Evacuated Capital of

Russian Offensive Is Continuous
Surprise by Its Apparently Ir.

grad Believes Austrians Are
Getting Little Help from the
Germans

Petrograd, (via London, June 12).-A
rumor is in circulation here that the
Russians have captured Czernowitz,
capital of the Austrian crown land of
Bukowina. The rumor lacks official
confirmation, but it has been given
color by the capture of Dobronovtze,
a commanding point 10 miles northeast
The Russian line here extends to Okna.
From both these points good roads
lead direct to Czernowitz and, accord
ing to military authorities, they are
the only points in this direction ca
pable of defense.
A telegram received from Bucharest,
Rumania, says the Austrian army has
evacuated Czernowitz and moved to
a line four miles to the west.
Advance Is Surprising
The continued successes of the Rus
slams recorded in today's official COM
munication are the more surprising as
the Austrians after the first shock Of
the Russian advance, appeared to have
rallied their forces and offered ex-
tremely stubborn resistance. This is
indicated by the fact that they were
able to mass sufficient forces in the
vicinity of Kokli, north Of Lutsk, and
cause the Russians to retire across the
Styr river.
Not only here, but at other points on
the Volhynian front furious counter
attacks chara cterized the last 40 hours
of fighting but without being able to
check except momentarily the force Of
the Russian advance.
1t is not believed here that the Ger
mans are sending many troops to aid
the Austrians. 1t is pointed out that
only in one misunderstanding Russia's
spectacular Carpathian campaign-did
Germany send any large number of
men to the relief Of the Austrians. In
stead, it has always been their prac-
tice to undertake an offensive on some
other line in an endeavor to draw off
the Russians Observers here think the
Germans are more likely to attempt
an offensive on the northern section
of the Russian front than to risk
weakening their lines by detaching any
lumber of men for the purpose Of stiff
fleming the Austrian defense.

Fart OF the increasing dppI
here is due to the renewed raids in the
Laredo region. Several reports dealing
with the situation there have been re-
ceived Officials declined to reveal de-
tails, but they gave the impression or
having reason to believe serious pur-
pose was behind the bandit raid on the
Coleman ranch Three raiders were
killed and three captured, one report
said, adding that they attempted to burn
a railroad bridge near Laredo, but
failed.
ArtIIerymen withdrawn
The new force sent to join Gen. Fun
stons border patrol, Secretary aker said,
was to fill in gaps in the guard such as
that near Laredo. 1t will be composed
of ten companies of coast artillery and
a battalion of engineers. The artillery
men will be withdrawn from fortihca-
tions between Portland, Me, and Sandy
Hook, and the engineers go from bar
racks in this city. The secretary said
there was no present intention Of call
ing out additional national guard regt-
ments for border duty.

Unrest at Vera Cruz
A message from Capt. Burrage,

said. 1t added that the Carranza gov
eminent had been sending troops and
ammunition inland. Captain Burrage
did not know the object Of these troop
movements.
De Facto Government Notified
The state department, through Spe-
cial Agent Rogers at Mexico City. has
called the attention of the de facto
government to the antiAmerican out
breaks, which for nearly two weeks
have been spreading steadily.
Many towns have held mass meet

Hold All Attacks

On all sectors OF the northern line
the Russians have successfully with
stood the German onslaughts and
driven the attacking forces back. They
have even gained ground against
them north of Tirul marsh, southwest
of Riga, says Petrograd.
Progress in Southwest
In southwest Russia in the region
of Lutsk, fresh advances against the
Austro- HungarianS are reported by
the Russian war office, as likewise is
the case across the border through
East Galicia. In the southern part of
this region, the Russians are nearing
Czernowitz, the capital Of the Austrian
crown land of Bukowina.
Although the Austrians at numerous
points are vigorously counter-attack
ing, the only place where the Russians
have been forced to give ground be-
fore them was near Bobulintze, north
of Buczacz in Galicia, where the Aus
trians were reinforced by German
troops. The Russians captured here by
the Teutonic allies exceeded 1900. The
total of men made prisoner by the
Russians since their offensive began
has grown to more than 114O00.
Northwest of Verdun the Germans
with heavy electives have thrown
successive attacks against the French
positions north of Thiaumont, but all
the assaults were repulsed with serious
losses.
The heavy bombardment by the
Germans in this region extended from
Thaiumont eastward to the west and
south Of Fort Vau'l and to the French
second line positions of Fort Souville
and Fort Tavannes about three miles
northeast of Verdun.
On the remainder Of the front in
France and Belgium there have been
only artillery duels and sapping OPP
erations, except in Champagne. where
Berlin reports the penetration Of
French positions and the capture Of
more than 100 men and four machine
guns.
On Italian Front
South and southeast of Trent, the
Italians are continuing to drive back
the Austrians according to Rome.
Gains have been made by the Italians
in the Arsa valley end in the Pasubio
sector, along the Posina -Astico line
and southwest of Asiago.
Farther north in the Sugana Valley,
fresh progress toward the Mazo tor
rent is recorded for King Victor En-
manuels men. who repealed two coun-
ter attacks near Sourelle. In the La
garna valley, the Austrians are heav-
lily bombarding the Italians on Conf
guyana.
A Russian cavalry force of 1000
men operating between the Caucasus
and Mesopotamia fronts has been an
initiated by the Turks, who also cap
tured q large amount of war material,
according to Constantinople.
On the remainder of the front in Ash
attic Turkey there is no change in the
situation.
The making of important Bulgarian
troop movements is believed to be con-
nected with the closing of the Bulgar-
Rumania frontier to passenger and mer-
chandise traffic. according to an Official
dispatch from Bucarest

Of NATIONAL BANKS
New Forms Made Out in
Wilmington First Time
Today
MUST REVEAL
ALL WAR LOANS

A new form for the report OF the
conditions of national banks Of the
country is being employed in Will
mington for the first time by the va
ious national banks in response to a
call from the Comptroller of the Cur
rency. Several schedules not hereto
fore included are contained in the
forms.
In their answers to this call, ma
tfonal banks are required to inform
the comptroller OF their investments
in foreign securities, particularly in
nations engaged in war. The result
is expected to show for the first time
just how much of the $500 100000
loan to the entente allies came di-
rectly or indirectly from national
banks. as well as how much Ger
many or Austria may have secured
through the same sources.
The banks must also inform the
comptroller how many of their en-
ployes have taken no vacation for
five years past. how much money
has been loaned to persons not de-
positors in the bank; and how much
loaned to other national and State
banks and trust companies.
In a statement referring to the
changes. which are apt to cause the
banks additional inconvenience, the
Comptroller of the Currency has is
sued the following statement:
"The new forms for reports OF con-
dition which have been sent to ma
tional banks to be used in the call con-
tain several schedules not heretofore
included.
"Thcse embrace as to the number
OF employees who have taken no vaca-
tion for five years past. Because most
men are physically and mentally in
shape to perform their duties most ef-
fciently when they have the benefit
of a yearly vacation and because of
other obvious advantages including
the better opportunity afforded OF hav-
ing an impartial check made of books
and accounts OF all employees while on
vacations, besides the training given
understudies and assistants the comp
troller commends the granting Of a
vacation period to all bank employees
each year.
Another schedule which was not
in the last statement of condition re-
quires banks to show the amount oi
money loaned to outsiders or those
who are not depositors in the bank
"The report also requires banks tC
show the amount of money loaned tC
them to other national banks and t
state banks and trust companies sep
larately."

The Delaware State probation law
provides that only those who are first
offenders are entitled to probation.
"NNe have a most excellent nOn-sup-
port law, with the agent of the S. p. c.

of this particular branch of the work.
He has man assistant, and the law
is so carried out that it makes it very
difficult for a man not TO support his
wife and children in this State. A good
feature of this law is that it provides
requisition for the husband who runs
away from Delaware in order to avoid
supporting his family. / believe the
adult probation work has stronger
foothold in Delaware than it had a year
ago.
