Opening of Present Week Finds
Prospects Better Than at
Any Time Since Beginning
of Great Struggle,
GERMAN GENERAL STAFF
FACES GRAVE PROBLEM

10, sornao JOURNAL s,sc,.L lsASIo w,ru

London, July 80 tlO;3O y. m.)-lhc
opening of the present week finds the
prospects Of the entente allies perhaps
brighter than in any previous period
Of the war according to the views
held here. General Brusslloffs S strk-
ing Victories present the German gem
cral staff with the imperative prob
lem of how to reinforce the eastern
front since General Won Linsingen,
who was sent by the Germans to aid
the shattered Austrans now has
been completely thrust back from the
Lutsk salient
But the same problem is present on
the western front, where, says an un-
official correspondent, the ccaseless
offensive seems steadily to gain in
intensity Doubtless the constant ar
rival of fresh German troops and
guns" be adds has everything to do
with the result. The enemy shows
an increasing tendency to eounter-at-
tack"
These countcr-attacks have failed to
stem the steady entente allied ad-
vance and although at the present
moment the fighting on the Somme
Is mainly devoted to securing mastcrF
Of small strategic positions, which VIII
he the keys to further progress, there
is yet no sign of the Germans making
any effective counter offensive.
Won Bothmcr OutflankCd.
The Russians remarkable victories
reveal a most interesting situation.
The army of the German general,
Count Won Rothmer holding the Stipa
near the Lemberg TarnOpol railroad
was few woeks ago beipr outtlanked
ON the south by General Letchitzky 8
successful advance when the Dneister
floods prevented Letchitzky's further
progress This enabled Won Bothmer
to hold onto the threatened positions.
General Sakharoff then devoted HIM
self to enveloping von Bothmer
force on the north, with what success
is seen in his double victory west OF
Lutsk and BrOdy
Thus Outflanked north and south, II
is considered impossible that Count
Won Bothmer can longer delay eNtrl-
eating himself from his precarious
position, even if he now can do so
without serious losses. The Russians
at Brody are at present nearer Lem
berg than Won Buthmer's forces, which
are entrusted with Lemberg's defense,
and although the country between
Brody and Lemberg is very difficult
it becomes a question whether the
evacuation of both Kovcl and Lem
berg will not soon become necessary.

bdIsDEEps THE CAUSE OF (
HIS OWN UNDoING

John III. Worst has been caugh
in the meshes of his own deceit.
He built a straw man for the.
purpose of argument. Shaking
the "Big Business" 'bugaboo be-
fore the voters, he had the stud
ents entrencaed with a good sup
ply of verbal gas bombs. The
board of regents, he informed
us, were little less than the paid
hirelings Of the interests who de-
sired to slay him, even if the
slaughter toppled the Agrir
cultural college from it's founda'
t;0n.
Now that the smoke of battle
has lifted from the A. c. campus,
the only casualty seems to be
Mr.. Worst. The students, after
issuing sophomore ultimatum
to the board Of regents demand
ing q voice in faculty changes,
have returned to their classrooms
In q week or two the bruises
will have healed and the college
will direct it's energies to the
purposes fer which it was estab-
ished:
But has big business triumph
ed in the reinforcement of Mr..
