I4,8OO Austrian Dead
Buried by Russians;
Move on TO Lemberg

Petrograd, (St. Petersburg), Sept. 2.
via London, 11.55 A. NJ: The fol-
lowing official announcement was
made here to-day:
Our forces invading Galicia have
continued their advance in the direc-
ton of Lemberg. The enemy fell back
gradually before our troops. We cap
tured some cannon, some rapid fire
guns, and some caissons. The pursuit
continues.
Near (Guila (?) and Lips CD the
enemy occupied a strong position of
such natural strength that it was con-
sidered impregnable. They also des-
perately attempted to stop our ad-
vance by flanking attack in the di-
rection of Halurz CO.
I'VE repulsed the Austrians, inflict-
ing severe losses. We buried on the
battlefield 14.S00 Austrian dead, cap
tured a flag and 32 guns and a guam
tity of supplies, and made many pris-
oners, including a general.
"On the south front, in the War
saw district all the Austrian attacks
have been repelled with success AS
suming the offensive on our right wing
we forced the Austrians to retreat,
capturing three cannons, ten rapid fire
guns and over 1000 prisoners. Ac-
cording to statements made by the lat
ter the Austrian losses were very
heavy"

ROTHROCK j R GES
MORE CONSERVATION
Support For State Policy Of Forest
Reserves Must Be Given by
the Public Now

The dangers to which Pennsylvania
is subjected If the STATE policy of for
est conservation is not supported by
the people are being told to audiences
throughout the State by DIR. ]. T.
Rothrock, for years State forestry
commissioners, and father of State con-
servation of forests. DR.. Rothrock
was the man who started the purchase
of forest lands of which the Com
monwealth now owns more than
million acres and who was publicly
honored by Governor John K. Tener
for his conservation work at a notable
luncheon given here last Spring.
DIR. Rothrock is telling what the
State is doing and asking support for
lit. In a recent speech he set forth
what was needed.
The State is not yet entirely desc
late" asserted DIR. Rothrock. but
one-seventh of the land. comprising
6.400 square miles, is absolutely in
waste. on this ground no agricultural
products can he grown and only for
ests can be raised at great expense.
These naked hillsides are the nurseries
both of floods and of droughts, and
the sterile tract is rapidly growing.
The United States is within less
than thirty years of timber famine
that will pinch every industry of the
nation. We must have forests to alb
sorh the rainfall. so that floods will
not pour down upon fertile lands. and
so that water for electrical power
shall not be wasted. But unless tracts
like the desolate areas of Pennsylva-
mia are planted with timber at once
we will be placed in a position where
we will have not even lumber enough
to build houses or to manufacture ar
ticles of daily use. The State of Penn
sylvania leads the Union in forestry
methods. but ii is not doing enough.
It takes fifty years to grow a forest.
and the arid tracts are widening year
by year.
European nations have learned to
their cost what spoliation of forests
means, and we can profit by their ex-
periences. Larger appropriations than
have ever been made are needed for
forest restoration and for the forest
reserves. which are to be forever the
property of the State and the outing
grounds of its people. The desolate
area of the State formerly was COW
cred by forests. 1t is there that the
State can make its best beginning to
provide for the economic safety of the
next generation"
