With the capture of Lemberg- the
Austro-G German armies, which have

Carpathian Mountains for distance

plished the object of their great drive,
which was begun early in May. The
efforts Of the Austro-Germans viii un-

the complete clearance Of Gahcia OF

indication from Petrograd of where
the Russian forces will make their
next stand or whether they will con-
tinue their backward movement until
they reach Russian soil.
The second Austrian army under
General Won Boehrn-Ermolli entered
Lemberg on Tuesday afternoon after
sanguinary fighting. According to un-
official reports, however, much of the
Russian artillery had been removed
from the defences around the capital
and it is considered probable that a
very great part of the Russian army
of defence was in retreat before the
works were stormed-

THAW TESTIFIES IN
HIS OWN BEHALF.
Tells Story of His Escape from Matter
wan and Subsequent Movements.

New York, June 23-Thirteen wit
nesses, including Thaw himself, testi-
fed today that they believed Harry K.
T'haw is sane. They appeared in the
proceedings before a jury to test
Thaw's present mental state, upon the
outcome of which depends whether the
slayer of Stanford White will go free
or return to the insane asylum from
which he escaped.
The witnesses included four jurors
at Thaw's former trials, two chaplains,
a physician and a keeper at the Tombs
prison, where Thaw was several times
confined, two newspa permen who had
been associated with him during the
nine years history of Thaw litigation,
a lawyer who had met Thaw in New
Hampshire and a juror in civil pro-
ceedings instituted by one of Thaw's
former attorneys against Mrs. Mary
Copley Thaw, his mother.
They all agreed that Thaw showed
no symptoms of delusion, that he
could talk intelligently on many sub
jeCts, had never been violent in his
conduct to their knowledge and was
rational in his talk and actions.
Thaw himself appeared to be COM
posed when on the witness stand and
answered the questions of his attorney
in well modulated voice and without
hesitation. He described the story of
his escape from Matteawan and his
subsequent movements in Canada, Yer
mont and New Hampshire. He said he
had left Matteawan because physicians
had told him that he was sane and
that he himself believed that he was.
His cross examination was postponed.

The plan of the new British minis
ter Of munitions, David Lloyd George,
for quickly increasing the output Of
munitions of war is embodied in part
in a bill introduced in the house OF

complete control of the production by

tional steps of allowing the trades un-
ion leaders seven days in which TO
supply enough men to furnish the sup
plies absolutely necessary for the sue

The labor leaders have agreed to this
and will begin recruiting workmen I'M

BRITISH LABOR MUST
RALLY IN SEVEN DAYS
Munitions Bill Makes Strikes and
Lockouts IIIegal-Limits the Profits
of Employers.

London, June %, S:46 p. m-David
Lloyd George, the minister of muni-
tions, has given British labor seven
promise of it's leaders that men will
rally to the factories in sufficient num-
bers to produce a maximum supply of
munitions of war.
This was the most striking state
ment in the new minister's speech in
the house of commons today in the
course of outlining the munitions
measure which is designed to control
not only the output but the men re-
sponsible for the output.
The first of the seven allowed days
will begin tomorrow and with its
dawn will be launched a great cam
paign to recruit the workers.
'I had a fresh discussion with the
trades union leaders," said Mr.. Lloyd
George in his speech, and told them
If an adequate supply of labor could
not be secured compulsion was inev-
liable. The union representatives
answered: Give US a, chance to sup
ply the men needed in seven days; if
we cannot get them we will admit that
our case if considerably weakened
THE seven days will begin tomor-
row. continued Mr.. Lloyd George.
'tand advertisements will appear in all
the newspapers. The union repre-
sentatives have engaged 180 town halls
as recruiting offices and the assistance
OF everyone has been invited"
There will be no age limit to the
men enrolled; they will not wear uni
forms, but will have to give their full
| time to the work and they will receive
a certificate attesting that they are
| working for king and country.
The munitions bill makes strikes and
| lockouts illegal; provides for com
pulsory arbitration; limits the profits
| of employers; creates a voluntary
army of workmen pledged to go
wherever they are wanted, and CON
| tains other provisions, which will give
| the minister full powers to carry ont
| the plans he has decised to deveIor
