It is Thought in German Circlet that

AMICABLE ADJUSTMENT IS SEEN
WASHINGTON, Mar 5. Prellmi
nary reports received by the State
department today stating that the
Gulfllght was torpedoed without
warning while flying the American
flag left officla's in doubt only as to
the nationality of the submarine
which committed the attack.
Ambassador Page, at London re
ported that he had set in motion a
detailed investigation. He sent a
naval attache and naval constructor
to make a technical examination of
the vessel.
Consul General Skinner and his sub
ordinate agfnta have been Instructed by
the ambassador to take depositions and
statements from officers and members
of the crew of the Gulfllght. Jn the
meantime Ambassador Gerard has asked
the German government for uch Infor
mation as it may have on the subject.
Not Available Now. '
The facts probably will not be avail
able for several days, and until then no
decision will be reached by the United
States government as to the nature of
the representations It will make.
It is thought In German quarters that
if the German government learns that
one of its submarines by mistake did
attack the Oulfllght regret will be
promptly expressed for the occurrence.
Officials here .are inclined to the be
lief that whatever facts are disclosed by
the Investigation will lead not only to
an amicable adjustment of the Gulfllght
Incident, but the evereise of greater pre
cautions by the German submarine com
manders in the future.
Smtta'a Statement.
The statement received by the State
Department from Chief Officer femlth
of the Gulfllght follows: .
"One p. m., Saturday: heavy weather,
fifteen miles west of Bishop, flying large
American ensign. following British
patrol boats to Bishop, waa torpedoed
without warning. Submarine was seen

"There are 80.000 children in Omaha who
want to see the bell." A few days later
Mr. Ernst received a letter from the
mayor, who slated that the telegram had
been laid before the proper authorities.
Now the Omaha boys and girls are going
to sec the bell that first rang out the
tidings of liberty.

SLAVS DIE BY THE THOUSANDS
Russian Prisoners Say Battle Most
Terrible Thing They Ever

COLUMNS ARE PANIC-STRICKEN
VIKNNA. May 5. (Via London.)
The Austrian war department to
day issued an official statement,
reading:
"The Russian front of 7.boro-Sstropko-Lupkow,
In the neskid
mountains, has become untenable.
As the victorious allies are continu
ally advancing from the west toward
Jaslow and Zrulgrod, the enemy on
the west Carpathian front started
this morning In full retreat from
Hungary, pursued by the Austro
German troops.
"The Russians, therefore, were beaten
on a front of luO kilometers (ninety-three
miles) and were forced to retreat with
the heaviest losses.
"On the remainder of our front the
situation remains unchanged."
Soatherw Win Broken.
BERLIN (Via London), May (.-The
southern wing of the Russian army In
West Qallcla has been broken along a
front of thirty-six kilometers (twenty
four miles), according to a dispatch to
the Tageblatt from a special correspond
ent. "The attack was made with such deter
mination," says the correspondent, "that
the Russnans were forced to abandon.
not only their first lines, but also the
villages back of the front, which served
as quarters. Only In Oorllce did the
Russians make 1 a aland. This town was
destroyed by an artillery bombardment
and a bitter street fight preceded Its
capture by the Germans.
Tneaawaas of Raastaaa Killed.
"All the staff officers of one Russian
division were killed or wounded. Induct
ing several generals. The majority of the
prisoners wore military caps, but civilian
clothing. They complained of Insufficient
food."
Special dispatches from Went Oallclan
battle fielda say that Russian prisoners
describe the effect of the German and
Austrian artillery fire as appalling. The
bavoo thus wrought waa particularly se
vere t Oorllce. where the Russians
fought stubbornly and for four hours en
dured a torrtllD fire. In this time, ac
cording to these reports, divisions
dwindled to regiments, and regiment to
companies. ,
The Russian center waa so shaken by
the reverses sustained by the two wings
that it was compelled to abandon Its
positions.
Thousands of prisoners were made In
the center as well as on the wings.
The victory of the Austru-Gonnan
forces is considered' of especial Impor
tance, because It deprives the Russian
army In the Carpathians of protection
against a flanking aoovement

The correspondent of the Zeltung Am

line after line oY German and Aus
trian troops pushes forward, despite op
position. He says that the Russians are
endeavoring to bring up reinforcement
end' halt the panicky retreat of their
columns.
The heavy artillery has made the huge
battlefield a horrible sight, tearing up
the ground, demolishing the positions of
the Russians and scattering their sup
plies. The list of Russian dead, according to
this correspondent, la extraordinarily
large, while the losses to the Germans
are said to have been insignificant. Long
line of prisoners are being put on board
tiKlns, which are leaving constantly for
the Interior, as are also the German
woundrd. Russians prisoner are cred
ited with the statement that the battle
was more terrible than anything they
had experienced previously.
