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.
eov Assoc,Al 60 rarss,

LONDON, July 19.-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 Won 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
scale exceeding anything heretofore
during the war.
Berlin claims steady advance
and Petrograd comedies an advance
after the Russian forces had made a
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 its 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 Lubltn, which
was temporarily checked, is again In
full swing.
The Russians must fight a 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
tary observers are likely to attempt a
complete withdrawal with their ar
mics intact.
Those tremendous activities by the
Germans in the East suggest that
they have little reserve left to devote
to the western campaign which oners
the Entente allies Tpite either
for the completion q ,niticns sup
plies or for concerted attempt to
recapture Lille.
Another view holds that the best
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
progress in the mountains east of
Trenttno. 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

president Gompers today expressed
the opinion that the Bridgeport

general plan by foreign Influences to
cause labor leaders to cut OF Amer

bring on labor troubles to prevent the
shipping of American products to
Europe" he said. II know that an eff
fort was made<to bring about strike
Iof longshoremen and that when that
failed an effort was made to cause q
strike of seamen. I know these
things as well az anything. There
can be no doubt that this foreign
propaganda, with unlimiteo means be-
hind 1t. is seeking to check the man
ufacture and expectation OF supplies
for Europe.
There is a great hue and cry
abroad in the land" he sa;d that the
workmen should bear the burden OF
hard times. I believe ynar when
there Is general prosperity from any
cause the workman should nave ms
share of the Increased proft."

Writ U1ALL Y RJJINOUS
Charles S. Keith Tells Fedora
Trade Commission Market
is Unsatisfactory
ssY Assoe,Arrp passs:

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 ousi-
ness situation, "a statement OF conoi-
tions in the yellow pine lumber bust
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-
Iception Of the last half Of 1912 and
the first part of 1913, the market hao
been unsatisfactory.
Today" asserted Mr.. Keith's
statement, "the lumber manufactur-
ling business is virtually ruinous, and
has been ever since the beginning OF
1914. This state of affairs was &C
|centuated Immediately after the dec
Ilaration of war On the outbreak OF
war, a reduction of f1fty-eight 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 AL
gust. This decrease resulted In the
price of yellow pine reaching $ll.SS
Ia thousand feet at the mills In De-
cember.
The cost of production Of yellow
pine lumber in 1914 was shown TO
Dc aOI IGSS lAaA 2A0sAC q -
feet, while the price OF lumber fell
from the high mark of 1892 in
February. 1913, to $11.83 in Decem-
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 a thousand feet. and
where wages have been reduced ten
per cent, the saving is approximately
seventy cents a thousand. The av-
erage wage is SO a day and thus
zach man employed in the yellow
pine mills contribute $57 year out
of his rightfu1 earnings to this condl-
ton of over-production.
'.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 SILL
900 900 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 1t 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 ass1milate. 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 it would not be in restraint OF
trade, or lessen competition.
