London, June 2.-Rumania Is
now occupying "the seat of un-
easy neutrality lately held by
Italy. The diplomats OF the near
east evidently are working
hard to bring about an under
standing between Bulgaria and
Rumania. Rumors are rife that
Rumania is mobilizing an army
of 100000 men, which is said
to be in splendid condition for
active service.
The German press Is showing
some Indications OF anxiety
over this situation, and the
Frankfort Zeitung has called
for concessions to prevent Ru-
manian Intervention. Vienna
has been informed that Ger
many, pouring out blood and
treasure in the struggle, must
be listened to, and that Austria
Hungary must be prepared to
make certain sacrifices to
meet the Rumanian demand.
It is significant, in the opin-
ion OF British observers, that
three of the opposition leaders
in the Hungarian parliament
have demanded and have been
granted a conference with
Emperor Francis Joseph for the
statement of opinions which
cannot be uttered in parliament
itself.

Much bitter feeling existed in Bul.
garia for some time against Rumania
on this account but more recently a
change in the relations between these
states was observed. Last December
the Bulgarian minister at Petrograd
was quoted as saying that Rumania
had arranged to restore to Bulgaria
that portion Of Dodrudja which had
been annexed by the former country
after the second Balkan war

act from the grand opera Martha"
in special costume. The Concerts
given by Cimera and his band, Sat
urday afternoon and night were
delight TO all lovers Of good music,
At both concerts they gave splen-
did interpretations Of some Of the
great world-famous compositions.
Jaroslav Cimera's trombone solos
were exceptionally fine. Cimera is
one of the great trombone soloists.
The solo work of Karl H. S. HOugen
on the cOrnet were also splendid.
Sunday afternoon and evening came
the Sacred Concert by the BOhe-
mian Orchestra, the evening concert
as a prelude to the sermon-lecture
of Mr.. Bede.
But the feature which probably
meant most TO the lien anc women

by such noted people as Tahan( Rev.
Joseph X. Grifils), former chief OF
the Kiowa indians in the south
western part Of the United States;

From Wednesday OF last week
until Sunday the people Of Berea
and the surrounding community had
the opportunity for the second time
of attending one OF the Redpath
Chautauquas in their own commu-
nifty. Such an opportunity can
hardly be over-estimated in point
OF educational and cultural signifi-
canoe. Besides real entertainment
as such for those OF all degrees OF
intelligence and those Of all tenn
peraments, there was cultural and
an instructive feature to each pro-
gram.
Two programs were given each
day: one in the afternoon and one
in the evening, besides the chill
dren's hour in the morning. This
children's hour during which Miss
Anna David entertained the chill
dren and young people with her
stories and song, proved TO be very
popular feature and completely JUS
titled Miss David's claim TO being an
expert in the matter Of handling
children.
The first program was the musi-
cal concert by the Carol Glee Club,
which is a male quartette. After
to a variety Of musical
selections and the humorous read
ings given by members Of this
group, no one could be heard TO
express anything but admiration,
and all were eager TO return to
hear the same people render the
prelude 10 the evening program.

London, June 2s.-Aftsr ave days
heavy fighting the Austro-Germa
forces have succeeded In occupying
Malicz. the last strong position held
by the Russians south of the Lemberg
line in Galicia.
AustroGe activity at the pres
ent time appears limited to the move
ments towards the Vistula and the
fight around the Dneister. The Ger.
man statement tells of the constant
advance towards the Bessarabian
frontier from Lemberg, but gives no
details.
They have also crossed the Dneister
river on a front of five miles, and have
compelled the Russians to take up
new positions.
Petrograd dispatches report these
new positions as naturally very
strong. They are on the Gnila Lpa
river, which flows south from above
Rohatyn to the Dneister at Halicz.
Around the vistula. Przasnysz
again appears as a center Of fighting.
The operations this time are north
and northeast Of the town and there
the Germans claim to have repulsed
strong Russian counter attacks
against positions captured by the Ger.
mans on June 25.
The important sector Of the Vistula
front appears to be that portion Of
the river, just north of the river San.
There the Germans are attempting to
effect a crossing with the idea Of unit
ing their forces on the left side Of the
river with those operating on the
other side.
Although the German statement re.
ports that General Won Linsingen has
taken 6.470 Russian prisoners since
June 23. military observers in London
are finding some comfort in the fact
that the Grand Duke Nicholas has
been able to withdraw his armies in
