C.allino d Strike.

lt now rests with the employees of the railroads to say whether gen. eral strike will be called.
 There is no immediate hurry. there may yet be a chance of com promise. The court of arbitration which has been practically in ses- sion fer three months has adjourned. The railroads have greed to eer- tain concessions. Railroad employes declined to accept the terms of com promise. Finding no possible chance to get together the court ad- i0urned.
 Railroad operators declare that they have gone as far as they can go and that they will yield no more. The affiliated railroad hands declare that unless the men who own and operate the roads will give greatar concessions that they will walk out.
 Both are obdurate.
 The men who own the railroad can better afford the strike than the men employed.
 The railroads will stand. yards will remain unchanged, the rolling stock will be held and the other railroad property will be protected.

BELIEVE CRISIS NEARFOR TEUTONS
Tremendous Russian Drive Thought to Re a Preliminary to the Long Expected British and French
 Offensive Movements.

London. June i6.-The Russian of- fensive at Czernowitz, which Is semi-offleially reported to have been captured, is taking westward dl- rection. toward Stanislau, in an eff fort to sever Austrian communica- ton between Lemberg and all points south of the Austrian lines. The Austrian garrison at Czernowitz now faces the possibility of being forced to retreat from the Carpathians and down to the plains of Hungary. II would be a serious blow to the cen- tral powers, if this were true, for they are now practically dependent on the coming harvest.
 Allied Drive Seems Near. All dispatches from Holland agree that Germany is considering the pos sibility of reinforcing her west line in preparation for big allied of fensive there.
 The French semi-offleial commun- ication of Wednesday which saie the Germans in front of Verduf are maintaining an attitude of ex- peetancy in view of the menace
 of events which they feel sure arc
 becoming more and more imminent, is causing general discussion here ! The majority of civilians believe
 that the big drive is about to start
 1t is declared that the allies vii pick the moment when the pressure of the Russian offensive will leave Germany no choice but to move hel : lines either east OF west.
