London, June 16-Adviees from Petrograd, via Stockholm make it .lppear that the fall of Lembure Le- fore the Austrian German advance is almost assured. The Germainc wedge which proved irresistible as far as the Russians were concerned in the
 st month s fighting has been re sormed again and has resumed its advance. The Russians are making every effort to stem the attack at the crossing of the Dneister river, but ap. parently they do not think they can slo more than retard the advance, as the Germans have gotten two distinct armies across the river to the north and the south of where the Russians are cntrenched, and the latter will be compelled to fall back to escape be ing taken in the flank. This means that there is little to stop the Ger man advance on Lemberg, the last corner of Galicia held by the Rus sian army.

Rome. June l6-It is acknowledged here this morning that the Italian advance on Trieste has leen brought to d standstiii east oi Monfaicone. Details are of course lacking, but i, is known that additional men have been dispatched to that region, and thousands of wounded are arriving from that point. The Austrians are exported to be in strong positions and
 vait the attacks fthe Italians. The same conditions appear to confront the force sent north from Monfalcone against Goritz, where the losses have teen even heavier, considering the numbers engaged than those in the Trieste advance. Three times the Italians have charged the Austrian trenches in front of Gortiz, but in every instance have been com pelled to withdraw owing to the in tense fire of the machine guns. Sev- eral of the advance trenches of the Teutons have been captured, but could not be retained owing to the concentration of the gun fire on same.

Washington, June 16-An order which may tie up the Alaska North c1n railroad deal with the United States government was issued yester- day evening by the Supreme Court. IL is against Secretary of the Treas ury AeAdoo and Secretary of the In terior Franklin K.

According to the showing made by tEose asking for tue injunction, who are the bonIholders of the old com ,F.ny. the Canadian claimants have Ho rights in the matter until after the holders Of the bonds on the road have been satisfied.
