lowing the discovery of bomb on the
White Star liner Celtic when her cargo
was discharged at Liverpool on her last

it off. On the voyage TO Liverpool

Fall Back to StOChOd
River.
COSSACkS SABRE
MANY FUGITIVES
Eight Villages Taken
Kaiser's Entire Front in
Poland Endangered.


London, July 8.-The fury and the
rapidity of the Russian advance in
Volhynia has forced the Austro-Ger-
man armies to abandon their entire
line along the Styr. They have
fallen back to the Stochod River.
Pressing forward with overpower'
ing forces from the fighting zones
near Lutsk and Kolki, the troops Of
General Brussiloff and General
Kaledines are now threatening hovel
from three directions. The whole
Teuton front in Poland is menaced
by the continued success Of the Cars
offensive in this sector.
Admission of the withdrawal OF
the Austro-German lines along the
Stvr River is made in the official
statement issued in Vienna to-day.
The Austrian forces were ordered to
retreat. according to this statement,
because their advanced lines were
exposed to a double fanking move
ment from hostile forces which have
increased from threefold to fvefold
superiority
Eight Villages Taken.
No less than eight important vii
lagos along both sides of the railway
from Sarny to Kovel were captured
to-day by the swiftly moving Russian
armies. and more than 1000 prisoners
were bagged.
The fall of strategic positions north
and south of the railway paved the
way for a cavalry rush in the centre
which swept everything before 1t and
made the Russians masters of the
whole triangle comprising Kolki, Ra-
falowka and Maneyitchie.
The capture of Letchnievka and
Gruziatyn. around which violent fight
ing has been n progress for several
davs. has enabled the Russians to push
their lines forward along the whole
thirty-mile front extending between
those two points. Thirty-fve miles, on
the average. now separates the Russian
front from their immediate objective
-Kovel
That the Teutonic resistance in this
sector has weakened considerably dur
ing the stress of the latest Russian at
tacks is indicated by the increasing
number of disoYderly retreats reported
in the official communications. Scores
Of Austrians have been sabred in the
fierce pursuits by the Cossacks, and a
vast amount of booty has fallen into
the hands OF the Russians.

THE CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO

In the early part of the year it was
evident that Francisco Villa had tho
ambition to become the political War
wick Of the republic of Mexico. On
January he deposed the provisional
governor, Gutierrez, and installed Gen
eral Cara in his place. He was still
master of the situation at the City of
Mexico, and Carranza still maintained
his stand at Vera Cruz. Meantime, the
fighting went on uninterruptedly, with
varying results, but none decisive.
In June the situation on the border
and elsewhere became SO irritating
that the United States government
felt compelled to give official warning
to the factional leaders that failure on
their part to come to some agreement
would necessitate Intervention. De-
spite this intimation, the forces of
Villa and Carranza continued to keep
revolution afame, and by midsummer
the Mexican situation seemed to be
more inexplicable than ever. Villas
star waned perceptibly. A new mill
tary influence, General Obregon, took
the center Of the stage. He assumed
the leadership of the Carranza faction.
and his military successes were con-
siderable. In July General Gonzales,
another Carranza supporter, fought his
way into Mexico City, displacing Cen
eral Zapata, who held the place in the
Villa interest. Later. Gonzales was
driven out and the situation was so
threatening to life and property in the
capital that, in August, American bat
tleships were ordered to Vera Cruz,
but were not put into action. In this
month, also, an appeal signed by Sec
retary OF State Lansing and the repre-
sentatives OF South and Central Amer
ican governments asking all warning
elements in Mexico to get together in
an attempt at pacification was sent to
the various leaders. During Septem-
ber the fighting on the Mexican border
grew more desperate. There were
many fatalities before United States
troops gained control of the situation.
On October 10, nine of the principal
governments of the American hemi-
sphere, headed by the United States,
recognized the de facto government OF
Mexico of which Carranza is the chief.

wage increase was obtained and the
strikers resumed work. July 20,
strike for higher wages and shorter
hours at the Remington Arms works,
Bridgeport, Conn, resulted in a vic
tory for the employees. August 4, a
threatened strike involving 10000
workers ON woman's garments, in
New York city, was prevented by an
increase in wages.
In September, the long and not in
frequently violent dispute over indus
trial conditions at the mines of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company was
brought to an end. John ID. Rookie
feller, Jr., made an extended visit of
investigation to the property and as
an outcome suggested a plan for ad-
justing differences which was accept
ed by the miners in a formal refer
endum vote. An agreement was
signed to maintain the present wage
scale and the eight-hour day until
January /, 1918. The demand for
union recognition made by the miners
was not granted, but many conces-
sions were made by the company in
favor of the employees.
In July miners strike practically
put stop to the great Welsh coal in
dustry. After several conferences
between Mr.. Lloyd George, the Brit
ish minister Of munitions, the colliery
owners and representatives of the
miners, the trouble was settled July
90, and the men went back to work.
Further strikes and lockouts were
prohibited by law.
