struction commenced by the British
gunners.
The only incident of moment ia the
other war theaGers is a fresh Aus
trian report of a great artillery bonn
bardment b the Italians in the Izonso
front. This may mean that the long
inactivity of General Cadorna is about
to be broken. The Italian situation
has been wrapped in considerable OBJ
security and there have been uncom-
Portable rumors that the chaos in
Russia was inspiring the Central
Powers to mass forces for a great
drive against Italy. These rumors
have been somewhat offset by the ac-
cumulating evidence that Austria is
seeking in every direction a path of
peace and is willing to make great
concessions toward that end.
Fight Chancellor
In this connection the announced
visit of Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg to Vienna assumes consider
able Importance The fury of the
German punkers against the Austrian
attitude is obviously increased by
their conviction that the chancellor
has gone over to the moderate party
with its program of peace without an .
neXation or indemnity. There seems
little doubt that the demand for peace
Is steadily growing in volume in Ger
many and the hysteria of the junkers
as displayed through their newspapers
and through the utterances of their
leaders is significant in this respect

German Army Loses
Heart at Reverses;
Mass Attacks Fail

British Headquarters in France
May ii. via London-From a STAFF
Correspondent of the Associated Press.
British troops have just about COM
pleted the absorption of two impor-
tant villages to which the Germans
have clung desperately ever since the
battle of Arras began. One of these
villages is RoeuX, on the north bank
of the Scarpe, and the other is Bulle-
court, which lies directly in the Hin
denburS line, Just to the west of
Queant.
AS a result of steady fighting dur
ing the last forty-eight hours the
Germans foothold in Bullecourt has
been reduced to two isolated posts.
where bombing fights are continuing.
virtually similar situation exists in
RoeuX.
1T is probable the German govern
ment will declare this news "a pure
invention" says the correspondent,
nevertheless l can affirm that my in
formation is accurate"
Since the British victory on Satur-
day the German counter-attacks have
lacked much of their recent fierce
ness. The number of prisoners taken
during this time has been exception
ally large for the character of the
operations and the number OF troops
involved.
These may merely be coincidents,
or 1t may be that the Germans have
become tired of sending so many of
their troops to their death in massed
formation. The German soldiers have
been fighting very stoutly since re-
serves were thrown into the Arras
area.
The heat wave in the fighting dis
trict has been temporarily broken by
a series Of thunderstorms.

this afternoon nothing developed at
political conferences here with re-
gard to the date for ending the pres

change the opinion of legislators
that final adjournment will take
place about June IA. Senator Pen

others and afterward said he ex-

would come up IN Harrisburg to-
night. Because of the war, the SEN

ment, and added that the leaders

bers to decide. Senator Penrose will

Baltimore Turns Out to
Honor French War Mission
By Associated Press

Baltimore. May 14.-Rene Viviani,
Marshal Joffre and the remaining
members of the French war mission,
spent an hour in Baltimore to-day

about half an hour apart the distin.

Maryland troops through the main
streets of the city to city hall where
they were presented wnh the free
dom of the city by Mayor James II.

yesterday that the mission would
visit Baltimore. the streets were
lined with cheering crowds. From
city hall the guests were taken TO
Vernon Square where they were for
mally introduced to the people of
Baltimore.
