Worthy the Success Realized.

One week ago tonight was held an
old fashioned camp fire at the Legate
Post hall, the only one for several years.
1t was a success and worthily so. Not

substantial and rich-was served for
only 25 cents. $3.50 was netted the Post.
This in way tells the largeness of the
number who toasted at the laden tables.

more people partake of supper in the

GERMAN ADVANCE
NOT YET HALTED
Petrograd Says There Are Signs
AuStro German Effort is
Losing Its MOmentum-The
Greatest Battle of All.

PETROGRAD. May p. - Although
there are signs that the supreme Aus
tro-G German effort on this front is los
ing its momentum. il Is premature TO
assume that the turning point of the
great battle has been reached or that
the enemy viii not make even further
progress before he is finally brought
TO a standstill.
The enemy is still pushing forward
north of JarOslau and on the flank
Of Przemysl. where he has succeeded
in capturing some of the front
trenches near GussakOff. II miles
southeast of the fortress.
Elsewhere on main front the Rus
slams are holding their own while on
the TANKS. on the left bank OF the
Nistula and in Bukowina they con-
tinue 10 drive the enemy before them.
ONLY now can we fully realize the
stupendous nature Of the plan of the
AuStro- Germans TO paralyZe the mill
tary power of Russia and SO leave
themselves free to deal with the allies
in the west.
The present battle. both i'm strength
of forces engaged and the expenditure
OF ammunition exceeds all other fea-
lures OF this war.
on the main section from the Wis
tula to BukOwina the enemy is be-
lieved to have deployed 100000 men
while his total present strength on
this front is estimated at double that
number Merely in the Galician ad-
vance he brought up 1000 guns and in
a few days had discharged something
like 100000 shells.
1t is authOritatively stated that En-
peror William is at present in the
Jaroslau district personally directing
the operations. 1t is expected that
he will remain there until the ques-
ton of Italy's position in the war is
finally decided. when "A Encouragement
of the Austro- German armies may be
necessary.
The other chief leaders of the enc
my's forces are Generals Marwitz,
Won Mackenzen, Voyersch and Dankl.
Gen. Won Hindenburg is believed now
to be on the western front The enc
my is still adding TO his numbers, but
his losses have been great
At the beginning of last week when
the fighting was comparatively sub
dued the casualties of the Austrians
and Germans averaged 10000 daily
and some of the regiments had been
reduced TO a single company. Alto
gether ii is computed that between
one-third and One-fOurth of his in
fantry already have dropped out OF
line. These figures include 10000
prisoners. About a score of guns also
have been captured and hundreds
more have been left behind in earlier
position either because the teams
were killed or starved or because it
was impossible TO keep up the supply
of ammunition for this vast force of
artillery.
In authoritative military circles it is
stated that the situation as a whole
is quite satisfactory for the Russians.
Though the enemy may gain further
territorial advantage il is exceedingly
improbable that any of the troops now
engaged in Galacia ever will be in
front
