The Russians have captured Jablo- nitza. one of the principal gateways from Gaicia to the Hungarian plains, and Petrograd reports that their of fensive in this direction is continuing. This is the first news of an advance by tn, Russian southern army since the conquest of the Austrian crOwnland of Bukowina was completed.
 Further to the north the Russians are continuing their driving operations against the Austrians with apparently uninterrupted success. Their troops are pouring across the Zlota Lipa at several points in. spite of desperate re- sisance on the part of the Teutonic armies. A fierce fight is being waged along the entire line south of Brody and General BrussilOf is apparently making a supreme effort to cut off the army of General Won Bothmer and force it's surrender.
 As far as other theatres of war are concerned, main. interest centers in the Italian sections, no important ac- ton being reported on either the Brit ish or French fronts. The Italians are vigorously pressing their adversaries and Rome reports the capture of sev- eral sections of the Austrian trenches and the taking of more than 1900 prisoners. Unofficial despatches from Italian sources claim that General

Cadonoria is now within thirteen miles ot Trieste and that the Austrian fleet has left the harbOr.
 The Austrian official statement re- ports tke repulse of Italian attacks in Vipacco valley and eighteen miles east of Gorizia, but the official statements from both sides are very meagre and leave the general situation vague. IF ress despatches from Geneva and Paris dealafe that TOlminO, consider ed one of the most formidable barriers between the Italians and Trieste, is being evacuated by the Austrians and that the italians are already in the suburbs of the town. The Germans admit that the British have captured more trenches in the Thiepval, but report repulses in other sectors. Re ports from London and Paris passed without any significance.
 Another report of fighting on the Balkan front comes from the Berlin war office, which states that a small engagement occurred south of Lake Doiran. There has been further fight ing in this theatre recently and all have come from German or Bulgarian sources. As on previous occasions, Berlin claims that the fighting was of small importance and resulted in a re- pulse for the allies. London and Paris both remain silent as to the situation at SaIOnilli.

KING GEORGE ISSUES GENERAL ORDER TO ARMY IN FRANCE Expressing His Appreciation at Their
 Splendid Condition.

London, Aug. 15.-After a visit to the front, King George today issued a general order to the army in France, expressing his appreciation of the splendid condition and cheerful con f1dence of all ranks. and through per- sonal visits to the scenes of later des- perate struggles, his understanding of the demands made on the courage of the men and the physical endurance required to assail and capture posi- tions prepared during the last two which were stoutly defended to the last
 T realize not only the splendid work done in immediate touch with the also the vast organizations behind the fighting line, honorable alike to the genius of their initiatOrs and to the hearts and hands of the workers. EV- anywhere there is proof that all men and women are playing their part. and I rejoice to think that their noble eff forts are being heartily seconded by all classes at home"
 After an allusion to the happy re- latiOnS between the allied armies and the populations where they are quar- tered, King George concludes his mes sage as follows:
 Do not think that I and your feI- low cOuntrymen forget the heavy sac riffces the armies have made and the bravery and endurance they have dis played during the two years of bitter conflict. These sacrifices have not been in vain. The arms of the allies will never be laid down until our cause has triumphed. I return home more than ever proud of you. May God guide you to victory"
 The above despatch is the first in formation that King George had been to the front in France. His last pre- vious visit in October. 1915, the king was injured by a fall from his horse while inspecting the troops.

GOVERNOR HOLCoMB HAS
 RETURNED FROM VACATION
Will See That Guardsmen CT Border
 Have Privilege to Vote.

Hartford Conn, Aug. Ex-Governor HoIcomb has returned from Maine, where he has been on a vacation for two weeks, and was at the capitol to- day.
 The governor was asked if he in tended to call a special session of the general assembly to provide for the taking of a vote of the Connecticut troops in Arizona.
 T think the boys from this state who have entered the military service of the country ought not to be penal ized by disfranChIsement," he replied. It would be doing them a great wrOng g to deprive them of an opportunity to Vate. If there is a necessity of call ing Q special session in order to make arrangements to enable them to vote, I will certainly call one"
 Do you think the vote can be taken constitutionally if the legislature pro- vides the legal metnod?'
 T am of the opinion that the gen era1 assembly has power to provide a way to enable our boys to vote. The question of the COnStitutiOnaHty of the act of the general assembly is for the supreme court to determine, and not for the executive" replied the gov ernor.
 The governor added he would not call an extra session until he heard definitely from Washington as to how long the Connecticut troops will be kept in the federal service.

Four Battle Cruisers and Four Battle ships Among the Ships to be Built in 1917-Vote Stood 283 to 51, Seven Members Not Voting

Washington, Aug. 15.-Congress vir- tually completed the national defense programme tonight by finally approv- ing the great increases in naval con- strUct1on and personnel written into the naval bill and urgently supported by the administration

 The personnel increases on which there also was disagreement in con- ference were approved without a rec ord vote.
 Personnel and Construction.

Pre- viOusly the house had refused to adopt a continuing building programme, had authorized only five capital ships, all of them battle cruisers. and had pro- vided for a personnel of only 65,O00.
 Less Important Sections.
 On several less important sections, including appropriations for improve ment of navy yards, the house insist ed on it's disagreement to senate in creases and voted to send the bill back to conference for settlement of these points. An early agreement is ex- peCted, however. and the measure may be sent to the president for his sigma tuTe within a week. Secretary Dan- iels issued a statement tonight poinG- ing out that the building authoriza- tiOns in the bill were the greatest ever passed in any country and would give the United States, in the opinion of naval authorities the second largest navy in the world. He declared the measure "so complete and nearly per feet that it will stand as a model for all navy bills for future legislators"
 The vote by which the house ac- cepted the senate increase on the building programme was non-uartisan, the majority of both democrats and re- publicans voting in the affirmative.
