RUSSIANS MEETING STRONGER ATTACKS
 0N EASTERN FRONT
Slavs Have Not Lost the Initiative VOn linden burg's Personal Direc-
 tion Is Felt E.

Petrograd, August 6-(Via London.) Since the loss of Brody by the Austrians and the successful operations of the Rus sians against the Germans which re- suited in their gaining the whole of the line along the Stokhod, the situation on the Russian General Brussiloff's front has remained virtually unaltered A
 The Russians have not lost the initia- tive, but another wave of most energetic German resistance has set in and the new ly organized Germany army, composed of all available reserves and fresh re- cruits, has undertaken the task of chang ing it's tactics from passive resistance to most active counter offensive. Field Marshal Von Hindenburgs personal di- rection of the operations is quite ap- parent but it is not thought possible by the Russian observers that he can more than temporarily check the advance of the Russian forces upon Kovel.
 The Austrians, concentrating on the roads to Lemberg, are endeavoring to hold their opponents in the region of the Sereth river few miles southwest of Brody. The Russians already have scored minor successes in this continuation of the Brody battle, but the strong Austrian defense leaves the outcome in doubt
 The extreme southern flank of the Austrian forces under General Pflanzer, which were so badly shattered after the fall of Czernowitz, have brought about partial reorganization and are making new attack on the left wing of Gen. eral Brussiloffs forces southwest of Kuty. This attack is by small numbers of men and military observers think there is slight hope of effectng any real change in the situation.

Tension Relaxes

Berlin, August 5.-(Via London, August to dispatches from S fla, the tension created by Roumania's re- cent position toward the central powers is rapidly subsding and the crisis is con- sdered passed It is generally believed here that while the joining by Roumania of the entente allies had been seriously considered. Roumanian statesmen, in view of the present military situation to which the change in command on the Russian east front contributedmaterially have de- cided to postpone action. The announce ment that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is in command of the Austro-German forces along this front is said to have created a deep impression in Bucharest. It is understood that the Roumanian government had intended declaring war solely on Austria Hungary and not against Germany and Bulgaria.

several officials of the brotherhoods, ad- dressed a mass meeting here tonight in favor of the eight-hour day. The meet ing was attended by more than 600 chair men of the adjustment committees rep resenting workers on all the country's S railroads.
 MT. Malone declared the railroad opera tors should realize that stupid lack of economic vision in handling this problem will do more to aid agitation for govern ment ownership of railroads than any thing the advocates of government own- ership could accomplish
 "The railroad companies say that $1,50O,- 100000 represents the wages paid to em- ployes of the railroads in America each year, but they fail to tell the public that there are 1,So0,OO0 employees, which means that each man gets about $S3S year, which in these days of economic stress Is not living wage.
 w. S. Stone, president of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, was one of the speakers.
 'The 14S railroads of this country are controlled by 65 directors" he declared. "They in turn are under the dominance of Is banks and these Is banks are in the hands of three Wall street interests. These men, constituting a directing group of 12, are all located on one short black in Wall street These men are dictating the manner of living to 100000 employees of the railroads and thereby to a certain ex- tent ilfluence the lives of 100000 per sons dependent upon these railroad men.
 "These men have a right to an eight hour day They have the right of decent living, to spend a reasonable part Of their lives with their families.
