Austrians Recapture Positions.

Vienna, via London, Aug. S.-The
Austrian official communication, issued
here, says:
Heavy fighting is taking place in
the region of the Gorilla bridgehead
and on the Doberdo plateau. Stub
born battles on Monte Sabinto and
Monte San Michele lasted throughout
the whole night and have not been
concluded. Counter attacks by the
Austrians resulted in the recovery of
a greater portion of the advanced po-
sitions captured by the Italians in

WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nuaI convention of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows I great in
crease in the butter production Of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the i'm
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 50 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had a very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase Of over !, 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over $4,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase Of the total value of milk and
milk products was over $427,O00. The
production Of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4,150, Al lbs.
and it brought an average price of. 23c
lbs. were produced which commanded
29c per Id. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 1861 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value of these three products is given
as So, 76O,698, in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at 1925, $50
and the cream at $158, 1927, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per 10. and OF sweet cream at &c
per lib. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry it is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 190,132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 1888 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 1876 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631 ,005, which is an In
crease Of 100000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. Il, it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid it's patrons a rate of 271ac per
Id. for butter fat and had a profit re-
manning over all expenses of 1854.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61, III and manu-
featured 256,O0O lbs. butter and 1900
Tbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 28H cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is well indi-
Gated by the growth Of a prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525,000 lbs. butter, an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found a market in all
parts of Canada and this year will en-
ter the export trade. Advertisement

RUSSIANS PRESS OFFENSIVE
CAPTURE STRONGLY FORTIFIED
POSITIONS ALONG SOUTH.
Forward Push Brings SIavs Closer to
Lemberg-Entire Austrian Front
Is Endangered.

London, Aug. 8-General Brussiloff
commander-in- chief Of the Russian ar
mics on the east front, is pressing his
offensive against the Teutonic allies
in northern Galicia, where the pas
sage Of the river Sereth was recently
forced by the Russians along wide
front south of Brody. Petrograd re-
ports further advances for the Rus
slams with the capture of strongly
fortified positions along the Sereth and
the Graberka.
The newly gained ground is in the
region of Zvyjin, Kostianiec and Rem
ieuv, where the czars troops scored
marked successes. Fierce bayonet
encounters are going on in the Sereth
river woods under the most difficult
weather conditions. A steady down
pour has turned the battlefield into
swamp.
Austrians Unsuccessful.
The forward push Of the Russians in
this sector not only is bringing them
closer to Lemberg ON the direct line
of advance but is pointed out by mill
tary critics as likely seriously to en-
danger the entire Austrian front along
the Stripa, to the south, which is rap
idly being outf1anked.
Meanwhile the Austrians and Germans
under the supreme command of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg are attempt
ing to resume the initiative from Vol
hynia to Bukowina, but thus far their
efforts have been unable to check the
Russian advance.

resolution to encourage the teaching
OF the japanese language in Austria

an is destined to be one Of the great
powers of the near future, and Incl
dentally one OF the most important
commercial markets. They feel that
knowledge of Japanese among their
students will be an important factor
In trading with Japan.
There is certainly little doubt that
great element in Japanese success
and quick rise in power and influence
Is their facility in acquiring the Ian
guage of the country with which they
covet business relations.

SOMETIM ES THEY

will appreciate the following words OF
cne of the most distinguished Demo
cratic senators more than any one
else, but in any event they are strong
words and will be taken notice of by

that while President Wilson usually
molds the Democratic members OF
Congress to serve his own sweet
will, yet sometimes they disagree.
The Senator says:
War; yes, in war we should take
chances; in war we are ready to
sacrifice anything for our country;
but in time of profound peace shall
we make the mother and the father
of this country sacrifice the boy to
make a policeman on border or a

that It will stay here and judge OF
