RUSSIAN PLANS IN
 THE GALICIAN WAR

PETROGRAD, June 1S.-While Gen. yon Linsengen is hammering at the Russian right along the Dniester, the Russian center is fighting to get into position to strike a flank blow against Mackensen's main army.
 A regrouping of Russian forces to the south Of the Stryja-Tysmienica front is in progress. Russians who re- treated from Pryzemysl are making a stand northeast of Mosciska and to the northwest of Grodck along the Przemysl-Lemburg railway. Artillery duelllng is in progress there. Thurs day night the Russians withdrew the remaining troops from the forts east of Przemysl and began retiring to- wards Medyka. The Germans bom- barded the retreating columns but did little damage.
 Russian experts declare the main contest is now taking place on the Hanks. along the San and Dneister rivers. These widely separated plac. es compel the Germans to lengthen and weaken their front. The Russians are preparing to make great sacrifice es to hold their positions upon the Dneister, so as to stem Won Lins- engen's advance against Lemburg from the South.

WANTS
 NEUTRALS TO
 STOP THE WAR

WASHINGTON. June 1S.-William J. Bryan gave out the third and com cludmg statement concerning the war. it's cause and the peace remedies that he would apply He suggests mediation by the neutral nations as the proper way out of the difficulties that confront Europe
 As a preventive of war. Mir. Bryan suggests the universal extension of his Investigation commission peace treaty plan. He says if the difference es between Austria and Serbia had been submitted to an international commission for an investigation and report and one year allowed the com mission in which to make the inyesti- gation and report there would have been no war in Europe
 In part Mr Bryaus statement said:
 Great nations cannot be extermin- ated. Predictions made at the begin ming of the war have not been full filled. The British did not destroy the German fleet in month Germany did not take Paris in two months The Russians did not eat Christmas dinner in Berlin.
 But even if extermination were possible. 1t owuld be crime against civilization which no nation or group of nations could afford to commit.
 When can peace be restored in Europe? Anytime-now-if the par ticipants are really weary of this war, and ready for it Co end. 1T any nation is not ready for peace. let its ruler or ruling authority state in clear and distincr and definite manner the terms upon which 1t is willing to agree to peace. Then. it an agree ment is not reached. blame for com tinuance of the war will be upon those who make unusual and unduly hard

GERMANY PLANNING
 FOR PEACE AGAIN

NEW YORK. June 1S.-A Herald Washington special says that when the question of peace between the bel ligerents in the European war is talk en up. Germany's principal demand win be one in which the United States will be in complete accord with her, and which this government will be just as interested in bringing about. This is the freedom of the seas, for the lack of which the United States now has several issues pending with Great Britain. The fact that the day will come when the two governments will be interested in obtaining the same guarantees is suggested as reason why a break between the Unit ed States and Germany should not be permitted to occur Authoratiye in- formation is that the United States, on friendly terms with all the bellig- erents will be called on within three months to sound out the terms of peace

BIC DAM
 TULFILLS
 ALL HOPES

For the first time since 1t was com pleted in August, 1914. when water was turned into it. the Salmon creek dam of the Alaska Gastineau Mining company is full of water, the over flow through the spillway having started at n o'clock this morning.
 The stability of the dam is absolute ly assured, as it has now been thor oughly tested to its full pressure. Ac. curate measurements have been made of the deaection of the arch as it rose. and these have been in accord ance with the calculated stresses and have indicated that the concrete is of very good quality and of high strength.
 The Salmon creek impounding dam. which is 165 feet in height, was de. signed by Harry L Wollenberg, chief engineer of the Gastineau company, and was built under his personal su- pervision The type of structure is the multiple radius arch dam, as de- veloped by Lars Jorgenson, of the firm of r. c. Brown & Company. San Francisco. MT. Jorgenson made a special trip to Juneau during the dams construction and approved the plans. and the work
 Nine and one half months was actu- ally consumed in constructing the dam. which is a speed record seldom eQualled. as the period includes the time spent in excavation Work was started on May l. 1913. and was sus- pended on November 1. 19lS for the winter. Construction was resumed May 1. 1914. and the water was flow into it on August q. although the dam was completed early in that month
 The total volume of 54.OOO cubic yards of concrete about 10000 cu. bic yards of rock was removed to provide the foundations.
 Today the project is developing what the original estimates provided -6.000 continuous horsepower
