Vienna Claims Victorious
Sweep Goes on, But Petro-
grad Reports Successes.
RUSSIAN FORCES DRIVEN
FROM THE RIVER SAN
Movement of German Center Said to
Have Been Stopped Ten Miles
East of Przemysl.

LONDON June 5.-In Galicia heavy
fighting continues all along the front.
From the Vienna reports it would ap-
pear that the Austro-German armies
were still sweeping back the Russians.
The Petrograd war office, however, ad-
vances claims of success in several en-
gagements.
notwithstanding the evacuation OF
Przemysl the Russians have maintained
an unbroken fighting front on both
sides of the railroad to Lemberg.
River San Abandoned.
In a dispatch from Petrograd the
Morning Posts correspondent says:
THE River San except on it's lower
reaches has been abandoned as well as
Przemysl The Russians removed all
their stores and munitions from Pre-
mysl. a process which occupied couple
Of weeks owing to the enormous guam
titles concentrated there by the Aus
trians. The process was completed
Wednesday and during the succeeding
night the Russians quietly retired to
prepared positions east of the fortress"
Germans Use Fresh Troops.
Further discussion Of the evacuation
of Przemysl brought out the claim in
Petrograd today that the Germans
doubled their forces operating on their
southeastern front during the Galician
advance, and that fresh troops and
artillery are still being sent in. Most
of these reinforcements are being di-
rected toward the Russian left flank in
the Dneister region, this having be-
come since the abandonment of
Przemysl the chief point Of the Aus
tro-German attack.
The movement of the German center
would appear to have been stopped
ten miles to the east of Przemysl, and
the elimination of the irregularities
of the Russian alignment has, accord
ing to Russian militarists, advan-
tageously shortened their front from
fifty to fifteen miles.
Now in Straight Line.
The front lire from Gussakow to
voldava previously received its length
and its irregularity because Of the
necessity of including the ring Of the
Przemysl forts. Then 1t was fifty miles
long. Now it IL a straight line between
the two points and not more than If
teen miles long.
With this center of the Galician op-
erations marking time, the Germans
are described as being forced back on
their extreme left, near the lower San,
and as advancing toward. the Dniester
fortif1cations on their right. This gives
the situation as whole the character
of slow pivoting movement. with
Przemysl as the center.
Gains Heap Of Ruins.
The Times Pstrograd correspondent
says:
by the capture of Przemysl the
enemy has come into possession not of
fortress, but of a heap of ruins.
Everything of value had been gradual
ly removed during the past month.
'"The loss OF the fortress doesn't de-
eide the Galician campaign, but 1T en-
phasizes the necessity for greater
supply Of munitions and equipment,
which the Russian industries are un-
able single handed to provide. Until
these supplies can reach us 1t will
perforce be necessary for the Russians
to assume the defensive"

Russians Not Worried
Over Przemys's Fall;
COncede Moral Victory

PETROGRAD, June 5.-News of the
fall of Przemysl apparently has awak
ened no apprehension here. 1t is con-
ceded that the Germans have won a
moral victory" but the strategic i'm
portance of the fortress. according to
the opinion expressed here, had been
nullified before the Russians relin-
quished it.
1t is pointed out that the position
was weakened on account of the de-
struction by the Austrians of forts at
the time they evacuated 1t in March,
Furthermore. the fortress. projecting
In an acute angle into the territory
held by the Austro-German forces,
was made by them the target for at
tacks from three sides. Consequently
1T required more men for defense than
the Russian military authorities be-
lieved was justified by its strategic
importance.

Huge Stores Recovered.

Huge stores of provisions were re-
covered and considerable amount OF
war material was captured. Immedi-
ately after the occupation of Przemysl
Gen. Won Mackensen's army pressed
eastward 1t encountered the Russian
rear guards on the heights near Med
yka. where fighting is still In progress
The Teutonic allies have succeeded,
however. in Joining their forces along
a continuous front moving eastward.
which has relieved the difficult posi-
ton of the north wing.
The only serious opposition whicn rs
expected will probably be offered near
the Grodek lakes. south Of Le1nberg.
where the Russians may be able TO
throw in reserves. 1t is expected that
the army of Gen. Linsingen, moving
northea stward from Stry, will be able to
threaten the Russians from the rear
II they offer such resistance.

Event Is Regretted.

From the standpoint of sentiment
the evacuation of Przemysl is greatly
regretted by both the military and
civil elements in Petrograd At the
same time it is being explained that
the abandonment of the position had
been regarded here for some time past
as strategically imperative, and that
preparations to leave 1t had been
going on for q month. The released
garrison will now be available for
field operations, whereas, II an at
tempt to hold out had been made
between 10000 and 100000 men would
have been locked up at the mercy OF
the heavy Austrian guns.

The Armstrong case has occupied. a,

than year. Armstrong was treasur-
er of the board OF trustees of Lodge
soc, Loyal Order OF Moose of the
Wbrid. As such he had possession
and control of three Olaa bonds OF
$1,000 each. There was a row in
Moose circles, many members quit and
organized the Phoenix, and disputes
arose concerning the custody OF the
original Moose lodge property. Arm
strong sold the bonds through local
trust company and converted the
money to his own use, according to
the later legal findings. He left Hon
olulu and went to San Francisco.
On July 10. 1914, Armstrong was in.
dicted by the territorial grand jury,
and a deputy sheriff was sent to the
coast to bring him back. He made a
fight against extradition but was final.
