CLARK GETS
NEW TRIAL
Court of Appeals ReverSeS
Christian Circuit
Court.
ON QUESTION OF HER AGE.
News Received Yesterday in a
Telegram To Attorney c.
H. Bush.

The Court of Appeals yesterday
rendered a decision reversing Chris
tian Circuit Court in the case of
Capt. E. W. Clark, who was given a
sentence Of 10 years in March, on "a
judgment convicting him of a viola
ton of consent law.
The prosecuting witness was Miss
Alberta Mitchell and the decision
turned on whether Miss Mitchell was
born March %, 1897 or March %,
1898.
The family Bible, the school CEN
sus and the school records from 1903
to 1912 all showed her age to be 18
on March %, 1915. Her mother
swore the Bible record was wrong
and that the other records were
based on that before the error was
discovered. If born in 1898 Miss
Mitchell would have entered school
before she was 6 years old and her
younger brother, born two years
later, would have done the same, as
he entered in 1905,
The court accepted the dOcumen-
tary evidence as conclusive.
Capt. Clark has been in Jail since
his conviction. Under the law he will
now be entitled to give bail until the
case is finally disposed of.

Russians May Soon Be Forced
Out by Advancing
TeutOnS.
GREAT BLOW AT ITALY NEXT.
England Prepares For Long
Siege Operations in the
DardanelleS.

London, June 16.-The Austro-
German rush in Galicia is on again.
Both Berlin and Vienna claim prog
ress along virtually the entire SOUTH
eastern front and Lemberg again
appears to be in danger.
Mosciska, east of Przemysl, has
been captured by the Austro-Ger~
mans, and according to the German
contention, the Russians are falling
back south of the railroad connect
ing Przemysl and Lemberg. ALI
Russian counter attacks have been
repulsed with gains for the Teutons
from a point north of Przemysl into
Bessarabia, the German say.
Far off as this front is from Eng
land and France, it is being watched
more closely than the western front
because it would appear that these
operations are being pressed in an
attempt to clear Galicia of the Rus
slams preparatory to breathing
spell in the east, which is likely to
be followed by the crushing blow
aimed at Italy.
The fighting is growing harder
daily along the Austro Italian from
tier, and in view of past perform
ances, it is considered reasonable to.
assume that Germany will throw a
great mass of troops on this front
and endeavor to sweep into ltalyS
and hold ground there just as she
has done in Poland, Belgium. and
France.
Of the fighting in France around
Arras, the German and French 9TH
cial communications fatty contra
dict each other. On the whole. it is
believed, here the advantage has
been with the French.
That England is prepared for long
siege operations in the Dardanelies is
, indicated in an official statesaent just
, issued, explaining the nature OF the
tedious trench warfare, altho rgh
ascertaining that the Turkish Offer
sive is not so sharp as it was former
ly.

The allied air raid on karlsruhe re-
resulted in considerable damage, al
