London, May 19, 4:156 a. m.—*“Never since the war began has any one day brought so grave a bulletin as that received late last night,” says the Pet- rograd correspondent of the Post. “On this occasion, for the first time since hostilities opened I fail to find any indications that suggest a -prom- ising set-off to what on its face seenis something like a collapse of the Rus- sian forces. Over a front extending some 200 miles the Germans have caused the Russians to retreat. few months this seems. almost incred- | ible and almost compels the ‘belief that the best part of the truth about the entire situation remains hidden. The official organ conveys the im- pression that what the Russians have done is only to succeed in escaping annihilation by a series of more or less masterly movements to the rear. It is admitted that the German plan of compelling the abandonment of an invasion of Hungary by a fierce on- slaught from Gracow has been suc- cessful.” Russian. Achievements Undone. “As the result of the latest Ger- man tactics,”” says a despatch to the Mail from Petrograd, ‘“‘all that had been accomplished by the Russians in the Carpathians has been undone and months have been added to the dur- ation of: the war. “If the German plans had succeed- ed completély, if General Linsingen’s army had been as fortunate as Gen- eral Von Mackensen’s, if the Austrians in Bukowina had been triumphant, if the Baltic invasion had resnited in the capture of Riga, the blow would have been: terrific.? Fortunately, as mat-]| térs now stand, the enémy has not 'accomplished anything really décisive, To Advance Upon [nmbe;g. “The general idea of the German offensive’ was to advance upon Lem- berg from three différent directions. Von Mackensen was to attack from the .east, breaking through the Rus- sian front; Linsingen was to . force Tuukhalka Pass and move swiftly up the Stry Valley; Archduke Eugene in Bukowina was to turn the Russian left, Apparently General Von Mackensen was alone successful in his attack, Linsengen being held back, while the Archduke's army was soundly beaten. “The leading Russian. military au- thorities suggests that ‘the Germans intend to follow up their success with an advance on Warsaw, but for:this they will need more troops than they can muster as long as the present ac- tivity ‘on the western front continues. This is the only road to allied victory; but let there be no mistake—the end is a very long way off.” Teutonic Allies Advancing:, The Petrograd correspondent of the Telegraph says it would be absurd to pretend that .the situation developed on the Russian front in the last three weeks is anything but uncomfortable, for in almost every direction the Teu- tonic allies seem to be gaining ground rapidly. He asserts, however, that there is no need for pessimism, for the German successes are due entirely to the possession of strategic Tailways which enable them to concentrate rapidly in any desired direction. “These partial occupations of ter- ritory,” the correspondent says, “‘count for little in the present war, and they are gained at a tremendous cost in lives, which it.is more difficult for the Austro-Germans to -replace tan for the Russians. Hence there is no sign of weakening in the resolution of the Russian people or their confidence in the ultimate issue.” Grand Duke Brings Ammubition, At a critical point in the fighaing near Jaslo, Galicia, according to a despatch to the Daily Mail from Pet- rograd, Grand Duke Nicholas in' per- son rushed to the scene with ammuni- tion, making the last fifty miles at top speed in an automobile. His car was followed by a string. of thirteen other automobiles loaded to c&paclty with ammunition. The arrival of the commfler in chief is said to have turned the tide, inspiring the Cossacks to retake Jaslo, which the Germans had occupied. During their brief occupation the Germans are reported to have hanged the mayor for displaying a Ruasinn flag. During the recent fighting one end of the Empress Alexandra’s Red Cross train was splintered by shrapnel. O’DAY-FOX.

BEF AN e ‘Washington, May 19.—Concluding arguments on the motion of coun- sel’ for the government to dismiss the temporary injunction secured by the Riggs ‘National bank against Secre- tary McAdoo, Comptroller of the cur- rericy Williams and Treasurer Burke, which charges the first two officials with baving conspired to wreck it, ‘were begun today before Justice Mc- Coy, in the supreme court of the District of Columbia. Samuel. Untermyer of counsel for the treasury officials, presented the closing .argument in support of the motion to dismiss. He argued that hostility of the Riggs bank and the | National City Bank of agai New York Secretary McAdoo and Mr. Willial was the ‘basis of the present suit. He declared that the removal of a “pipe line” between the treas- ury and the banks and the withdrawal of “special privileges’” aroused resent- ment which culminated in the legal action, ‘to which, he argued, Mr. Mc- Adoo was rightfully not a party and he described the secretary’s inclusion in the bank’s bill as ‘“‘wanton, un- provoked and indefensible.” . Remarkable Situation Bisclosed. “When Mr. McAdoo became secre- tary,” said Mr, Untermyer, “he found that the vice president of the Riggs bank was an official of the National } City bank at $12,000 a year. What was the purpose of the National City in keeping a high salaried official with a staff in the capital of - tife nation? Investigation disclosed a remarkable situation. The secretary found that in 1897, the now president | of the National City resigned as as- sistant secretary of the treasury and, o0 RIGGS BANK ¢ 3 TWHL G. #755DO0O _.JOHN SKELTON WILLIAP. was succeeded by the new vice pres- ident of the Riggs bank. It is well known that the National City is a large tender of call loans on the Stock Exchange. “From 1898 to 1913 the National City was recciving funds of the United States on deposit and paid no interest. At times, from one-fourth to one-tenth of all the deposits of the United States in national banks was in the National City, and of these funds it held at times twelve and thirteen million dollars. 1 To Cut Pipe Line. “When ‘Mr. McAdoo took ‘office he purposed to cut that pipe line and to use government deposits, not to stimulate stock market speculation through the National City bank,' but to serve the commercial needs of the country.” Events Tonight High srade photo.play at Fox's ' Moving pictures and vaudeville at Keeney's. ‘ Banquet of ‘the’ Young People’s so- ciety of the First church at 7 o’clock. % 1 Meeting of Andree lodge, 1.

Washington, May 19.—Germany has sent to a prize court the case of the American sailing ship Willlam P.
