 In front of Przemysl the famous 42 centimeters began battering at the forts guarding the city from the west. The fortress was not completely sur rounded, nor was the railroad seized The Russians did not stay for that. When they found they could not reply to the terrific hail of steel poured upon them they made the best retreat they could back along the railroad toward Lemberg and on back beyond that city to their own frontier the Austrians re- port
 The capture of Przemysl was one of the great victories of the war. That was achieved by the slow grind of siege, starving out the garrison. The re- capture Is no less stirring and impor- tant victory. Curiously enough, it was achieved by an exactly opposite proc ess from the capture.

DISTRIBUTING THOUSANDS OF
 CARTONS RICE FROM VALLEY

San Diego, June 14.-Not to be out done by the other California sections which have celebrated orange day by distributing vast quantities of oranges and rasin day by concocting various rasin delicacies, the Sacramento Val ley is calling attention to it's infant rice industry by distributing sever al thousand cartons of rice from the valley.
 Only six years ago the department of agriculture started it's experiments in rice culture. Two years later the fruit plants were set out. Last years crop in the valley, planted in 17000 acres, produced $1,500,000 for the growers, and this years crop covers twice as much area. The government experts report 350000 acres in the Valley admirably adapted for rice growing, and the infant industry pro- mises to reach maturity in a few years.

 "Physiologically the healthy woman Is better equipped by nature to with stand cold and exposure than the aver age man. Every one knows that in regions of severe climate men wear heavier clothing and more of it than women.
 TO say that a woman'S pride is keeping her warm as she sweeps up the street on clustering zero day with open coat, thin shirt waist, ex- posed neck and thinly stocklnged feet is not altogether true, for nature is aid ing her. She will, of course, suffer from unwise exposure, but not to the same degree that man would.
 But the sad fact Is that few of our American born women, the descend ants of our early settlers, are trained up to even a moderate degree of bodily efficiency

GREAT AUSTRIAN VICTORY.

Russians, Who Held Powerful GaIician
 Fortress Seventy Days, Fled Before
 Hail of Shells From Big Austro Ger
 man Guns to Which They Lacked
 Ammunition to Reply.
 Three separate sieges of Przemysl or Peremysl, as the Russians renamed 1t during their brief occupation, has made the great Galician fortress one of the memorable centers of the war. Nor probably is it's story yet concluded.
 1t was early in the wars history that the Russian forces, with little of re- sistance before them, first swept across the Galician plains and planted their heavy guns before the stronghold. The first shots were fired on Sept. 16. and from that date until the present time Przemysl has been in the front of important events as much if not more than any other single city
 The first Russian attempt against PrZemysl was undertaken too hastily. er not hastily enough. In any event, however, their big howitzers had not pounded away at the strong fortifica- tions for many days before Austrian re-enforcements appeared in great num- bers and drove the invaders back.
 Early in October, however, the Rus sian forces, greatly strengthened and dragging heavy guns fin their wake, pressed up to the outskirts of the city and again began, this time in deadly forts which formed the great strong hold, Przemysl.
 Austrians Slowly Starved.
 The attacking army was variously estimated at from 125,OOO to 2OO,O0O men, There were probably 10000 Austrian soldiers within the fortress to defend it.
 In q few days the city had been sur rounded and entirely cut off from out ward communication, and thus it was held and gradually starved until March p, when General Kusmanek, the Aus trian commander, raised the white flag
 Several attempts had been made 10 relieve the besieged city, but for some reason as yet unexplained the Austrian general staff could not release a force of sufficient strength to drive off the invaders or even to break through the ring of iron.
 No sooner had the city fallen and yielded it's more than IF, 900 Austrian soldiers as prisoners than the Russian armies released from the siege rushed south and east to the various Carpa- thian passes. bent upon surging across those mountains and into the Hunga- rian plains. They advanced to the summit of the mountains and held them until the concerted Austrian and German drive which rolled them back, began last month
 Meantime the Russians were able to restock the forts of Przemysl to some extent and to repair the damage done by their own guns But it is supposed that it was lack of ammunition which eventually forced them to retire.
