THE WAR AT A GLANCE

Fffty-eight women connected with var1- ous branches of the military nursing serv- ice and of the Red Cross are mentioned in French, commander in chief of the British army on the continent for "gallantry and distinguished service in the field
 On the Gallipoli peninsula heavy fight ing has been in progress
 From the Italian front, by way Of Ber- lin, come reports of serious reverses suf- fered by the Italians in their attempts to storm the Austrian positions along the Isonzo river. The Austrians have pow erfully fortified the south Tyrol front, and are said to be prepared in every way for an Italian attack along that line.
 For the first time since the beginning of the submarine warfare, the comman- der of a German submarine has permitted a steamer carrying foodstuffs to England to escape by jettisoning all foodstuffs on board. The Norwegian mail steamer Venus, which has arrived at Newcastle, was given the option of putting the greater part of her cargo overheard or being sent to the bottom.
 The Spanish cabinet has resigned be- recently issued by the government. The failure of this loan. it is announced in Madrid, makes it impossible to carry out the scheme for the reorganization of the army and navy.

ALLIES ATTACK AND CARRY PASSES
 IN DARDANELLES

London. June 22.-d1:45 D. m.)-"Be- tween ' and o'clock in the evening of June 19.' says an official communication from the headouarters of the Mediter- ranean expeditionary force, 'the Turks expended some 45O high explosive shells on our left and center trenches and were seen massing for an attack. The enemy s heart failed him and the attack degen- erated into a fire action.
 ''At 7:30 o'clock one of our brigades at tackled a Turkish trench, but were unsuc- cessful and the Turks in counter attacks effected a lodgment at an awkward salient captured by us on the fourth. As the brigade was unable to recover the lost trench the Fifth Royal Scots assisted by a company of the Worcester regiment, came to their help. This attack was bril- liantly carried out to a successful issue.
 "Prisoners state that the Turks expect ed that their bombardment with high ex- plosves would have cleared us out alto sether and were much disappointed at so little impression being made, though the trenches were much damaged
 "The Turkish dead are estimated at 300 in front of one brigade alone, and 1000 in all parts is low estimate"

CONTINUE ADVANCE
 AGAINST RUSSIANS
Slavs on Whole Line Are
 Reported Abandoning Territory

Austrian Headquarters, June 22.-(Via London, June 23, 1:36 a. m.)-Despite Rus sian resistance the general Austrian ad- vance in Galicia continues. The Austro- German troops have swept through the advanced Russian positions before Lem- berg and now are within artillery range of the city.
 The Russians along the whole line are abandoning as much Galician territory each day before the energetic offensive as their infantry can cover in "A hours marching. The normal rate of this ad- vance has been checked only on the lower San
 The Russians here defended the Sieni- ava positions against the assaults of Archduke Francis Joseph's army until the last possible moment and retired only when the front farther south had been broken. Their tenacity enabled the dis rupted troops to the southward to make fairly creditable retreat to the fortified lines some distance in the rear.
 As a consequence, however, big hole has been opened between the two Rus sian armies. which are now fighting sepa- rately and are unable to effect junction on this side of the Russian frontier.
 Russian prisoners explain that the com paratively small booty in artillery was due to the orders from Russien heaAs quarters to the battery comm noers ssi save the guns at all hazar6s Eattery commanders were informed 1aai they would be held personally responsible Tor the loss of every gun.

ACCUSE STUDENT OF
 STEALING PAPERS
Damaging Evidence Against Nelson in Naval Acad-
 emy Probe

Annapolis, Md, June 22-Damaging testimony was given today against Ralph NICK Nelson of Peeksxill, N Y, who stood third in the class that graduated from the Naval academy last month, and who has been recommended for dismissal by Superintendent Fullam for alleged cheating in an examination.
 Nelson was accused of having stolen papers, other than those referred to in the original charge, by Midshipman James E. Waddell called as witness today before the court of inquiry, investigating irregularities in examination papers. The witness said that on one occasion when he and Nelson had surreptitiously entered the department of marine engi- neering to look at the private card index containing their marks he saw Nelson take from a desk some sheets on which were problems to be worked out in turbine engines.
 Waddell, who was a member of the the case by the testimony yesterday of Ensign I. M. Graham, who told of revelations he claimed Waddell had made to him last week. When Graham informed Waddell he intended for ths honor of the academy to tell the court of this conversation. Waddell said. ac- cording to Graham. that if he did so. he would deny It.
 Today Waddell testified that he mad told Graham he was unwilling to go before the court of inquiry for two reasons-it would incriminate several other men and result in his dismissal Nelson had sent word to him. Waddell said. that he had heard Waddell was going to testify against him and Nell son threatened to "get him. if he did so.
 q wrote a letter to Nelson" said Waddell, ''as near as I can remember as follows: Graham wishes me to go before some sort of honor commit tee and testify against you. I will not do this because it would incriminate several others. You have nothing to fear from anything I would say, Rea- gle Keller and I have agreed to for get everything"
 Waddell told of four expeditions to the engineering department to look up his marks

 Berlin

Berlin June 22.-(via London, ii 52 p. m.l Dispatches from the Italian front report serious Italian reverses during the last four days in attempts to storm the Aus tro-Hungarian line along the Isonzo river.
 The attacks, the reports say, were pre- ceded by three days of terrific artillery bombardment The Italians then in thick lines charged repeatedly up the heights held by the Austrans. only to be moved down.
 The attacks were repeated six times in two days. The attackers left large num- bers of dead beween the lines and many wounded could be seen making their way painfully down the precipitous slopes.

With the heavy Austro-G German guns trained on Lemberg, the fall of the Cali clan capital is looked for at any time. Apparently London and Petrograd view the prospect with resignation.
 More than 100000 Austrians and Ger mans have been operating along the fronts almost encircling Lemberg. With the Russian withdrawal behind the Grodek lines, evacuation of the city as base was accomplished. That complete evacuation without much resistance Is probable, is indicated by Petrograd dis patches.
 Latest advices from Austrian headquar- assert that the two Russian armies. which for long period fought with an un- broken front, have been separated and cannot effect a junction on the Galician side of the Russian frontier.
 Russian battery commanders have been ordered to save their guns at all costs.
 Infantry attacks north of Arras, France, have ended temporarily, but there has been an artillery action of great violence in the neighborhood of Souchez and Ecurie French artillerists have located and opened fire with their heavy bat teries on a German long range gun, which had thrown 29 large shells into the town of Dunkirk in the past two days.

GORMAN SAYS HE
 WARNED COWART
Probe Committee Looking Into Affairs of Immigra-
 tiOn Department

Montgomery. June 2e.-Cspecial) Investigation into the management of the department of immigration, abol- ished at the recent session of the leg islature, was conducted by the inves- tigating committee today with the ex- animation of Examiner of Public Ac- counts ]. T. German and Mrs. Moselle Hayes Gwynn, former secretary of the depa rtment.
 Mr German testified that when he made an examination of the records of the department year ago he warned Lee Cowart commissioner, that he would get into serious trouble if he did not keep a record of receipts and disbursements dis examination was for the fiscal year beginning De- tober l, 1913, and ending September S0, 1914
 Mrs. Gwynn told the committee, over her protest that she thought the busi- ness of the office was not conducted as it should have been. She did not make this statement, however, until she mad assured the committee that she did not think it right that such a ques- ton should be answered. Mrs. Gwynn declared that she did not know of any immi grants that had been induced to , come to Alabama through the efforts of the department.
 Witness was questioned concerning the report that Mr. Cowart had been accustomed to take large quantities of stamps to Birmingham with him. She protested against the question put finally told the committee that she had come to the conclusion that it was best to keep the stamp drawer locked.
 Several other witnesses were eX-
 r,ait fno nothing of importance was brought out by their testimony.

SAYS U. s. STOPPED
 JAP ARMY FROM
 AIDING BRITISH

The Hague, June 22.-(via London. 10:4o D. m)-The Handelsblad today asserts that Japan was prevented from sending 30o,oO0 troops to Europe by an unofficial hint to Great Britain from Washington that such an expedition would be unde- sirable.
 The newspaper declares that Japanese army of that strength was landed in Man churia, where 1t was exercising prepara- tory to departure for the European bat tlefleld. but that Great Britain. after re- ceiving the intmation from the United States, informed Tokio that she was sorry, but under American pressure must request that the Japanese govern ment do nothing further concerning the dispatch of an expeditionary corps to Europe"
 After this,' the Handelsblad concludes. the Japanese army disappeared from Manchuria, probably much to the relief of Great Britain. which never has desired Japanese participation in the fighting in Europe" !"

DENY FRICTION IN
 CARRANzA RANKS
Mexican Situation Still Mud dled and Optimism
 Wains

Washington, June 22.-Denials of friction in the Carrasza ranks and of dissension among Villa leaders were reported today by the Mexican agencies here. The belief still prevailed in official quarters how ever, that the trouble between General Obregon and Carranza had not been healed and the departure of Gen. Felipe Angeles from the camp of General Villa at this time was an important military if not political loss
 General Angeles did not pass through here en route to Boston. Information Is meagre as to his plans though rumors are current that he really is In the United States to discuss with prominent Mexicans plans for the Inauguration of a new move ment that would have as it's neuclus the Villa-Zapata troops.
 According to official information Car ranza refused to take the advice of Gem erai Obregon and accepted the resigna- tions of some of the cabinet ministers whose retention was insisted upon by Ob- regon. Other advices say that Gen. Pablo Gonzales the Carranza commander marching against Mexico City, who was ordered to halt until Carranza reorgan- ized his cabinet. has gone ahead. and Is 'S'f 4'PCftS NitiliI d ltW fnlieS or the old capital. Communication behind him to Vera Cruz is cut. This development is regarded as ominous in official quarters The Carranza authorities at Vera Cruz claim the lines were cut by the Zapa- tistas. but other information received by the United States government indicates that General Gonzales cut his own com munications.
 Situation No Clearer
 President Wilson indicated to callers today that the Mexican situation did not seem to be any clearer than 1t had been, and that he was not as or timistlc as he was a week ago about possibilities of an agreement between the factions The United States has made it clear. however, that it will give every opportunity for a settlement by the factions before deciding on the second step in it's recently announced policy.
 ne departure of Rear Admiral CaL- erton and his flagship. the cruiser Washington. from Vera Cruz for Cape l Haitien today left Commander Luke McNamee on the gunboat Sacramento in command of the American naval forces on the gulf coast of Mexico Commander McNamee has five gun boats in his squadron and two more arc on the way to join him at Vera Cruz the Marietta from Boston and the Machias en route from Key West The determination of Secretary Dam iels to send Admiral Caperton and the only large warship in the gulf waters to Haiti served to set at rest reports that the admiral wanted the fleet on the Mexican coast heavily reinforced It is stated that Admiral Caperton asked for additional gunboats as the | smaller vessels are more serviceable in watching ports.
