VANCNG GERMANS UNDER Won

Austrians Must Receive Reinforce

iy But Surely.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, June 29.-The Russian
center in Galicia is rapidly reforming
behind the river Gnilalipa, and are
now in a position to check the advance
of the victorious Austro- German army
under General Won Linsingens. Rein
forcements have been hurried to the
Russians and what has been heralded
as rout may be turned into VIC
tory by the Cars troops within a few
days.
The retreat of the Russians has
strengthened the German hold on CAL
icia. Lemberg is now far removed
from the war zone and may be used
by the Austro-Germans as an imoprt-
ant supply base.
Vacation Time in France.
D Fruitless lighting isAreported from
France, where both armies are seem
ingly resting, with the exception of
the forces between Arras and the sea.
Here the French positions are being
bombarded by the Germans. The re-
inforcements promised the Germans in
France have so far failed to make
their appearance.
In the south, the Austrians face a
difficult problem, according to Rome
dispatches. Trieste, an important sea-
port, is in danger of falling into the
hands of the advancing Italians, un-
less the Austrians receive reinforce
ments from Galicia. Vienna states
that it is impossible to withdraw SOL
dier from that district. The Italians
are making slow progress, but their
gains each day are formidable.
According to official dispatches from
Constantinople the Anglo-French
troops spent all of Monday lombard
ing Turkish positions on the Gallapol-
ian peninsula. Their efforts were un-
successful, according to Turkish
claims.

Inspection Soon to Be in Effect.

inspection Soon to Be in Effect.
State inspection of stationary boil
ers soon will be an actually in Wis
cOnsin. Three years ago the industrial
commission made beginning in this
important work and before long it will
adopt the entire set of rules to be
known as the Wisconsin boiler code.
This code has been drawn up and will
be adopted and put into force upon di-
rection from the legislature The plan
is to utilize existing machinery for in
spections.
Insurance company inspectors, for
example. will continue to inspect boil
ers which are insured. They will re-
port to the commission and there will
be no charge to the owner other than
the customary premium paid to the En-
surer. The commissions inspectors
will inspect only those boilers outside
of Milwaukee which are not insured.
This is expected to eliminate the dan
ger of disastrous explosions
The industrial commission has de-
pended upon the advice of a special
committee of boiler experts, the mem
bers of which are Theodore Vilter.

MED by the Shutdown

Washington park, Milwaukee, for the
second exhibition by the Third bat
TALON, First regiment; Troop A, Bat
terry A, the First regiment machine

ing, members of the park board, and
other city officials reviewed the
maneuvers and drills.
Open drills by the cavalry under
Capt. Carl Penner, and of Battery A
under Capt. P. c. Westphal, created
the strongest impression with the Mil
waukee audience, it being the first
time that the largest percentage OF
the crowd ever saw American cavalry
or artillery in action. AS climax the
artillery gave a salute of seventeen
guns in honor of the governor, who is
commander of the Wisconsin militia

hibition with the machine guns, using
blank cartridges.

Rains Hinder Highway Labors.


Excessive rains throughout the state
have hindered seriously the work of
the highway department, according to
A. r. Hirst, chief engineer, but not
to such an extent that the plans out
lined will not be completed.
Mr.. Hirst says, however, that much
of the work cannot be as good as it
would have been had conditions been
more favorable, for it is impossible to
get best results when the base of the
work is wet and soft. But as a rule.
Mr.. Hirst said, the results will be quite
satisfactory.
Mr. Hirst is preparing to make an
exhibit of Wisconsin highway work at
the road congress to be held at Cedar
Rapids, Ia.
For instance, in the counties of
Rock, Waukesha, Washington, Milwau-
kee, Ozaukee, Winnebago and Calu-
met, 80 per cent of the highways are
in the class OF surface roads.
The counties having from so to 80
per cent of surface roads are Sheboy-
gan, Manitowoc, Kewaunee. Door,
Florence, Sank. Columbia, Dodge. Ra-
cine and Walworth.
Counties showing from As to so per
cent of the surfaced roads are La
Crosse, Ashland Marinette. Oconto,
Waupaca, Outagamie, Brown, Wash
burn. Green Lake. Fond du Lac, Dane,
Jefferson, Green and Kenosha.
