FIGHTING CON
T|NUES ON THE
CAL|C|AN FRONT
Official Reports Conflict on Results
of Fiercely Fought
Battles.
RIVER AN OBJECTIVE POINT
Russians and Germans Waiver Back

Dniester. )
RIVER AN OBJECTIVE POINT

London, June 26.-Along that
most crucial sector of the Dniester
battle front in Galicia, between
Zurawana and Halicz, fighting is
going on. There is some conflict ov-
er the situation according to the Of
fetal reports.
The Russians claim they have
punished the Austro-German forces
there and that, by rushing up rein
forcements they have compelled
them to retreat across the river.
Berlin admits this reverse but the
Austrian communication says the
Teutonic attack there is making
progress.
North of this area and still farth-
er north, over the frontier in Po-
land, the Austro-G German advances
are sweeping forward. Whatever
the outcome of the struggle along
the Dniester, the Russian armies
have met with such reverses that, in
the belief of military experts, from
the standpoint of the allies, the
western theater seems to be the
only quarter which holds out the
possibility of a decisive action dur
ing the summer.
The French and German claims
relative to the fighting on the west
ern front are widely at variance.
Military observers here believe the
French still have their eyes on Lille,
with it's factories and railroad lines,
and advance the theory that the re-
current and persistent attacks week
in and week out along virtually the
same section of the German front
proves this.
Though meeting with the hardest
tiative in the east still rests with
the Austro-Germans. Few military
writer's care to hazard guess of
what their next move will be. 1t Is
argued by them that the situation in
the west may at any moment be-
come pressing and that Germany
and Austria may be forced to be con-
tent with having recovered Galicia
and broken the Russian offensive
without seeking further to humili-
ate her at this time. {
Slowly, owing to the difficulties
of mountain warfare, but steadily
and with grim determination, Ital-
ian forces are advancing both from
the east along the Fella valley and
from the south through Predil pass
toward Jarvis, which is the pivot of
the classical roads along which ev-
cry great invasion of Austria from
Italy has occurred.

clear across the waiting room,
flooding it, and the grass plat was
also flooded. The intake of the rail-
road pumping station is near the
waste of the gas works. The greasy
water is drawn in and this was dis
tributed literally over everything in
the vicinity.
The big tank was about twenty
feet in length and perhaps eighteen
feet across, and contained several
thousand gallons of water.
The company will be obliged now
to draw from the city water mains.

CHARGED With
White SLAVERY
Farm Hand Caught After Four
Months Chase.

Shenandoah, Ia, June ga
chase in which a married woman
and a farm hand, wanted on the
charge Of white slavery, are said to
have been pursued more than LOO
miles through Minnesota, Iowa, Illi-
nois and Nebraska during the last
four months, ended here Wednesday
when Roy Lindsey of Marshal,
Mimi, was arrested at livery barn.
The woman, Mrs. Lizzie Elston, re-
turned to her former home at Knox
vile, ILL.,, few days ago when the
chase was nearing its finish. Lind
sey, who is only % years old, came
here and was staying with his
brother, Robert Lindsey, an en-
pleye at the stables. The husband
of the woman is farmer in Mime
sofa.
The plea OF the man, who was
taken to Linn county, Mimi, by
H. o. Clark, deputy sheriff, is that
the woman furnished the money for
them to live together as man and
wife.
When the Elston family moved to
Minnesota from Illinois they took
Lindsey with them to work on the
farm. 1t is alleged that an infatua-
woman and the man who worked
for her husband.
In charge of an officer, Lindsey is
returning to the scene of the alleg-
ed broken home, where he will
await trial on a charge of violating
the Mann act. He was taken with
out requisitior papers from the gov
ernor of Iowa, as he did not resist.

TO PLUNCfS
FROM A BRIDGE
Unknown Man Found Dead Pinned
Beneath It-Cause of Accident
Near Onawa Mystery.

N Onawa, Ia, June ga plunge
j Of twenty feet from bridge into a
big ditch in an automobile resulted
in death to a man supposed to be
Leonard Williams of Missouri. The
accident occurred at Has a. m.
yesterday, six and one-half miles
east of Blencoe, a small town seven
miles south of Onawa. The driver
of the car was first noticed by a
fisherman and as the car failed to
appear on the bridge, he made a
hurried investigation, finding the
occupant pinned beneath his car at
the bottom of the ditch. Assistance
was summoned and it was necessary
to raise the car by use of team
and cable wire.
The driver had lighted foremost
into the mud and slush and death
resulted from suffocation. The car
was a Ford and bore a Nebraska
number. The only Identification
found was that of the name of Leon
ard Williams, home at Post Oak,
Mo-, written on a scratch pad found
in his belongings. He was a man
of about 25 years, weight about $50
pounds and light complexion.
The cause of the accident is a
mystery as the car left the grade
just before entering upon the bridge
approach. Authorities are making
every effort to communicate with
relatives. Inquiry has been sent to
the Nebraska registration Office to
ascertain the owner OF the car bear
ing the Nebraska number. The body
is being held for positive Identified
ton.

State Department Has Had No Of.
fetal Word for Several
Days.
FAMINE IS GROWING WORSE
Widespread Suffering Among For.
eigners in Various Cities is
Feared.

Washington, D. c., June &c.
Anxiety increased yesterday in Of
fetal quarters over the situation in
Mexico City, with which the state
department has been unable to COM
municate for several days.
Brief dispatches from Vera Cruz
say CarranZa officials were much
chagrined at the apparent failure OF
Gen. Pablo Gonzales to enter the
capital.
Reports that Gonzales was engag-
ed in an artillery duel with the Zap
atistas gave the first indication that
the Villa-Zapata forces in Mexico
City had determined to offer resist
ance to the invading Carranza army
instead of evacuating.
Reliable information indicates
that General Gonzales himself cut
the lines of communication between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City to isolate
the Zapata forces.
Famine conditions in Mexico City
have been growing worse daily and
with the investment by new army
in progress, fears are expressed that
much suffering to foreigners will en-
sue
While it has been generally un-
derstood that there will be no fur
ther development in the general sit
uation so far as the United States is
concerned until the return of Pres
ident Wilson from Cornish, it is
thought in official quarters that the
situation in the southern capital
may force a new crisis.
Dispatches from Diaz Lombardo,
Villas secretary of state at Chihua-
hua, received last night at the Viii
la agency here, denied reports that
Aguas Galleries had been taken by
CarranZa forces.
General Angeles, Villas artillery
expert, will arrive in Washington
from Boston next Friday, according
to an announcement last night. The
specific nature of his errand has not
been revealed.
Lieutenant Colonel Aguar, of Ra-
oul Madero's staff, and Major Gar
cha, of Villas staff, arrived in Wash
ington last night from the front in
central Mexico. They are said to
be on their way to New York to buy
munitions.
Reports to Red Cross headquart-
ers say the opening of the railroad
south from Piedras Negras confirms
1.-The starving of civilians south of
Piedras Negras on every hand"
Plans to bring about cooperation
between the American and the Mex
lean Red Cross were set on foot yes
terday by Miss Boardman. The state
department requested Consul Cen
eral Shanklin, now at Vera Cruz, to
get in touch with the Mexican Red
Cross officials as soon as he reaches
Mexico City and outline Miss Board
mans proposal.

The Baseball News.

i
A. visitor from a foreign land who
buys a newspaper in any city having
a major league ball team must be
surprised to sec the amount of space
given to baseball The European war
is called the most sensational and
tragic event of purely human origin
since the world began. Yet the met
ropolitan newspaper with all its ia
cilties for reporting this epochal news
usually gives more space day by day
to the ball games.
TO the average man the big figures
of the diamond, Johnson, Connie Mack,
Mathewson, ETC., seem quite as inter
esting heroes as Generals Joffre and
Hindenburg He will read the head
lines to get the war news. But the
exploits of his favorite batters and
pitchers must be studied inning by III
ming.
The moralist may say that this al
sorption in game tends to dull the IN
terest of men in the more serious
concerns Of life, and that the man who
spends his time porting over box scores
is usually not we'll informed on mat
tiers of human progress and public al
fairs. But a keen interest of this
kind is the solace for many troubles
The man who follows the ball scores
is rarely an anarchist or
and he finds diversion
for many otherwise dull hours.
