BERLIN, June 12.—Hostilities have
developed on a big scale in Poland,
where the Germans have won two im
portant fights—one at Przasnysz and
the other at Sochaczew, west of War
saw.
The German War Office, in an offi
cial statement to-day, declared 650
Russian prisoners had been taken at
Przasnysz and Sochaczew, and that
the Slav position had been broken at
the latter place.
The Austro-German army of Gen
eral von Linsengen has engaged the
Russian forces that were advancing
against his left wing in Galicia.
A mighty conflict has been raging
around Zurowano, on the Dniester,
town having changed hands twice.
The Russians have been driven be
yond the bridge head at Meinska.
At Przasnysz the Russians were
driven from a strong position, and lost
150 prisoners, as well as machine guns
and mine throwers.
At Sochazevy. where the Russians
lost 500 prisoners, their position was
broken before the determined German
assaults.
Sochacew is on the Lowicz-Warsaw
railway, 25 miles from Warsaw.
In the western theater of war
French and British attacks were re
pulsed at Ypree and near the Lorette
Hills. The French, being heavily re
inforced. attacked at the Labyrinth,
but were repulsed. The Germans have
advanced near Hebuterne, south of
Arras.

Short Change Man
Is Nabbed at Game
The ancient shell game, thought to
have been first practiced by Jacob on
his blindly unsuspecting father Isaac,
has again made Its appearance in At
lanta, with ’Gene Knox, stamp clerk
at the postoffice; D. T. Cannon, clerk
at the Scoville Hotel, and others the
victims In the sum of $5 each.
Mr. Knox was asked for 5 cents’
worth of stamps by a smooth-appear
ing young man, who shoved a $10
bill at him. He gave $9.95 in change,
when the flush young man exclaimed
that he had discovered a dime loose in
his pocket and he would give back the
bills and silver.
In the confusion of the transaction,
according to Knox, the polite young
man forgot to give back the $5 bill,
and as others were waiting for their
stamps the mistake was overlooked
until checking-up time. The same
trick was played on Mr. Cannon, who
took his shell and tried to swallow his
disappointment.
Along came Policeman Guy Lindsay,
working on a clew that led him to
nab L. C, Smith, alias C. C. Edwards,
alias G. T Cannon, the last of these
names being nearly identical with the
name of the hotel clerk, who promptly
ickentlfied Smith at police headquar
ters. The case was called up Satur
day by Judge Johnson, but set over
until Monday to allow time for other
alleged victims to count their change.

WASHINGTON, June 12.— The
United States arfd Germany are on
the way toward an amicable and hon
orable settlement of their grave dif
ferences. This was the accepted view
to-day in official and diplomatic
Washington.
Unofficial but credible reports have
reached the Capital that the second
American note has been well received
in Berlin, where the firmness of its
ton was not overlooked, but It was
noted that the document is not bom
bastic in tenor and shows the disposi
tion ,©f this Government to come to a
reasonable basis of agreement.
The reply of the German Foreign
Office to the American note transmit
ted two days ago is not expected for
about two weeks, but there is a no
ticeable increase to-day in the opti
mism of Government officials and the
observant Washington public.
This more hopeful feeling regard
ing the controversy, however, was
mixed with some concern as to the
interpretation Germany and other for
eign countries may put upon the
propaganda sponsored by the retired
Secreary of State, William Jennings
Bryan.
Bryan’s Latest Statement.
The former Premier has issued an
other statement explaining his posi
tion, his latest appeal being addressed
to German-Americans, who are asked
their Influence upon the German Gov
ernment to persuade it not to take any
steps which may lead to war.
Because of his recent utterances at
a critical period in the nation’s history
Mr. Bryan has not escaped severe
criticism, and it is understood his ac
tivities at this time are not wholly
understood by or pleasing to official
Washington
While Germany considers the sec
ond American note, it became known
in official quarters that this Govern
ment will send to Great Britain and
her allies a note seeking a change in
the conduct of the “bread blockade”
now conducted by them. It will be
urged that such a blockade should be
conducted along the recognized prin
ciples of international law, which
forbids interference with noncontra
band articles In transit to or from a
belligerent country through contigu
ous neutral territory, or destined to
neutral pdrts.
If headway car be made with Great
Britain, it will relieve greatly the Ger
man situation, although it Is still the
purpose of the Administration not to
complicate the two issues—one with
Germany regarding the neutrality of
the seas and the safety of Americans,
the other with Great Britain concern
ing her detention of noneontraband
shipments.
Wants Shipping Protected
Germany constantly has sought to
ofTer au an extenuating circumstance
in her submarine warfare the British
blockade, and, while this Government
will not permit such a plea to affect
the attitude announced after the un
doing of the Lusitania, the Washing
ton Administration nevertheless will
seek to impress on Great Britain that
it does not approve of interference
with shipping.
The note to Germany has been read
closely in diplomatic quarters. There
are a variety of predictions as to the
probable reply of Germany, but the
general impression seems to be that
the note meets the situation fully and
yet leaves the way open for a settle
ment through diplomacy, rather than

The hearing before Governor Sla
ton of the final plea for clemency for
Leo M. Frank, condemned to die on
June 22 as the slayer of Mary Phagan,
unexpectedly was adjourned Saturday
at 12:30 o’clock until Monday morn
ing at 9 o’clock, when Solicitor Dor
sey, who appeared to oppose interfer
ence with the death sentence, asked
that he be given additional time in
which to prepare a written statement,
or brief, covering all details of the
case for submission to the Governor
and from which to make his argu
ment. He explained that this brief
would mean the saving of consider
able time. He asked for a delay of
three hours, but as this would have
put off the hearing until late Satur
day afternoon, the Governor ad
journed It to Monday.
The adjournment came at the close
of on argument by former Governor
Joseph M. Brown, who headed a dele
gation of Marietta citizens in opposi
tion to the plea for a commutation of
the sentence to life imprisonment.
Herbert (’lay, Solicitor General of
the Marietta circuit, had preceded the
former Governor in a speech against
commutation.
Former Congressman William M.
Howard presented Frank’s appeal to
the Governor, and pleaded for a com
mutation of the death sentence. At
torneys for the condemned man will
have another inning when the State
closes its case. Attorney Harry A.
Alexander Is expected to speak for
F rank before the defense finishes.
The hearing most likely will be con
cluded Monday, as Governor Slaton is
intending to go to Athens Tuesday
morning to deliver the commencement
address at the University of Georgia.
He Intimated Saturday that he would
hold a night session Monday, if this
should become necessary in order to
complete the hearing
Governor to See Factory,
In accepting an invitation of the
State and defense Saturday to visit
the National Pencil Factory before he
formulates hie decision, the Governor
indicated that It is his purpose to
carefully inspect the scene of the
murder of Mary Phagan and to per
sonally satisfy himself as to every
detail of the crime. He made no an
nouncement as to the time when he
will make this Inspection.
The Governor’s office was thronged
throughout the whole of Saturday’s
session, many people, unable to get
inside, crowding about the two en
trances and standing in chairs in the
corridors.
As the hearing opened Governor
Slaton asked the attorneys pres- jt*
ent who desired to speak to make y
the fact known. Mr. Dorsev-4-.
stated that Governor Brown and V.
E. McGregor, of Warrenton, wanted
to speak for t^| State, but he did not
know if they were present.
Governor Slaton here had the outer
door to his private office, where the
hearing is being conducted, opened/
and the crowd pressed in. It was
necessary to call for order in the re
ception room, adjoining the private
office, so great was the clamor for ad
mission. ^
Mr. Howard stated that there would,
be just one speech made by attorj
neys for Frank.
Mr. Howard opened his case at 9:30
o’clock. He stated he would outline
his case, then make his speech after
the State had been informed of the
points he expected to argue.
Solicitor Dorsey contended for court
rules on the speech-making, but Gov
ernor Slaton stated he hoped no such
condition would prevail, as he did not
want technicalities, but enlighten
ment.
Mr Howard was willing to have
Governor Brown and others t>t®o®de
