correct, the French having simply
gone ashore there to make fB land

WALSH ANSWERS JOHN D.
Asserts He Has Violated No Confi
dences, as .Charged by OU
. King-.
OXLT 'PITY FOR ROCKEFELLER
CINCINNATI. O., May A-Frank P.
Walsh, chairman of the United Mates
cmmlMon on Industrial relations, In an
swering th charge-of John D. TUv-ke-foller,
Jr., that he had made public pri
vate correspondence, plated today that no
matter which has to do with breaking
down the Hvle organism ef the atate cr
country can be railed private.
"If these letters that Mr. Rockefeller
has sent to this commission era tnm,"
Mr. Walsh continued, "and I believe they1
ere true, then I have violate ne confi
dence. Inasmuch as the facts In thea
letters show conditions which have not
heretofore been given to this commlssVni,
and which I believe are vital to the un
derstanding of the Colorado coal strike
situation.
Pity , for Jona D.
"But I have nothing but-pKy for John
TX Rockefeller, jr. He Is representing
the rreateet fortune In the world, and I
want ta say In doing this he does not do
anything without first getting orders
from Tarrytown. John D. Rockefeller,
sr., Is still managing all the mines in
Colorado; he is still building up all of
his Investments the same as he did when
building up the Standard Oil company. -
And in this respect I want to say that
if this commission did nothing more than
open up the door ot SS Broadway tt would
have Justified its existence. I believe the
fortune of Rockefeller end ths Rocke
feller industries point the way to the
solution of Industrial nnrest in the coun
try today. I base Vla conclusion on what
the commission has found out to be fa-ts.
The source of the potential employing
power of the United States is almost en
tirely Invested In New Tork City, and I
might say it is almost subject to the will
of one roan, and toat man Is J. D. Rocke
feller. ,
"I want ,to oall your attention to the
fact that the Rocky Mountain Fuel and
Iron corttpany and the Victor American
Fuel and Iron company are two of the
largest corporations of this nature In
Colorado and are practically controlled
by the Rockefeller group owners of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company. This
Is a fact despite the stout denial by the
Rockefeller people up to the time that we
went to Colorado to conduct the Investi
gation." V
ketches BMuatloa.
Mr. Yelsh then sketched 'briefly the
situation In Colorado.
' "Mr. ' Rockefeller In his letter to me
stated that It appeared singular to him
that I was one to disturb the industrial
peace, continued Mr. Walsh. "If the
trial of Lawson and the Ludlow massacre
are Industrial peace, then Clod forbid that
we have peace. I fully agree with Mr.
Rockefeller that the women and children
at Ludlow were not shot, but were
smothered to death, and I lay this a the
door of the' operators." i '

Italy's Interests
WASHINGTON, May X Suoh advices
as have' come to the United States gov

that- Italy's preparations clearly tend to
her participation in the war at an early
date.
American diplomatists In EuropeT some
of whom are in tduoh with the Italian
situation, believe Italy's decision Is now
only a matter Of days, and arrangements
already are being made to accomodate
Italian Interests, should the emergency
arise.
If lta.lv should enter the war. tt Is un
derstood. It would ask the American, em
bassies in Vienna, Berlin and Constanti
nople to care for its dlplomatio Interests.
The recent call to Rome of the Italian
ambassadors accredited to Great Britain,
France, Germany and Austria if as gen
erally taken to foreshadow Italy final
decision. '
In view of the developments of the last
few days and! the information obtained
from official sources, diplomatists here
would not be surprised if the Italian am

"EYE WITNESS" GIVES ACCOUNT
LONDON, May 3. That the Ger
mans used asphyxiating gases, not
only on the first day of the battle ot
Tpree, but repeatedly afterward, and
that many of their Infantry were af
fected and unitre ta Join tn the
charged, la declared by the British
"eye witness" In hlg story of the lat
est Btagoa of the battle.
The turning point In the battle,
he says, came on trTe afternoon ot
April 26, when, after the Germans
had delivered a number of fierce as
saults and had pierced the allies
lines near Broodselnde,, a strong
combined counter attack was carried
out by the French and British along
the whole front, from Steenstraate
to-St. Jullen. This cat sod a definite
check to the German offensive, re
lieved the pressure and gained a cer
tain amount ot ground. .
Uroat Volume of Fire.
"During this counter attack," seys the
chronicler, "the guns conoentrattd' by
both sides on this comparatively narrow
front poured in a great volume of fire.
From the right came ths roar of the
British batteries; from the left the roll
ing thunder of the solxanta Q ulnae'
(French T.5 centimeter gun), and every
now and tnen, above ths turmoil, rose a
dull boom' as a huge howitser shell burst
In the ylcinlty of Tpres. ' ( '
"On ourv right our infantry stormed
the German trenches close to St Jullen,
and in the evening gained the southern
outskirts ot the village. In the center
they capturtKtinchea to the south of
Bote , Des Cuislnlrs. west of BX. Jullen,
and still farther west mors trenches were
taken. i
Can't Malntala It All.
"This represented an advance of some
SCO' or TOO yards, but tbs gain In ground
could not at ail points be maintained.
"Opposite Et. Jullen. -we fell back from
the village to a -position Just south of
the place, and In.' front of the Bole Des
Cuislnlrs, and on the left' of the line, a
similar retirement took place.
"The enemy made extensive use of his
gas cylinders and machine guns placed
In farms and at other points of vantage.
Nonetheless, the situation at nightfall
was more satisfactory than it had been.
We were holding our own well along the
line and had 'mads progress at some
points. On Ue right the enemy's attacks
on the. front of Qravenstafel ridge had all
been repulsed.
Froacti Achieve Saeocos.
"In the meantime the French had
achieved some success, haying retaken
Llxerne and also the trenches around1
Het Sas, captured some SB prisoners and
mado progress all along ths west bank
of tba canal. '-vv
"Heavy as our losses were during the
day, there Is little doubt that the enemy
suffered terribly. 3ofh sides were at
tacking at different points. The fighting
was conducted .very largely In ths open,
and-the clos formations of the Germans
on several oocaalone presented excellent
targets to our artillery, , which did not
fall to setae its opportunities."
