claims the Russian advance con-
tinues and that the Austrian line is
giving way.
The Russians are now within less
than days march of Lemberg prop
er, the lines extending with Lemberg
as the center from Kamenka, north
east of Lemberg, through Glyniany to
Brzosodivitza 1t is along this line
that the fiercest fighting has taken
place.
The Austrians have attempted a
thanking movement in force through
Russian Poland by way of Kielce and
Iublin and troops have been detached
ITO cope with them.
However, according to the general
staff, the forward movement in Ga.

RUssIA's RAILWAY GAUGE.
It Was Made Narrow to Lessen the
Danger of Invasion.

It Was Made Narrow to Lessen the
Danger of Invasion.
There are several railway gauges
or widths between tire two rails Of the
track-in Europe. but in. the United
States and Canada it is possible for q
truck to travel from Prince Rupert to
New Orleans and from Quebec to San
Francisco without hindrance This was
accomplished at great expense some
twenty or thirty years ago. In Europe
the bulk of the mileage is the standard
four foot eight and half inch gauge
There are. however, some other gauges,
especially the meter gauge in France.
Belgium, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The most important exceptions are
in Spain and Portugal. where they
have nearly 10000 miles Of the five
foot six inch gauge, and in Russia and
Finland. where there are 10000 miles
Of the five foot gauge. This three and
one-half inches difference from the
standard was adopted by the Russian
government to avoid the dangers of
invasion.
The only connection between France
and Spain is at lrun. on the Biscayan
coast. but the Pyrenees are now being
pierced at more than one place. and Il
question Of conforming the gauge of
Spain and Portugal to that OF the bulk
of Europe has acknowledgment
