RUSS AND ITALIANS
RECORD VICTORIES
Allied Forces Also Claim Sue
cesses on Gallipoi
Peninsula
BRITISH TRAWLERS SUM
Germans Continue Submarine War
fare, but Crews Are Removed
to Places of Safety

On three of the principal battle
fronts of Europe successes for the
allies are reported-on the Russian
and Italian fronts and on Gallipoli
peninsula. Over the F'ranco-Belgian
line no movements of more than pass
ing importance are under way and
neither side can claim conspicuous
d,antage.
Recent Russian claims that the tide
of battle has turned in Galicia arc
aCcentuated by an official statement
from Petrograd to-day. 1t is said the
AustrO- German forces south of Lem
berg have sustained severe defeats.
Capture of several villages is an
nounced and il is said many prisoners
and much war material were taken.
The Italian advance across the
1sonzO river has not been checked.
Occupation of the town of Gradisca,
six miles southwest of Gorilla, is re-
ported by the Italian military authori-
ties. Possession of this town and of
Nonfalcone. near the Gulf of 1rieSt,
would appear To give the Italians
firm hold on the lower ISonZo.
Unofficial reports from Athens indi-
cate that the allies have made greater
advances than has been claimed i'm the
official statements from Paris and Lon
don. which give few details. Ii is said
the allies are now close TO the town
of Gallipoli. which is near the neck of
the peninsula, on the straits at the en-
trance to the Sea of MIarmora. The
allies are reported also to have Occu-
pied hills around Miados. about fifteen
miles from the tip of the peninsula.
Two more British trawlerS have been
sunk by German submarines, with no
loss of life

Officials in Berlin
Familiarize Themselves
With Contents of Note
By associated Press

Washington, June ~. = Official
Washington to-day looked to Ambas-
sador Gerard in Berlin for some indi-
cation of how the German govern
ment views the American note to Ger
many concerning her submarine war
fare. Unofficial advices received here
said that officials of the German For
eign Office were familiarizing them
selves with the contents and 1t was
expected here that as soon as they
had done so the ambassador would
promptly send some definite informa-
ton concerning the German attitude.
1t was also stated that Germany
probably would not give Its answer
pending the arrival of Meyer Gerhard,
the personal representative of Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa :
dor at Washington. From this it was
concluded here that a reply would not
be forthcoming for perhaps a fort
night.
The feeling in official circles in
Washington, however, continued opti-
mistic that a way would be found for
a peaceful settlement of the issue be-
tween Germany and the United States.
Hopes were based upon the friendly
character of the note which they re-
garded as opening the door to a sat
isfactory adjustment with honor to
both countries. This confidence of a
favorable outcome of the negotiations
also was shared by diplomats here.

WAR MUNITIONS PASS
THROUGH HARRISBURG
Large Daily Shipments of Wire
and Other Supplies, Including
Flour and Horses

War shipments are keeping the
Pennsylvania and Reading Railroad
Companies busy. Hundreds of tons of
munitions pass through Harrisburg
weekly. The destination of these ship
ments is either New York or Philadel-
phia. At tidewater the shipments are
loaded on vessels and sent to the war
zone.
During this week large shipments
OF steel wire, barbed wire, and other
material for war defenses. and flour
and other supplies, were shipped East
On the Pennsylvania main line these
shipments are marked as preference
freight. Trains run on passenger train
schedules, and orders are to avoid all
delays.
=. Many Trains of Horses
The Reading Company has averaged
from two to four train loads each
week. Wire shipments from Pitts
hurgh have been large. Each train is
made up of 40 cars. Other supplies
are also being shipped via of the
Reading. From Catasauqua. the
Reading is shipping two to four car
loads of horse shoes daily.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
been doing a big business in horse
100 cars of horses pass through Har-
risburg en- route to tidewater Consid-
cradle secrecy is manifested in these
shipments. The contents Of the cars
are not known to any person but the
shippers, and agents for the purchas-
ers. The latter await the arrival of
the cars at the shipping wharves. pay
for the material, and send 1t to Eu-

"A box should contain twenty-four

some of the boxes fall short through
the packing process but these little
discrepancies must be watched and

REVENUES LIKELY
To Be SUFFICIENT
Appropriation Chairmen Show the
Governor That They Are Not So
Very Far Off Estimate

Governor Brumbaugh and Chair
men Buckman and Woodward, of the
legislative appropriations commit
the amount of money available for
appropriations than they have been
at any time and il is The belief that
the cuts will not have to be as severe
as anticipated.
Monday morning the Governor will
begin conferences with heads of de-
partments on the general appropriation
bills, it being his plan to save wher-
ever it is possible. The chairmen will
be here Monday night to talk over the
estimates again and Auditor General
Powell is expected to have some new
figures ready by that time.
The Governor will not act on the
bills for charities, educational institu-
tions, ETC., until after he disposes of
the general bill. Yesterday he dis
cussed with the chairmen the result of
a two weeks inquiry he had made into
the finances and ii is believed that his
estimates are not so far away from
those of the legislative chiefs.
The chairmen discussed estimates
with the Governor for five hours,
pointing out that they figured the
revenue available for appropriation at
S68, ,4T9,S 1870. The revenue estimated
by Auditor General Powell a week or
so ago was $50, 100000. The chair
mems estimates did not include the
bank balance of $5,000,O 900 or any in
come from new revenue acts which
have been approved. 1t was also point
ed out that the State revenue from
taxation would not be definitely stat
ed. Settlements by county officers and
corporations are said to be pending to
certain extent.
The estimate of the appropriations
by the chairmen amounts to S70,74O,-
S73.64 against which they claim offsets
through reappropriations of over s2,-
100000. including $1.449, ,23S.73 spe-
cifically stated and estimates of $780,
900 for the National Guard emergency
fund, S125,000 for bridges and $780,
900 for the Department of Health.
The Governor is understood to have
asked the Auditor General for a new
estimate.
