TEUTON ALLIES CAPTURE
TARNOW AND DUKLA PASS
Fifty Thousand Russ Taken Prison
ers by Austro-German Armies
New Epoch in War.

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 often
sive 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 to
advance toward Libau and Riga; on
the East Prussian frontier they are
engaged in series of battles, and
with a big gun are bombarding at long
range, as they did at Dunkirk, the
Russian fortress of Grodno; in CEN
trail Poland they have had to defend
themselves against a Russian attack;
in western Galicia they are attempting
with all their strength to smash the
Russian flank and compel the Rus
sians 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 we'll to the
east of the Dunajec river, which I'M
til few days ago formed part Of the
Russian front, and to have put their
hands firmly on Dukla pass. The.Aus-
TRANS 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
taken 10000 Russians prisoners since
the offensive was undertaken last Sat
urday 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 destroyed.
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 it.

0LNEY AND CRANE WILL
GO ON PEACE MISSION
Named by Secretary of State Bryan
Under Special Treaties-Real
Purpose Kept Secret.

Washington, May 10.-Charles r.
Crane of Chicago has been appointed
by Secretary Bryan as one of the COM
missioners under the Bryan peace
treaty with Russia, which was signed
last October. He will go abroad on a
special mission for the state depart
ment. 1t is presumed he is to go to
the object of his mission is denied at
the state department and refused by
Mr.. Crane
Former Attorney General Richard
Olney of Massachusetts has been
named by the state department a COM
missioner under a similar peace treaty
with France. 1t is not known whether
Mr.. Olney is to be sent to France on
any special mission in connection with
his appointment.
Secretary Bryan conferred with Mr.
Crane at some length as to plans for
his work abroad. Later Mr. Crane
saw the president. He denied infor-
nation as to the character of the con-
versations. the nature of his special
mission or to what country he was
going. There was rumor that Mr..
Crane might go to China. 1t was based
on the fact that Minister Paul S.
Reinsch is returning to this country
from Picking The reported amicable
agreement reached by Japan and
China as to their contentious makes
this unlikely.
1t is more probable that Mr.. Crane
is to go to Russia. The recent repeal
of the commercial treaty between the
United States and Russia, carrying
with it the cancellation of passport
privileges, has been a vexatious sub
ject. At one time it was asserted
there could be no peace treaty signed
by the two countries until this diff
ference had been adjusted. Mr. Crane
may go ON special mission of ar
ranging a new commercial treaty
with Russia.

It often happens that a man has no

spend ten hours in getting rid of them.
He expects her to provide for the
inner man, but he kicks when she
asks him to provide for the outer
woman.
Tell a girl how pretty she is looking
