OUTER DEFENSES
NOW THREATENED
CONTINUED From First Pagel


on the Dniester
Making a stand, the Teutons finally
brought the Russians to a halt. The
break in the lines, however, has made
a regrouping of the Teutoric forces
necessary and this is now in progress.
With rapid strides the Russians are
forcing their way along the Dniester
in Galicia in the direction of Halicz'
considered one of the main outlying
defenses of Lemberg on the south.
General Letchitzkys army has al
ready reached the Dniester to the
south of Mariappol, a town only
miles southeast of Halicz. Likewise
they are pressing toward Hahcz tur7

Italians Spread Out
Spreading out in fanlike forma-
ton from Gorilla the Italians are pres
sing the Austrians to the east and
southeast along a twelve-mile 'front.'
The principal thrust is apparently di-
rected southeast toward Triest with
the probable object of forcing the
Austrians from their saient in the
bend of the Isonzo south of Gorilla.
French Bombarding Germans
British pressure on the Somme front
is being continuously eXerted against
the Germans in the Bazenttn-le-Petlt

Letimbro Fired on U-Boat;
Troops Believed on Board

Amsterdam, Aug. II, via London
A semiofficial account of the sinking
by a submarine recently of the Italian
mail steamship Letimbro, received
here to-day from Vienna, says the
Italians fred on the submarine with
two guns, and that there were troops
on board.
After the submarine had fired a
warning shot at a distance of 5000
meters" the statement says, the
vessel opened fire from two guns at
the stern and attempted to escape by
zigzagging. The submarine pursued
the steamship, replying to the fire
without hitting the vessel, which had
shown no flag. Later boats were
lowered by the steamer. After ascer-
tanning that no one remained on board
the steamship was sunk by the sub
marine.
Approaching the boats. the sub
marine ascertained that of 80 persons
in one boat, 90 wore khaki which con-
firms the suspicious of the submarine
commander that he had sunk vessel
with troops on board"

DR.. Surface Is Refused
a Hearing on Charges

DR.. H. A. Surface has been refused
a public hearing of charges against
him and is preparing for eventualities.
DR.. Surface to-day received a let
ter from Secretary William H. Ball
stating that the Governor had directed
him to refer DIR. Surfaces request for
a hearing and inquiries which the
Zoologist had made of the Governor to
Secretary Patton.
The Zoologist then made a request
for a public hearing to the Secretary
and was refused in most suave man
ner.
When asked what he intended to
do about it now DR.. Surface said that
he had always acted as the law and
the gospels directed and that he pro-
posed to abide by them now. He
added that the farmers and orchard
men of the State would probably be
given information from time to time
about the State government.
DR.. Surface to-day sent to the prin-
ters bulletins on the tent caterpillar
and the danger to orchards from mice
girdling trees. He plans to work in
his office up to the day set for the
end of his term when he says he will
do as the law requires and permits.

Austrians VGinly Trying to
Reform Shattered Lines
By associated Press

Rome, via Paris, Aug. II. - The
importance of the Italian successes
around GoriZia is becoming more evil
dent hourly. The battle is continuing
behind the city over a front about II
miles long. The Austrians have re-
treated along the railroad in the
direction of Dornberg, eight miles
southeast of Gorilla, and over the ma
tional highway to schon Pas, six
miles to the east, and are now at
tempting to reform their front on a
line extending from Vipaco to Tar
nova.
Meanwhile the Austrians are at
tempting to take the offensive at
Monte Nero and various other points
of the Italian front, but thus far have
been unable to divert the Italians from
their operations behind Gorilla.
Popular enthusiasm is at high pitch
throughout Italy. Congratulations are
pouring in from all parts of the world
to King Victor Emmanuel and General
Cadorna. The king and the COM
mander-in-chi have been particu-
larly pleased by messages from Italians
in New York and other parts of the
United States.

Monte sabotino and Monte San

Monte Sabotino and Monte San
Michele.
While the success of the Italians
undoubtedly was due largely to the
new heavy artillery. which matched
at last. after a year of waiting for
their manufacture, the heavy S05 mil
limetre Austrian guns, yet hand to
hand fighting was appalling in fierce
ness, bayonets, knives, bombs, cavalry
swords, pistols and arms of every de-
Scription being used.
Personal deeds of heroism were
plentiful, especially in connection with
the Italian use of a new method for
destroying barbed wire entanglements,
involving the almost certain death of
the soldier who plants the bomb for
this purpose.
The taking of Monte Sabotino, the
key to Gorilla and the vast section sur
rounding it, is regarded as the biggest
feat in all the fighting in the lower
ISonzo region.

SAFETY
MUST BE THE RULE
Deputy Attorney General Kun
Says Present Day Must Be
Considered on Laws

Safety gates for mine cages may
be approved for use in coal mines of
PENNSYLVANIA by Chief of Mines James
E. Roderick if they meet requirements
of safety contemplated by the acts
of the Legislature and rules and regu-
lations of the department even if con-
troll is not controlled by method pre-
scribed by a statute of 1911 accord
ing to an opinion given to Chief Ro-
derrick to-day by Deputy Attorney
General Joseph l.. Kun. The gate in
question has been approved by twenty
seven of thirty bituminous inspectors
while three have not consented to its
use because of control being different
from what is required by the act OF
five years ago. In rendering his de-
cision Mr. Kun says The reference
in the portion of the act above quoted
to the control of safety gates by the
cage at the top and intermediate land
ings' must be regarded merely as de-
scriptive of appliances and apparatus
then known to be safe and efficient.
1t is in no sense a mandatory provi-
sion. To hold otherwise would put
a handicap and bar on improvement.
