CRACEEKS LEAD M SECOND, 5
By FREDERICK WERNER.
(Special Correspondent International
News Service.)
BERLIN (via Amsterdam), May 22.
President Wilson’s note is being care
fully studied by the German Govern-
nent. It is regarded as a friendly
message and will be answered in a
friendly spirit.
The general impression, however, is
;hat Germany will refuse to abandon
Jier submarine warfare unless Great
Britain abandons the policy which
Xims at starving Germany’s civilian
population. This may open the way
to further negotiations with the
United States as intermediary be
tween Germany and England.
It is expected that the reply to the
American note will be sent Wednes
day or Thursday of this week. A
preliminary draft probably will be
submitted to a council on Thursday.
Wilson Expected to
Oppose Arbitration
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Official
Washington to-day believes the Ger
man Government will offer to submit
the questions at issue between the
two countries to arbitration, but the
question is growing stronger that such
a proposition would not meet wi^h the
approval of President Wilson and his
advisers.
The belief Is general among officials
and diplomats that Germany will not
agree to cease her submarine warfare
against noncombtants and will urge
hat a country “too proud to fight”
should find a way to prevent the fur
nishing of arms and ammunition to
her enemies by means of passenger
6hips. The practice, Germany is ex
pected to declare, is unmoraF, and
should be stopped at once.
The belief that a suggestion of ar
bitration will be opposed by this Gov
ernment is based on the attitude taken
by President Wilson in the discussion
of the sinking by the German raider
Prinz Eitel Friedrich of the American
sailing ship William P. Frye.
Then it was v stated that this ques
tion was not one for prize courts, as
suggested by Germany, but for diplo
matic consideration. It is pointed out
that if the American Government
could not consider arbitration in prize
court in the Frye case, it could not
adopt this method of settlement in the
Lusitania case, in which the subma
rine, whose methods of attack the
President has so vigorously de
nounced, caused the destruction.
According to the view of many of
ficials, the suggestion of arbitration
has been put forward with a view to
diverting the attention of the United
States while Germany is developing
the chief features of her reply.
Accordingly, officials here looked
■with much Interest for word from
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin as to
the probable attitude of the German
Govrnment.
Official notification reached the
State Department to-day that the
President’s note had been formally de
livered to the German Foreign Office
Saturday morning at 10:30 o’clock.
Ambassador Gerard cabled that he
had presented the note in person.
The cablegram to tl)* State Depart
ment from the Ambassador was mere-
. ]y formal announcement of the re
ceipt and presentation of the Ameri-
fcan communication. It gave no inti-
!mation of how the note was received,
tand, of course, contained no forecast
f pf Germany’s attitude toward it
GALICIA
By FREDERICK WERNER.
(Special Correspondent International
News Service.)
BERLIN, May 17 (by wireless).—
To-day’s official report from the Ger
man general staff Udmits that the
German troops have withdrawn to
the east bank of the Ypres Canal,
near Steenstraate, where the forces
which recently forced their way
across to the west bank have been
under constant attack for many days.
The report states that the English
troops still hold the advanced Ger
man trenches 60uth of Neuve Cha-
pelle, where the Kaiser’s troops have
made repeated assaults.
French attacks north of Arras have
been repulsed with heavy losses north
of Arras.
Austrians Routed on
100-Mile War Front
By FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY.
(Special Correspondent International
News Service.)
PETROGRA D, May 17.—Complete
victory for the Russians in South
eastern Galicia and Bukowina is an
nounced by the War Office in an offi
cial statement Issued here to-day.
The Austrians have been routed
along the entire Dniester front of 100
miles, it states. The Russians have
taken 20,000 prisoners.
For ten days there has been severe
fighting along the Kniester front,
where the Russians have been assail
ing the Austrians’ right wing after
checking their attempts to advance
upon the Russians and strike at the
line of co'mmurfication on which they
depend for sending supplies and rein
forcements to the troops which have
been withdrawing before the Austro-
German assaults in the Carpathians
and in Western Galicia.
The Austrians have been driven
from their positions along the south
bank of the Dniester River, and have
been compelled to cross the Pruth.
Nadworna, 22 miles south of Stanis-
lau, has been recaptured by the Rus
sians. This is the fifth time Nad
worna has changed hands.
Held Compact Line.
The official statement issued at the
War Office was prepared at head
quarters and forms a review of re
cent operations.
“From the middle of April,” it says,
“news reached us of the transport of
a great number of Germans from the
western front and their concentration
in Western Galicia. This forced us
to stop the development of our ad
vance in the direction of Mezolaborcz
and Uszok; in order not to extend
our movements too far and to insure
ourselves facilities foi sending avail
able reserves to the threatened sec
tors.
■ The force which the enemy threw
on our front was so considerable that
our third army did not succeed in
checking the pressure on the sectors
of Ciezowiece and Gorlice. The re

fighting and impetuous coiinter at

from carrying out his intention of
breaking our front
“The enemy’s action was reduced
to frontal attacks on positions of the
third army, which he occupied in
succession, The great enthusiasm of
our troops enabled them to maintain
perfect order and cope with the dif
ferent problems forced upon them by
the battle and inflict enormous losses
on the enemy.

Pursuer of
Poultry
When Frank McBride goes a-hunt-
ing chickens his apparatus is easily
as (^jmplete as that of a porch climber
or second-story artist. But Frank
will not go chicken hunting any more
for 30 days. During that space of
time Frank’s surplus energy, if any,
will go to making small ones out of
large ones at the city stockade.
Frank McBride's case in the Re
corder’s Court Monday was interest
ing chiefly by reason of the contents
of a suit case which Frank had when
arrested at 3:30 o’clock the same
morning. Frank’s statement of how
he came to be abroad at that hour was
entertaining, too. but not Instructive.
The suit case, however, contained a
full outfit for obtaining entree to the
best chicken houses, together with one
large, plump evidence of what the oth
er miplements were used for—to wit,
one hen, still warm, but deceased.
The rest of the works Included:
One hammer.
One pair pliers, for cutting wire
fence or netting.
On% large knife.
Two bunches keys, assorted.
One Jimmy, for locks not amenable
to keys.
One crocus sack, for chickens.
Two brass hydrant faucets, for
which the police still are trying to
find a use.
GREEK KING VERY ILL.
(By International News Service.)
ATHENS, May 17.—King Constan
tine, who is suffering from pleurisy,
suffered a relapse to-day. His fe
ver increased during the night and
his pulse was 112.
Alas! Alack!
Alma’s Airs
• Too Loud
ALMA, May 17.—Alma’s City
Council thought Alma was quite large
enough to take on city airs. But the
“air” Alma took on smelled too much
of beer. So the Alma Council hastily
rescinded its action licensing near-
beer saloons.
Everything was going nicely until
one of the town’s wits named the beer
stands “Jung stands.” “Jung,” to hear
the Alma folks tell it, is no common
place name. “Jung” got to be such a
favorite, both as a new-fangled slang
word and as a commodity, that the
Council suddenly awoke to the fact
that a grave error of some sort had
been commltteed.
Agitation followed and “Jung” was
taboo. '*
Names Former Chum
In Suit for Divorce
Mrs. Nellie V. Brewer, of No. 676
North Boulevard, young wife of Les
ter R. Brewer, a West End druggist,
Monday was made defendant in a di
vorce suit filed by Attorney G. A. K.
Stevens, in which the husband charged
that A. B. Brown, a druggist and former
close friend, had broken up his home.
Brewer, it was stated, was Instrumental
in installing Brown in his present posi
tion with a local drug concern.
Brewer recited in his petition that his
wife had confessed to him that she
“loved Brown better than she did him,”
and that a final separation followed on
March 16, last.
The young husband also set out that
his wife’s father, on one occasion, had
given Brown twenty-four hours to leave
the city, under penalty of death, and
that Brown did leave and remained
away for three month*.
IS SET FOR
May 31 was designated for a spe
cial hearing of Leo Frank’s appeal be
fore the State Prison Commission,
following an informal conference
Monday afternoon between R. R. Da-
vision, Chairman of the Commission,
and Harry Alexander, Frank’s law
yer.
It was the desire of Frank’s at
torneys that a special hearing be ar
ranged at s»ome time before the regu
lar June session of the commission,
because the immense labor involved
in consideration of the bulky record
of the case would make it urgent that
action be taken quqickly, the date of
execution being June 22.
The date of the special hearing is
a week before the session at which
the hearing would have come in the
regular course of events.
Monday’s early mail brought to
Governor Slaton’s office more than
3,000 letters begging clemency for
Frank, among them pleas from United
States Senators, Governors, memners
of Congress and other men who are
among the most prominent citizens of
the United States.
Senator W. E. Borah, of Idaho, was
one of the petitioners in Frank’s be
half, stating his opinion that the
death sentence should be commuted.
Philander C. Knox, former United
States Secretary of State, wrote from
Pittsburg asking commutation for
Frank. Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio,
former Ambassador to France and
former Governor of Ohio, also ex
pressed an opinion that the Governor
should save Frank from the gallows:
Letters and telegrams in the same
vein have come from Senator Reed,
of Missouri. Senator C. S. Thomas,
of Colorado; Senator Newlands. of
Nevada; Frank Walsh, of Washing
ton, chairman of the Industrial Rela
tions Commission - Fred A. Delano,
member of the Federal Reserve Board,
and Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco.
Letters From Governors.
Letters have been received from
Governors of other States, among
them Governor Brumbaugh, of Penn
sylvania; Governor Hall, of Louis
iana; Governor Hatfield, of West Vir
ginia, and Governor Ferris, of Michi
gan.
It has almost universally been the
custom that the Governor of one
State should remain silent concerning
a problem with which another Gov
ernor has to deal, particularly In the
matter of extending clemency. The
letters that have come to Governor
Slaton from other Chief Executives
are probably the first instances of
such petitions in the United States;
certainly this is the first case in which
the petitions have been so general.
With Monday’s heavy mail, there
are probably more than 75,000 letters
and telegrams from every part of the
United States urging that Frank be
saved from the gallows. Of all the
correspondence in connection with
the case, fewer than twenty letters
have suggested that the death sen
tence be executd.
Letters Are Crated.
The letters have been kept In a
large crate, three feet deep and four
feet long. This has long since been
filled to overflowing, ajid a little moun
tain of letters accumulated above its
level, so that another box as large
will be necessary to hold the petitions
Necessarily, the larger portion of
the appeals must remain unread by
the Governor. None of them, it is
likely, could have an effectam the final
decision, coming as they do from oth
er States and from persons whose
helpful knowledge of the case must be
practically nothing. The task of read
ing 75,000 letters would be a year’s

Cattle Quarantine
Is Lifted by State
Dr. Peter F. Barnsen, State Veteri
narian, has no more fear of an invasion
of Georgia by the foot and mouth dis
ease, the dreaded scourge of cattle
which cost Western stock dealers mil
lions within the last year. An order
was promulgated by Dr Bahnsen Mon
day removing the quarantine that had
been established by Georgia authorities
against Importation of cattle from the
Infected districts.
Dr Bahnsen explained the order by
stating that work of eradicating the
disease has progressed to a point at
which it appears safe to remove the re
strictions. However, all protection is
not eliminated, as the existing regula
tions of the Federal Government and of
the State Department of Agriculturi
furnish a safeguard against ordinary In.

U.S. Press Subsidized
Says GermanTeacher
(By International Newt Service.)
BERLIN, May 17—Professor Hell-
bron, writing In Der Tag, says of
the American attitude on the sink
ing of the Lusitania:
"The English and American press
have been bought up with English
gold, and have already begun to ex
ploit the.Lusitania Incident to stir up
America against us. The sober-
minded American Government, how
ever. hardly will be able to draw se
rious concluslors from the loss of the
Lusitania and the loss of American
passengers.
"Americans intrusted themselves
and their goods to an auxiliary
cruiser of a belligerent power. The
passengers on the Lusitania know
ingly entered a war zone, and there
is no reason to treat a war zone at
sea different from a war zone on
land.”
Woman Chased Mile
And Slain by ‘Ripper’
County Policemen Butler and Wal
ters and Coroner Donehoo Monday
were trying to solve the mystery of
the identity of a negro woman, ap
parently 40 years of age, who was
found murdered early Sunday in the
woods on the Boulevard near the
Plaster's Bridge road—another victim
of the elusive ”Jack-the-Ripper.”
An investigation at the scene of the
crime showed that the woman had
lost her life only after a frantic race
with the slayer a distance of fully a
mile through the lonely woods. She
had been shot and her throat was cut.
This is the first "Jack-the-Ripper”
slaying in several months, and runs
the total up to twenty or more.

By A. M. JAMIESON.
(Special Correspondent International
News Cervioe.)
NEW YORK, May 17.—'Just where
the United States stands in the
great world crisis which is shattering
Europe with war was outlined by
President Wilson here this afternoon
in a speech at a luncheon given in
his honon at the Biltmore Hotel
Touching upon the policy of the
American Government, Mr. Wilson
made It plain that he will be guided
by the people of the nation. He paid
high tribute to the tenacity of the
American people In holding to high
Ideals no matter what party Is In
power.
Ej'aaident Wilson took especial
pains to praise the naval policy of
Secretary Daniels and to make It
clear that Mr. Daniels has the com
plete endorsement of the chief .ex
ecutive.
As to the position of the United
States at this- critical time—particu
larly so on accoutn of the Govern
ment’s relations with Germany—Mr
Wilson said: •
Wants No Nation’s Property.
"We want no nation’s property; we
wish to question no nation’s honor:
we wish to stand selfishly In the way
of the development of no nation; we
want nothing that we can not, by our
legitimate enterprise and by the in
spiration of our example, claim.
Standing for these things It Is not
pretension on our part to say that we
are privileged to stand for what
every nation would wish to stand
for."
The greatest ovation ever given a
President of the United States was
accorded President Wilson to-day
when he came ashore to review the
naval parade from teh 3300,000,000
fleet assembled In North River, which
he will Inspect this afternoon. A half
million persons who turned out, de
spite the wind and rain, frenzledly
cheered and waved hats, and as the
brass bands from the battleships In
the harbor crashed out martial music
the demonstration passed all bounds.
In Fifth avenue the crush was so
great that ambulances were massed
In the side streets for quick use. That
the reception was highly pleasing to
Mr. Wilson was evident.
Hundreds of silk-hatted business
men caught the infection and joined
In the cheering Scores of society
women hurled their costly furs Into
the air, regardless of what became
of them.
President Deeply Affected.
Afterwards Joseph Tumulty, the
President's secretary, said:
"The President is more affected by
this reception than by anything he
has experienced lately. It Is the
greatest patriotic outburst I have ever
seen.” .
President Wilson was accompanied
by Secretary Daniels. Acting Mayor
McAneny and a number of other offi
cials, as he drove to the reviewing
stand. The President looked as
though his sea trip from the capital
aboard the yacht Mayflower had done
him good and he was apparently ijn-
conscious of the widespread precau
tions taken to guard him.
While the presidential procession
was passing through the streets, the
heads of uniformed patrolmmen could
be seen upon roofs of houses where
they had been sent to guard against
possible bomb throwers. Even after
the presidential party had reached the
reviewing stand, Police Inspector
Schmittberger ordered all the wood
work of the President’s box away eo
