High officials are endeavoring to

there is every reason to believe that
they are eager to make the propo-
sails as conciliatOry and acceptable
Ms possible. +
These officials, however, have to

Berlin, July 2I-The Germans are
aggressively pushing the Russians

The Teuton forces OF two millions
are gaining fresh momentum along
the entire eastern front.
London, July 2.-The northward
drive OF the Austro-German armies
in Galicia to Poland is daily be-
coming more formidable, and Eng
land is puzzled as to whether they
propose to make their main effort
in this direction, instead OF main
tanning a concentrated offensive to

out Of the southeast tip Of Galicia.
Whatever the ultimate object is,
the fighting along the emilia Lipa

fetal comment not only records
progress in this sector, but further

WILSON'S SECOND YEAR
SHOWS A $50, 1884, 1891 DEFICIT

Washington, July 1.-The second
business year of the present admin
istration. which closed yesterday,
showed a deficit Of $35,S64,3S1.
compared with a surplus for the
year ending June 80, 1914, of $34,-
ASSET.
Official explanations will not be
Issued until the figures for the year
are analysed by Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo, but on the face
OF the records 1t is apparent that
receipts were much smaller, an
enormous reduction in customs rev.
enues resulting from the war, while
disbursements were much greater.
Notwithstanding the deficit on
the years business, the treasury
now has an actual net balance of
$e2,026,716.
