'LOCAL NEWSPAPERS | /\ BETTER PRICE THREE CENTS. NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1915 —TWELVE PAGES. ESTABLISI BRITISH SUBMARINE SUNK IN HELGOLAND, GERMAN NAVAL BASE Austrian Attacks Against Russians [vadiag Northern Hungary Fail Gormans Claim Successes. DEADLOCK BETWEEN ITALY AND AUSTRIA BROKEN . Czar's Forees Gain Advantage in Ar- tillery Duels Near East Prussian ¥rontier—Turks Entrench Them- selves to Offer Resistance to Land | Forces of Allies Which Expect to Attack Dardanelles Fortifications. . The German admiralty announced teday that a British submarine was sunk five days ago in Helgaland, one of the most important German naval | stations. It is said British submar- ines have been observed and attacked | repeatedly in this bay and that others probably have been destroyed. In Petrograd it is asserted that attacks by Austrian forces on the Rus- | sians who invaded northern Hungar) have failed. The Austrians attempl- ed outflanking movements along the section of the Carpathian lines, where the Russians succeeded in reaching the Hungarian plains, but according to the information from Petrograd they were put to rout, with large losses. . Germans Claim Scucesses. In France and Belgium yesterday there was continuance of the minor operations such as have been under w of late. Small successes are claimed by the Germans, but the French communication gives no new | details. A Geneva despatch says Austrian and German subjects in Switzerland 1 have been recalled to their respective | countries. It is also reported that the | Italian government, has requisitioned | all Italian vessels engaged in trade with the United States. Deadlock Is Broken. The deadlock in the negotiations | between Austria and Italy has been broken, and hopes of a settlement of the questions at issue without resort | to arms have been revived in Rome. | It is not known except by persons .closely concerned what change has taken place to relieve the situation, but Rome assumes that either Aus- tria or Italy has made somse conces- sion. Italy has been represented pre- viously as demanding in their entire- by the Trent and Istria districts, as well as the Dalmatian Islands in the Aegean, whereas Austria was be- lieved to be willing to yield only a compartively small part of this terri- tory. A strong Turkish army is preparing to offer resistance to the land forces with which the allies expect to attack the Dardanelles fortifications form the “rear. An Athens despatch says the Turks have entrenched themselves strongly along the coast of the Gulf of Saros. It is in this vicinit ac- corling to unofficial advices yesterday, that 20,000 British and French troops have landed. Turkish encamp- ments along the coast are being bom- p barded by warships of the allies. British Hold Hill No. 60. The determination of the German offensive and the high cost to the allies of an advance are shown again in the fighting near Ypres, as when the British took Neuve Chapelle last month. Since the capture of Hill No. 60 by the British, the Germans have made one attack after another in the attempt to regain this important strategic position. The Josses on both sides are believed to run into the thousands. So far as has been dai closed the British have succeeded in retaining the hill. British Submarine Sunk. Berlin, April via London 2:20 P. m.—The German admiralty toda, gave out a statement sa, certain German bay of the North Se British submarines have been repeat- edly observed recently and attacked by German forces. Such a hostile submarine was sent to the bottom April 17, and the destruction of other . such vessels is considered - probable, Break in Deadlock. Rome, April 2 8:20 p. m., Paris, April 22, a. m.—Much dis- cussion has been aroused by the in- terview with Senator Riccardo Carafa, published today (Wednesday) Messaggero regarding his Via. ing the war situation. and the subse- quent official statement denying that the premier made “any concrete state- 1ent of any kind” when informed by 1he¢ senator that Prince Von Beulow, the German anibassador, was pessi- mistic over the success of negotiations between Itatly and Austria.

Several other com- modities are added to the list of con- ditional contraband, including wool, rubber, iron and several other ores. The regulation prescribes that these articles shall be assumed conditional contraband destined for the enemy, if consigned “To order or to a person whose name does not appear in the ship’s papers or a person in the enemy's territory.” In such a case it is provided that a ship shall be liable to capture even if bound for a neutral port. The order directs also that condi- tional contraband may be confiscated without regard to the consignee when a ship is destined for.a neutral coun- try from which the nations at war with Germany obtain articles of the kind in question. ADELE HUGO DIES AT AGE OF 85 YEARS Youngest Daughter of Fa- mous French Author De- mented for years. Paris, April 22, 5:25 a. m.—Adele Hugo, voungest daughter of Victor Hugo, died yesterday at her residence in Suresnes, a suburb of this city, at the age of 85 years The sad life story of Adele Hugo many years ago aroused the sympathy of the entire world. As a girl she wos kdnapped at Guernsey by an English officer. All Europe was searched for her by her parents but they obtained no trace of her whereabouts. Several months later a girl found wandering alone in the streets of New York, apparently demented, declared “I am the daughter of Victor Hugo.” This was the only statement she ever made. She was sent back to France to her | parents but her lips rémained sealed | until the end. She failed to entirely | recover her reason and after the death | of her father lived a solitary exist- | ence in her villa, morose and.seldom speaking. When she did consent to | converse it never was of the past. | Mlle. Hugo's only appearances in | public were when she went to Paris to witness from the back of a dark- ened box the reproduction of one of her father's plays. Apparently she had no friends and never received visitors. | TWELVE KILLED BY \ COLLAPSE OF WALL More Than Twenty Other Persons More or Less Seriously Imjured in Catastrophe.

I The store buildings, occupied by the i Hann Shoe company and the Atlantic |and Pacific Tea company, were com- | pletely wrecked by the wall which |\\'a.f! left standing after a recent fire. Six bodies have been recovered and six other persons believed to have been in the crowded buildings when | the crash occurred, were reported i missing. | Five of the injured were said today in a serious conditiocn. the bodies recovered thus far are those of persons employed in the i two stores. They include Alex Mec- i Leod, manager of the shoe store, and J. H. Whitloclk, auditor of the tea company. Among the injured are many shoppers, some of whom had narrow escapes from death.

ARMS EMBARGO WOUL BREAK NEUTRALITY U. S. Declares in chl; 10 Memorae- dum of German Ambassader. . NOTE 1S WAITTEN BY WILSON Presllialt Says Language Employed by Kaiser's Envoy Is Susceptible of Being Construed as Impugning | Good of U. S. Washington, April 22.—The Ameri- can government's answer to the re- cent memorandum of Count Vou Bernstorff, the German ambassador, complaining that while the United States had failed to maintain its right to expert foodstutfs to Germany it ‘had permitted the shipment of arms | to the allies, was before the German | government today. The shipment of | arms, the ambassador asserted, was| not in keeping with the real spirit of neutrality. The Am ten by Presgident W sent by Secretary B Von Bernstorff, who transmitted it to the German foreign office. The reply is regarded here as a carefull framed statement of the attitude of the United States and, it is believed, will clear any doubt that may have | existed as to that position. | Violation of Neutrality. | The attitude of the American gov- ernment as outlired in the note is| that to stop the shipment of arms| during the progress of the War would be in violation of the neutrality of | the United State: The answer ex- plains that the relations of the United States with any of the belligeren cannot wisely be discussed ‘third government, and says that the ambassador’s note refers to circum- stances which the United States would have supposed hardly appropriate for | ¢iscussion between the two govern- ments. : | The language employed by the am-} bassador in his memorandum, the note | says, ‘“is susceptible of being con- ! strued as impugning can note, which was writ_ had been van to Count | | the good faith | of the United States in the perform- ance of its duties as a neutral” but | the American reply ‘“‘takes it for| granted that no such implication was | intended” and adds that evidently the | ambassador is “laboring under cer- | tain false impressions.” The note emphasizes the strong tie: «f friendship between the United | States and Germany and points out that the neutrality of the United States *‘is founded upon the firm basis of conscience and good will.” ELEVEN DEFORMED CHILDREN INJURED | Three Fatally Hurt—'Bus in Which | They Were Riding in Cleveland, 0., Struck by Street Car.
