Rapid Newspaper Work

AS an illustration of the rapidity
With which the British newspapers ana
telegraphs work when great occa
sion arises. it may be stated that the
news of the naval battle reached Car
diff and Edinburgh two minutes after
it was given out at the press bureau
and the newspapers of those two cities
were displaying it to the public few
minutes later. In London copies of the
official statement appeared as if by
magic IN shop windows. clubs. theatre
Hobbies. hotels and restaurants. while
huge posters put out by the evening
newspapers stared the population in
the face at every street corner. The
view had apparently been very gem
eral that the German fleet would not
care risk full fedeed engagement
Confidence in the great British fleet
kept its hold on tn, populace, despite
the undeniably heavy losses chronicled
in the official accol hts Of the fight
Everywhere the talk was not SO much
of the loss as of a determination to
carry on the struggle against Germany
With increased force.
Newspaper Comment

monsters of the air have shown them

over the British counties. Their real func.

that they were the far-seeing eyes.

URGES THE CHILDLABOR LAW
President Wilson Personally Visits
Capitol to Emphasize His Demand
for Measure on Congress.

Washington, July 19.-President
Wilson made a personal visit to the
capitol today to emphasize his desire
that a child labor law be put on the
statute books at the present session
of congress. To senate leaders whom
he summoned to a series Of confer
ences in the presidents room adjoin-
ing the senate chamber, he insisted
that the child labor bill passed by the
house should be made a part of the
legislative program to be put through
the senate before adjournment.
Determined opposition by southern
senators forced the house bill, which
would prevent shipment in interstate
commerce of goods manufactured
wholly, or in part, by children out Of
the imperative program drawn up by
the Democratic caucus last Saturday.
1t was left in a secondary position. to
be considered only If time remained
after other measures regarded as
more urgent had been disposed of
Mr.. Wilson had been told that an eff
fort TO force its passage would mean
a serious party revolt

complished anything more than to
bring his own position in the matter

RUSSIANS PUSH
TEUTONS BACK
Advance on Northern Border
of GaliCia Continues With
out interruption.
BERLIN ADMITS RETIREMENT
Gen. Won Linsineen's Army in Flight
Toward Lemberg-British At
tack Broken Up.

London, July 22.-The Russians, ad-
vancing on the northern border of Ga
Hcia, have taken another long stride
toward Lemberg, the chief goal of
their campaign at the lower end of
the eastern battle front. Near the
source of the Styr and Lipa rivers,
the Russians struck a heavy blow
against the Austro-German army IN
der General Won Linsingen and swept
the Teutons from the most powerful
defenses between Lutsk and the Ca
Kcian frontier. The Slav soldiers at
tackled with reckless fury, using the
bayonet. For that reason only few
prisoners were captured, Petrograd
reporting the total as 1900.
Won Linsingen in Flight.
Won Linsingen's army is now in
flight across the Galician border and
Lemberg is not far beyond. Both vi
emma and Berlin announce the retire
ment of the Austro-German forces in
this vicinity to Berestechk, not far
north of Brody. The Russian army
operating in this sector is under COM
mand of General Sakanaroff, one OF
Brusiloffs subordinates. By forcing
his way past the Lipa and Styr rivers,
Sakanaroff has driven deeper salient
into the Teuton lines and the retire
ment of the main Austrian forces in
Eastern Galicia must follow if the Rus
sian advance is not checked quickly
Fighting for possession of the
heights at Berstechk already is devel-
oping, Petrograd says, indicating that
the Russians have lost no time in fol-
lowing up their advantage and are in
tent on striking further blows before
the Austro-Germans can organize
strong defensive lines.
