LONDON. May 5.-The magnitude OF
the German victory between the vistula
and the wooded slopes OF the Carpa-
thians is constantly increas ing. accord
ing to to-day's news from Berlin. and
the Russian positions south OF the Dukla
Pass, one Of the important entrances to
the Hungarian plain. are now threat
ened.
The first German drive. which devel-
oped with furious determination from
the Dunajec River. grew into a general
assault which drove the Russian army
before II to the southern side of the
back Of the original Russian positions.
The third fortified line was pierced,
/ according to Berlin. the enemy falling
back along the entire front In a retreat
which brought the Russians almost to
| the banks Of the Wisloka. thirty miles
J away.
I In consequence. says the German War
once. the Russians are beginning to
evacuate their intrenchmcnts southwe.t
OF Dukla. II this is true. 1t must follow
that the Russian troops will be COM
PEELED to abandon their hold on the Dukls
Pass. thus conceding n position of the
utmost strategic Importance and one
which has been won and held at great
cost.
! Berlin asserts that the prisoners made
4 in this victory already number 80. 900.
with booty the extent OF which has not
yet been estimated. Moreover, says
the German War Office. the advance
proceeds. with the Russians fleeing be-
fore the Austro-German troops. IL the
success in this region Is In reality OF as
great magnitude as Berlin reports the
Hungarian plain will be relieved fo'
some time to come OF the attack which
has 80 long been threatened from the
tzok and Dukla passes.
\ newspaper correspondent with tine
German army has sent despatch de-
claring that Gorlice has fallen into
German hands after furious fighting.
At this point. he says. an entire Russian
division was practically annihilated and
all the stan officers, including several
Generals. were killed.
While some of the German successes
. in this area are admitted at Fetrograd
most of them are indirectly denied. An
official statement from the Russian Gen
eral stan says the Germans did succeed
in crossing to the right bank OF the
Dunaje Zee at one place but denies that the
advance was general
IL is ADMITTED al fetfoErad that kus-
sian forces have been compelled to fall
back on their second line OF fortifca-
tons in the face of German reinforce
ments. which attacked In mass forma-
tons under the protection OF with
ering artillery fire.
The Russian reports have done much
In London to discount the scope OF the
German claims. although little doubt Is
nere that the advance in this region
has been OF great Importance.
The Berlin accounts are IL anything
sore than corroborated by the Vienna
official statement to-day. Elsewhere on
the eastern front the days activities dc
not seem to have been Of very great
significance.

half miles ahead OF the Gulf,igh,. but
her painted number could not be made
out In the thick weather that she sub
merged i've minutes later and that the
next thing known aboard the Gulf!ght
was the explosion when presumably she
was torpedoed
capt. Smith mentions that the Gulf
Light was following" British patrol
boat into Bishops. From this II II con-
Guided that the patrol boat must have
been ahead OF the Gulf'ight, and that,
therefore. the report of the commander
OF the patrol boat TO the British Ad-
miralty is likely to prove OF interest. as
he may have been near enough to have
seen the number on the submarine
sighted.
