Three young men confessed todny that
their nrreat tor robbing the Hebrew Or
phans' Home, 12th street nnd Queen lane,
was the only thing that stopped them

pose of which was to rob. They had ob
tained Important assets nt the home, a
suitcase full of tools, with which to brrak
Into houses In Gcrmantown.
Victor N'efT, Itl years old, used to work

AVSTRO-GERMANS LAUNCH NEW
OFFENSIVE ON RAWKA-BZURA FRONT
Poisonous Gases Overpower Slavs in Drives Against South Poland
Rivers Stryj Wrested From Russians, Who Lose
Three Forts Defending Przcmyst on North,
Petrograd ofllclally admits a' violent

according to tho War OfTlce the Teu
tons have been benten back nt Forts
No. 7 nnd No. 11.
Apparently tho Austro-Oerinnn left
wing Is attempting iv supplementary
movement In the old wnr zone of tho
South Poland lllver. This supports tho
main Germanic campaign in Onllcln,
and holds large forces back from re
inforcement of Przemysl.
Austro-Germans, according to the
latest Vienna nnd Berlin reports, hnvo
triumphed nt two of their objectives In
the Qallcla sweep eastward. Threo of
the fortts girdling Przemysl as north
ern defenses have been captured. StryJ,
Important centre of tho StryJ Valley
and dominating routes to tho Carpath
ians, has been wrested from tho Slavs.
Unofficial reports state the Russians
have been forced out of Rddom, 67
miles south of Warsaw.
The French have driven the Ger
mans from tho town of Ablaln. By a
bayonet charge, tho French took tho
cemetery outalde the town and then
Ablaln Itself. Four hundred German
surrendered and ran to the French
lines, pursued by a hall of bullets from
German rapid-fire guns.
Southeast of Ntuvltlo the French
have taken several German positions

PETROGRAD, June 2.
On the left bank of the Vistula, during
tho night of May 30-31, the enemy devel
oped a very nctlvo nrtlllery fire over the
whole front north of the Plllcn, the War
Office admits.
About 4 o'clock In the morning, under
the cover of n thick curtain of smoke nnd
with the extensive u?e of poisonous gases,
the enemy nttocked in force Russian po
sitions on the Bzura River near Wltkow
Icc, Brohow, Socheczew nnd Koslow. The
attacks were characterized by extraordi
nary Intensity. Other attacks were de
livered against positions on the lower
Rawka River, In tho vicinity of Mlzcrkn,
nnd Wola and Szydlowska.
So vast was the quantity of the poison
ous fumes released thnt the effect was
perccptlblo 20 miles behind the Russian
front. But in spite of this fact all the
German attacks weie lepulsed.

ITALIAN OFFICERS
HERE CALLED HOME
Residents in Downtown Colony
Receive Letters Demanding
Their Services;
Italians In this city w'io are ofTleers of?
reservists have rocotved letters from
Rome notifying them that they must re
turn lo their native country to take their
plnces In the forces at the front.
Among those who have received these
letters aro Doctor Kramer, ft druggist at
lllh nnd Tasker streets, who, In spite of
his Germnn name, Is nn Italian: Lieu
tenant Costnntlnc, one of the editors of
L'Oplnlone, nnd Dr. V. e Vlrgllls, a
dentist.
The letters came as somewhat of a sur
prise, ns It had not been expected that a
call for reservists In America would be
sent out for several weeks. It is believed
to Indicate that Italy Is preparing to
throw Into the field her full strength,
particularly In view of tha fact that some
of the men who havo been summoned are
lti their thirties, and therefore In classes
that would not be called Into action at
the beginning of the war.
SUIT OVER OLD RACE TKACIC
Threo Philndelphians Contest David
Bnird's Claim for Gloucester
Speedway.
Suit to clear tho title to the old Glou
cester City race track, fnmouB In days
gone by ns a mecca for the sporting fra
ternity of the East, was brought today
In Chnncery Court In Comdcn by David
Balrd, Republican leader of South Jersey.
Three Philndelphians contest his claim.
Balrd, In his declaration, claims title
through a deed made out by Henry J.
West, trustco of tho bankrupt estate of
the late William J. Thompson, of Glou
cester City, Democratic leader. Tho deed,
which was executed October 15, 1313, Is
antedated by a deed of purchuso convey
ing the property to the late J. R. Brick,
September 25, 1S51. Three of his descend
ants, Conrad Brick, 2X33 Vino street, Mrs.
Matilda Everhardt, 1707 Rnco street, and
Mrs. Fannie Cnssldy, 1850 North 17th
street, claim seven and three-quarters
ncres of the property. They declare
Thompson obtained possession of the
tract through foreclosure proceedings on
n mortgage which was not acted on for
3? cars, thus making the subsequent
transfer void. Vice Chancellor Backes,
of Trenton, will decide the ense.
The tract, which is situated ori Little
Timber Creek, south of Gloucester City,
has a problematical value. One man con
versant with realty values placed It at
$50,000, but other widely diverging esti
mates hnvo been made. Tho mile track
was abandoned about 10 years ago, when
roclng was legislated out of Now Jersey
It Is surrounded by many deserted struc
tures, Including a number of hotels.
