out of the struggle with complete sue
cess
Between Auzzo and the Isonzo canal
the Italians gained ground on q small
sector of the Isonzo, but were unable

temporary footing on Mount Guk. but
were dislodged after fierce fighting.
Earlier Italian efforts 10 conquer Monte
Stanto and Monte Gabrielle, and capture

officers. Increased artillery activity Is

BUCKET SHOP LAW IS
UPHELD BY HIGH COURT
Decision Is Rendered in APP
peal of Man Fined in
Atlanta

The Georgia law against bucket shops
is declared constitutional in a decision
handed down Thursday morning by the
state supreme court
This law, known as Section 4275 of
the civil code of 1910. makes it a mis-
demeanor to deal in futures on margins.
The decision was rendered in the case
of c. II. Arthur VS.. the State, brought
up from the criminal division of the
superior court of Fulton county.
c. n. Arthur was convicted before
Judge Ben H. Hill for dealing in flu
lures on margins and of having an Office
in Atlanta for that purpose. and was
fined 500 and costs.
He appealed for a new trial and, when
his appeal was denied. carried his case
to The supreme court on the ground
that Section 1875. under which he was
convicted, is unconstitutional.
One of his contentious was that he
dealt in futures in New York as we'll
as in Atlanta and that since his busi-
ness was not unlawful in New York It
could not constitutionally be unlawful

American teamShip Is
Sunk Four Lives LOST

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE American
steamship Hilonian has been torpedoed
and sunk off Genoa, Italy, with a loss
Of four members of the crew, according
to a cablegram received here by the
owners, the Universal Transportation
company.
The Germans have piled high their
dead before the British line but have
faile to stop the British advance. The
most furious and sustained counter at
lacks have withered before the blast of
the British artillery and the sapping of
the Hindenburg line goes on slowly but
without halt.
BRITISH STILL GAINING.
The tremendous efforts made by Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg to stem the
tide of victory which was steadily set
ting against him have given the battle
of Arrss an appearance of ebb and
flow, but the net result is that the most
violent efforts of the Germans to regain
the initiative have failed. Won linden
burg apparently used every ounce of
strength at his command to wrest from
the British the villages of Rouex and
Bullecourt and the outcome is summed
up in the almost monotonous repetition
by the British war office of the state
ment Our troops made progress in
the Hindenburg line"
Possibly more ominous for Berlin, in
view of the wabbly condition of her
Austrian ally, is the news of the great
blow struck by Italy in the direction of
Triest The Italians have opened their
spring offensive in brilliant fashion, at
lacking on a wider front and apparently
with greater forces than at any other
previous operation. The Isonzo, tur-
bulent mountain stream, bordered by
mountains and cliffs. is In their hands
for a distance of fifteen to twenty
miles north of Gorilla. General Ca
dorna appears to plan a great thanking
movement against the Corso plateau,
natures great rampant defending
Triest The operation is, however, in
too early a stage to permit judgment
Of it's exact import.
The Hilonian was not armed. She left
here April 81 for Genoa with cargo. She
was a vessel of 1921 tons gross, was
commanded by Captain H. II. Williams
and carried a crew of thirty-nine men,
Of whom eighteen were American cit:-

GERMANY DROPS
MASK AND PLANS
FOR FINISH FIGHT
Necessity for u, S, Throwing
All Her Forces Into Conflict
Seen by Americans and Cit
liens of Allies in Copenhagen

COPENHAGEN. May 17.-Germsny Is
no longer playing postum letting
hints creep out through her censorship
showing alleged popular waves for
peace and seeking to lull her enemies
into the belief she is weakening. On
the contrary. q. il war. uncompromising
and bitterly, &c the end. And Americans
here see i'm this new development the
necessity for throwing all America
weight imediately into the fray.
From this close ringside seat TO the
fight, this opinion is universal among
Americans and allied officials and citi-
zens here on German Chancellor Won
Bethmann- Hollweg's speech. Copenhagen
is closest of all neutrals to the German
side of the conflict, and less subject to
outside interferences. The Americans
and allies here regard I!ollweg's speech
as that of a leader victorious in a small
sized brush with ansagrnistic political
elements. They hold re would never
have made so Uncomprcmi>ingly curt an
address II he were not sure of his grip.
They hold the chancellor has fatty re-
fused the food of limitations from Ger
many's propaganda department that
Germany is ready to quit They hope
Hollweg's unequivocal stand for contin-
uation of the war will eradicate that
element i'm America which has coun-
selled for passive participation in the
var in the hope that Germany is getting
ready for a compromise.
Well-informed officials here interpret
the most universal approval of Holt
weg's speech. as voiced in German news
papers. as an indication that the chan
cellor has survived the political crisis
in his career. They are not by any
means sure there ever was a serious
political crisis threatening Hollweg's
political head, and that il may have
been a very clever German propa ganda
move TO spread authenticated reports of
internal disSentions. Unrest reports
from Germany might be counted on to
influence Russia as well as the United
States. Russian Socialists have already
apparently taken great stock in these
German rumoTs OF public unrest and
have announced they are working for
peace through revolution in Ger
many.
Today ii appeared that Hollweg was
as strong ever, il not stronger, and
that he would retain his strength unless
Germany,s C-bost campaign fails or
there is some other stroke against the
central powers.
Popular optimism FOR victory in Ger
many has overwhelmed the radicals and
their dissatisfaction over failure Of the
government Immediately to institute re-
forms.
