ADVERTISING WOMEN

the annual convention of the Associated
Advertising Clubs, here June p to 80,
and those in charge of the program eX-

There are half a dozen clubs of ad-

advertising clubs especially out in
sections where women's suffrage is in

Miss J. j. Martin. of New York, adj

be Miss Olive Cole. Boston, advertising
manager for big safety razor com

Speaking of the proposed conference

women and to discuss problems peculiar
to their daily work, Miss Martin said
former advertising conventions have
been planned with the apparent thought
that the advertising women wanted

there will be ample proof of this at

Breaking Austrian Center

LONDON, June 1.-THE chief gain
Of ground announced by the Russians
during the past twenty four hours was
on the Austrian center which up to now
had held comparatively firm. The
Russians claim to be breaking this re-
sistance. The main contest has been
on the front just north Of Buczacz on
the river Stripa. Here the Russians are
declared to have overthrown the Aus
trian army and taken 5000 prisoners.
For the time being the rapid move
ment on the wings and the cavalry
dash in Volhynia toward the Kove
junction seems to have slackenet
somewhat. The morning newspaper:
today print only brief specials from
Petrograd and some of these give evi
dence of considerable delay in tele
