RUSSIANS AGAIN ADVANCE
Petrograd Reports Repulse of All Teu.
ton Counter Attacks.

ton Counter ATTACKS.
The Austro-German effort to
throw back the Russians in Galicia
has resulted in great losses and
met with no success, the Petro.
grad war Office announced.
The Russians, whose drive had been
temporarily held up, are again ad-
vancing and report success in several
sectors.
At one point the Russians have
driven across the Galician border line
into Hungary. PetrOgrad announces
the approach Of Russian troops to the
summit of the range near KorosmeZo,
which is about three miles inside Hun
garian territory.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, who
was expected long since to have been
furnished with the men and weapons
to start where he left off last year,
will soon have to face one of the great
est strategists the war has brought
to the fore.
General Ruzsky, who has now taken
command of the northern armies of the
czar, is probably the most brilliant
commander Russia has.
Some military observers are of the
opinion that the sudden lull in the
Russian offensive in Galicia portends
a stroke OF greater magnitude by Ruz-
sky somewhere in the north. 1t is held
that the success OF the Teuton counter
attacks in checking the Russians
a thing they had been unable to &C.
compIish for weeks-is due to the sud-
den weakening of the Russian lines by
the transfer of troops to other Sec
tors

Lone Veteran Parades in Washington.


Through the busy traffic OF Pennsyl-
vania avenue, in Washington, from the
Capitol to the Treasury, marched a
vision Of half century ago.
Clad in a faded blue uniform, eyes
front, shouldering the old-fashioned
rifle with a tiny American flag tiut;er-
ing from the bayonet, with marching
steps he moved while thousands OF
passersby suspected they were seeing
a ghost.
It was Sergeant John Kirk celebrat-
ing the fifty-fourth anniversary Of the
day he marched to join the Union col
ors. On his breast he wore congress
ional medals for gallantry in action,
service in Indian wars and his badge
as a past department commander Of
the Grand Army in Pennsylvania. He
lives at New Cumberland, Pa. ..
The police decided there was no
need to issue a permit for the one
man parade.

WILSON VETOES
new ARMY BILL
Opposes EyGmpting Retired o.
fiCerS From Court Martial.
MEASURE IS RE-INTRODUCED
Objectionable Clause Was Forced In
to Measure Against Wishes of the
War Department.

President Wilson vetoed the army
appropriation bill.
He did this because of exemptions
from discipline for retired officers iorc-
ed into it by the house confereeS led
by Representative Hay, chairman Of
the house military committee, over
the opposition of the war department.
A new bill was made necessary and
may delay adjournment OF congress.
Mr.. Hay at once said he would rein
troduce the bill in the house, with the
features to which the president OBJ
iected eliminated.
He followed this announcement by
reintroducing the bill with not only
the section to which the president OBJ
jected, but with the whole revision Of
the article Of war eliminated. This
threatened to complicate the situation.
Mr.. Hay announced that he would
seek to pass the bill in the house un-
der a special rule on Tuesday.
1.-THE articles of war will not be per-
mitted to get through in this bill
again." he declared emphatically, after
a conference with several members Of
the military committee.
The danger of complication and de-
lay lies in the fact that, as Senator
Chamberlain, Oregon, chairman of the
senate military committee, pointed cut,
if the house passed the bill with ut
revision Of the articles Of war, the
senate probably would re-insert them
as they were passed by the senate
The president and war department
were satisfied with that provision.
"The yeto," said Senator Chamber
lain, "reorens the whole bill and there
may be some senators who will want
to review their fight for amendments
stricken out in conference"
There have been broad intimations
that the revision of the articles OF war
phich proposed to remove retired Off
GERS from the jurisdiction of courts
martial was IN the interest of Major
General T. C. Ainsworth, who while in
the service was very active in legls-
lative affairs, very close to congress-
men framing army bills, and until his
retirement as audjtant general was
reckoned as a power in legislation af-
fecting the army.
It was reported some time ago that
with his liability to court-martial re-
moved, General Ainsworth was likely
to make some very free criticisms OF
the present military administration.
The presidents veto of the bill is
one of the developments OF years of
contest between the army and Mr..
Hay. The downfall of the continental
army scheme and substitution of the
national guard reorganization against
the, he,recommendation of army officers IS
attributed to him.
OnlNthe force of President Wilson's
interference put the regular army In
crease in the new reorganization blu
through the house in the face of Mr..
Hays opposition. Recently the presi'
dent appointed Mr. Hay to a judgeship
on the court of Claims, and he now IS
serving under his last term in con-
gress.
The war department contends that
many features of the army bill were
written into it in the conference, and
never were debated in the house or
senate.

AWAIT AUSTRIAN CRASH
First Big Break in War Lineup Il

First Big Break in War Lineup Is
Expected in Paris.
All France is looking toward Austria
for the first signs of the collapse OF
that power.
1t is felt that Emperor Francis
Joseph's armies, after the heavy losses
already sustained, cannot much longer
resist the combined pressure of the
Russian and Italian offensives.
For the moment the dual monarchy
holds the centre of interest in the war
theatre. Many believe that the equili'
brium which has held the opposing
groups of powers almost motionless so
long is about to be broken.
