RUSSIANS FIGHTING
 SOUTH OF CAPITAL
Petrograd Admits Loss of the Capital Which Has Been in Their Hands for Such a Long Period

LONDON, June 23.-The Russians lost Lemberg. They occupied the Gal. icisn capital early in September and
 held it continuously until Tuesday, when the combined Austro-German forces compelled them to retreat from
 the city, which is only sixty odd miles
 due west of the nearest point on the
 Russian frontier The Russian off cial tonight admits the loss of Lem
 berg, saying it was evacuated yester-
 day The Russians continued to re- treat on new front
 On the river Dneister, south of Lem
 berg, the battle is still raging. Wheth
 CT the fall Of Lemberg means the Rus
 sians are operating south of it and in
 southeast Galicia to effectively cut of the army to the north stretching across Poland to the Baltic, cannot yet be said. Newspapers in Vienna and Berlin say. in this case. Russian arms received a blow from which they cannot recover.
 If the stroke proves as crushing as the Teutons predict, its effect, miH- tary observers here say. soon should be felt in the transfer of vast German forces to the west where for days tLey have been hard pressed by the French. Early dispatches from Pet rograG related what purports to be systematic withdrawal of Russians from the town. If these details should prove cOrrent. it is believed in mili- tary circles here. when the count is taken of AustrO-German booty. it will not be large, for as at Prsemysl the Russians are said to have worked hard To move everything of military value, From Vienna, concerning the capture of Lemberg, and recounting the celebration of the populace of Vi- enna over the victory to pay tribute to the magnificent rear guard action fought by the Russians who are de- clared to have retreated eastward in good order leaving behind but few prisoners. even removing the Russian documents from the city, which, since the Russians occupied 1t, was called by them Lwow
 One telegram from Vienna says Emperor William and Emperor Fran cis Joseph propose to meet soon in the captured Galician capital for fit ting ceremonies to mark the end Of Russian dominance in Galicia." The . news Of the fall of Lembers was . known on the Continent yesterday but did not reach London until last . to-day when bulletins arrived almost . simultaneously by wireless from Der. lin and Vienna via Amsterdam

cARRANzA REFUSES TO TALK

WASHINGTON, June 23- Carran- ga informed the United States that under no circumstances would he treat with Villa or compromise with his opponents, but would continue his plan to crush his adversaries by the military campaign. The president found little hope for the accommodation of the differences as between the Mex ican factions.
 President Wilson had a long report on Carranza's views as given in an in- formal conversation with the Ameri- can consular officer at Vera Cruz. Carranza gave the same arguments for refusing to enter into peace nego- tiations as made on previous occas- ions recently.

CHORUS
Of School Children Sings To
A Large Audience

The chorus of three hundred and
fifty children under the direction of
Prof. Chubb, repeated the songs Thurs.
day afternoon in order to give an op.
portunity to the parents of these chill.
dren, and all others who could not be
present Tuesday evening, to hear these
children sing. A large audience gath.
cred, in response to the courtesy of the
Festival Association, and Mr.. Cbubb
and his chorus equalled, if not excel
led, the work of Tuesday evening. Mr..
Chubb thus strengthened his already
enviable reputation as a director of
children's choruses, and the Festival
Association board of directors gave
new proof of their great willingness to
please the people, for this extra con-
cert was the result of a popular de-
mand for the same.
However, this is no precedent, and it
is not likely that the same will be
repeated another year. Mrs. Millard
Mclntire rendered very artistivally at
the beginning of the afternoon pro-
gram a very beautiful selection on the
organ. Miss Doak accompanied the
chorus Of children and also sang very
acceptibly few sweet songs.

London, May %. - In the face OF
the tremendous Austro.German drive
through Galicia, one ray Of hope is
shining for the allies and the Rus.
SLAMS While the Teutons have crossed
the San and their overwhelming artil
lery threatens Przemysl to the south
the Russian movement in the north
around 1waniska has a slight promise
Of flanking the great German left,
which may check the center. There is
no doubt that the Russians in that
quarter have driven the German
forces southwest from Opatow, back
Of lwaniska, and if this operation 10
successfully driven home it will land
the Russians to the rear of the Ger.
man advance, threatening the commu.
nications. A movement of thi sort
at this time, when the heaviest of am.
munition is constantly necessary for
the Germans, will have an important
effect. However, developments have
not yet reached the stage where it

In the meantime the Germans and
Austrians continue to use with crush

against which the Russians virtually
are powerless. There appears to be
no limit to their employment. Dis,
patches from Petrograd report that in
order to cross the San the enemy ex.
pended between 100000 and 3,000..
600 shells, and one small area had
1000 heavy field guns at work. 1t
gave them a twenty-five mile sector
of the 100 miles between Przemys'
and Sandomir and it establishes them
now safely in their positions.
The Russian report declares that all
this advance has been won at an enor.
nous cost in human lives by the Aus
trians and Germans.

CASHIER
IS ARRESTED
, Harry c. Mcmillan Taken In.
to Custody At Mt. Gilead
After Admitting A Deficit Of
About $4,000
Says That He Juggled With
Notes Of The Bank
And Run Is Now Feared On
The Institution
Cashier Gives Bond In U. S.
Court At Columbus

Mt. Gilead, o., May 21-Short be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in his ac-
counts, Harry B. McMillin, cashier of
the National bank of Morrow county,
Of this city, was placed under arrest
here yesterday by federal and state
authorities charged with misappropri-
ating funds.
He gave bond of $4,000 in the
United States court in Columbus and
was allowed to return to Mt. Gilead
with the bank inspectors to go over
the books.
McMillin confessed to the shortage,
and during the day has been working
Oh the books with the officials, sorting
out the notes. Admitting that he
forged names in order to show bal
ances, he has exonerated the direct
ors and turned over all of his real
and personal property to the bank,
but this, it is said, will not make UP
the deficiency.
Directors of the bank stated there
was absolutely no possibility of de-
positors losing their funds. They
state that the shortage can be taken
care of without greatly impairing
their surplus. Their only fear now is
that the affair will cause run on the
bank.
The shortage was discovered late
Wednesday night when F. G. Thomas.
of Gallon, national bank examiner,
and w., F. Hutchinson, ]. A. Devine
and Frank Alighie, of the State Build
ing and Loan Association, came to
Mt. Gilead and simultaneously started
to examine the affairs of both the
bank and of the Morrow County Build
ing and Loan Association, which had
it's Headquarters at the bank, and of
which Mcmillan is secretary and
treasurer.
1t developed that McMillin for some
time past has been shifting the notes
of the bank to the building and loan
association and vica versa whenever
it was thought an examination was
due. Called upon to produce the notes
oil both at the same time, he admitted
that his accounts were short and that
some of the notes carried by the bank
were forgeries.
Two directors of the building and
loan company protested to the state
authorities that they did not sign the
last statement of the company, al
though their names appeared as at
tached to the document.
McMillin has for years been prom
inen in church, social, business and
civs affairs. He has been connected
with the bank since he was twenty
years OF age. For the past twelve
years he has been cashier of the in
stitution and prior to that time was a
bookkeeper and then teller. He has
been secretary-treasurer of the build
ing and loan company for twenty
years.
The family is one of the oldest and
most highly respected in the commun-
ity, his father being pioneer preach
er. His wife and daughter are promi.
nent in club and social circles.
McMillin has always been active in
all business affairs. He is director
in the Mt. Gilead Tile G. Pottery Co.,
the Hydraulic Press Manufacturing
Company, the Buckeye Mill Company
the National Bank of Morrow County
all of this city, and has extensive
farming interests here as well.
