RUSSIANS KEEP HAMMERNG
AT TEUTONS' VOLHYNIA LINES;
CAPTURE 45I4 MORE PRISONERS

PETROGRAD. Sept 6.-Any supposition
that General Brusslloh's campaign has been
stopped by the gathering forces of Austro-
Germans on the roads TO Kovel and Lem
berg is apparently disproved by the recent
Austro-German losses reported.
The magnitude of the Russian offensive.
which continues with scarcely any lessening
from the Pripet marshes to the borders OF
Hungary, is indicated by the nearly 10000
prisoners taken during the comparative
quiet OF the last three weeks The increas-
ing proportion OF German prisoners has
caused great satisfaction here, where 1t is
taken as evidence of decreasing resistance
of the German army.
General Brussilof continues TO perform
successfully his tactics OF sharp, unexpected
thrusts along the whole front. changing the
point of attack with the greatest rapidity
The result is that the Austro-Germans, ac-
cording TO military observers, are in con-
tinuous suspense and dare not withdraw
troops from one sector to another where
they are urgently needed,
The most important Of General Brussi-
loh's recent actions Is an advance toward
Brzezany, along the hitherto uninterrupted
road midway between Brody and Halicz
and having for its ultimate object the oc-
eupation OF Lemberg.
Despite the sharp hghting in the region
of Vladimlr-VOlynsld, where the Germans
are bringing up all possible reserves 10
check the Russian advance on that town,
the principal attention remains focused Tor
the present on the operation in the Lembsrg
region, since there now appears to be
greater chance Of taking the capital OF
Galicia than the German center at Kovel.
This possibility according to the military
experts, has been magnihed by Rumania's
entry into the war and her engagement OF
a considerable portion Of the Austrian
forces, since Fransyivania and Galicia now
constitute the left and right wing OF the
same front, and an advance into Transyl-
qania will compel the withdrawal Of the
Austrian left wing in Galieia-

Venizelos hdicts King

ATHENS. Sept. 6

ATHENS, Sept. o.
THE following striking points
i were made by the former Greek
Premier, Venizelos, leader of the
Liberal Party, in a proclamation
written by him and approved re-
Gently at a great public demon
stration:
King Constantine is the victim of
a military clique, reactionary poll
ticians, Teuton intrigue and pro-
Germanism based upon false hope of
German victory.
Constantine hopes, with the aid of
a victorious Germany, to seize the
powers of government after the war
and hold absolute sway.
The work Of the revolution and
the fruits of two wars destroyed
by the Kings failure to act in ac-
cordance with the true interests of
Greece.
Possibility of Greek expansion in
Asia Minor, Thrace and Cyprus de-
stroyed and country invaded by Bull
garian troops as the result of Kings
policy. Army demoralized and
nation divided
Immediate change in policy neces-
sary. All factions must unite under
the leadership of the present
premier, Zaimis. The army must
be reorganized. A benevolent neu-
trality toward the Entente Allies
must be adopted with view of en-
tering the war against the Central
Empires in the immediate future.
The fate and glory of Greece is
contingent upon the triumph of the
great nations of the West, France
and England, the liberators and pro-
tectors of Greece, and not upon the
victory of Germany and Austria.

Berlin Reported Drafting
ULtimatum to Greece

n ERMANY is preparing to take
VI action against Greece as a re-
suit of that eountry's submission to
the demands of the Entente, accord
ing to dispatches from London.
The fact that Greece has allowed
armed forces from allied battleships
TO hunt down German and Austrian
subjects in the streets of Athens is
considered an utter violation of neu-
trality, and it is reported from Am
sterdam that an ultimatum is in
preparation at Berlin.
Greece is making quiet prepara-
tions for war at an early date, ac-
cording to Athens dispatches. Five
classes Of reseryists have been re-
mobilized, it is stated. Five hun
drsd Greeks from the United States
were prevented from embarking for
New YORK. Sailings from the
Piraeus for the United States have
been postponed.

GERMANS HURL REPEATED
C0UNTER-ATTACKS TO REGAIN
POSTS LOST ON SOMME LINE
PARIS. Sept. 6


German counter-attaclss were made south
of the Somme River last night in an effort
to check the advance of the French in that
region, but all were repulsed the War Office
announced today.
North of the Somme there was violent
artillery combat.
South of the line OF Deinecourt and
Berny-en-Santerre the Germans launched
several powerful assaults, following a bonn
bardment of the positions captured by the
French yesterday. but they failed to re-
capture any of their lost terrain.
On the Verdun front the Germans made
artillery preparation for an attack at
Fleury. but it was stopped by the French
machine-gun fire.
(Deniecourt is nearly two miles east of
Estrees, Berny-en-Santerre is n mile east
of Denecourt)
The lack Of spirit displayed by the Ger
mans in counter attacks of the last two days
offers evidence, according to French mill
tary men, Of the severe shock to the Ger
man morale of the Anglo-French victories
in this weeks fighting on the Somme.
The second anniversary of the beginning
of the battle of tho Marne, which turned
the German tide fl ON the gates OF Paris,
was celebrated here today while Paris took
stock of the new successes on the Somme.
The principal celebrations, however, will be
held next Sunday.
In their advances since Sunday both
north and south of the Somme. the French
have scored some Of the most important
gains of the whole Somme offensive. They
have increased the pressure on Peronne and
south of the river have drawn so close TO
the Chaulnes-Peronne Railway that that
line of communication is now under hot
fire and useless to the Germans.
In Lorraine a surprise attack by the Ger
mans was stopped.
LONDON Sept. 6--British troops cap.
tured the whole of Leuze wood, few miles
northeast of Combles, in heavy fighting last
night, General Haig reported this afternoon.
Desperate fighting is going on between
Combles and Ginchy.

Music for Cows.

According to w. w. Wilcox, a
Colorado farmer, music has I'M
expected charms to soothe the
bovine beast. 1t is a valuable
adjunc: to a dairy farm. He has
installed a photograph in his
barn, and makes practice of
playing tunes while the cows are
being MIXED.
"The music charms and sooth.
es the cows as nothing else does, u
testifes their owner. Under
its soothing influence they yield
a greatly increased quantity of
milk. 1t is a fact not generally
known that cows have esthetic,
musical temperaments +"
Even the hired men, it seems
have "esthetic, musical instru.
ments," for Mr.. Wilcox says
that during the concerts they
stop talking and fooling around,
and attend to their work. But
the boss is not particularly con.
cerned about them. What he is
interested in is the esthetic ele.
walton of cows.
