The authenticity - of the J¥rench and British war reports is challenged by the German war office, which characterizes as inventions heir claim to victories. These claims, it is said, are disproved by the of- y ficial German statements.

It is said that after #wix days of violent fighting, during ‘‘which the Russians maintained their position, the Austrian attack subsided. Situation Still Dark. The situation in the east is still to be cleared up. Confident assertions from Berlin last week that the Rus- glan°® advance in the Carpathians region had been halted are offset by “ihe claim of the Petrograd war office that the principal chain of the moun- tains, comprising a seventy-five-mile section of the front, is now in posses- sion of the Russians, and that 70,000 Austrians have been captured in the last few weeks, It is said in Petro- grad that the movement toward the -, interior of Hungary will be resumed after the troops have been rested and reinforced.

L.ondon, April 19—Baron De Reuter managing director of Reuter's Tele- gram company was found dead yester- ‘day at his home near Reigate, Surrey. A discharged revolver was found near his body and the authorities declare there is little doubt he committed su | cide. Baron De Reuter was prostrat- ed by the death of his wife last Thurs- day. Her body is still in the home awaiting interment. Their only son is in the army. i Baron Auguste Julius Clemens Her- bert De Reuter was born March 10, 1852, He was educated at Harrow, Ox- ford and Paris. His wife, whom he married in 1876, was a daughter of the late Robert Campbell of Buscot Park, Berkshire. Besides the son and heir, who is in the British army, they are survived by a daughter, who is the wife of J. W. E. J. Douglas. Baron De Reuter succeeded to tha title upon the death in 1899 of his father, who was created a baron of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1871. Royal license for permission to use the title in England was granted in 1891 by Queen Victoria. . The first baron was the founder of | Reuter's Telegram company, now one of the leading news gathering organ- jzations of the world. In 1851, when the cable was laid between England | and France, the headquarters of the company was transferred to London. GILL ARRESTED TODAY. | Young Man from New Britain Has !
