RUSSIANS LOSE
IMPORTANT POST
AF TER LONG SIEGE
WIRELESS FROM BERLIN INFORMS
UNITED STATES OF FALL OF I'M.
PORTANT FORTIFIED CITY IN
POLAND-RUSSIANS IN FULL
RETREAT
-Four Severe Battles Fought by Con.
tending Armies Before Russians Can
BE Beaten Off-PetrOgrad Silent as
to Fall of City.
(By Associated Press.)

SAYVLLE, N. j., (via wireless from
Berlin) June 23.-Lemberg has been
conquered from the Teutonic allies
and the Russians have been driven
back from this important post. This
information was issued today from
headquarters and is authentic and re-
liable.
Four severe battles were fought be-
fore the city could be taken. The Rus
SLAMS resisted stubbornly and lost
heavily before retiring. They are in
retreat now with the Austro-G German
army in pursuit. 1t is thought the
Russians will fall back to a secondary
line of trenches, and there oppose any
further advance by the Kaiser.
Lemberg is an important Polish
city, and possession of it gives the
hCJ " WuOlC GOuu
try. The Austro-German force is
now in position to clear Poland of
every Russian soldier.
The defense of Lemberg is charac-
terized as stubborn, in reports from
the Austro-German headsuarters. The
Russians defended the city with bull
dog tenacity and were only forced to
retreat after losing heavily. Many
prisoners were taken by the victor
ious army.
Petrograd remains silent about
Lemberg and so far has neither con.
firmed nor denied the official reports
from Berlin.

EARTHQUAKE FELT
IN CALIFORNIA

CALOCICO, Cal, June 23.-Martial
law has been declared here and in
Mexicali, just across the Mexican
border, as a result of the havoc
wrought in both cities by an earth
quake that paid visit here Tuesday
night Three distinct shocks were
felt and at least a dozen people were
killed by falling houses. Many were
injured.
The quake practically demolished
Mexicali, according to Mexican refu-
gees, who arrived here this morning
bringing injured with them. The ma
jority of the buildings there were de-
stroyed and the entire populace was
forced to sleep outdoors all night.
American cavalry is patrolling the
streets here, and General Villa has a
detachment of his soldiers doing po-
lice duty across the border.

ATLANTA, Ca, June 23.-The 1916
Is general assembly of Georgia was
formally opened at ten o'clock this
morning in the state capitol, facing
some of the biggest business problems
which have ever confronted the state
notably the disposition of the West
ern & Atlantic railroad. This IS
probably the biggest question that
will confront the assembly and 1t is
expected, in conformity with Gov

in his message this morning, that a

Final preparations for the big Dixie
Highway Celebration in Americus on
July Fifth have been perfected. Every
thing will be ready for the crowd that
will assemble on the Fifth, and when
the morning of the sixth rolls around
Americus will have the satisfaction of
knowing that she has pulled off one
of the biggest stunts of its kind that
has ever been staged in south Geor-
gia.
The program committee has COM
.pleted the details of the program for
the day Not an idle moment from
sunrise to sunset has been the motto
of this committee and the program as
announced by them carries out their
motto. Ball games, parades, tourna-
ments, public speaking, anad the big
electric street ball would furnish
amusement enough for a dozen such
celebrations, but this committee has
crowded the whole bunch into one
big day of fun and merriment.
Interest in the big celebration is
growing every day and the crowd on
the Fifth bids fair to eclipse all SIM
liar gatherings in the state. Five
thousand visitors has been set as the
law water mark for that day.
The Central of Georgia has already
announced two excursions into Amer
icus on the Fifth. One from Macon
and one from Eufaula, Alabama, will
bring the crowds from cities along
the Central The Seaboard has trains
running into Americus on regular
schedule that will care for its crowd.
Additional coaches will be added by
the Seaboard to it's regular trains,
With a few minor changes the pro-
gram for the day will be exactly as
= announced above.
n Interest in the floral parade is
growing daily. The announcement
that cash prizes would be awarded the
best decorated car and the best decor
ated float has created considerable in
terest and there will be many pretty
cars and floats competing. The COM
mittee in charge of the celebration
has emploted an expert decorator A
Rousseau, to superintend the decorat-
ing of cars and floats, and he can be
consulted at the Chamber of Com
merce building.
The parade will form around Rees

LONDON NOT SURPRISED
AT FALL OF LEMBERG
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, June 23.-News of the
fall of Lemberg failed to create any
surprise here this morning when
first received from Berlin. With this
victory, the Austrians now practic-
ally control all of Poland. Every i'm
portant post in Galicia occupied by
the Russian early in the war has been
re-taken by the Austrians. Unofficial
reports from Petrograd state that the
Russians removed most of their sup
plies before they gave up Lemberg.

STATE LEGISLATURES

(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, June 23.-To the list
of twenty-five states in which work
mems compensation laws were al
ready in effect, eight more states and
the territory of Alaska have this year
been added by the action of their leg
islatures during sessions whicn have
just come to close. This growth of
the movement toward safeguarding
the welfare of the laborer and his
dependents is revealed in the sum-
mary of this years legislative activ-
tiles, which has been compiled by
The Associated Press. The summary
also shows progress in the abolish
ment of child labor and in the direc-
ton of limiting the working hours of
minors.
= The additional states to adopt
workmen's compensation are Wyom-
ing, Montana, Oklahoma, Colorado,
Maine, Indiana, Vermont and Penn
sylvania. Favorable action toward
the enaction of such a measure was
also taken by the Legislature of Utah,
which created a commission to inves-
tigate the question and report a bill
for the consideration of the next leg
islature. In one state which consid
cred the matter, New Mexico, pro-
posed workmen's compensation law
passed the house but was defeated IN
the Senate. In Idaho the bill was
vetoed by the Governor. Several 9TH

Somewhat different standards as to
the way in which compensation
should be awarded and the law ad-
ministered are shown in the meas
ures enacted this year. but the lack of
uniformity is also a feature of var
ious laws previously passed in other
states. For instance, under the new
Colorado statute injured workmen
will receive so per cent. of their wag
es during incapacity, though not to
EXCEED So a week. In case of total
permanent disability, the compensa-
tion is payable through life. Wheh
death results from the accident, tie
workers family is to receive SINH
lar amount for six years with max
imum of $4,000 In case of loss of
eyes, hands, limbs or other members,
similar payments are to be made for
specified period, varying from few
weeks to four years, dependent upon
'he nature of the injury.
Employers are required to insure
payment either in state insurance
fund to be created or mutual or
stock insurance company Admins
tration is placed in the hands of an in
dustrial commission of three members
who shall adjust disputes and with
authority to make awards if employ
ers or insurance companies neglect to
make payments promptly. Court pro-
ceedings are thereby practically elm
mated.
The Maine law however awards the
injured workmen payment by the em-
ployer of not more than $40 week

SAYS LABOR LEADERS MUST
MEET IN SPRINGFIELD


Charging that the recent deadlock
over the election of the speaker OF
the house was a part of a gigantic
conspiracy to adjourn the legislature
before any labor bills could be passed,
Victor Olander, secretary of the
State Federation of Labor, told the
members of the Chicago Federation
of Labor that they must meet in
Springfield to prevent this.
eve must prepare bill OF rights
which must be presented to the gov
ernor and both houses" said Olan-
der. Gan emergency convention will
be held in Springfield on April 81. Big
business has made a deal with lead
ers of factions in both houses to adj
journ as soon as the appropriation
bills are passed. We find that
campaign is under way to accomplish
this. Labor bills are doomed unless
we can get several thousand labor
representatives to lobby in Spring
field"
The federation, with its 1000 dele
gates, adjourned to meet in Spring
field on that date.
Among the bills in danger are the
initiative and referendum, one day
rest in seven, eight-hour law for
women, child labor and the minimum
wage.
A resolution was passed advocating
the closing of meat markets on Sun
days.

 Later

New Orleans, April 12.-Although cot ton displayed steadiness today in the early trading and made new nigh records for the season on all months, the market became soft before the session was very old, and under extensive liquidation went into a pronounced decline, closing at the lowest, at a net loss of Il to b points. At the best of the day prices were [ to points over fast weeks close. From the highest to the lowest there was a fall of Is to 21 points on the most active months.
 Shortly after the opening brokers handled a large volume of buying orders. which put July to 999c and December. to 1052c When the market looked strongest it was flooded with offerings. apparently from the buyers of last week, and there was a quick sag of nearly s1 bale. h the early afternoon a momentary recov- cry was made, but after the opening the market made no real display of steadi- ness.

THE YOUNG FIND LARNED'S HISTORY
 FASCINATING
An Astonishing Interest Displayed by the Children of This City in
 Great Historical Work

We were told by competent critics when we first undertook the distri- button of Larned's History of the World in this city, that we would find the children among its most enthu- eiastic admirers. We find this predic- ton has come true Hundreds of boys and girls, even as young as 10 years, have been among the crowds throng- ing our office daily, and have carried off their treasure with exclamations of delight Their still smaller brothers end sisters pore over the illustrations by the hour. The reproductions of fa- nous historical paintings in actual colors have an absorbing interest. The numerous halftones with which the five volumes are embellished likewise af- ford endless fascination. No work of it's kind has ever been so widely and beautifully illustrated. But the text is also a feature enjoyed by the young, since it is written in a style that is clarity itself. and easily understood and retained by the youthful mind. We do not hesitate to say that 1t is real duty of the parents of this commun- ity to give their children a work that will inculcate a never-dying thirst for knowledge and impart taste for in- formation of kind that is bound to influence their whole lives for the best and worthiest things. The coupons printed daily in The Age Herald will we believe, exert an incalculable effect on the future generations of this city and other places where this paper circulates. They should be clipped a. once as the advantage they offer will fobably not De obtainabls much longer.

Value of Mistakes

From the St. Joseph News-Press.
 The people who make mistakes lead the world. The perfect people work for them, running errands and count ing columns of figures. Only trifles are always true. Every great and se- rious truth has an obverse side which is also true. Prof. William James was the greatest psychologist of our time but the best he could do in defining i-uth was this: "The truth is simply what will work Whatever is may not necessarily be right, but whatever is is. That Is the main point. And it is every mans job to accept the is-ness and get down to business.
 Most men have the wrong location, have taken up the wrong profession have failed to improve the opportuni- ties for education they had in youth, have not married the woman ideally suited to them, have not the money, influence and position they need to show what's in them. And they are of two classes. One class sits around the loafing places and tells it's woes, and whittles. and pities itself. The other plucks up, forgets 1t, takes the situa- tion as 1t is and makes the best of things.
 The genius is not the man who never makes mistakes, who had his chan ce thrust on him, who was endowed aud all that: he Is the man who had no chance and was not gifted, but who took the raw material of life and fate as he found 1t and made some thing fine out of it. The only perfect person you will ever meet is the perfect fool. The faultless--they are the biggest frauds of us all.
