RUSSIANS FORCING
ISSUE IN THE EAST
Make Advance in Riga Region and
Inflict Heavy Loss on Ger
man Forces.

The Servians in the north are still
in retreat before the Austro-Hunga-
rians and Germans, having fallen back,
according to their latest communica-
ton, to defeusi&e positions to the south
and east of Kralievo and to the east Of
Ivagnitza, which would indicate that
the fears expressed in an Italian news
paper dispatch that they might be cut
off ire unfounded.
Nothing has come through to show
the existing situation in the south,
where the Anglo-French forces are CO.
operating with the Serbs against the
Bulgarians.
The Russians are forcing the fight
ing east of Riga and an advance has
been made by them to the west of
Raggatz. Heavy losses we're suffered
by the Germans in the fighting around
Kemmern, as likewise was the case in
the district of Ixskul1, where ten Ger
man attacks were repulsed.

In southern Serbia the fortunes Of
war are less anspicious for the in'gad-
ers. There the Bulgarians apparently
have received severe check from the
Serbians, assisted by French and Brit
ish troops.
No official confirmation has been re-
ceived, however, of decisive defeat
of the Bulgarians who are attempting
to advance into Macedonia through Ba-
buna pass. South of Strumitsa the
French are fighting on Bulgarian soil.

ton of the Greek. cabinet has been met
temporarily, and if the chamber OF
deputies accepts the new Scouloudis
ministry, the present status may be
continued Indefinitely, with no change
in the announced policy Of Greece, now
reiterated, of, benevolent neutrality.
On the eastern front severe, but in
decisive fighting continues before Riga
and Dyinsk. The offensive movement
of the Russians in Galicia, along the
Stripa. has been halted and the long
battle in that region mas ended. There
are no developments of Importance on
the Other fronts.

Little fighting has been going on

EARTH SHOCKS FELT
IN CALIFORNIA
Cause Damage Estimated at $780,
900 i'm Southern Part of the
State.

Ell Centre, Cal, June 23.-Sharp
earth shocks today centered the
anxiety of Imperial Valley settlers on
the head gates of the great irrigation
system which has transformed nearly
900 acres of desert. Tonight the
intakes of the Colorado river, near
Yuma, and the headway at Sharp's
were reported safe although the
Sharp's Heading was shaken and
sagged.
Engineers reported that another
shock as severe as the ono that last
night rocked the little cluster of
towns in the valley and cost half a
dozen or more lives in the Mexican
border town of Mexicali. undoubted-
ly would wreck the works there.
Scientists appear to agree that last
nights shocks lay along the line of
what is known as the San Andreas
Fault in the earth's formation which
was involved in the north-central
California earthquake of 1906.
Damage estimated at 100000 was
done in the district extending rough
ly from the shoulder of the Cocopah
mountains of Lower California to San
Bernardino and Needles. Cal. on the
north, Yuma on the east, and San
Diego on the west
The zone where the tremors were
felt most centered about CaleXico and
Mexicali where the free revelry of a
frontier collection sof saloons and
dance halls was halted when the first
shock put out the lights and where
all the fatalities occurred.
The loss at Calexico was estimated
at something less than 100000.
Several fires at Calexico added to
the damage done there by the quakes,
which threw the municipal water
tank off it's 60-foot tower. The col
lapse of the tower deprived the town
OF water pressure and the fires
burned several residences and two
business buildings
North of Ell Centro the damage
was comparatively light. Towns
further up the valley suffered slight
ly. No damage was done outside of
the valley. 49,.
Meager reports brought here by
train and automobile said that six or
seven men ana women had been kill
ed at MeXicali and that the bodies Of
two men had been taken from the
debris and identified.
Strict guard was established in the
/ various towns as soon as the uuakes
began. Special deputies here and at
CaleXico a troop of United States
cavalry which had been patrolling
the border, kept order and protected
property. Across the line Col. Esta-
ban Cantu, the Mexican commandant
| established martial law.

TEUTONS IN POSSESSION
OF GAL|C|AN CAPITAL
Lemberg Held by Russians Since
September Has Fallen.
RETIRE IN GOOD ORDER.
Russians Are Said to Have Effected
Retirement With Minimum Losses.
Berlin and Vienna Celebrate.

London, June 23.-The Russians
have lost Lemberg. They occupied
the Galician capital early in Septem-
Der and held it continuously until
Tuesday, when the combined Austro-
German forces compelled them to re-
treat from the city, which is only
siXty-odd miles due west from the
nearest point of the Russian frontier.
Whether the fall of Lemberg
means that the Russian army operat-
ing south of it in southeast Galicia
is effectively cut off from the army
to the north stretching across Poland
to the Baltic, cannot yet be said
Vienna and Berlin newspapers sav
this is the case and that the Russian
arms have received blow from
which they cannot recover.
If the stroke proves us crushing as
the Teutons predict, it's effect, mill
tary observers here say, soon should
be felt in the transfer of vast German
forces to the west, where for DAYS
they have been hard pressed by the
French
Up to 10:30 O'Clock tonight Petro
grad had not conceded the fall of
Lemberg. Previous dispatches from
the Russian capital, however, related
details of what purpcrted to be the
systematic withdrawal of the Rus
slams from the town and if these de-
tails should prove correct it is be-
lieved in military circles here that

value.
kilograms from Vienna concern
ing the capture of Lemberg and re-
counting the celebration of the popu..
lace in Vienna over the victory add
that the Austrian correspondents
with the Teutonic armies pay tribute
to the magnificent rear guard action
fought by the Russians, who are de-
clared to have retreated eastward in
good order, leaving behind few pris-
oners and even removing the Russian
| documents from the city, which,
since the Russians occupied it, has
been called by them Lwow.
One telegram from Vienna saws

The news of the fall of Lembers
was known on the continent yester-

SAYS He WILL NOT
TREAT WITH VILLA
CarranZa Will Continue Efforts
to Crush Opposition.
CLAIMS VICTORY IS NEAR.
President Wilson Finds Little Hope
For Accommodation of Differ
ences Between Chiefs.

Washington, June 23.-General
Carranza has informed the United
States that under no circumstances
will he treat with General Villa, and
he will continue his military cam
paign to crush his adversaries.
President Wilson had a long report
today on Carranza's views as given
in informal conversation with an
American consular officer at Vera
Cruz. He found in it little hope for
an accommodation of differences he
tween the Mexican factions. Car.
rama reiterated that his was not a
campaign for the elevation of per-
sonalities, but for the principles of
the revolution, that his opponents
were "reactiOnaries" and desirous
only of satisfying personal ambitions.
Carranza declared he soon would
dominate the situation and would
| grant amnesty to all who were not
guilty of crimes. Villa and his as
sociates, however, according to Car
rama, either must leave the country
cr be tried by military court.
Carranza's views did not surprise
officials here, as he consistently
ignored all offers Of peace made by
the Villa-Zapata faction as we'll as
suggestions of foreign mediators.
1t is recognized in official quarters,
however, that there is a possibility
that Carranza does not understand
the earnestness of the United States
in demanding an early settlement of
the trouble in Mexico. Charles Loug-
les and Eliseo Arredondo, representa-
tives here of General Carranza, will
leave on Friday for Vera Crup to CON
fer further with the first chief. They
are familiar with the American point
of view.
No advices have been received Off
cially as to the outcome of reported
differences between Carranza and
