EMBERG HAS
BEEN CONQUERED
Taken by the TeutoniC Allies After Severe Battle
Driving Out of Russians in GaIicia Is Expect
ed to Have Far-ReaChng Effect on Balkan
States

BERLIN. June %. - Lemberg has
been conquered after a very severe
battle, according to an official report
received from the headquarters of the
Austfio- Hungarian army.
The Galician capital fell before the
advance Of the second army.
Lemberg was occupied by the Rus
slams Sept. ,, 1914, in the course of
the early Russian drive into Austria.
For the past 20 days Lemberg has
been the objective of a series of fierce
and concentrated attacks.
Their success, the Austrians and
Gc.mans believe, will have a far
reaching political effect, as the driy-
ing out of the Russians from Galicia
is counted upon to help maintain the
status quo in the Balkans.
The capture Of Lemberg was one OF
Che earliest important successes of
the Russians. Following it they push
ed onward rapidly in Galieia and ap-
preached within striking distance OF
Cracow close to the German frontier
They stormed the heights and passes
Of the Carpathians, which separated
Galicia from Hungary, and to the east
swept down through Builowina.
All this has been changed by the
succession Of Austro-German vietorie:
Of the last few weeks. The change be
gan with the launching of grca
drive from CracOw eastward.
Great numbers of troops were sen
in to assist the Austrians. The us'
of artillery by the Teutonic allies ha
been described by correspondents a
on scale never before undertaken
while the Russian defense was Grip
Piled by shortage of shells.
Russia had made plans for perma
nent occupation Of Galicia. Lember
was rcchristened by its old Russian
Polish name of Lvov. The city has
population Of about 100000.

SHORT TROUT FINES
AMOUNT TO $1,000
Fish and Game Deputies Catch Many
Misunderstanding Site Wanted
In Windham County.

LGNDONVILLE, Vt, June % - If
short trout fishermen continue their
activities for the remainder of the open
season with the same diligence thew
have thus far displayed this season the
state of Vermont viii be able to 90
into the money loaning business. The
total fines imposed upon fishermen
the past week viii approximate $1,000
and there are yet several eases to be
disposed of.
Fish and Game Commissioner John
.G. Titcomb says that his deputies are
determined to reduce the mortality
among short trout and that every fish
Ierman caught with ille9al-sized fish
i'll his creel must pay the penalty.
The commissioner said that one of
the strongest features of the new fish
ing law is the penalty for whipping a
stream without a license. Another de-
terrenE is the revocation of a fish
erman s license. Both of these Sec
tions of the law make ordinary fisher
men chary about taking chances.
The commissioner viii have an ex-
Ipert come to Windham county this
week to investigate sites for propoga-
tion stations. After the expert has
reported to Mr.. Titcomb the latter will
make q tour of the county to select
sites.
Commissioner Titcomb says that per.
sons desiring fish for stocking streams
another season should make application
at once in order to have their requests
Igranted next year.
The fish and game department is
sending to town clerks the new
licenses. With the licenses will be
sent a pamphlet of the fish and game
laws of which 100, 900 have been print
led In addition to this literature the
commissioner is sending out cloth anC
paper placards bearing copies of The
law for posting.

The trial of Felix Buchanowski and
Mrs Salewisli for the murder of Frank
husband of the woman, is pro-
crossing slowly. Many Of the witnesses
are unable to speak English and an inter

and now felt badly. He also told her
they had taken out his stomach and or
gans He said she turned pale and

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

Lemberg, capital of Galicia, has
fallen before the Austro-G German armies
which have been sweeping across the
province the past few months. Austria
has now reclaimed most of the prov
ince of Galicia. The Russians are re-
ported to have withdrawn most of their
forces and supplies from Lemberg, the
fall of which had been regarded in Pet
rograd several days as imminent
South of Lemberg in the Dneister a
strip of Austrian territory is still in the
hands of the Russians. An official
statement from Petrograd reports an
important victory after a battle along
the river which lasted several DAYS. A
few miles northwest of Lemberg near
the Bukowina border other Russian sue
cesses are claimed.
The Italian general staff announce
the arrival of important reinforce
ments for the Austrians along the
Isonzo front north of the gulf of
Trieste. In the Montenegro district
forces believed by the Italians to have
been brought III from the Galician
front were encountered for the first
time in battle in which the announce
ment says they were repulsed by the
Alpine troops. An unofficial despatch
from Geneva says the Italians have
captured all the positions surrounding
Malborgeth and are bombarding the
fortress itself.
Five Swedish steamers bound for
England with lumber were captured
by German warships in the Baltic sea.

easion of great portent to them, mark
ing their entry into a broader sphere
of hfe-in a word, their commence
ment. 1t was, rs always, an occasion
of much interest to not only the par
ents of the seniors but also TO the
townspeople in general, and brought
out an audience of very large proper
tions.
The commencement speaker was Prof
George Clarke Cox of the department
of philosophy at Dartmouth college,
who placed before the audience a broad
vision of the object of education, which
he held to be self-realization, or the
desire to develop oneself along individ-
ual lines and to accumulate sufficient
ly to enable one to be independent in
thought and action. It was an excel
lent address and one which the stu
dents could appreciate.

wac yn1nior High school

REORGANIZATION OF education un-
der the Junior high school plan or
something similar Is definitely un-
der way, according to Prof ii.
Briggs, whose review of secondary
education has just been issued by the
United States Bureau of Education.
\, The junior high school has been de-
fined "as an organization of grades
seven and eight or seven to nine to
provide means for Individual diff
ferences, especially by an earlier In
PRODUCTION OF prevocattonal work and
Of subjects usually taught in the
high school, . There are now fifty
seven cities IN the United States
where junior high schools are or
ganized in unmistakable form.
,,ttOne advantage claimed for the
Briggs, ''fs that 1t groups children
SO that subjects seldom taught In
the grammer grades may be intro
duced. thereby giving each pupil as
more intelligent understanding OF
the, work of the world. of the pos
sibilities In the subject in the pupil
himself.
The junior high school also makes
easier the transition of pupils to the
high school That the change be-
tween the elementary and the high
no justification. To bridge this ga d
by earlier introduct!aa TO high sch00I
subjects and methods Of teaching has
greatly improved results, it is claim
ed.
..The Junior high school has fur
thermore greatly decreased elimina;-
ton of pupils from school. The elm
ination after the seventh, eighth and
ninth grades has been one OF the
greatest reproaches to our educa-
tfonal system. Any plan that
promises to retain children in school
beyond these grades is worthy of
the most careful copsideration."
The statistics given by Dr. Briggs
show that much larger per cent of
students enter high school where
Junior high schools exist than be-
fore they were organized.
That the junior high school fur
nishes an opportunity for various
needed reforms in Instruction is the
final claim of the new movement,
according to DR.. Briggs. He points
out that in the junior high school a
course Of study based on the newer
principles of psychology. sociology,
and economies, various provisions
for Individual differences and espe-
cially an improved method of teach
ing can ow be Introduced.
