business men had appeared and given
thcir views regarding the proposal TO

With Il few exceptions, the witnesses.

combinations were necessary If CO.

Such combinations, it was suggested

their members the expenses attendant

Especial to The Times Dispatch
WASHINGTON. June THE first of
the prominent Mexicans to be called
on to head the proposed movement for
the unfication of all factions in Mex
leo is Senor i. Lascurain.
Senor Lascurain is now in New York
Keeping boarding house. He at one
time held the post Of Minister for For
eign Affairs in the Madero Cabinet, and
has since the downfall of the Madero
regime practically lived in retirement
II is not known whether he will be
wiling TO accept, even though the
leaders should agree upon him His
disposition has been always 10 keen
aloof from factional fights in Mexico
and purely partisan politics. This very
quality of the former Prime Minister
however, indicates that he is pre-
cminently the man who would meet all
the requirements which are implied in
the Presidents note on the Mexican
situation.
Others have been suggested. but it
can be stated that the man now in
the mind of official Washington is
Senior Lascurain.

Especial Cable to The Times Dispatch
LONDON. June 4.-Close on the heels
of the Russians retreating from
Przemysl, the Austro-German armies
are pressing their advance on Lemberg
The Russians are covering their re-
treat by violent rear-guard actions
On the heights southwest of Medyka,
on the Przemysl- Grodek Railway, they
have posted considerable forces OF ar
tllery in an effort to stem the Teuton
advance. Large forces of Germans are
storming these positions.
The collapse OF the Russian campaign
in Galicia is near at hand, according
TO advices from Vienna and the Aus
trian headquarters in the field De-
spite this optimism, however, il is evil
dent that the Russians still hold
strong positions on a line which in
cludes. roughly, the lower San Wisnia
and Dniester Rivers The terrain af-
fords them some natural positions easy
of defense, of which the great Dniestar
marshes are a part.
Russian reports of successes in East
ern Galicia are vehemently denied by
Austrian sources. Vienna also reports
that the forces OF General Linsinsen
are about TO force a passage of the
Stry northeast of the city of the same
name, and that an Austrian army, un-
der General Bohem- Emolli has passed
through the Russian lines south and
east of Przemysl. and is advancing
rapidly. already being within a few
miles OF Mocislia.
ALL WAR MATERIAL
REMOVED FROM PRZEMYSL
According to Russian reports. it was
Przemysl would have to be evacuated,
and to this end the Russians moved
most Of the defending garrison and
practically all their heavy guns, in
Guiding those captured from the Aus
trians. The fortress, il is explained in
PetroSrad. was built for defense
against forces advancing from the east,
ana Its position and the surrounding
terrain. which afforded cover for
storminG forces. made practically i'm
possible its defense from the west
Many Of the forts, moreover. had been
practically dsmantled by the Aus
trians before their surrender in March.
In the north the Germans report the
capture OF two villages forty miles east
of l.ibau. Petrograd, however, de-
clares that Russian troops have cut
the German line of conmunica tions be-
tween Memel ana BiDau, and that the
troops in Libau are deprived OF their
base.
With the fall of rrzcmysl. although
this does not appear TO be the end OF
their efforts against the Russians in
Galicia. the Germans again have turned
their attention TO the west. and stimuli
taneously with the arrival of German
re-enforccments In Flanders and the
Province of Ar,ois, France, come Of
tcial reports OF their attacks on posi-
tions recently captured by the British

Socrates used to ask many questions. Indeed
it was because of that habit of his that they put
him to death. He asked so many questions which
evildoers found it embarrassing to answer and
equally embarrassing not to answer. With no
fear Of hemlock before it the Child Welfare
League has been asking some questions of special
pertinence at this time of widespread unemploy-
ment. II wants to know what relation the large
number of employed children has to the large
army of unemployed adults; whether the wage
standards of adults have been lowered through
the keen competition Of cheap child labor, and
whether manufacturers prefer child labor to adult
labor where other considerations equal. Are
the damages which industries have had to pay for
injuries sustained by children smaller than those
paid to adults who have been injured in the pur-
suit Of their employment?
