SOLE HOPE OF BECKER
LIES IN THE GOVERNOR
~ AnnoelArrn PRrnn,

NEW YORK, July 29.-The sole
hope of saving Charles Becker from
dying in the electric CHAIR at Sing
Sing prison tomorrow morning lies in
Governor Whitman. Counsel for
Becker announced today that they
had abandoned the idea, of appealing
to Judge Hogan, of the court of app
peals at Syracuse. for stay of exc
cution.
The attorneys added that the only
course remaining open for them 20
pursue was to appeal to the governor
to reprieve Beckr until October when
the court of appeals reconvenes.
Should the governor grant such a
stay of execution counesI said they
would enter an appeal from the decis-
ion of Supreme Court Justice Ford,
who last night declined to grant .
new trial on the ground of newly dis
covered evidence.

LONDON, July 29.-Except from
Sokal, Galicia, where the Russians
claim by a counter offensive to have
thrown back the Austro-H ungarians
across the Dniester river. little de.
finite news reached London today
from the eastern battlefield. To the
east of the Narew river the extent
of the German advance from Rozan
is marked by the capture OF the viii
lage of Goworowe, which lies only
six miles from the river.
The exact status Of the operations
on the eastern front is proving a
puzzle to students of the Warsaw
campaign even Petrograd being un-
cerSain whether the vast operations
between the Bug and the Vistula riv-
ers marks the crisis of the battle
or only pause to allow one side or
the other to draw breath or rear
range it's forces.
Along the western front compare
tive quiet prevails with Berlin claim
ing and Paris admitting the reoc-
cupation of trenches in the SoucheZ
section.
Rome explains the lull along the
1sonze river front on the ground that
the Italians are engaged in organiz-
ing and securing the positions which
they won on the Carso plateau, but
Vienna claims the lack of activity
which means the termination of the
Italian attack, after successful
Austro-Hungarian defense along the
whole chosen battle line.
German submarine warfare, which
ragged around the Orkney islands at
the end of last week, presumably
against trade with the only Russian
port. Archangel, has been transferred
to the northeast of Suffolk, where
several neutral as we'll as British
ships have fallen victims to the un-
dersea commerce raiders.
The situation nthe near East re-
mains apparently unchar&ed so far
/ as any departure from neutrality is
concerned, but the entente allies are
already showing considerable irrita-
ton over Bulgaria's successful nego-
tiations with Turkey and they soon
may transfer their displeasure to
:Rounmania, which is reported to be
ready to lift the embargo on the ex-
port of grain thereby supplying the
central powers with huge accession
of food supplies.

Herr Lennhoff, correspondent of the

ters, under date of March IS:
"The Russian offensive against the
Carpathans line has broken down
quicker than was first anticipated. con-
sidering the vigor with which the at
tack was begun. The Russian hope
was TO break the Austrian and German
lines east of Lupkow Pass. They sent
forward huge forces there. but all al
tacks were repulsed with enormous
Russian losses. and the Austrians and
Germans aer steadily, if slowly, gain
ing ground.
The Russian tactics consisted in
charging in five successive lines. As
soon as one line was cut down an
other advanced until all five had been
shot down. The attacking forces,
chiefly Siberans, held their ground
stubbornly. Although many hundreds
were taken prisoners. none of them sur
rendered readily, but had to be over
