 The greatest change was the second, which was made to meet the enormous withdrawals of deposits from banks by timid folk who feared that their little capital might be lost through possible panic caused by the war in Europe. With confidence in Uncle Sam they turned to the postal savings banks, only to find that $lO0 a month was all that would be accepted. Now, each depcsitor may put in $500 at time. and enjoy Sleep un- troubled by dreams of poverty
 By the raise of the maximum from s5o1 to s100o, even though only s500 bear in- terest. virtually all the little depositors can be accommodated and their minds De set at rest.
 Finally, the amendment to the federal reserve law will prevent. the withdrawal of about $17,000,000 of posta. savings from state banks and trust companies which have not yet applied for membership in the federal reserve system. In effect + will prevent the new law nuilfying the the old, and will enable all banks under state and federal supervision to retain this enormous aggregate of deposits

Our troops in the Lonthk, Dubno and Proskuroff districts crossed the frontier August 20, and marched on Lemberg to thwart the Austrian cov- ering movement and to act against the flank of the enemy. This offensive was Lampered by numerous affluents of the Dniester river. Moreover the enemy possessed on the Dniester a se- ries of Notifications destined to de- fend bridges from which they men aced the Russian left flank and com- munications with Russia.
 Left Wing Advances
 'In the period between August 17 and September 3, the Russian left wing advanced 220. versts (about AT miles), fighting all the time. The bulk of the hostile forces, entrenched in powerful positions at Kamenka and Galtch. offered battle. and were thor oughly defeated in a desperate contest.
 Between August 31 and September 1. in one district of the upper course of the Guilpa Lipa alone. where the enemys line was broken. the Aus trians lost 1900 in killed or wounded.
 The retreat of the enemy after his defeat at Lemberg was 'disorderly flight and panic, and the Russians took 200 guns, together with the baggage and tents of thousands of prisoners. It is believed the remnant of the sec- ond Austrian army is now no longer of any military value.
 Lemberg Surrounded
 "On September 2, when the Russians were drawing up within cannon shot of Lemberg. the surrounding forts did not stop this advance. The same day Lem- berg was closely surrounded by Rus sian troops and was captured with enormous quantittes of war materials. All the buildings in town were packed with Austrian wounded who had been abandoned in the enemy's headlong flight.
 Besides the political and military Importance of Lemberg as the center of Galicia. it's capture is important ~rrategically, as 1t constitutes a great railway junction, commanding the lines leading to the rear of the Aus trian army. which Is now halted in line with Opole. Gamostie and Rslz.
 The capture of Lemberg will en- able the Russian army to push for ward with still greater intensity"

Politics and the Judiciary


The fact that in this years pri-
mary and general elections there is a
vacancy to be filled on the supreme
bench Of the state, and several to be
filled on the state district bench.
makes it timely to remark that Min
nesota has never done anything finer
or more progressive than to take it's
judgeships out of politics., says the
Duluth Heard. Both supreme court
and district court judgeship candi-
dacies, thanks to this enlightened
wisdom, are thus placed beyond the
reach of sordid partisanship so far
as the election machinery goes
and it should be the pride and duty
of every citizen to see that they are
kept out of it's reach in practice
Whether a candidate for place on
the supreme or district bench be-
longs to this party or that, is affili-
ated with this party faction or an
other, or belongs to or is affiliated
with no party or faction at all, are
matters that ought not to- count at
all in the minds of the voters-ex-
cepting as candidates themselves, by
seeking to make partisanship We
hicle to carry them into office, may
invite the rebuke Of defeat. Theore-
tically, judgeships and partisan pe-
litics are absolutely divorced in Min
nesota. 1t should be 50 actually as
we'll as theoretically; and we believe
that it is 50 and will remain so.
