natum. The correspondent adds that
u is believed the Chinese Cabinet IN
the event of the presentation Of the
ultimatum, will yield TO main force.
THE Daily News to-day publishes
an editorial on the Chinese situation
which reads in part as follows:
at would not be easy 70 parallel
such demands from one power 10 an
other as Japan has made in China. In
many respects they are more stringent
than the Austrian demands upon Ser
bia, which led 20 the European War,
and China has done nothing 20 incur
such a penalty. She offered no menace
20 Japan, and she wanted only 10 enjoy
her own liberties in her own way.
IF China had been a military nation
she never would have been thus chal-
lenged. She has neither the will nor
the power 20 take an unfriendly and
irreooncilible course toward her pow
erful neighbor. and II IS grotesque TO
suggest that she is responsible for the
crisis.
at will be the last and the most bit

consequences be that an unofending

Be in Command of Move
ment Toward Libau.
GRODNO BOMBARDED
AS WAS DUNKlRK
Long Range Gun Drops Shells In
Cars Fortress-Series OF
Battles on Frontier.

London, May 6.--The German OF
fensive on the East Prussian frontier
Of Russian Poland and to the north
west seems to be growing more gen
eral. Far up in tho Russian Baltlc
provinces, heretofore untouched by the
war, the Germans are attempting 70
advance toward Libau and Riga. On
the East Prussian border they are en-
gagged in a series of battles, and with
big gun are bombarding at long range
as they did Dunkirk, the Russian,
fortress of Grodno. In Central POLAND
they have had to defend themselves
against a Russian attack.
To-day's Petrograd official report
gives this account of the fighting:
"An engagement took place yester-
day near Libau, on the Baltic, with
German torpedo boat. -,
There were skirmishes, which re-
suited favorably for us, south of Mitau,
Courland, and near the village of Be
siagola.
ION the right bank of the Orzica on
the evening of the 4th, we repulsed an
impetuous attack by the Germans
which had been prepared for by fierce
fire lasting an hour and half we
inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
East of the Mlawa railway we sue
ceeded by surprise attack in the cap
ture Of the farm Of Pomicany. Yester-
day the enemy made incessant, but
abortiye, counter attacks lasting six
hours. In front of the farm, which
stall remains in our hands, the Ger
mans left about thousand dead.
Berlin thus officially describes the
progress of the engagements:
Southwest of Mitau, south OF
Shadow and east of Rossiene RUSSIAN
Courland) fighting continued.
Northeast and southwest of Kali
warya our positions were attacked sew
eral times yesterday by strong Russian
forces. All these attacks failed, with
very heavy losses to the enemy.
"'rhe enemy advanced against our
bridge heads on the Pilica River with
out success.

Grodno (about $50 miles northeast OF
Warsaw last night"
Berlin, May (via London 1t is
understood in we'll informed quarters
that the German troops in Courland
are now nearing the port Of Libau,
which probably will be attacked by
land and sea. Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg himself is in command there.
His design appears to be TO take Libau,
and probably Riga as we'll, and use
these ports az bases for harasslng Rus
sian communications with Petrograd.
The Russians already have sent from
Kovno reinforcements for resisting
these operations, the results of which
must soon be apparent.

night from Vienna:
AT O'Clock this afternoon, the last
Russian positions on the heights east
of the Dunajcc ana inc Blala rivers
were gained by our troops.
"Tarnow was captured by us at 10
O'Clock this morning.
Forces OF til Teuton allies are adj
vancing successfully along the entire
front in West Galicia. Troops of the
enemy, still intact, are attempting, by
taking up favorable defensive posi-
lions, to cover their hasty retreat.
THE strong Russian forces in the
Beskid region are being seriously men
aced by the flank attack of our yictOri-
Gus armies. Already we have forced
the fighting in the regions of Jaslo
and Dukla, and the engagement now in
progress will complete the humiliation
Of the third Russian army.
"The number Of prisoners in our
hands has been increased to more than
10000"

Russians Resist Fiercely.
The Petrograd official version of the
fighting in the south follows:
an Galicia the battle between the
Vistula and the Carpathians was con-
tinucd yesterday with great obstinacy.
Covered by heavy artillery fire, the
enemy continued to concentrate forces
Oh the right bank of the Dunajec. The
cnemys main efforts were directed
toward Biccz and Jaslo.
Our troops were severely tried,
owing to the superiority of the enemy's
heavy artillery, but the enemy also suf-
fered heavily under our shrapnel and
rife fire when he attempted to attack.
IN the direction Of Stryj during
Tuesday we developed our success on
positions on Mount Makouwka. The
number Of prisoners we made in this
action amounts to 1000 men, including

Retreat Is Blocked.

Field Marshal Won Hoetzendorf's

Detachments Of this army may work
their way out, but it is declared that

Battle On at Goriice
Sill. Russians Claim

Petrograd, May 6.-The Germans are
developing a most serious movement
in large force from the region Of the
Austrian fortress Of Cracow in the
direction Of the River Dunajec. The
Germans succeeded in forcing the
river, but, according 10 Russian ad-
vices, they were effectively checked on
the east bank by artillery fire.
In number of troops and pieces of
artillery and generally through the
vigorous character of the movement
this offensive eclipses all the other
scattering manpuyres which the Ger
mans have been employing in an at
tempt TO dislodge the Russians from
the Carpathian Mountains.
On May German forces in a nur-
ricane advanced until they approached
within POO PAGES Of the Russian
trenches near Gorlice There, though
badly crippled by Russian artillery,
they held their positions until nlght-
fall. The engagement near Gorlice
continues undecided, while to the cast
ward along the Carpathian front at
Mezolaborcz, Koziowka and Galovet-
ski, the heights changed hands three
times before the Russians obtained
permanent possession Of them on
May 3.
