Paris, May IL, 1923 p. b.-The fol-
towing official communication was is

1.-THE fighting to the north of Arras
continues with exereme violence. Dur
ing the course of last night the enemy
reinforced delivered several counter
attacks. which, were without result

COMPLIANCE BY GERMANY
\ WOULD NOT BE SURPRISING.
americans Have Not Been Advised TO
Leave Germany

Washington, May 13-Some inter-
national lawyers and diplomats who
have followed closely Germany's
course since beginning the submarine
warfare were of the opinion that a
compliance by Germany with the terms
of the American note would not be
surprising and even that such a
course would not be a. departure from
previous expressions. Germany has
maintained it was contended, that the
submarine activity was begun only be-
cause England would not permit food
Stufts and conditional contraband des-
tined to civilians to reach Germany
and Eecause the neutrals by their pro-
rest have been powerless to effect an
adherence to the rules of international
law by the allies in questions of con-
fraband. Should Germany announce
her intentions to abandon submarine
warfare, it was belieyed by some dip
somats she would not necessarily
make a stipulation but would state her
expectations that the United States
as the greatest neutral would secure
equal Guarantees from the allies on
questions of contraband.
In the event that Germany took the
opposite course and refused to COM
ply with the wishes of the United
states high officials declined to predict
what steps would be taken beyond in
u1cating that the Washington govern
nent would deal with each develop
ment in the situation as it arose.
Reports that Americans had been
advised to leave Germany on account
Of the critical state of relations with
the United States were declared to be
wholly unfornued by officials.

GERMANS HARD PRESSED
IN DIRECTION OF MITAU.
Russian Strategic Position in Shawl
More Clearly Defined.

London, May 13. 2.27 a. m.-Reuters
Petrograd correspondent sends an
official communication issued by the
Russian war ojce which says:
"As a result of the German defeat
in the direction of Mitau and Rossi-
ency our strategic position in SlavIi
is becoming more clearly defined
THE Germans, being hard pressed
in the direction of Mitau, Pomieverge
and Kovno, decided upon the desper-
ate expediency of delivering decisive
offensive in the Shawl distrivct. Hav-
ing simultaneously occupied the rail-
way station of Jeymy on the same
day, May 8, our calvary came in con-
contact with Bavarian cavalry, which
it put to disorderly flight. 1t came
up with the fleeing Bavarians at mid
day the ninth, near Krakinwve, aft
er covering a distance exceeding flf-
ty versts Ga verst is two thirds of
a mile) and fighting two engagements.
1.-The defeat of the German raid on
our rear will necessarily affect the
programme of the operations in the
Shawl district. The enemy's defeat
at Jeyny encourages the belief that
he will shortly receive still further
reinforcements in the Shawl district
The presence there of a regiment of
the Prussian guard would seem to in
dicate that a whole corps of the guard
will be transferred from Alsace to this
'front.'

NO MORE INQUESTs
ON LUSITANIA VICTIMS.
Fishing Boat Sighted 100 Bodies of
the Coast of Cork.

Queenstown, May 12-Lord VIM
borne, lord lieutenant of Ireland, is
sued an order in Dublin tonight that
hereafter any bodies of persons
drowned on board the Lusitania found
along the Irish coast shall be brought
direct to Queenstown without the for
mality of an inquest. In small bodies
where they might happen to be landed.
This order. it is believed here, should
greatly expediate the Identification of
many bodies which it is expected will
yet be found
A fishing boat reported tonight hav-
ing sighted no less than 100 bodies
floating ten miles south of Glandore,
on the southwest coast of County
Cork, a fact which upsets the conten-
ton that the current, wind and tides
had so scattered the bodies of victims
as to make the recovery of any con-
siderable number of them questionable.
The news of the sighting of these
bodies was conveyed to Webb Ware,
secretary Of Alfred Gwynne Wander
bilt, who has been most vigilant in
his search for Mr.. Vanderbilt's body
and in urging that no effort be spared
to find the dead body before it was too
late.
Rain fell nearly all day in Queens
town, making more dismal the work of
identifying the bodies in the morgue
and placing them in coffins. Among
the twenty one bodies here today
there were no prominent Americans.

MOVEMENT TOWARD LASTING
PEACE AMONG WORLD POWERS.
Launched at the Opening of the World
Court of Congress.

C1eve Gland, Ohio, May 12:-With the
opening of the world court congress,
a movement was formally launched to-
day which it's advocates claim is the
greatest advance yet taken toward
lasting peace among the world pow
ers
Prominent men from all over the
country. including William H. Taft,
Alton B. Parker, Henry Clews and
many others, were present, giving as
surauce, Mayor Newton B. Baker said
in his welcoming address that
the movement "is not visionary, not
Impractical" g,
The congress plans an international
court of justice founded on an agree
mert to which all the great powers
would be signatory. All signatory ma
tions would submit their disputes to
the court. One not so doing would be
subjected to the combined pressure
of the others. Each speaker at the
opening session dwelt on the stable
character of the congress plan
This body is not so foolish as to
conceive that war will be made impos-
sible by such a court" said John Hays
Hammond, chairman, in an address
opening the deliberations. What we
hope to do is to minimize the possi-
bilities of war"
Former President Taft said:
"A movement like this loses force by
making claims of what it will
accomplish. But we are trying to be
practical. We are not rainbow
chasers and we are not offering a
millennium"
Mr. Taft had not been scheduled to
speak at the afternoon session, but
yielded to demands from the audience
that he do so.
Judge Alton B. Parker responded
to similar appeals.
