WAR NEAR IN ORIENT
GIVES CHINA 4s HOURS
TO COMPLY WITH DEMANDS.
Situation In Orient Arouses oraVest
Concern in Washington and Cap
itals of Europe.

London, May IA Japanese ulti-
matum to China" cables the Tokyo
correspondent of the Central News,
grants a delay Of forty-eight hours"
Washington, May China has
given her final reply TO japan. She
expects an ultimatum to be presented
and will reject it. Japan then must
make good her threat to use force or
back down.
This, in a nutshell, is the situation
In the far East. It has aroused the
liveliest concern in Washington and
London.
Everything of an authoritative char
acter that has come from Peking es-
tablishes that President Yuan Shi Kai
has decided to accept war rather than
humiliate his country by acceding to
demands which destroy its sovereign
ty. In this attitude he is backed up
by practically all of the people.
That China alone can successfully
resist the Japanese is of course i'm
possible. An army of 100000 men
has been created, but it is short of
ammunition and two of the three
arms and cartridge factories are at
points accessible to Japanese men-of-
war. 1t is believed in Peking, how
ever, that resistance will be valuable
in arousing the people and that the
great interests of foreign powers will
cause them to intervene. Japan has
a million troops ready for service.

MAKES NEW EPOCH IN WAR
German Offensive Is Maintained From
the Baltic to Roumania, and In
France and seIslum--so,ooo Museo-
Vltes Captured.

London, May s.-The Germans, in
consort with their Austrian allies, are
putting forth an effort the extent of
which has never been approached in
the history of war
Throughout virtually the whole
length Of the eastern front they are
engaged with the Russians, while in
the West, in addition to their attacks
around Ypres. they are on the offensive
at many points. At other points they
are being attacked BY the French,
British and Belgians.
Far up in the Russian Baltic prov
inces, heretofore untouched by the
war, the Germans are, attempting 10
advance toward Libau and Riga; on
the East Prussian frontier they are
engaged in a series Of battles, and
with big gun are bombarding at long
range, as they did at Dunkirk, the
Russian fortress of Grondno, in Cen
trail Poland they have had to defend
themselves against Russian attack;
in western Galicia they are attempting
with all their strength to smash the
Russian flank and compel the Rus
SLAMS to abandon the Carpathian
passes, which they gained at such
cost during the winter.
In this western Galicia battle the
Germans claim to have made still
greater advance and to have crossed
the Wisloka river, which is well to the
east of the Dunajec river, which un-
til few days ago formed part Of the
Russian front, and to have put their
hands firmly on Dukla pass. The Aus
trians announce the capture of Tar
now.
In conjunction with this attack from
the west the Austrians are attempting
to drive the Russians from Lupkow
pass, farther to the east, and with sue
cess, according to the German account
In all, the Germans claim to have TAX
en- 10000 Russian prisoners since the
offensive was undertaken last Satur-
day night The Austrians put the
number at more than $4,000 and ex-
press the belief that the whole Rus
sian Third army will be de-
stroyed
These reports show that the Austro-
German blow is meeting with the
greatest success on the northern
slopes of the western Carpathians, for
toward the Upper Vistula the Russians
appear to be In their old posi-
tions
Despite the claims of the Austrians
and Germans, the Russian representa-
tives in the European capitals reiter-
ate that the victory has been greatly
exaggerated, and the public is waiting
to hear what Grand Duke Nicholas.
commander in chief of the Russian
forces, has to say about 1t.

REJECTS TEUToN SUGGESTION
Text of American Note to German
Foreign Office on Sinking Of
Frye Made Public.

Washington, May 1.-THE state de.
partment made public on Wednesday
the text Of the American note of April
% to the German foreign Office on the
sinking of the American ship William
P. Frye by the raider Prinz Eitel
Friedrich. The United States govern.
ment rejects the German suggestion
that the legality of the capture and de-
struction of the ship and the question
of the payment and amount of in
demnity be submitted to a prize court.
It proposes that the matter be settled
by diplomatic negotiations, pointing
out that the question of liability on the
part of Germany already has been ad-
mitted and that the status of the claim
ants and the amount of the indemnity
are the only questions remaining to
be settled.

rectly from their trenches across the
line held by the British.

Couldn't Part,

Louis Halle was a colonel on Gov
ernor Yates staff, and in that capacity
a part of an inaugural parade. All the
colonels had uniforms a-plenty, but it
was decided to rely upon the Wash
ington supply of horses instead of TAX
ing the mounts along.
The governor sat on his horse await
ing the parade formation, and from
time to time an orderly would gallop
up with an official communication. On
each occasion Colonel Halle was by
his side At last the governor OBJ
served:
Colonel Halle, see no necessity
for your sticking to this orderly in
the performance of his duties"
There isn't any," admitted Halle
"but, you see, our horses are a life
