.S-DAYSTRIKE MAY
BRING N.Y.FAMINE.
Hartigan Urges That Sur
vey of Supply Sources
Be Made.

Should a railroad strike shut on New
York's outside food supply, the city
would be without meat in eight days,
according to statistics in the hands OF
the American Meat Packers Associs-
tion.
The city's store of vegetables and
perishable fruits would be exhausted
much sooner. without the nightly
milk trains the situation would become
appalling.
A letter recommending that action
be taken to prepare for any tie-up OF
the traffic in foodstuffs such as would
be entailed in a great railroad strike
has been sent TO Acting Mayor Frank
L. Bowling by Joseph j. Hsrtigan,
Commissioner Of Weights and Meas
ures. and secretary Of the Mayors
committee on food supply.
As New York depends virtually en-
tirely on food supplies shipped from
the outside. Mr.. Hartigan suggests
that the Acting Mayor have a survey
made OF all avenues Of food supply
that could be utilized in case Of a
railroad strike. The investigation also
would include the gathering Of facts
relative 10 the amount Of foodstuf!s
in storage in or near New York.

ITALIANS JOIN
BALKAN FIGHTING
Launch Attacks in Albania
to Test Strength
of Foe.
fRr Cahl. % M rthuns. ]

London, Aug. 13.-Fresh indications
that the long awaited Balkan offensive
of the Allies is about to begin comes in
the news to-day from Vienna that the
Italians also have started active opera
tions there. No mention is made Of
this in the official statements from any
Allied source, but the Vienna COM
munioue says that there was "skirmish-
ing along the lower Voyusa, in Al
bania."
Military experts here attached the
greatest Importance to this news. The
Voyusa, or Viosa, empties into the Adri-
attic little north of Nslona, where the
Italians had an army of around 100000
men at last accounts. This is, Of
course. the extreme left ot the Allied
line across Northern Greece and South
ern Albania.
All previous activity along this line
has been at the eastern end, near Sa-
I lcnica. where unofficial reports on Az
gust II said that the Allied forces had
gained important positions near LsNe
Doiran. The important fact in to-day
news is the extension Of activity all
along the line.
While there is nothing to indicate that
A general offensive has been begun, II
is apparent that the entire Allied force
in ,he Balkans is feeling out the en-
emy's positions. 1t is possible that the
operations so far reported are similar
TO the raids which were made by the
British along the line in France, TO find
how greatly the enemy has been weak
ened bv the withdrawal Of men TO other
fronts.
An official Bulgarian statement from
Sofia regarding the fighting IN the
neighborhood of Doiran says that all
attacks by the Allies were repulsed, and
terms the fighting "mock engage
ments." following the lead Of Berlin
which reported "sham" fighting. Ihe
statement follows:
After day-long bombardment oi
our positions south anu S0u'N N--'..,
Doiran Lake on August 10 the enemy,
under the protection of similar bonn
bardment, attacked our positions, on
the morning Of the llth. Our artillery
dispersed the attacking parties, inlet
ing considerable loss by curtain fre'
our guns then directed their hre
against the enemy artillery. which was
silenced.
AT 4 o'clock in the afternoon the en-
emy renewed the bombardment but
there was no infantry attack. All these
actions were pure mock engagements
An enemy detachment attempted 20
capture a height northwest Of the VII
lage of Pahovo, but was repulsed by

thoritatively, is prepared to take
extra-legal steps TO avert what he re-
CARDS as an impending national "a.
lamity. A reporter for The Tribuns
was informed that President Wilson
would tell both sides, just as Presi-
dent Cleveland did in 1894, that Il it
took every soldier in the country and
all the gold in the Treasury TO send

a national calamity, but a national
peril.

This action has been taken by the

Win Zlota Lipa and
Sweep on Bothmer's
Flank.
MOVE 7 MILES
FROM HALITZ
Letchitsky's Troops Also
Advance West of
NadVorna.

London. Aug. 13.-At every point
4, The lO0-mile front in Galicia the
Russians smashed through the
erumpling Austrian defences to-day
and swept on toward Lemberg.
The days fighting won for the
Cars troops practically the whole Of
the sector Of three hundred square
miles between the Stripa and the
Koropiec rivers, most of the territory
through which the upper Sereth runs,
the lower part Of the Zlota Lipa line,
the Dniester front as far west as
Nariampol and a ten-mile advance
west Of Nadvorna, on the lower Bys-
tritza line.
These successes are all of the high
est importance. The advance Of
Sakharor's forces in the Sereth re-
zion threatens TO cut at any moment
the Tarnopol-Krssne-Lemberg Rail-
road. The victories west of the Stripa
line-vhich fell TO the Russians yes
terday, When Won Bothmer was COM
pelled to retire because of the press
ure on his fanks and the menace of
envelopment-bring the troops of
Letchitsky almost on the rear Of the
Austrians, who are swiftly retreat
ing along the road to Potutory.
Bothmer's Position Perilous.
The seizure Of the lower Zlots Lipa
district not only robs Won Bothmer of
temporary line Of defence, bnt even
threatens 70 bring the Russians down
UPON his right flank and rear before
be can escape.
The extension Of the Russian lines
along the north bank of the Dniester
and the capture Of Mariampol bring
Letcbitskv within seven miles OF
Hsltz, the southeast gateway to Lem
berg. Observers here believe that this
railway centre will fall TO the Russians
without shot. as Stanislau did. With
HsNtz I'm Russian hands, the Gnlta
Lima line will be made untenable for
'he Austrians, and there will be no
further barrier 10 the Russians ad-
vance 20 the outskirts OF Lemberg.
Austrisns Weakened in South.
The continued advance of the Rus
ian forces west Of Nadvorna is rolling
'hc Austrians against the foothills Of
'he CarDathians. and slowly opening up
tho mountain passes TO the Russians.
To.dsy's operations in this sector cost
the Austrians more than a thousand
mcn.
The greatest curiosity is being ex-
pressed i'm military circles here as 10
'ae fate Of Won Bothmer's army. There
is no doubt that the Austrian com
mander had long since made complete
preparations for a swift retreat from
the Stripa line, but whether he antici-
pated such amazing power and speed
as the Russian advance has shown IN
the last week is a question. critics
doubt that he has yet completely es-
capped.
It is apparent that the double of.
fensive Of the Russians north and
south left Won Bothmer but one line
Of retreat-that along the railroad
through Potutory and BrZezsny 10
Lemberg. This road has but q single
track and presents far more difficulties
% a rapid and safe retirement than the
larnopol-Krasne road. Moreover, this
line, curving southwestward before u
branches at Potutory, is perilousiy
close TO that section of the Koroplec
and Llota Lipa lines. which the Rus
SLAMS have been overrunning IN the
last two days.
