Ambassador Gerard at Berlin today
notified h state department o. the de-
livery OF the American note to the Ger
man foreign office. It was the first of
hcial notification that the note q ar
rived at Its destination, although it,
delivery had been reported In news dis
patches. sSe
Dumba Calls on Bryan.
DR.. Constantine Dumba, the sAustrf-
an ambassador. had q long conference
today with Secretary Bryan arid other
ambassador would not discuss the b
ject OF his call, the impression pre-
vailed in well informed circles chat he
had endeavored to sound out feeling
with q view toward aEsisting In {
peaceful settlement OF the situation
with Germany.
It is known That the Austrian m
bassador and Count Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, have been In close
consultation for several days, and that
the course Of events between the
United States n her ally, throwing
her influence In the direction OF pre-
venting any rupture In friendly rela-
tions.
The seriousness Of the sinking OF the
Lusitania, the intense feeling 1t has
aroused in h United States, and the
country wide support which has been
given to President Wilson's note ara
facts which both the Austrian and
German ambassadors are understood to
have communicated to their respective
governments. 1t was believed also that
they had cautioned extreme care for
the present at least In the submarine
warfare to avoid any act which would
further intensity feeling in the United
States.
That the United States is standing
firmly on the absolute Justice, both
from a legal and q humane point OF
view OF Its position, m therefore has
nothing to arbitrate, was the interpre-
tation which many officials gave as the
would offer to arbitrate the questions
raised in the American note.

crowds along the way cheered with en-
thusiasm. Entering the hotel, he was
given another round of cheers by a
crowd in the lobby.
The Mayflower's arrival in New York
harbor last night, instead of this norm
ing, as planned, was explained today.
The yacht ran into a storm off the
New Jersey coast yesterday. Nearly
every n in the presidents party be-
came seasick, the chief sufferers being
Secretory Tumulty n Charles L.
Sven, the presidents stenographer
voyage less h other members of the
party, but did not feel very well, he
said.
Before going to luncheon the presi-
dent received Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commanding the department Of the
east, Admiral Fletcher, and the rank
ing officers of the Atlantic fleet, who
were in full uniform, and Cornelius
Vanderbilt, chairman of the citizens
committee.
In his room the president received a
number of kilograms from Washington
relating to the foreign situation. 1t
was said they contained nothing re-
curing his immediate attention.
There We're about 500 guests at the
luncheon, which was held on the 10th
floor of the building. Among those at
the table with the president were: Sec
rotary Daniels, Secretary Redield, Ad-
miral Fletcher, Major General Wood,
Rear Admiral Usher, Rear Admiral
Benson and Joseph H. Choate.
Two woman suffragists eluded the
heavy guard stationed in the hotel and
succeeded in reaching the floor where
the president was at luncheon. They
managed to see Secretary Tumulty and
gave him a letter to be delivered to
the president.
Mr.. Tumulty was walking away
from the door, n of the women ex-
claimed:
Mr.. Wilson is the greatest little
evader I know"
MIR. Tumulty told the women they
were impolite and would receive no
answer to the letter. The letter was
written on stationery of the national
executive committee of the Congress
sional Union for Woman Suffrage, and
appealed to the president for his pow
erful aid to remove the political dis
abilities of women"
The women went to the lobby and
waited. They told reporters it would
be useless for the president to attempt
to elude them.
"1f necessary, We'll hire a tug and &C
out to the Mayflower to see him. one
of them said.
where the luncheon was held the two
women, who had returned, stepped out
of an ante-room and, confronting him
exclaimed:
"Votes for women! Votes for women,
Mr.. President, we have a message fol
You" They got no further in thei,
appeal. Four secret service men seizeC
them quickly and took them away
The president smiled.

P~etrograd. May 16, delayed by
storms)-The Russian general staff,
explaining the change in the Galician
campaign from a successful advance to
a retreat. gave out the following to-
day:
From the middle Of April news be-
gar to reach us of the transport of
great numbers of Germans from the
western ron and their concentration
in western Galicia. The state or af-
fairs thus created forced us to stop the
rection of MeZclaborcz and UZsok, in
order to insure ourselves facilities for
sending reserves to the threatened Sec
tors of u front.
Third Army Forced Back.
However, tho forces which the en-
envy threw against our front We're SO
considerable that our third army was
unable to check the pressure on the
Cenjnovitz-Corlitza sector. The result
was desperate and uninterrupted fight
ing with momentous counter attacks,
which prevented the enemy from break
ing our 'front.'. The enemy's action was
reduced to frontal attacks on the posi-
lions of the Third army, which he oc-
cupied in succession.
THE enthusiasm of our troops en-
abled them to maintain perfect order,
cope with the difficult problems of the
battle n inflict enormous losses upon
the enemy.
"On May IA. the whole third army
deployed on the San and in conformity
with this fact, we were obliged to make
Heterogeneous which were already

armies to unite their fronts.

"On May Ia our long range batteries
at Przemysl dispersed a column of thu

Austrian Army Routed.
The Austrian army, defeated on tn,

"On the same day our troops carried

BIC DENT FORCED
IN GERMAN LINES
Operations Now in Progress on
West Front Most Import
ant of Any Since
Last Fall.

Paris, (via London), May IL
British troops, continuing their
drive at the German line near La
Bassee, have captured another Sc
ries Of trenches at Richebourg-
L'Avoue. They took $50 prisoners.
London, May 18.-Another sudden
thrust al the German line-this time
north of La Bassee has been made by
the allies. and according to French and
British official reports has been at
tended with conspicuous success. The
claim of the British that the German
line was broker down over the greater
part of a two-mile section is disputed
however, by the German war office
which says all attacks of the allies We're
repulsed. The operations now in pro-
gresS are characterized as the most
important of any since last fall.
Field Marshal Sir John French has
broken his silence in regard to the
movements of the British army north
west of LaBassee with the announce
ment of an advance of nearly a mile in
to the German line. This, together with
the continuance of the French thrusts
both north of Ypres and southwest of
La Basse constitutes the outstanding
feature of the military situation today.
Military commentators here regard
the British advance as a genuine break
pf the German line, which if maintained
must mean a retreat for a considerable
section of the invaders forces.
Recapture Of the bridge over the
User canal at Steenstraete by the
French deprives the Germans of their
last connection with the west side of
the waterway. German assaults on the
British position at Ypres seem to have
spent themselves at least for a moment
as Field Marshal French reports all has
been quiet there for the past 4S hours.
STILL FURTHER GAINS

Paris, May 1.-THE French war Of
Ace this afternoon issued the follow
ing statement on the progress of hos
t%ilities:
'In the region Of Het Sas we have

same time 145 prisoners and captur-
ing four machine guns. A counter at

Under Shelter Of PrzemysI Guns
Russians Pause and Turn
Upon Foes.
SEVERE DEFEAT ADMITTED
Reorganized Army on Offensive
Gar Robbed of Fruits of
Winter Campaign.

London. May i8.-Official reports
from Petrograd do little to minim-
ize the severity of the defeat which
the Russians have experienced over
practically the whole line from cen
trail Poland to the Carpathians.
The victorious Germanic armies
have robbed the Russians OF most
of the gains of the hard winter
and early spring campaign with the
exception of Przemysl which is
closely threatened on two sides by
hostile forces. In the latest Petro-
grad communication there is a
suggestion that the Russians are
crouched behind the river San in
readiness for one of those sudden
movements such as previously have
turned defeat into victory for them.
1t is evident that the Austro-Ger-
mar forces will leaving nothing
undone in the attempt to force a
crossing of the, San. The Russians
admit the loss of so guns during
the retreat of their third army to
the San, but assert that most of
them were destroyed.
