i PETROGRAD, via London, Sept. 4. The Russian general staff issued the following account of the fighting Wkich led to the capture of Lemberg, the capital of Galicia:
 Tn the offensive against Lublin
 Khom the front of the main Aus
 trian forces deployed on the Zavi : chost Tanoff Bielgoray, Tomachoff and Balz line. The second Austrian army, composed of the third eleventh and twelfth corps, and five divisions of cavalry. gathered in the region of ] East Lemberg to cover this operation. When the Russian troops were taking the offensive the Austrian concentration had not been com rleted and typographical considera tions compelled the enemy to rein foree the army still more with tiCops from the seventh, thirteenth 'and fourteenth corps, thus making to- tai of twelve divisions of several Erigades of Landsturm.
 Our troops in the Lonthik, Dubno and Proskureff districts crossed the frontier on August 20 and marched on Lemberg for the purpose Of tEwarting the Austrian covering movement. The action against the flank of their offense was hampered by the numerous affluents of the Dneister river flowing across all the routes
 Tn the period between August 27 and Septembe. the Russian left wing advanced 220 versts (about 147 miles,, fighting all the time. The bulk of the hostile forces entrenched in powerful positions at Kamenka and Galitzch offered battle and were thoroughly defeated in a desperate contest.
 Between August 31 and September 1 1 in one district of the upper course of the Guila Lipa alone, where the enemy's line was broken, the Austri ans lost 12,000 men in killed and
 wounded. The retreat of the enemy after his defeat at Lembe.g assumed | the character of a dsorderly flight and panic. The Russians took 200
 guns and tens of thousands of pris-
 oners. It is believed the remnant of
 the second Austrian army is nc
 longer of military value"
 On September ? when the Russians
 were drawing up within cannon shot
 of Lemberg the surrounding forts did rot stop this advance. The same
 day Lemberg was closely surrounded ! by Russian troops and captured with
 enormous quantities of war materials
 Beside the political and military l importance of Lemberg at the cen
 ter of Galicia, it's capture is very inn portant from a strategic point oi
 view as it constitutes a railway
 junction, commanding the lines lead
 ing to the rear of the Austrian army which is now halted in line witt Opole, Gamostie and Belz

 As these terms were almost pro- hibitive little money was issued. The market fo1 time loans continued nominal around eight per cent. Mon ey brokers see no indication of a pronounced hardening of the market unless the conflict be unduly prolong ed. A saving clause in the local sit uation, they say, is the fact that comparatively few loans to brokers have been called, while immediate needs of that element have been re- duced to slender proportions by the settlement practically of all business transacted on July 3.

 BOATS AT KEEL
Beside Those Reported to Have "Limped" into Port Others Are Understood to Have Been Sunk Near Kiel Canal
Associated Press Dispatch)

LONDON, Saturday, Sept. 5.-While official announce ments by the British and French authorities last night were to the effect that there had been no change in the situation, unofficial reports said the German right wing had been checked and forced to retire on St. Quentin on the River Somme, thirty miles northwest of Laon.
 That another naval en- gagement in the North Sea occurred seems poss ble from a statement issued by the London official press bureau.
 It is said that seven Ger man torpedo boat destrovers arrived at Kiel in a damaged condition and others are un- derstood to have been sunk in the "vicinity of the Kiel canal"
 In some quarters, how ever, it was suggested the vessels may belong to the German force engaged in the recent fight with the British off Heligoland.

 A dispatch to Reuters from Ostend says it is an nounced there that the Ger mans are bombarding Ter monds (Dendermonde), a fortified town, sixteen miles east of Ghent. The town has a population of about 10000.

Graduates of the Bemidji High

Seniors and Juniors of that institu-
ton at a ball which will he given
at the close of the school term. A

faculty interference has prevented
the Undertaking. of their plans.
Just what methods will be used to
raise the necessary funds to give the
ball has not been made known as
yet, but entertainments will UNI
coubtedly be given. This event will
undoubtedly be looked forward to
with anticipation by the members OF
both classes, as the majority of the
students appeared in favor of a
dance.
Owing to the fact that the faculty
has decided that a class party W ,u!d
be more proper than ball the jun
iors have become disinterested and
no action has been taken to raise
funds or to carry out any of the
plans made for the seniors enter
tainment.

SALARY RAISE NOT CAUSE
Additional Five Mills On City Taxes
Caused By Normal School Site And,
Retiring Outstanding Warrents
PIONEER WAS UNSUPPORTED

In it's story on the tax incr case
this year the Pioneer in last even
ing's issue explained the reasons ty
saying that the additional five mills
was caused by the purchase of the
Normal school site, additional sal
airy money and permanent improve
ments. g.
The statement insofar as the sal ,,y
item was concerned was an injustice
to the mayor and members Of the
city council who have worked hard
during the year for the welfare ana
progress OF the city. The Pioneer
was misinformed relative to the fact
of the matter, the truth of the In
crease being that mills was due to
the purchase of the normal site and
two mills for the purpose of retiring
outstanding warrants. There is ..;-
ular levy made each year for the
permanent improvements and no in
crease was made this year.
No salaries with the exception of
a five dollar janitor raise have been
increased for several years, it be.
ing. at that time that the Judge of
the municipal court, clerk of the
municipal court and city clerk re-
'ceived additions to their monthly
pay.
''The article appeared to be lit
tie unfair" said Mayor McCuaig,
''for it leads the people who are not
familiar with the conditions to be-
lieve that We are paying employees
of the city too much. AS a matter of
fact there is hardly an officer who is
not receiving less than those IF
Brainerd, Crookston or any other
cities of equal size." ~. ..
