ALLIED ARMIES ARE
INCREASING GAINS
TEUToNS LOSE TERRITORY ON
THREE FRONTS, ACCORDING
TO LONDON.
BRITISH REMAIN QUIEScENT
Stanislau Falls to Russians, Italians
Gain Beyond Gorilla and French
Take Trenches at Hem Wood
-Bulgars Coming Back.

London.-The Russian, Italian and
French armies continue their success
full offensives, and, according to the
latest official communications, have
taken more territory from the forces
OF the central powers in France, Gal
icia and Austria. In addition the
Anglo-French have started the long
expected offensive against the Bull
gars.
These were the developments on
the various fronts:
l. Stanislau, 81 miles southeast of
Lemberg the capital of Galicia, and
an important railroad junction, has
been captured and occupied by the
Russian troops under Gen. Letchitzky.
In addition the Russians have pro-
crossed along the line OF the Sereth
river, as well as alongMthe Ziota-
Lipa. taking important positions to
the south Of Brody and capturing sew
eral railroad towns. The taking of
Stanislau opens another gateway
through which the Russians may ad-,
vance toward Lemberg. The Austro-
Germans are being pursued toward
Halich, railroad junction near Stan
islau, on the Dneister river. Petrograd
reports the capture Of 5000 more Aus
tro.Germans.
2. The Italian army, under the Duke
of Aosta, which took Gorilla, is losing
no time in its advance as a result of
the capture of the gateway to Trieste
South of Gorilla, along the lower
Isonzo the Italians have occupied the
whole of the Doberdo plateau, the
scene of much desperate fighting in
addition to driving the Austrians east
of the Vallone line and capturing sew
eral towns in the direction Of Trieste.
8. While the British forces have
been comparatively inactive north Of
the Somme in northern France, the
French have followed up their bonn
bardment Of the German lines with
the capture of additional German
trenches near Maurepas and forti-
fled quarry north of the Hem wood.
4. On the Balkan front the Anglo
French forces have attacked the Bull
garians and occupied the Dorian
railway station, 40 miles northwest of
Saloniki, according to unofficial ad-
vices.

RINSE UTENSILS AFTER USE
Prevents Water In Milk From Evapor-
ating and Solid Matter Sticking
to the Vessel.

The first important rule to observe
In cleaning dairy utensils is to rinse
them Immediately after use. This pre-
vents the water In the milk from
evaporating and the solid matter stick
ing to the utensil. If 1t is impossible
to wash the utensils at once rinse
them In cold or lukewarm water, so
that the most of the milk will be re-
moved before 1t has chance to stick.
Hot water should not be used until
the milky substances have been re-
moved with cold or lukewarm water,
for the hot water will coagulate the
casein In the milk so that 1t will
stick to the tin and require greater
amount Of washing before it can be
removed.
After rinsing In cold or lukewarm
water wash the utensils In hot water.
Cold or lukewarm water Is practically
worthless for cleaning purposes. Use
some standard brand of alkali wash
ing powder with the hot water. The
alkali powders are more desirable for
the work. since they quickly and eff
GENTLY remove the milk from the tin.
Powders or soaps that have grease
as part of their composition do not
give as satisfactory results as the
alkali powders.

Shady Lanes,

That the chief aim Of man Is not de-
effectiveness finds so few exceptions in
these parlous times that any evidence
to the contrary calls for mention.
A comforting instance of this sort is
contained In brief news item from an
exchange, thus: ION a leading road
way out of this city farmers for six
miles have agreed to plant shade trees
on both sides 60 feet apart. The same
variety of tree viii be used the entire
distance"
This is a little message with an ap-
peal that is vital. These philosophical
farmers have their counterparts In all
directions from the shaded avenues
that will result from this wholesome,
sensible, artistic and altruistic en-
deavor, already conceived. and, it is
fervently hoped, already on the way
toward being made an accomplished
fact.

Railways Of United States
Prepare for Complete Titup

Railroads of the nation in view OF
the threatened railroad strike, rush
ed preparations Wednesday to en-
force an embargo on perishable
freight. Shipments of livestock and
perishables were refused by some
roads Wednesday; others issued
warnings that perishable freight,
which cannot reach its destination
by September 9, will not be accepted
From Chicago, the railroad center
OF the country, orders were given to
ticket agents to inform passengers
that unless they reach their destina
ton by Sunday night they would be
subjected to 'perplexing delays"
Big manufacturers and business
houses swamped telegraph companies
with messages urging that their ship
ments be rushed at once MANY of
them authorized sending their or
ders by express
Associated Press dispatches from
all parts of the country indicated
that within 4S hours, unless a delav
IN the strike is ordered, embargo or
ders will be effective on practically
every railroad in the country.
Harris Weinstock, state market di-
rector OF California, said that a strike
of any duration meant ruin to thous-
ands of fruitgrowers. A Sacramento
dispatch stated that picking fruit in
that rich district had virtually ceas-
ed.
Commercial and industrial organ
lzations throughout the country were
reported "hoping for the best and
preparing for the worst" e
Railroad men hoped that many
members of the brotherhoods would
not obey the strike order. In fact
1t was rumored that little if any
pressure would be brought to bear
on the older generation of engineers
and conductors whose seniority has
placed them in well-paid positions,
many of them with pensioned leisure
not far away.
