RECAPTURE PRZEMYsL
Central Allies Now Expected to Push
AGAINST Capftal-Itaiians ClaiIAA
Progress.

London, June 3.-With the capture
of Przemysl accomplished early to-
day, tie Austro-German armies
achieved the main object of their
thrust commenced against the Rus
SLAMS in western Galicia month ago
today.
They have yet to drive the Rus
slams farther back and establish
themselves in easily defended posi-
ton which will enable them to de-
tach forces for operations against
Italy and tne allies in the west.
Whether or not they accomplish
t.. is, the Teutonic allies have won a
great victory and with suddenness
which oversnadows all past operations
of the war. 1t was only 10 weeks ago
that Przemysl fell to the Russians
after a six months investment, which
was interrupted for a short time in
November by an Austrian advance.
With the surrender of the fortress,
there fell into Russian hands, ac-
cording to official reports 100000
Austrians and 900 guns and an i'm
mense amount of war material. Most
of the forts, however, mad been de-
stroyed by the Austrians, and this is
considered in military circles here to
account for the fact that the fortress
succumbed so quickly to the Austro-
German attack.
The Great New Drive.
When the Russians captured Pre-
mysl, they were pressing the Aus

Then on May came the news of a

and carrying 1000 guns, the Teutons
compelled the Russians to fall back
until the Russian line ran to the

vicinity of Nord1ind 1ightship. The
German aviator was forced to con-
slider the vessel as hostile because it
carried no flag and further because of
no recognizable neutral markings.
The attack of four bombs, was of
course, not aimed at any American
shin.
However, that the ship attacked

possible, considering the time and
place of occurrence. Nevert- eless

MONEY AVAILABLE FOR MILITIA
Garrison Rules That $4,000 Charged
Against South Carolina May
Be Used.

Washington, June 4.-Nearly $40,-
900 is made available for the rehabi-
litation of the National Guard OF
South Carolina as result of a con-
ference held here today between Gov.
Manning, Adjt. Gen. Moore and Sec
retary of War Garrison. In addition
to this amount the regular annual ap-
preparation of $4,000 will be ready
for use July 1.
The State officials came here I'd
ask that the money charged to South
Carolina as a result of the loss and
destruction of army equipment during
previous administrations be RENTED.
At first the officials declared it could
not be done. Later, however, Secre-
tary Garrison ruled that approx
mately $4,000 charged against tie
State Guard for the loss of property
could be used until July 1, 1916.
In making this ruling the secretary
places South Carolina on par with
other States that have failed to live
up to the standard required by the
department.
Senator Tillman accompanied the
governor and Gen. Moore to the de-
partment. He asked Gen. Mills, head
of the militia affairs department, to
forget what former governors mad
done in South Carolina and to give
the States National Guard chance
to make itself efficient.
Both Governor Manning and Gen.
Moore were immensely pleased with
the result of their visit. They ac-
complished everything they desired,
they declared.

ATTACK UPON GULFLIGHT
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT
Germany Disclaims Intention to Mo-
lest American VesSel-Offers 10
Pay for Damage.

Washington, June 4.-Germany, in
a note cabled to the state department
today by Ambassador Gerard at Ber-
lin, expressed regrets that through
'.an unfortunate accident" a German
submarine had torpedoed tie Ameri-
can steamer Gulfight, and declared
itself ready to furnish full recon-
pense for the damage thereby sus-
tained by American citizens"
In the same communication the
German foreign Office said it had not
been possible to clear up fully the
case of the American steamer Cus'l-
ing, reported attacked by a German
aeroplane, and asked that the United
States communicate all information in
its possession concerning this Incl
dent.
Blame for the attack on the Gulf
hg-t was placed by the foreign Office
upon the proximity of two British
patrol boats and the absence from the
steamers freeboard of the distinctive
markings usually carried by neutral
ships. "That the attacked steamer
carried the American fag," the note
added, ''was first observed at the mo-
ment of firing the shot
The GuIfight was torpedoed in the
English. channel five weeks ago while
carrying oil from Port Arthur, Texas,
for Rouen, France. She was towed
to Crows Sound and beached for re
pairs. Two seamen were drowned
when the crew took to the boats and
the captain died of heart trouble the
next day. The expression Of regret
and offer of reparation are in con-
formity with the principle outlined in
a circular Germany recently sent to
neutral nations disclaiming intention
of attacking neutral vessels carrying
noncontraband.
The text of the note, signed by the
minister of foreign affairs, reads:
referring to the note of May %,
Bae undersigned has the honor to in
form his excellency, the ambassador
of the United States of America, Mr..
James W. Gerard, tnat the examina-
tion undertaken on the part of the
German government concerning the

NOTICE OF ELECTION IN OLD

Whereas, one-third of the resident

they formed a regulation safeguard
against submarines; moreover, one of
l1em had a wireless apparatus, which
is not usual with small vessels
From this ii evidently was a case
of English conToy vessels. Since
sucl vessels are regularly armed, the
submarine could not approach the
steamer on the surface of the water
without running the danger of de-
struction. 1t was, on the whole, to
be assumed tat the steamer was of
considerable value to the British gov
ernment since it was so guarded. The
commander could see no neutral
markings on it of any kind-that is,
distinctive marks painted on the free
board recognizable at distance such
as are now usual on neutral ships in
the English zone of naval warfare.
In consequence he arrived at the con-
clusion from all the circumstances
that he had to deal with an Englisl
steamer, submerged and attacked.
The torpedo came in the immediate
neighborhood of one Of the convoy
ships, which at once rapidly ap-
preached the point of firing so that
the submarine was forced to go to a
great depth to avoid being rammed;
the conclusion of the commander that
it was an English convoy was in this
way confirmed.
Then Saw Flag.
That the attacked steamer carried
the American flag was first observed
at the moment of firing the shot.
"The fact tnat the steamship was
pursuing course which led neither
to nor from America was a further
reason why it did not occur to the
commander of the submarine that he
was dealing with an American steam
ship.
Upon scrutiny of the time and
place of the occurrence, the German
government has become convinced
tnat the attacked steamship was &C
tually the American steamship Gul-
fight. There can be no doubt, ac-
cording to the attendant circumstanc-
es, that the attack is to be attributed
to an unfortunate accident and not to
the fault of the commander.
sThe German government expresses
its regrets to the government of the
United States concerning this Incl
dent and declares itself ready to fur
nish full recompense for the damage
thereby sustained by American citi-
zens. 1t is left to the discretion OF
American government to present
statement of t1is damage or if doubts
may arise over individual points, to
designate an expert who would have
to determine, together with Ger
man expert, the amount of the dam

SPECTACULAR REVIVAL
OF SILVER KING" PLANNED

old melodrama, THE Silver King" will
be made by the Messrs. Shuoert and
William A. Brady shortly.
THE Silver King was the play which
brought Henry Arthur Jones into prom
inence as a dramatist. 1t was produced
in London by Wilson Barrett some TWEEN
ty-five years ago with a distinguished
cast which included E. 8. Willard. II
was used in this country for years by
the late Frank c. Bangs.
While Henry Arthur Jones has writ
ten more than a score Of plays since
The Silver King" and has departed
from the melodramatic style which
marked the latter. 1t is doubtful II any
two of his subsequent plays achieved
its popularity.
A great revival of The Silver King
was made in London lsat spring at the
express request of King George. Among
those in the cast at that time were Beer
