Field Marshal Won Hinderburg, in
his attack ON Riga, has reached OLAF.

east of Sloaim on the Ida Rovno rail

admission, have continued their sue

According to Petrograd the Russians

thus doing q lot OF damage.
Italian Ad~ancs

clouded in doubt, although all advices
agree that the defenders of that aeoun-

OF Austria, Germany and Bulgaria and
are anxiously hooking in the directions
whence the hoped sfor British and
French assistance will come. A late re
port from Athens Eays that the French
troops have crossed the Vardaf river
and are threatening the Bulgars south
OF Islip.
Even though the French have adj
vanced beyond Demir Kapu, as this
report announces, they have still a
long way to go before they can bring
aid to the little Serbian army. which
in the hast two weeks has suffered
heavily. With vranya in the hands Of
the Bulgarians and the main railway

cultics to be encountered by the re-

Won Der Lancken's Attitude
Secretary Gibson's report to Minister
Whitlock continues:
THE circumstances of the case were
explained to him and your note was
presented. He read II aloud in our pres
ence. He expressed disbelief in the re-
port that sentence had actually been
passed and manifested surprise that we
should give credence to any report not
emanating from official sources. He was
quite insistent on knowing the exact
source Of our information, but this
did not feel at liberty to communicate
TO him.
Baron Won Der Lancken stated thai
1t was quite improbable that sentence
had been pronounced and even If so II
would not he executed In so snort a
time. and that in any event II would be
quite impossible to take any action be-
fore morning.

him. that even if the facts We're as
we believed them to be, action would

he agreed to do. He telephoned to the
presiding judge of the court martial
and returned to say that the facts were
as we had presented them and that
it was intended to carry out the SEN
tence before morning.
I'VE then presented as earnestly as
possible your plea for delay. SO 1ar

Mr.. Gibson's report continues:
The Spanish minister forcibly sup
ported all our representations ana
made an earnest plea for clemency.
Baron Won Der Lancken stated that
the military governor was the supreme
authority in matters of this sort and
that an appeal from his decision could
be carried only to the Emperor, the
encouragement having no authority
to intervene in such cases.
After some discussion he agreed to
call the military governor on the tel
ephpne and learn whether he had al
ready ratified the sentence and wheth-
er there was any chance for clemency.
Pisa Denied
He returned in about half an hour
and stated that he had been TO corner

Of Miss Cavell only after mature de-
liberation, that the circumstances IN
her case were of such a character that
he considered the infection OF the
death penalty imperative and that he
must decline to accept your plea Tor
clemency or any representation in re-
gard to the matter.

to prevail upon him to keep It. He
was very insistent, however. and ! n

contents there was nothing to be gain
