Petrograd Claims Defeat of

Losses Enormous"

fering unprecedented" Losses. Ac-
cOrding to Berlin, Which Admits
Defeat of Linsingen's Army.

London, June 25.-At three points
on the Dneister river according to
claims made in Pettrograd today, the
Austro Germans have been defeated
with losses which are described as
enormous, and part of General Won
Linsingen's army has been driven
back to the south bank of the river,
near HalicZ.
This reverse is admitted by Berlin,
but it is asserted that on the upper
part of the river the German troops
are advancing.
Vienna reports the capture of
ChodoroW. which is II miles below
Balicz. and the same distance south
OF Lemburg. This was effected by
sorce coming from the west at Cydac-
zow, on the road to Stryjc. It is re-
ported also that the Russian counter
attacks on the north bank of the
Dneister were repulsed, but the great
battle there is still in progress.
The Austrians say the Russians are
resisting desperately on the Dneister,
especially in the center, in order to
permit their retreating armies to save
their var material.
1t is inferred by military experts
here that the immediate aim of the
Austro- German commanders is less
an advance on Russian territory than
menace to the Russian line on the
Dneister, an development in the rear
along the Lemburg- Dezesany railroad.
From this. it is inferred that they are
on the eve of fierce struggle for the
possession of the river line.
Though the Austro-Germans have
captured a new section on the left
hank, they were unable to hold il and
advance, but have been compelled to
assume desperate defensive.

The First Sleeping Car.

The first real sleeping car was built
in 1864. 1t was called the Pioneer, and
the builder further designated it by the
letter "A" not dreaming that he would
soon exhaust the letters of the alpha
bet. The Pioneer cost the almost fabu-
lous sum of $4,000. That was reck-
less extravaganza in a year when the
best of railroad coaches could be built
at cost not exceeding $500. But the
Pioneer was blazing a new path in lux
