eastern Galicia, after the capture K
Kolomea. has been so rapid that his
army not only menaces the important
city Of Stanislau, but Lemberg and the
whole of eastern Galicia. The wing OF
the Austro- German army is under
heavy pressure.
The Austrians are staggering back
along muddy valleys of the Pruth and
Dniester, abandoning great quantities OF
material. The roads in this region, al
ways bad, have been converted into
bogs by heavy rains. Pressing the dis
heartened Austrians are Russian sol

impending which will effect the struggle

was an interviewer in this suit. and
when asked about severing his con
nection with the company replied
that p. S. DUPONT sent for him and
asked him to sever his connection
with the company and explained his
reason for the request was that he

kaiser Directs ARMY
ON The SOMME front
BY ED l.. KEEN

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
LONDON, July 6.-The Kaiser Is
reported to have arrived on the Sem
me front, accompanied by members Of
his general staff. who will direct the
defense Of the German lines in the
great Allied offensive. An Amster-
dam dispatch today reported the
Kaisers arrival, and said he had es-
tablished headquarters near the front
and not farm from Cambria and op-
posite the British front
Great bodies of German troops are
being massed between the Ancre and
the Somme to stem the British ad-
vance. Allied flyers report the con
stant arrival Of troop trains. and Hol-
land dispatches today confirmed re-
ports of heavy concentrations behind
the British lines from Ypres to the
SOmme.
There is every indication that the
Germans will launch very heavy
counter attack against the British
lines within seventy-two hours The
object will not be only TO stifie the
British offensive. but to prevent a
further advance by the French. who
cannot continue to drive eastward If
the British lines on the left are bent
back. The German blow may fall
anywhere along the British front.
All dispatches today from Berlin
emphasized the Kaiser's determina-
ton to halt the Britishs early in the
attack at all costs The German news
papers. paying scant attention to the
! French successes, south of the SOM
me, express elation over the fact
that the momentum Of the British ad-
vance has been checked. The more
sober-minded German critics, how
ever, give warning that the battle is
only beginning and that regardless
Of any checks administered TO the
Allies, the attack will continue.

MARBLE WORKERS GET RAISE
And Others At Clarendon Given &
Nine-hOur Day.

Raises in wages for the employees of
the Vermont Marble company and a
nine-hour working day at the same
wages hitherto paid for 10 hours for
the employees of the Clarendon Mar
BILE company are the two latest devel-
opments in the Rutland county labor
situation, which has lately exhibited
vague signs of unrest.
The raises given by the Vermont
Marble company will result, it is said,
in the abandonment of the policy
hitherto pursued by the company Civ
ing quarry machine operators annual
bonuses. The increase was not a gen
eral one, but it is said that a majority
of the employees at the West Rutland
plant and number of those employed
in the company's Center Rutland plant
are affected. The advances range
from one cent to 20 cents per day. The
machine runners, who have been re-
ceiving $3.50, get a raise of Is cents
per day. This is practically the larg-
est advance given.
The action of the Clarendon Marble
company in adopting the nine-hour
schedule at the old 1O-hour day rate,
is in effect an increase of 10 per cent.
The Clarendon company pays it's ma
chine runners $3.50 a. day, and a COM
pany official states that the lowest
wage paid by the concern is about 81
day. The 125 men employed at the
Clarendon company's plant are work
ing in day and night shifts in an effort
to keep pace with orders. Orders
enough to keep the plant going at full
capacity for the next eight months
have already been received, according
to a statement made by the manager
recently. The company plans to en-
large its plant materially in the spring.
