EAST CAMPAIGN A PUZZLE
England Is at Loss to Understand the
Continued Teutonic Drive Into
Russia.

London.-The Austro-German drive
northward into Poland from Galicia
is gaining momentum and England Is
puzzled as to whether the German
purpose is to make this the main eff
fort or to continue a concentrated OF
fensive to force the Russians from
the southeast tip Of Galicia.
Whatever the ultimate object is,
fighting along the Gnila Lipa river has
not abated and Berlin not only re-
cords progress here, but also farther
north in the arc around Lemberg and
along what has become the northern
front, between the Vistula and the
Bug
The Austro-German forces on this
front are estimated at 2,OOO,OOO ana
their progress has been rapid. They
have crossed the forest fringing the
Tanew river and are not far from the
Zamosc fortress, 25 miles north OF the
Galician frontier.
Only hundred miles to the north is
the great Russian base, Brest-L1tovsK,
linked with Warsaw by important rail-
ways and lying almost due east or the
Polish capital.
The development of the Galician
campaign has created a situation en-
tirely unexpected by the allies.
A few months ago the Russians were
at the Carpathian passes, and in the
spring confident predictions were made
in England and France that Hungary
soon would be overrun. The British
press has been optimistic for weeks
that the Russians would turn, but it
now frankly comedies that the 1nva-
sion of Russia is serious. The papers.
however, put faith in Russia's cam
paign for the production of more mu'
nitionS.

ports that the submarine, after sink

ASKS HELP ON WAR LOAN
Premier Asqulth Urges Natiohai Thrift
to Bear Strain of $15,000,o00 Per
Day Expense.

London.-Penny-wise economy here.
tofore has not been strong feature OF
the gatherings at Guild Hall, so closely
connected with aldermanic banquets
of proverbial opulence, but Premier
Asquith chose this home Of wealth to
initiate movement in support OF the
British war loan on June 20. He urged
personal thrift throughout the nation
so as to make it possible for the coun-
try to bear the strain Of the expendi-
ture of $1,000, 900 daily entailed by tho
cost Of the war.
AS If to give the campaign good
send-off, the first really big subscrip-
ton to the war loan was announced ST.
multaneously with the appearance or
Premier Asquith on the platform. IL
was by a London assurance company
and for $15,OO0,O0O.
Premier Asquith emphasized that
this was the first great democratic
loan in the financial history Of Great
Britain. The state, he said, was ap-
pealing to all classes, even those whose
resources were most limited.
"Waste on the part Of either indi-
viduals or classes" said Mr.. Asquith,
(which always is foolish and short
sighted, is, in these times, nothing
short of a national danger
The premier then discussed how a
country which normally had only $40O,-
100000 to spare yearly could get this
huge, unprecedented draft out of its
resources. He dismissed as impracti-
cable the idea of selling investments.

committed in August, 1912.

in pike county, growing out of the al
legged occurrence, change of venue
was granted the defendant to Lincoln
county. There it was tried three dif-
ferent times, and on the first two trials
was reversed on appeal, owing to er-
rors in procedure at the trial, prlnci-
pally on the insufficiency OF testimony.

CANDIDATES FOR ! CITY COMMISSION ARE WORKING HARD Much Interest in Report that Arlie Barber Will Sup
 port HOrnady and
 Shapiro

The race for the two seats to be filled on the city commission continues to attract attention in spite of the fact that the election is more than month distant. and the candidates, save for periodical public utteranees, are quiet.
 Yesterday John R. Hornady severed his connection with the newspaper With which he has for some months been Identified and declared that he would give his entire attention to his campaign. He is apparently sanguine of success. Dan Hogan. M. H. McDowell, Scudder Ryall, J. B. Gibson, Isadore Shapiro, J. H. McCary, Perry Turner and all the others-are busy and likewise sanguine of success
 Interest was aroused yesterday when it became known that Arlie Barber, commissioners elect, would support with his vote MT. Hornady and MT. Shapiro. MT. Shapiro aided Mir. Bar Der in his campaign and MT. Hornady was staff member of the newspaper which bitterly and unavailingly as- sailed Mir. Barber.
 Another cause of interest was the circulation of petition in the interest of w. H. Barnard, former chief of po- lice of Pratt City and former member of the legislature. He Is destined to be still another Richmond.
 While it is impossible to discover the strongest of the candidates, it is generally considered true that none of them will be strong enough to secure majority on the first ballot. This will necessitate run-off election.
