ALLIES WINNING
ALONG WESTERN
BATTLE From 7.
FURIOUS BATTLE RAGING IN RE-
GION BETWEEN THE COAST AND
ARRAS-BELGIANS BEAR BRUNT
OF FIGHTING
Russians Admit That Cars Soldiers
Are Retreating in Galicia But Deny
Reports From Vienna That Army is
Routed.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May 12.-From the Bel
gian coast to Arrais, a great battle
is ra ging between the Allies and the
Germans. The Belgians are bearing
the brunt of the fighting and have
made several gains during the day.
Near the Belgian border the French
are furiously attacking the Germans.
Minor advances have been made there,
according to authentic reports.
The German offensive is directed
against the English and despite claims
from Berlin to the effect that the Brit
ish have been pushed back, English
military authorities still assert that
the English are holding their own.
1t is expected that within a few
hours, this battle will assume enor-
nous proportions.
Russians Admit Defeat.
Official dispatches from Fetrograd
admit that the Russians are retreating
in Galicia, but deny that the retreat
has been as general as Berlin would
have the public believe. Reports from
Vienna and Berlin state that the Rus
SLAMS are retreating without the sem
blance of order and that the entire
army of the Gar has been routed.
This report is emphatically denied by
Petrograd. The Russian government
intimates that the retreat is for strate-
gic purposes alone.
Heavy Loss in East.
Reports from all sources indicate
that both the Turks and the Allies
have lost heavily in the fighting along
the Galaplian peninsula. Minor sue
cesses there have been made by the
Allies.

Mrs. Beach, who has been sick fol

nurses were secured for the care anc
attention of the two invalids.
Miss Klasing stated that she was
subject to heart failures and that the
attacks were generally brought about
by sudden excitement or over exer,
ton. Last evening she had come dowr
town with the little daughter of Mrs
Beach, to obtain some groceries, anC

MR.. kELLAR WILL KEEP

Instrument He Won in The Tribune

J. Otto Keller, the well-known CapG
County farmer who won The Tribune S
contest piano last week, is not going
to present it to the Lutheran Church
at Gordonville, as reported. This re-
port was given out in Gordonville, but
without authority from Mr. Keller.
THAT is an erroneous report" said
Mr.. Keller yesterday. az was asked
several times during the campaign
whether I intended giving it to the
church, but in each instance | stated
that ! would not. The Lutheran
Church of Gordonville, of which l am
member, has an excellent piano, and
therefore would not want another.
81 entered The Tribune's contest to
win the piano for my family. l am
very fond Of music as are the mem
bers of my family, and we are enjoy
ing the new prize piano immensely. I
am exceedingly grateful to my friends
for their aid, and ] will always be a
friend of The Daily Tribune"
The piano is retaiIed at $3.50.
