This Interval ap parently has been omp!oed not merely In refilling complements of men nnd muni tions, but also In tho regrouping of forces. Thus considerable fores have been sent ncross the Upper Vistula to strengthen tho German left, which, after Its defeat and puriult by tho Russians, had fallen back so far th.it nnj furthci movement eastward by the nuln heai. of the German phalanx.

"The German battering ram has been checked In its swing and every hour that passca necessarily weakens Its power to drive even directly forward. Tho task of keeping Kfl.OOO soldiers, who are massed Into a close phalanx on a narrow front, adequately supplied even with rations must tax tho entire resources of the Gor man transport service, apart from the vast stores of ammunition that may bo needed the moment tho advance is re newed." WEALTHY BREWER'S SON SPENDS 5 HOURS IN CELL William Weisbrod Accused of Nonsupport by Wife Held Under Bail. William Weisbrod, son of the wealthy brewer who died recently and who was said to be worth a half million dollnrs, spent nvo hours In a cell at tho 20th and Buttonwood streets station this morning, and then had a ride through the streets In a patrol wagon Weisbrod then was held under 3400 ball, accused of neglect and nonsupport, on charges prefer! ed by his wile, Mrs Lillian Weisbrod. About a week ago the young brewer, who Is a member of the firm of Weis brod & tfess, Frankford avenue and Adams street, was called on to provide M0 ball as the result of a. charge of as sault and battery preferred by his wife. Mrs. Weisbrod Is wealthy In her own right. She said she gave her husband money to buy an automobile. Ho did not buy the car, and when she asked for the money he struck her, she said. When Weisbrod reached the office of Magistrate Beaton, at 15th nnd Vine streets, about noon today In the patrol wagon, ho accused Constable Edward Duffy, who arrested him, of "trying to get some graft." Tho Magistrate Ignored the charge and It was not pressed. The constable explained that he went to Welsbrod's home, 1215 Westmoreland street, at 7 o'clock this morning, with a warrant. At first Weisbrod refused to come downstairs. Then he appeared lit his pajamas and began to upbraid the constable. There was an argument that resulted In Weisbrod being taken to the 20th and 'Buttonwopd streets station nnd locked In a cell. The wealthy young man remained there, locked up, until the hearing. Mrs. Wels lnod testified that he had not supported her for two years. She is tho daughter of John Bernhart. a wealthy saloonkeep er of 8lh street and Falrmount nvenuc, who died some time ago and left her a fortune. Tho couple lme one child, a boy 10 j ears old. It required considerable effort on the part of Pletro Fry to convince several customers that he was not in business for hlB health. Fry fries fish and bolls sau sages for tho benefit of patrons of his portable restaurant. Just as he arrived nt 18th street and Ridge avenue, Henry Ford, of Oxford and Cabot streets, called with six ot his friends and ordered a meal of fish cakes and frankfurters. Fry didn't like the attitude of the men and refused to start negotiations. "Your country's entered the fight in Europe," said Ford, "so I'm going to take your grub as con traband of war." Ford reached for a pan of sizzling "dogglea" while hla companions sur rounded the iish cakes. Pletro seized a fnlng pan and described a circle, as he used hla heel for a centre, Three of the enemy fell and the others were about to attack Fry when Policemen Raleigh arrived. He scored three knockdowns in short order and dropped one of the enemy Jnto a pan or fried eggs. Raleigh held on to Ford when the others ran and took him to the 19th and Oxford streets station. For some peculiar reason Ford thought be bad been greatly Impoced upon. Mag istrate Morris couldn't see It that way and gave very emphatic evidence of his vle by assigning the prisoner to the House of Correction for three; months. I'm drowmn" 8y me. quick!"

Their prepara tions are known to bo complete, however, and even thoso most confident of the ul timate victory ot the Italian forces ad mit that they will win only after desper ate fighting.

Twenty thousand German troops have passed through Salzburg toward the Ital ian frontier during the last 24 hours. These forces come from the western war theatre. Other German troops from the eastern theatre are rushing to the southern front through Innsbruck. An entire Austrian corps Is en loute from Silesia, whence 30 batteries have been transferred to Tren tlno. German 17-Inch guns have been placed in position near the Gradlsca and the surrounding district mined.

I roamed around till I came to the stable. I saw the carriage there and turned In for the night, I had a bad dream and thought I was on a sinking ship.

" Ambassador Page cabled: "British Admiralty has report from Qucenstown that Nebraskan Ib now on her' way to Liverpool under her own steam and escorted. Am sending naval attncho to Liverpool to examine ship, which It now appears was outward bound from Liverpool to Delaware Breakwater when torpedoed, t'onaut Frost, at Queenstown, reported: "American steamer Nebraskan struck mlno or torpedoed at 7 o'clock evening of 25th, 20 miles south of Fnstnet. Crew re turned to vessel at midnight, finding foro hold full of water. Now proceeding to Liverpool under own stcami admiralty patrol as convoy." CAPTAIN HAS NO THEORY. Tho Stato Department Is deeply Im pressed with tho fact that Captain Greene offers no theory as to tho causo of tho Injury to hla veescl nnd that ho docs not suggest that tho namo of tho vessel painted on her sldo was clearly discernible nt a distance In the dusk. This Is construed as Indicating a doubt In the mind of tho captain as to whether his ship was deliberately torpedoed. if it should develop that tho Nebraskan flying tho flag of tho United States, was torpedoed by a German submarine, tho present tonso relations between this coun try nnd Germany will bo nggravnted. Desplto tho fortunate fact that no Ameri can lives wero lost. If It bo shown that n deliberate attempt was made to sink the ship, It will be difficult for this Gov vernmont to condone In nny way the attack, Realizing the extreme seriousness of the situation, the President has decided there will be no Jumping at conclusions; the Admiralty's claim that Germans at tacked the ship will not bo accepted without proof. Ofuclals admit that If the Nebraskan was torpedoed by n German submarine In tho night and without warning, the act was n flagrant breach of neutrality to ward the United States Coming with tho Gulfllght, Cushing, Falaba, Lusltanla, and incidents still unexplained. It was an assault upon national honor that no ordinary apology can satisfy. The President Is handling tho case per sonally. All reports from tho Stato De partment's representatives aboard aro sent direct to his study. Copies go to tho other responsible officials. By the Presi dent's order there Is to bo no discussion of Intended action until alt facts aro known. German Embassy officials flatly declare they do not believe that a German sub marine waa In any way responsible for tho Nebrnskan's disaster. They say German submarine command ers are equipped with complete silhou ette drawings of all American merchant vessels trading with the other side, and insist that at this time of year It would have been very easy for a submarine, ly ing low In the water, to have recognized tho Nebraskan. In addition, they declare that as the steamship was proceeding In ballast, very high out of the water, and headed for tho United States, there would havo beep no object In sinking her Pioneer Coach Builder Dead ATLANTIC CITY, May 27.-Henry H.
