two additional judicial circuits to
become a fact without his approval.
The governor vetoed the bill Great

London, June 17.-The German
against the Russians is
violent attack in Rus
sian Poland. At the same time the
Germans are pushing back the Rus
slams in the Baltic Provinces and Ga
lacia. The Austrians are aiding on
the Galacian battle line. An official
communication from Petrograd ad-
mits that the Germans have occupied
additional villages near Shawl in the
Baltic region but asserts that the
Russians have regained lost ground
near Przemysl. 1t is in the latter
vicinity which is near Warsaw that
the Germans are apparently making
their most determined effort on the
Polish front.
Official advices from Italian army
headquarters say the Italians are
gaining advantages all along the
Austro-Italian front. Turkish troops
on the Gallipoli peninsula have TAX
en- the offensive. An official state
ment from Constantinople says heavy
losses have been inflicted on the
French and British but an announce

TURKISH sNIPERs ACTIVE
(By Associated Press, J


Athens, June ia great propor-
tion of officer losses to the French
and English forces in the Dardan-
elles are due to the activity Of the
Turkish snipers, who have SPECIAL
instructions to pick out the officers.
A correspondent with the French
force writes:
"The danger to officers in this
part of the peninsula from snipers
is very great. Parties Of ten or
twenty Turkish sharp-shooters crawl
past our lines at night and either
hide in a tree or get into an aband-
oned trench or shell hole. There
they lie concealed from view, wait
ing for an opportunity to snipe at
some isolated officer passing within
range of their rifle. They are in
structed to disregard firing upon
private soldiers IL it involves any
danger to themselves, but to miss no
chance to bring down an officer.
"In many cases the sniper's eager
ness for this duty Is assisted by
stories of the huge loot to be OBJ
tained from the pockets of the off,
GERS. Some of the snips who have
been caught were found with large
sums of British and French money.

FPW0RTh LEAGUE CONFERENCE
CANE TO CLOSE LAST Night

and urge that the pledges made by
the districts and local chapters be
paid early in the League year.
The committee appointed early in
the session to inquire into the Anas-
tasia proposition as a place of meet
ing for the League Conference, re-
ported adversely to taking the
League Conference to Anastasia. The
matter of "a place for holding the
next session Of the League confer
ence was left in the hands of the
State League officers.
Next to the election of officers the
most exciting part Of the League
conference at this session was
the awarding of the banners, which
occurred this afternoon. The points
were so close between the Tampa
Heights Senior League and the Wal
do League that it was difficult to de-
, eide the question, and so the confer
ence voted to present each one OF
these Leagues with a banner. The
Junior was awarded to the St. Pc
tersburg League and the district
banner to the Tampa district, where
e. A. Gallagher, the district secre-
tary, has done such splendid work.
Ut was decided not to award any
more banners, but to issue seals to
the League chapters reaching the
standard Of efficiency adopted by the
General League Board and ratified by
this conference. A committee, con-
sisting of the president, Mr.. Evans,
10. E. Ric and J. E. Lewis, were
INSTRUCTED to prepare suitable blanks
for making the reports at the next
conference, SO as to conform to the
standard of efficiency.
Rain interfered with the automo-
bile ride planned by the Board OF
Trade, and that enabled the confer
ence to close it's business last night
