the farm but he did not antagonize the transmits sion line project
 That amendment was defeated and probably the action might have gone through for the present at least, if some iIl-advised friend of the prison farm had not moved the adoption of the section. which had been under the procedure of the commission, adop- ted in effect. by failure to strike it out or amend it. But the motion to adopt reminded the opponents of the prison farm that the battle was not vet over and they gathered their forces with the result that the motion tc adopt was defeated Thus s40,00o vas Topped from the bill.
 The days work was begun with the elimina ton of s25.000. the pro- posed appropriation for the state land department to which objection was made that the section had not been offered in good faith "We might as well say it now" said Mir Christy. "I

Provision for "State Land Department Defe a f e q and $40,000 Prison Farm Item is Stricken Out in the House

The Temperance Federation is manifesting a deep interest in the second extra session of the legiS- lature. Following meeting of the federation the night before a dele satiOn of members called on Gov ernor Hunt yesterday, requesting him to include in his call legislation on the subject of prohibition. to carry out the mandate contained in the cons stitutional amendment
 The governor did not definitely re ply but the delegation left with the impression that the governor would accede to its wishes of the federation. While the amendment is. as it was meant to be- self executing. so many differences of opinion have become manifest as to its precise meaning that it is likely to be interpreted one way in one part of the state and another way in another.

The Bravery of Jews.

Jews! Never again will the brav'
cry of the Jews be questioned. The
European war has found them at the
front on many battle field, fighting
shoulder to shoulder with their COM
patriots among the various belliger-
ents. Discussing at a meeting of the
Judeans in New York City the topic,
"The Jew as Citizen in the Country
of His Domicile," DR.. Henry M.
Leipzler declared that from all the
countries involved in the conflict
came reports that the Jews were rail-
lying to the support of the country Of
their adoption, and were conducting
themselves with heroism. Jews in
the German army have received the
iron cross, and in the Russian army
have won distinction. The ability of
the Jew to remain distinct people
and yet to support loyalty to the
country of their birth or adoption is
one Of the marvels Of history.
