that the Russians also were looking for
 ward to long siege. A correspondent
 of the vossische zeitung says they had
 brought endorsements from Lemberg
 and heavy artillery and ammunition from
 Lubhn over the new strategic railroad
 Ivangorod and Brest-Iitovak also were
 called upon to supply needed materials
 and everything was rushed In and set up
 with feverish haste. The middle forts
 were used to this end and the Jewish
 ropulatio was compelled to evacuate the city. Siege operations on the part of the
 Austrian and German forces were neces- sary because the Russians. during their
 two months occupation. had in a measure
 restored the fertilization.
 Attack Renewed The Vossische Zeltungs correspondent says the artillery attack reached its cli- max Sunday. when the forts were literally sprayed with shells. The mo- ment the German commanders noticed slackening of the Russian fire, storming operations were begun.
 The Russians defended themselves un- til the last moment. They bad no time to rescue any guns or material No de- tails are as vet available as to the ma terial captured or, number of men take1 prisoner.
 In an editorial the Vosslsche Zeitung ueeidfeS tht hussidh HieHdce III AusiIid- Hungary has been broken forever. and that Russia has been deprived of its dear est wish. possession of Galicia, which was to have become a new Russia. | The Lokal Anzeiger publish a special dispatch that the Russian lines on the eastern and southeastern sides of Prze- mysl, in the direction of Medyka and Siedliska have not yet been passed. It claims that the Russians are using re- serves advanced in years and youths of l the 1917 class throughout all Galicia in their desperate attempts to get a breath | Ing spell. The Russians still are fighting stubbornly south of the Dniester and along the banks of the River San. 1 The Morgen Post says this victory shows that the strength of the Austria Germans has not been broken and cannot | be broken.

WILSON ASKS GER
MANY TO Al COUNT
FOR LOSS OF LIFE
Emphatic Note Sent BY Pres
ident 10 Kaiser Anent
Great Sea Tragedy
Sacrifice Of Life on LusitanIa Held to
BE Wholly Without
justification.

Washington, May H.. The United
States government, In a note to Ger
many today, formally demands 0f the
I imperial government a strict account
ing for the loss OF American livcs in
the sinking Of the Lusiantia and VIC
laions of American rights In the war
zone. 1t also asks guarantees that.
there will be no repetition OF such
events or practices.
With the plain intimation In 1t that
the United States Is prepared to meet
any eventuality that may arise from
noncompliance, the communication, !,
lphrased In Enthusiastically emphatic
lilanguage lis being prepared to be-
cabled to Berlin by nightfall
Makes Brief Announcement
| The White House ofIicially am
nounced the fact that the president
had finally determined the course of
action to be pursued in the follow
ing statement issued by Secretary
IsfmtnnIty. after q conference with The
president:: 3ss
seThe course or the president has
been determined 1t will lie announe-l
ed just as soon as ii is proper to
publish the note now Id preparation. !.
/ The note is not lengthy document
! It has been written by the president
himself after full and final deter
mination of his policy. 1t Is describ-
ed ais strong and yirile, without quih-
BILE or hint OF parley. II viii recite
the horror and resentment Of the I'm
| tied States against the acts Of naval
| warfare committed by Germany and
will be blunt notice to- that conn-s
! try that the "strict accountability
warning was not an empty decIar-
alton.
May Be First Step.
| The note has been prepared by the
president in full realization Of the.
fact that 1t may be the first step In
| breaking off diplomatic relations with
/ Germany. There Is no strong hope
| I'm Washington that Germany will ac-
cede to the emands OF the United
States. Nothing but the furnishing.
| of sufficient guarantees against fus.
ture outrages against Americans will
! satisfy the administration. Failure;
to supply them will bring rupture
\ of official intercourse.
Predict Recall Of Gerard.
The prediction Is being freely made
in Washington that not many weeks
| will elapse before Ambassador Ger
ard is called home and Ambassador
Won Bernstorff given his passports,
| based on the assumption that Ger
many will not comply with American
demands.
4 As for reparation, the United
States naturally will seek financial
| reparation, but its protest now is in
the name Of international law and
humanity tc obtain guarantee that
such tragedies will not be repeated
and the lives OF noncombatants sac
rifced.
