London, July 7th.-Advices from the
Eastern front state that the Russians have
halted their retreat and are making q deter
mined stand on the Zlotalipa river in Eastern
Galicia. The Austro-G ermans after a fort
night of uninterrupted fighting, according
to both Berlin and Vienna, have reached the
whole front OF the Russians in that section
and practically every unit of the two great
armies is believed to be engaged. Between
the rivers Pruth and Dniester the Russians
are also disputing the advance of the Aus
tro-Germans. The fighting in Southern Po-
land is most desperate, the Russians attack
ing in strong force with the greatest deter
mination, but the Germans say the effort is
a forlorn hope.
The Germans are rushing their offensive
on the Western 'front.'. In the forest of LIE
Pretre they compelled the French, after
stubborn resistance, to evacuate trench after
trench over q fifteen hundred yards front,
until 1000 prisoners, including q battalion
staff and several guns, fell into their hands.
Advices from Paris admit that the Ger
mans have gained a foothold in the old lines
which had been taken by the French, but
say that the advance was less than announc-
ed by Berlin. Both sides report sanguinary
but f~ruitless attacks at otEer points along
the Western line.
Dispatches from Geneva state that citi-
zens of Switzerland trying to return home
across the Swiss-German frontier report that
the frontier has been closed, and they assert
that the reason is the massing of German
troops preparatory to an effort to drive the
French from Alsace, as q part of the plan to
clear German and Austrian territory of
invaders.
In the italian theatre the activity of the
contending armies is undiminished tn the

(From Bulletin, 8th Ju1y.)

We are sorry TO inform our readers that
The fire, which we mentioned In yesterdays
bulletin as having occurred aboard the
Dannebrog, has proved disastrous. The
schooner is a wreck, and all TINT remains of
her is the lower part of the hull and the
outer wood work of the stern. Successful
efforts were made to put out the smouldering
fire yesterday afternoon and evening, we
presume for the safety of the town as it
would be impossible to repair the vessel.
AT one time during the fire there was
great danger to the town, us the schooner
was alongside the wharf, and only a few
yards separated her from Vie house occu-
pied by Capt. Hassell. Whilst in this dan
gerous proximity to the town the gasoIene
on board exploded. causing a shock to the
houses in the vicinity like that of an earth
quake, and a great tongue of fame higher than
the masts shot forth from the vessels hold.
Fortunately no damage was done by this
explosion, but a Sigh of relief went up when,
through the efforts Of the Pilot, the schooner
was drawn away from the wharf by o hawser
tied to her rudder and operated from the
Quay. The sigh of relief was occasioned by
the knowledge that there were more gaso-
line tanks on board than the one which was
thought to have exploded, but as things
turned out all of the gasoline exploded at
once and there was really no further danger
on that account.
The Brand Corps worked we'll, but all
efforts were vain to extinguisb a FIRE origi-
mated and helped by gasolene. The Dame
brog is said to be insured, and whilst
rendering our sympathy to Mr.. Merwin on
his loss we congratulate him on the fact that
his loss will in a great measure be met by in
surance. Of course, the loss cannot only be
measured by dollars and cents but by the in
convenience to the public and shippers which
will be occasioned for some time to come.
It is possible to make use of small crafts for
mails, but it is not only inconvenient but
risky to life to sail on such makeshifts, aud
it is to be hoped therefore that some suitable
arrangements will speedily he made for the
conveyance of mails and passengers in com-
fort and safety.

ChiIdren's Day.

The Children's Day program given at
the Methodist church, last Sunday
drewt he crowd that always
tries the seating capacity of the
audience. room whenever any of the
anniversary days are observed under
the direction of Mrs. Hale, the pastors
wife, who certainly has a remarkable
gift for getting out of young people of
all ages the very best that is in them
in the way of expression in numbers
that make up any kind of program.
She was most efficiently assisted by
Mrs. Van Cleave, Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Til
ford and Mrs. Deane. Neat printed
programs were handed out at the door.
A professional chorus of about eighty
children, all under IA years of age,
opened the service; the children com
pletely filling both the choir loft and
the lower rostrum. Thirty tiny boys
and girls, whose average age was three
years, filed the tiny red chairs on the
lower platform, and all we could think
of was flower garden. These little
''buds of promise" gave twenty min
ute program of their own-aH but one
responding when called upon, in tones
audible to the last seat in the lecture
room. Some of them were unable to
talk on Children's Day, last year. 1t
was wonderful. Catherine Lewis then
made the little speech of welcome and
B. H. Fleenor followed with a brief
talk on the meaning of Children's Day
Walter Riedel and WiIfred Kraus gave
humorous recitations in good style, and
John Hale had a short grafton on the
Bible, which his grandmother wrote for
him shortly before her death. Char
lotte Blender, who has much talent for
so young a reader, gave "The Battle
for Soul' in her own earnest way.
The chorus, Happy Childhood" and
the vocal solos and quartettes showed
up many good voices. Miss Replogle
read Dickinson's beautiful poem, F'The
Children. - Miss Allen had a unique
method of introducing her musical
numbers. She sang to the children as
she does in her regular school work.
Mrs. Tilford, Mrs. Van Cleave and Mrs.
Deane contributed most touchingly the
'tCradle-roll'' number, and as there are
now over fifty babies enrolled in this
one department, it will hereafter be
commemorated in some way in every
Children's Day service.
