 THE FRANK CASE

New York, June 29.-Former Governor John M. Slaton of Georgia declared in a statement here tonight that the good people of Georgia" approved his action in committing the death sentence of Leo NJ Frank to life term in the peniten- tiary. Only the mob caused him any trouble. he said. He added that time would show the right and wrong in the Frank case.
 MT. Slaton, who was accompanied by his wife, arrived here tonight He will spend few days in the Adirondacks and will leave next week for San Francisco. He expects to return to Atlanta on Sep tember 1.
 'It is untrue that I was caused any serious inconvenience by the demonstra- tions In Atlanta, Mir. Slaton asserted. "I attended to my duties there as usual l practiced law in Atlanta for 2S years be- fore I became governor and I will prac- tice there again next fa1l'

London. June 29.-t1o:42 ?. mD Driven hack over their own frontier north of Lemberg and forced to cross the river Gnila Lipa. in southeast Gnlicia, the Russian armies continue to retreat before the Austro-Germans along a front of approximately $50 miles.
 Berlin records progress in virtually the entire southeastern theatre, ai- though violent fighting still Is in prog ress beyond the GniIa Lipa. which joins the Dniester at Halicz.
 Having forced a passage of this stream General Von Linsingen's army is presumably astride the railway run ming from Halicz to Lemberg and Stanislau, and now doubtless is aiming at the line which runs from Lemberg to Odessa through Tarnopol.
 It seems evident that Germany is bent on further punishment for the Russions before relaxing the intensity of her Galician campaign, but with the Rus sians across the frontier, the Germans will have to rely almost solely on road transport and their advance will be slower
 British Hopeful
 The British press still voices the hope that the Russians soon will find tena- ble line and deliver a counter blow, but there is a note of anxiety ii1 nearls all the accounts. together with the warning that either the capture of Warsaw or the seizure of the great railway lines which supply it would be disastrous to Russia. and surely would be followed by another general German offensive in the west.
 Notwithstanding the French attacks around Arras if is argued that the Germans must feel comparatively se- cure in the west. else they would not have risked their tremendous envelop- ing move against the Russians. The French are persisting in their assaults in the neighborhood of Arras, but witt out appreeiable change in the situation.

MOSS TAKES STAND
 IN "CRIBBING" PROBE

Annapolis, Md. June 29.-Midshipman James E. Moss of the former third cla ss at the United States Naval academy, whose distribution of information con tained in papers he claimed to have re- ceived from anonymous sources, and which the academy authorities charge were stolen examination papers. led to Superintendent Fullams recommends tion that Moss and six other midshpmen be dismissed was a witness today before the court of inquiry investigating the matter.
 Moss said he received five papers re- lating to the subjests of spanish and French in a plain envelope which had been dropped in mail box at the acad- emy and delivered to him. He did not expect they were examinations to be given. he said. but thought they might have been sent by some friend with the idea that they would be helpful
 Moss said no midshipman who had seen the papers gave him any intmation that he thought they were advance copies of examinations However. in response to a question by the judge advocate the witness said the papers appeared to be examinations, and so far as he knew were not old examinations.
 On one occasion. Moss declared. past examinations in mathematics, with the problems worked out for him, had been sent to him by Instructor King of the department of mathematics. The witness said his father. Robert Moss. of counsel for the defendant midshipmen, recently had received from King an affidavit set ting forth that the instructor had mailed such examinations to the midshipman. Ar envelope was put in evidence which Moss said was addressed in Instructor King s Handwriting and had contained the math- ematics papers

Berlin. June 2a-tvia London 9,45 D. m.)-How Gen. von Linsingen's troops under almost Impossible cop.Ii- dons forced passage across the pnfester river near Bukasxowice in Gniicia and drove back the desperately battling Russians along a front several Is told by Richard Schott. n corrc- spondent of the Tages Zeitung.
 The Germans. the writer says had to ford the deep. swift river under merci 'ess sharpshooter and machine gun fire storm abrupt clay cliffs, then charge for mile across open meadows against the Rus sians, who were ensconced in the deep wooded heights After days of fighting the Germans had the Russians in flight and had captured thousands .,f them.
 Attack Begins
 "On the night of June 25.' the corre- spondent says, the attack began along broad front in the neighborhood of Bukaszowice, northwest of Kalusz, which was executed under enormous difficulties by Wurttemburgers and East and West Prussian troops. The country at this point offers unusual advantages for de- fense. The high wooded land along the south bank drops off abruptly to the vari- ous arms of the river, which is swift and deep.
 The northern shore is composed of vertical clay banks, several yards high, then come open meadows a mile broad, shut in by thickly wooded heights from which the enemy operated machine guns and cannon with all too great accuracy The position appeared untakable, as the river crossing had to be made under a deadly fire
 "The German troops crossed in the darkness. Fog from the meadows came to their aid and before daybreak the first lines were on the opposite bank of the stream and had begun m advance toward he woods.
 Cheek Part of Attack
 Our opponents were able to check the attack only at the steepest river bank. One West Prussan regiment had io stand all day breast deep in water. A soldier in order to shoot had to be lifted out of the waters by others. Even these diff cuties were overcome, howe, CT, ana not withstanding 1fianking fire, this troop emerged and finally reached and stormsd the enemys chief position.
 With deliberation and calnness as if on the parade ground the gigantic mpve- ment made progress until the city of Bukaszowice and its suburbs, occupied by the best Russian troops and Finnish shap- shooters, were taken and the Russians soon were retreating along the entire line.
 The Germans immediately fortified the heights beyond the meadows against coun- ter attacks from the dispossessed Rus sidns. Our troops are in excellent condi- tion despite their exertions and the expos ure they have undergone"

[ ONDOA PAPERS
ASK WHAT WILL
AMERICANS DO?
Germany's Reply Is Chief
Topic Discussed In
Great Britain.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, July 10.-The German re-
ply to the American note, the sum-
mary of which appears in London
afternoon papers, is the subject of
general discussion throughout Eng
land. Again the question asked is:
''What will America dot"
The views held here are indicated
by the newspaper headings which de-
scribe the reply as: Gan amazing
Offer" 'timpudent claims" 'shypocrit-
ical reply"
The text of the German reply is
published in the Sunday morning pa
pers. Most of them treat it as the
most important news of the day.
a Outside this the public continues in
terested in the huge war loan, sub
scriptions on which are still being re-
ceived by mail. The chancellor Of the
exchequer expressed his satisfaction.
The general expectation today was
the total would reach between three
billion and three billion, five hundred
thousand dollars. Some expressed
confidence, the full five billion dollars
would be received and it would not
be necessary to continue to sell small
subscribers through the postofice.
There is little news from Southern
Poland, where the Russians claim to
be delivering smashing blows at the
Austrians. Apparently General Mac
kensen, who is covering the Austrian
right between the Krasnik region and
Bug river has been unable to render
any assistance, or has withdrawn his
forces for an attack elsewhere.
Some believe the next German
stroke will be frontal one on the
Warsaw, despite the Teuton's failure
on two previous times to break the
Russian front on the Bzura and Raw
ka rivers. Others think they are
waiting the arrival Of guns to make
another thrust toward the Lublin rail-
way.
Fighting elsewhere shows both
sides are alive to the necessity of
watching for surprises.
Trench warfare continues in the
west. 0ficial statements indicate no
change IN the situation.

the Italians have won six-day battle
on the Corso plateau and took sew
