sist IN telling you things about him
and his family. ask for proof-real
proof. and not hearsay evidence.
This sort never has much we ght In
you are the Judge who weighs the
testimony of both sides.
OF course. II you should discover
that the gossip is founded on fact.

Dear Annie Laurie-I have been
keeping steady company with
boy for six months and OF late
he has been taking out another
girl also, who is supposed to be
a friend Of mine. This girl is
trying to leave the wrong i'm
preston of me with him and
friends of hers. Do you think
ought to say anything about 1t
or stop going with him? l care
a lot for him and ne says he likes
me better than any other girl.
He told me that he did not care
for this girl except for a past
time. PERPLEhED.
or course the boy doesn't care
much for the girl. II he Is honor
able he won't give any heed to what
she says Don't you suppose that.
II he knows you so well. he VIII

Shenandoah Valley Since
.rl Tuesday.

+ Cumberland, Md, June 4.-The Po,
tomac river reached Water and Paca
streets yesterday, but did no damage
to houses. Wills creek went far out
of its banks, entering the back yards
of homes on North Mechanic street.
The waters are receding. The heav-
lest loss was suffered by the Wang
Construction Company, which is
erecting the new Market street
bridge. Practically all the work. in
GLIDING cofferdams, was carried
away, with the exception of one con-
crete pier. The work will probably
be delayed month. A number of
small lahdslides occurred on the
Western Maryland Railway, but little
delay to traffic resulted. At Pied
mont and Westernport the flood
washed away fences and outbuild-
ings. The water covered the dam
in Willis creek. Boxes, barrels, cross
ties and wooden wreckage were car
ried down the streams in great guam
titles.

tomac river at Williamsport over
flowed its banks yesterday and inun-
dated the lowlands. The river rose
rapidly all morning and yesterday
evening reached 26 feet above nor

wheat land are under water, which
at places is five feet deep. South of
Williamsport the river and Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal are one body
of water. The river has leaped the
canal banks on four-mile level and
families living along the canal were
forced to move to higher ground.
At Williamsport the Conocheague
creek has overflowed it's banks.

six inches of rain has fallen in the
Shenandoah Valley since Tuesday
night and it continued last night. All

MARCH ON LEMBERG
Russians are Rolled Back on One
Hundred Mile Front

| Berlin, June 1.-The Austro-Ger
man march on Lemberg has begun
{Upon 100-mile front, the combined
forces of Mackensen and Lindsinger
are rolling the Russians back upor
their last stronghold in Galicia. Thi
Siavs are making desperate efforts
to reform their lines for final
stand.
From his new headquarters in
Przemysl Genelhl Mackensen tele-
graphed a message of congratula-
tions to the King Of Bavaria today.
"The conduct of our brave Bava-
rian troops had aided US in a great
victory" wired the German comman-
der. "They have won name for
themselves in the history of a great
war;"
Nearly three entire Austro-German
army corps pressed on through
Przemysl yesterday eastward along
the Lemberg railway and occupied
Medyka, eight miles east of the cap
tured fortress, without resistance.
From the south, Won Linsingen is
hurling the full weight of his armies
against the Russian left wing. A gi-
gantic battle is Iraging along the
entire front from the region of Sam
Dor to north of Stryj. Repeated ter
rife Russian counter-attacks failed
to halt the Austro-German advance
north of Stryj, and the Russian left
is slowly retiring.
In their retreat through the great
Galicia petroleum district, the Rus
slams are setting fire to every oil
well in their path. Vienna dispatch
as estimate that $4,000 tons of oil
have been set in flames.
London, June 4-After a siege of
three weeks the fortress of Przemys'
in Galicia, has fallen to the Aus
trians. The Russians were in pos
session little over 70 days.
This news was received in London
with a certain degree of surprise,
While it had been well known that
the Russian position at Przemysl was
serious, to say the least, and that the
artillery fre of the Gttr,anic allies
was daily becoming more terrific,
the announcement from Vienna OF
an Austrian victory was not expected
80 quickly, particularly in view OF the
official statement from Petrograd OF
'ast Monday saying the Austro-Ger-
man grip before Przemysl had been
broken and that the offensive in the
great Galician struggle had passed
to the Russians.
When the Russians were forced to
abandon some of the outer Przemysl
forts they had no time to destroy the
runs. which, on falling into Austro-
German hands, were turned by their
new owners against the inner forti'
icationS.
