junction, in Galicia. 5S miles north

ed the Austrian troops would retain at
all costs. has been captured by the
Cars forces, in a new and unexpect-

capture OF Lemberg. itself News Of
the fall Of Brody is coincident with
reports that the Somme battle is con

from Petrograd, also have broken

LOSS OF LIFE NOT LARGE
Fire on Barge Believed to Have lsnit-
ed Great Stores of War Supplies
For the Entante AIIies.-Shock Felt
in Five States.

New York.-Property losses esti-
mated at $25OOO,OOO were caused by
series of terrific explosions OF ammu-
milton awaiting shipment to the En-
tente Allies and stored on Black Tom
Island, small strip of land jutting
into New York Bay off Jersey City.
The loss of life still was problemati-
CAL 1t will not be determined def
nitely until there has been opportunity
to check up the workmen employed on
the island and on boats moored near
by.
The detonations, which were felt in
five States. began with a continuous
rapid-fire Of small shells, then the
blowing up of great quantities of dy-
Mantle, trinitoltunine and other high
explosives, followed by the bursting
of thousands of shrapnel shells which
literally showered the surrounding
country and waters for many miles
around.
Fire that started soon after the first
great crash which spread death and
desolation in its wake. destroyed thir-
teen of the huge warehouses of the
National Storage Company on Black
Tom Island, in which were stored
merchandise valued between $12,0O0,-
600 and SIS, 10000. The flames,
shooting into the clouds were reflect
ed against New York's "sky line" and
towering office buildings. which only
few moments before were shaken
to their foundations as by an earth
quake. Miles OF streets in Manhat-
tan were strewn with broken glass
and shattered signs.
Early reports OF heavy loss of life
were impossibitle OF verification, and
the authorities asserted the number
OF death probably would be small,
1t was said that owing to the ex-
tent of the wreckage. it might be
several days before the exact figures
could be obtained.
Three are known to be dead and at
least two more are missing. Scores
OF persons were injured, some Of
them probably mortally.

Washington.-Divis OF the coun-
try into II Federal land bank districts
and location of Federal land banks
in each OF them under the new rural
credits law, will be undertaken soon
by the Federal farm loan board. four
or whose members were nominated by
President Wilson. Secretary McAdoo.
who is an exofficio member, com.
pletes the board, said, however, that
he believed 1t would be impossible to
conclude organization OF the system
in less than six months. and that it
might not be in actual operation be
fore next spring.
The four men nominated as meri-
bers of the board are Charles f.
Lobdell of Kansas. George w. Norris
Of Pennsylvania, w. S. A. Smith of
Iowa and Herbert Quick OF West Vir-
sinia. The President is expected to
designate either Mr.. Morris or Mr..
Quick the Democratic members of the
board. to act as farm commissioner
and executive head of the farm loan
system.
Until the Senate acts on the nom
nations no date for a meeting can
be set, but 1t was believed probable
that the members would get together
within two weeks.
Hearings on the designations of
districts and the location OF banks
will probably begin some time in Sep
tember. The first of these Is expect
ed to be held here and most of the
state capitals probably will be visited
before they are concluded.
