 The penetration of the Germantc armies eastward from Lemberg has the Russians from the thirty mile front between Robrika and Zurawna,, where they had offered such stubborn resistance.
 The Musc0vites, Eas they themselves admit, are now falling back to the Gnila Lfpa river which runs from the northward of Przemysl and through Dneister. Military writers here an ticipatc that this backward move will necessitate a total withdrawal from the Dneister and that the Rus sians will make their next real stand oh the river Bug.
 These writers also hold that though the Russian retreat must mean a great retardation to the prospects of a Mus covite recovery to a condition making a counter-offensive possible, it has al- so robbed the Austro-Germans of the complete victory that might have been theirs if they had been able to force the Russians to fight to a. finish instead of the latter being able to withdraw their armies virtually in tact.
 In the western field of war the French offensive seems less active than for some time, pending consoIi- dation of the ground already won and clearer insight into the next move projected by the, Germans.
 From far off Lake Victoria Nyanza, in Africa, the British War office re- ports a fruitful British attack on the German fortified port of Bukoba, the movement being made both from land and water, with the result that on June 25 the fort was destroyed, the wireless station put out of action, l many boats sunk and. guns captured and destroyed.

The advices came from Anbassa,- dor Gerard and were notably the first of a definite nature received since the American note reached the Ger man foreign office.
 The exact nature of the Ambassa- dors message was not divulged for obvious reasons. and it did not be- come known whether he revealed any indication of the trend of the forth coming German reply.
 The ambassadors despatch was of sufficient detail, however, to put of, ficials in an optimistic attitude. It was municated at once to Pres ident Wilson at the summer White House at Cornish, N. H.
 Ambassador Gerard based his ob- servations on the favorable effect which the visit of Dr. Anton Myer- Gerhard, en1issary of Count Won Bern storf, the German ambassador here, had produced on officials of the Ger man government.
 Gerhard was understood by Arnbas- sador Gerard to have reported that public opinion in the United States had been growing more and more fa- Vorafble to Germany when the sinking of the Lusitania undid what had been also, that the United States did not destre war but wanted a. satisfactory reply to its represen tations.

THIRTY YEARS IN ONE PLACE, SALOON IN SOUTHPORT CLOSED
 BY SUPERIOR COURT DECISION

Judge Fillmore s. Banks, who repre- sented Rfst, pointed out that inas- much as the place had been a saloon for so many years it would be unjust for the Walkeman Memorial associa- ton, a newcomer in the neighborhood, to expect the court to deny 9. renewal of the license.
 The courts interpretation of the 1907 statute will be interesting to lawyers. He finds that when a sa- loon proves annoying to a charitable institution in the immediate vicinity and when objection is made, the H- cense should not be granted. He holds that the same rule applies in the case of a renewal as for a, new license. The loss of his license will be a serious blow to R1st
