ARE HIGHLY IMPORTANT

London, June Especial dispatches from Petrograd express the belief that the Russian successes against the Austrians are far more important than appears from the official announcements.
 The Daily Telegraphs correspondent ventures the assertion on the authority of prominent Russian expert that "all five Austrian armies are on the eve of a general retreat and that Lemberg is ill great strategic danger"
 On the same authority it is asserted that "a strategic breach 100 miles wide has been blown in the Austrian front, involving the armies of General Count Won Bothmer and General Von Boehm- Ermolli, and part of that of Archduke Joseph Ferdinand
 According to other dispatches, the Rus sian success is largely due to the un- precedented use of artillery, surpassing in intensity any previous efforts on either side on the eastern front. The retreat

Many leaders predicted fight on the report from the floor when it was pre- sented for confirmation. Colonel Roosevelt's statement express ing willingness to speak at the repub- Hcan convention caused a sensation among the delegates as the news filtered through to them. Many appeared agi- tated and concerned when this new cui- sine in the political tides became known. { The Massachusetts delegation led the songs and shouting. "We'll nominate T.

Modern WOodmen of America PhOe- nix Camp l1465 last Wednesday even ing had the most successful meeting for many moons, at the camp hall. There were over 100 members present.
 Plans were made for the balance of the season, and with Neighbor Lavin in the conSufs chair we can expect some thing doing each evening. During the past year the growth of the camp has been most encouraging, and can be credited to the efforts of Past Consul Healy and Clerk Gibbs. Neighbor Smith was reported as being able to be around again, and we expect to see him at camp next meeting. Trustee Palmer seems to be lost somewhere but we eX- pect this will bring the fact to his at tention, that officers are expected to be present. The Royal Neighbors have kindly consented to help us at our joint social evening Wednesday, the 26th, at s. D. m. and with their assistance the success of the party is an assured fact The drill team of the Royal Neighbors will give an exhibition drill and after the drill, there will be progressive whist for those who do not dance, the committee offering valuable prizes to the winners.
 There will be dancing for all those who care to participate, both old and young. The musicians have been in structed to play anything from quad
 rifles to the latest rag, so no one need be backward about calling for any dance they desire. During the evening, Neighbor Arnold of Tempe will give his lecture on Woodcraft, which is very interesting and in itself will be worth coming to hear. Invitations can be ob- tained from any of the members or | from Neighbor Thorpe, at the Eagle Drug Co.,, 21 South Center street. Ar invitation is extended to the camps al | Glendale, Chandler. Mesa and Tempe
 and we hope to see them all present
 so as to make the evening of January

After the installation several short talks were given by leading members of the order One of these talks dealt primarily with the loyalty of cur lodge workers and the compli mentary references therein were most encouraging to our real loyal mem Lers. The banquet and dance which followed were enjoyed by everyone.
 At last nights meeting several new members were added to our rap idly increasing numbers. Our special dispensation has proved its popular ity by adding from three to six new members every meeting night since it has been in force.
 The social dance which followed last nights short business session was hummer from start to finish. Special music had been prepared by the orchestra and the program met with the hearty approval of all. The inclemency of the weather prevented many from being present but the rol- licking jolly spirit that prevailed more than made up for the lack of mere numbers The affair can easily he stamped as one of the social suc- cesses of the season.

 title in which the name of one Marcos de Niza councils officers was coupled with some adjectives de-
 scriptive of the one-step. waltz or quadrille Refreshing punch, served between dances, added to the delight of the large number present. The committee in charge consisted of Lecturer P C. Gettins, Joseph Kehoe Wm. F. Harrington. T P. Lynch, R.
