In the land campaign in France and Belgium there are Limitations of a strong movement of the allies against the Germans, with heavy reinforce ments. The French war office reports the capture of many prisoners and guns during the last two days and German headquarters admits that in the neighborhood of Carency the all lies have succeeded in occupying the foremost German trenches. The at tacks and counter attacks are contin- uous and the losses on both sides are heavy.
 The British line, notwithstanding a very strenuous week, remaiis tine same to the east of Ypres as il was on the night of May 3-4, when the British troops were obliged to draw back a little.
 In the Carpathians the Germans are reported to be making preparations for further movement against the Russians in their new positions, while in the Baltic provinces the Russians have succeeded in inflicting upon their adversaries a check near Mitau.
 While all advices indicate that Italy is ready to take decisive action and that the lime limit fixed for Austria S reply to the Italian demands has just about expired, no word has come of break between the Austrian and Ital- ian governments.
 The final movements of both coun- tries are being yelled in secrecy.

Washington, May 10.-Assurances from the Turkish government that Americans in Ururniah, Persia, where bandit uprisings were reported some weeks ago. were safe and not in need of financial aid, reached the state de- partment today in a cablegrame from Ambassador Morgenthaug at Coustanti- nople.

Since then re- ports from Armenia have indicated similar disturbances there. No def mate word has reached the state de- partment as to the Armenian situa- tion, although an inquiry was ordered as soon as the reports were brought to Secretary Bryan's attention by the Russian ambassador.

 COUNSELS FORBEARANCE
Confident of Ability of President Will son to Cope With Lusitania Affair.

New York, May 10.-A1ton B. Park er democratic candidate for the pres idency in 1904, issued this state ment today: "The attempt to per suade the public what action the Lus- itania disaster requires, the president Is to take, is unfair to him and may work great injury to us. He alone must bear the heavy responsibility of decision-and greater there cannot be. No one knows it better than he. For both personal and patriotic req sons his best efforts will be put forth. We all know this to be true. Why, then, do we not let him alone? Why not give him time? There is cer- tainly no need for hurry. On the make haste slowly.
 Have we forgotten the Maine? Can we not see President Mckinley, stand ing with his back to the wall in the face of the hoarse cry of angry men demanding war-and his refusal to hurry? He saw his duty to the people and performed it. True, in the end war came-but not as result of pas sion-and in the meantime the senti- ment of the world had come to our side.
 The president has information that we have not. When to announce a decision may be almost as important as what that decision shall be. Let us all pray that those who will be heard because they cannot act may be induced to desist until the man chosen by the people to decide shall have performed his great task

He kept his eyes open and finally saw the light Then his head protruded from the water, but stayed there only lon genough for him to get a couple of gasps of air. He was pulled down again and came up almost underneath two boats. He was picked up a moment later.
 Dr. Kenan was i'll when he went into the water His condition is still serious, but he probably will recover.
