Tatarow, south of Kolomea in the
Carpathian region, have been pressed
back by a Russian attack, says the
war office statement, issued. The

Germans Retreat Ten Miles.
Petrograd, July 19-The Germans
have retreated nearly ten miles in
Volhynia under the swift advance OF
General Kaledin's left wing.
In their hasty retirement they left
several thousand more prisoners, a
number of heavy guns and large sup
plies of war material in the hands of
the Russians.
The retreat was made necessary
when several Russian regiments broke
through the German front and threat
ened to surround a part of General
Won Linsingen's army.
Advance Lines on Lipa.
The Russians have advanced their
lines to the north bank of the River
Lipa and are strengthening their new
positions in the entire front.
The advance widens the Russian sa.
lient extending into the Austro- Ger
man front southeast of Kovel, thus re-
moving the danger of crushing enemy
attacks in both sides of the Russian
wedge.
All along the eastern front the Cars
armies have suddenly resumed the in.
itiative. The Russian left wing in
southern Bukowina is again in motion
against the REINFORCED Austrian army
The infantry combats are becoming
more frequent in Galicia and both ar
tillery and infantry activity are re-
ported in General Kuropatkin's front
in the Dvinsk-Riga region on the
north.

PRESS POINTS

Wisconsin State Journal: If we give Presi-
Supreme court of the United States that will
be forward looking and possessed of a passion
to serve the interests of all the people, court
that will have as much consideration for the
future as respect for the past. The appoint
ment of Brandeis was the first great step in
that direction, and now the appointment of
John H. Clarke follows
The Madisonian: Talk about needing a tariff
after the war in Europe is ended in view of the
way the productive energy of that country is
now floating away in rivers Of blood, is the
widest kind of gibberish
Madison Democrat: So far in his utterances,
as a presidential candidate, Mr.. Hughes has
failed completely to exemplifY that judicial
temperament which 1T has been said so COM
pletely possessed him. His every utterance
since his nomination has been partisan and
sometimes extremely injudicial.
Burlington Standard Democrat: Woodrow
Wilson stands for peace, prosperity and
preparedness. He has proven his ability to up
hold them.
Waterloo Democrat: A citizen of Oyster Bay
by the name Of Roosevelt wants to raise IL 900
soldiers and go to Mexico, the papers say.
Somebody should remind him of what hap
pened to Coxey when he got his army to Wash
ington He was arrested for getting on the

HEAVY FIRING AT SALONlKl
Entente Allies Believed to Be Start
ing an Offensive.

Paris, July 19.-Official advices re-
ceived from Saloniki under date of
Monday say that cannonading is in
progress along the entire Saloniki
front. "Allies' aeroplanes burned part
of the Bulgarian crops in the region
of Monastir," the statement adds.
The information given out by the
French authorities in regard to the
situation at Saloniki is not sufficient
ly explicit to indicate whether the en-
tente allies are preparing an offensive
movement such as would be preceded
by a general bombardment. A drive
from the Saloniki front has been pre-
dicted for some time.

The income tax legislation is section 9
of that act. The tax on incomes was
designed to replace the old tariff to a
certain extent as a revenue producer.
So far as it goes, the direct tax on in

on consumption; it taxes the rich &C
