Berlin Claims a Steady Advance
and Russia Comedies the
Same after Resistance.
GREATEST GERMAN EFFORT
Made Anywhere Since the War
Began is Being Made in the
East Now.
spY AsseelA, ID 100,

LONDON. July Attention is
now conferred on the gigantic opera
tions in the eastern field of war,
where fighting is in full swing IN
nearly every section of the Russian
line from the Baltic to the Dniester
General Ton Buelow, who was on
the left of General Won Kluck in the
first invasion OF France, now com
mands the extreme left of the Ger
man advance towards Riga, which Is
being conducted by cavalry on a
scale exceeding anything heretofore
during the war.
Berlin claims steady advance
and Petrograd comedies an advance
after the Russian forces had made
stubborn contest.
On Won Buelow's right is General
Eichhorn, who is being held up by
the great Russian fortress of Osso-
wetZ.
on Won Eichhorn's right is General
Won Gallwitz, whose name appears for
the first time in large operations,
After capturing Przasnysz, he is now
pressing a German attack on the
Narew river and it's tributaries
On the famous Rawka and BZura
lines there is comparative quiet which
is also reflected on the southwest
side of Warsaw, but to the southwest
the movement against Lublin, which
! was temporarily checked, is again IN
full swing.
The Russians must fight decisive
battle for the possession of Warsaw,
or abandon all of Poland. The Ger
mans are considered undoubtedly to
prefer the first issue, hence the RUS
slams in the opinion of many mill
ttaFy observers are likely to attempt
complete withdrawal with their ar
mics intact.
These tremendous activities by the
they have little reserve left to devote
to the western campaign which offers
the Entente allies a respite either
for the completion of munitions sup
plies or for a concerted attempt to
recapture Lille.
Another view holds that the hest
service her allies could have give
Russia at this time would be the
forcing of the Dardanelles. 1t is pos
sible that the allies will combine
both suggested Attempts, but 1t is un-
Questionable that for the time the cen
ter of gravity in the war has shifted
to eastern Europe.
The western front continues quiet
without a sign Of any new develop
ments. The Italians report some
Drogress in the mountains east Of
Trentino, where the invaders are now
striking toward one Of the two rail-
roads serving Austrta's Trentino
forces.
The South Wales coal strike sit
uation continues serious with the be-
lief growing that the only solution
lies In government operation of the
mines during the period of the war.

Charles S. Keith Tells Federal
Trade Commission Market
is Unsatisfactory
tDY AssecIATEo PREss1

CHICAGO, July 19-Charles 8.
Keith, president Of the Southern Pine
Association, today gave the Federal
Trade Commission, now on q tour OF
the country to investigate the busi-
ness situation, q statement OF condl-
lions in the yellow pine lumber bus1-
ness. He said that the lumber trade
was not good Mr.. Keith said his re-
port covered the last. eight years, and
that during this period, with the ex-
ception of the last half OF 1912 and
the first part of 1913, the market had
been unsatisfactory.
To-day" asserted Mr. Keith 9
statement, "the lumber manufactur-
ing business is virtually rufnous, and
has been ever since the beginning OF
1914. This state of affairs was ac-
centuated Immediately after the dec
.laration of war. On the outbreak OF
war. a reduction of f1fty-etght per
cent came in the volume of sales IN
August as compared with July. IN
September there was thtrty-ntne per
cent reduction as compared with Au-
gust. This decrease resulted In the
price Of yellow pine reaching $ll.8S
. thousand feet at the mills in De-
cember.
"The cost of production Of yellow
pine lumber in 1914 was shown to
be not less than S13.75 a thousand
feet, while the price of lumber fell
from the high mark of $1S.42 IN
February. 1913, to $11.SS in Deem
Der, 1914.
This situation has affected work
ing conditions. In some cases, wages
have not been cut, but hours have
been increased. while in many IN
stances wages have been reduced
from ten per cent to as much as
twenty-five per cent. The cost OF Ia
Dor for the manufacture OF yellow
pine is about 81 q thousand feet, ana
where wages have been reduced ten
per cent, the saving is approximately
seventy cents thousand. the aY-
erage wage Is 50 a day and thus
each man employed in the yellow
pine mills contribute $57 q year out
of his rightfu1 earnings to this condl-
ton of over-production.
1.-The yellow pine industry, accord
ing to the censups bureu report OF
1909, produced sixteen and one
fourth billion feet of lumber, so that
the men have lost more than $11'-
600 900 in this competitive situation.
In addition to the loss to labor and TO
capital, there is waste of thirty per
cent in every tree. as it does not pay
under present conditions to cut up
the less valuable parts of trees. An
estimate places the loss In this man
ner at $45, 100000 year.
THE only remedy we can suggest
is to stop producing more lumber
than the market can asstm1late. II
this should be done, it ought to be
under full supervision of your com
mission. 1t is our belief that this
would not be in violation OF law IN
that 1t would not be in restraint OF
trade, or lessen competition"

She said:

be as capable soldier as any mar

who is training troops of women for
Lord Kitchener. In fact, she can do
anything and everything except full
fill the highest of all destinfes, the
bringing forth of beautiful children
and the making of them HnEo men and
women who will bless humanity.
"Woman's neglect and denial of
her highest vocation is bearing bitter
fruit. We see 1t In the white slave
trafIlc more than anywhere else. we
see the fruits in the hospitals. We
see it In the reformatortes. some OF
the finest material for the making of
useful lives is to be found there, run
to seed all through the lack of
mothers.
.sWoman is not altogether to
blame for. her failure to fulfill
destiny. The world has made and
worships this false woman.
Motherhood was the Rrss thing 60
go in Greece and Rome. The En-
peror Augustus saw his empire ex-
pire through the white Save trafic;
France and Belgium are going In the
same way. The same can1er IS also
eating at the core of the national life
of America. Since coming TO the
United States 1 have been struck by
the frightful tragedies In young lives
ALI for the want of a mother who
