(Special Correspondent International News Service.) 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. 000 000 000 - 0 8 1 001 000 00X - 1 6 1 Umpire*, Finneran and Howell, H.

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. BOY HURT BY AUTO.

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 TO-DAY'S RACING RESULTS AT JAMAICA.

Columbia-Columbus game ofr. rain. 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 I s /.
