ALLIES GAINS IN THE WEST
OFFSET BY EASTERN DEFEATS
LONDON, June 10. — The continual
allied gains In the western war arena
are almost completely offset by the
Hussion losses in the east, according
to military opinion. It is pointed out,
howevpr, that the great operations of
the Austro German forces in the Gali
cian section are of the most costly
nature and the losses in the recent ad
vance on Pr/.emysl are out of all pro
portion to the advantage gained. Pet
.rograd dispatches state that the Rus
sian troot's are lighting most stubborn
jl.v and every Austrian gain is accom
plished at an enormous sacrifice --t
i men.
The main lighting is now developing
smith of Stl'i and il is believed that
tlie final development of the Austrian
offensive will la- checked in that re
gion. The allied offensive on lla- west
is developing and fighting is practically
continuous along the entire batllpfront
with i continuation of the recent gains
of the French along the center and
right wing. The combined Belgian and
, British forces north of Arras are stead
j iI> forcing tin* Germans from their po
sitions. artillery action being largely
j employed in the attacks.
Line after line of the German
trenches have been carried b\ the
French after savage fighting east of
Reims and along the wooded region
in Argonne and it is generally indicated
that unless the Germans are soon rein
forced they will he compelled to retire
along the line from Reims to Verdun
The German lines below Leilas see ar*
also being subjected t«* hu»lV\ pressiii'
Imt gains are difficult owing to tin* su
P«*rior positions of the enemy.

GERMANY MAKES
SERIOUS CLAIM
WASHINGTON, June ID. The far
reaching claim of the right to destroy
any American or other neutral vessel
worrying contraband to the enemy pro
viding that adequate indemnity is paid
for the act is the principal contention
af the second note of Germany in rela
tion to the Fry ease, according to an
announcement given out hv Acting
Secretary Lansing late this afternoon.
The German reply has created some- !
thing of a sensation in the official
world as gyving a hint of the future
intentions of the German government
The papers are loud in their denuncia
tion of the German statement asserting
that its enforcement will result in
driving American commerce from
Northern European waters. So far no
official intimation of the attitude of the
administration has been given out but
it is generally conceded that Wilson
will enter a vigorous denial of the G» r
man claim. It is (he general feeling
that the relations of the two countries
arc rapidly becoming nnu'e difficult
owing to the repeated insistanee of
Germany that she has the right to do
as she pleases with vessels entering
the' war zone.

OLAF SWENSON, KARLUK
HERO NEARLY PERISHES
The power schooner Polar Pear, in
command of Hie well known old timer!
Cupl. Louis Lime, dropped anchor in '
the roil listed nt six-thirty lost evening
after an eventful voyage from Seattle
by way of Siberia, during which time
the staunch little schooner underwent
a, variety of experiences, the rendition
of which forms a tale rivaling even the
strangest of thi• many strange tales
told by those who follow the sea.
Tlie little schooner left tTialo-ka
May first and headed for Mast Cape
for the purpose of hunting and trading
but was all but wrecked in a fierce
storm off Capo Navarin, Siberia: the
damage sustained required that the
vessel return to port for repairs. About
the same time, to add further to the
troubles, tlie second officer, Harry
Slade, died of an apoplectic stroke and
was buried at sea. On the return
journey to T'nalaska the vessel touch
ed at Xunlvnk Tsland to procure fresh
water and encountered (he crew of tlie
Japanese schooner Diaki Mam who
had wintered on Hie island following
tlie wrecking of their ship some time
during September. 1011. Capt. Lana
found tlie seven men in a pitiful con
dition. all suffering more or less from
frost bites received during the winter.
After treating them to the best of bis
ability, including the administering of
some rough and ready surgery. Capt.
Lane transported the men to Unalaska
whore the' were taken earn nf by the
marine hospital After placing the
vessel in simile to continue the voyage
(’apt. Lane again put to sea at the same
time the steamer t'onvin took up the
last stage of the jourip V to this elty
I hiring the time elapsing since leaving
T’nalaska, the Polar Rear has visited
the Siberian coast and reports meeting
the Corwin near Hast Cape. Cap! Lane
also brings news of a sad fatality to
the whal -r Rehaslere now tinder tho
■ mm.i ml of Capt. .1” himdsen, former
Iv mister of the King nml Winge, hy
which tin vessel losi four members of
her crew while King in Kamchatka
Ray. According to the story told by
Capt. Lino, Olaf Swenson, hero of the
Karlnk crew resi no. ingether with the
chief engineer of the Rplvedere and
four members of the crew were capsiz
ed while enroute to their ship in a
small boat. Swenson and the engineer
alone surviving, both reaching the
beach after a hard struggle in tho icy
water. Roth men were in a badly
exhausted condition by the time they
reached shore. Capt. Lnno states that
the four men who lost their lives were
Goo Tshester. Antonia Roderick, John
Domingo and an unnamed Russian.
Two of the men were good swimmers
and their failure to regain the shore is
unaccountable.
Lane also brings (be further sad in
formation that Capt. Wedding of the
gasoline schooner Ragle, which win lei
ed at the Kolyma River had the mis
fortune to lose one hand and also all
the fingers of the other hand bv freez
ing some time during the winter
The Russian mail boat Kolyma was
also frozen in the ice at the same point
Capt. Lane says that Inquiry on the
Siberian < oast discloses no trace of the
. tew of the missing schooner New Jer
sey as no strangers have been heard
of is far north as the journey extend
ed.
After cruising on the other shore for
some days the vessel was headed for
Nome and the remainder of the jour
ncv was devoid of incident. Capt Lane
states that little ice was encountered
and the sea was practically i lear in the
vicinity of Nome, fin coming to anchor
Customs Collector R W. J. Reed and
Dr. Neuman visited the vessel in the
interest of the government and found
everybody well and in good spirits.
The Polar Bear will remain in port
uTilil some time after the arrival of
the boats. When ice conditions permit
(he little vessel will continue on as far
nortii as Banks Land in an effort to
find some trace of the missing Stefan
sson party. Capt. Lane states that one
of his reasons for putting into this port
was the expectation of meeting Mrs
I.ane who was on the Victoria.
