Austrians Retreat
ON a 25-n1ile Front
in Russian Assault
Heavy Casualties for Emperor Joseph's Troops
and 221 Officers and 1925 Men
Captured

The Germans again have made an ef-
fort to win French positions west Of Hill
304 northwest of Verdun, after a bonn
bardment extending from the hill to the
Avocourt woods. The curtain of fire of
the French and the fire of their infantry
put down the attack, however. Intense
bombardments continue northeast Of Yer
dun, around Fleury and the Vaux, Chapi-
tire and Chenois woods.
The British along their part of the front
in France and Belgium are keeping up
their heavy bombardments of German
trenches and sending out raidng parties
who reported as doing effective work, in
ficting more or less serious casualties on
the Germans and bringing back prisoners.
The guns of the British have done much
damage to German trenches at many
points, according to London.
In the Austro-Italian theatre the ltal-
ians in the Trentno region are still driv-
ing back the Austrians and recapturng
important positions taken from them in
the recent Austrian offensive. The Ital-
ians also have prepared great offensive
against the Austrians on the eastern
front. Here, however, according to VI
emma, the Italians are being partly re-
pulsed by Austrian counter attacks
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-06-30

In an attack over a 'front.' OF 25 miles,
extending eastward from kolomea, in
Galicia. the Austrians have been COM
PEELED to retire on a part of the front
in the region of kolomea and south
ward. The Austrians valiantly tried to
hold back the coming Russians but
according to Vienna, Emperor Francis
Joseph's warriors finally were COMPEL
ed TO give way before superior forces.
In this fighting and also in battles
near Kuty, in Bokowina, the Austrians
suffered heavy casualties. In addition
221 officers and 1925 men were made
prisoners and heavy guns, machine
guns and stores were lost. The Rus
slams successes IN this region seemingly
gives them almost free access to Car
patian passes and to the railway line
running northwest from Kolomea to
Lemberg, the capital of Galicia.
On the central part of the Russian
front in Volhynia the violent battles
around Linewka and in the region of
Sokul continue undated. Farther
north the Germans have followed
heavy commandments of various posi-
lions with infantry attacks. which Pc
uograd says were all repulsed.

Wounded Killed

Three of the Negro troopers declared
they were certain that several of the
American wounded left on the field of
battle at Carrizal subsequently we're
killed by the Mexicans. The men maxi
ing these statements were Archie
Jones. William E. Gibson and Luther
Alexander They said they had been
robbed Of money and valuables.
The Transfer
The actual transfer was at 16 when
Gen. Bells receipt passed into Mexi-
can hands.
The prisoners were dressed In monde
script garb. While most OF them had
restored to them the larger part Of
their uniforms, some were without
coats, one had encircled his waist with
a towel. and practically all wore tow
els and bandanas on their heads in
stead Of hats.
All the troopers were worn and
We're serious save one, who wore 4
broad smile. This one Negro made
himself the impromptu spokesman for
his fellows.
We sure are glad to get back" he
said.
SpilIsbury's Story
Spillsbury said after he had been told
that it was his duty to obey he advised
Boyd that he at least should wait until
the Mexcans fired on him
After the battle Spillsbury said, he and
the other prisoners were taken to Villa
Ahumada, where their hands were tied
and they were placed aboard a train
They we're stoned, he said, while this
was being done.
On their arrival at Chihuahua City,
where they arrived minus the greater
part of their wearing apparel which had
been stripped from them, they were as
saulted and stoned again. He denied
however, that the prisoners were put to
work cleaning the streets.
One terrifying moment came to him,
he said. in Chihuahua penitentiary when
he was threatened with being hanged He
had been mistaken for Texas Mexican
and had been called a traitor. he explain
ed. AS soon as it was learned he was a
white man and attached to Gen. Perish
ine's command he was informed that he
was in no danger.

Troopers Released

AAOVPCA . xSClCdSCu
Release today by Gen Carranza's
order Of the American prisoners taken
at Carrizal has averted the probability
of immediate retaliatory steps. 1t may
also have helped to pave the way to-
ward an attempt at peaceful settlement
Of the whole border situation. High Of
flcials made it very clear, however
that the vital point at issue-the fu-
ture attitude Of Mexican forces toward
American troops in northern Mexico,
engaged in guarding the border and
pursuing bandits who raided Amer-
can territory, remains to be settled.
The state department had no advices
today as to when a diplomatic reply
to it's demands might be expected. The
Carranza government has adopted the
unusual course of complying in fact
with an urgent demand with foreign
government before even acknowledge
ment Of receipt of the note or make any
statment Of what it proposed to do.
Troops Going Forward
Pending a satisfactory answer to it's
second and more far-reaching require
ment, the United States continues to
hurry troops to the border, and to take
every step necessary in preparation for
force of arms.
Carranza Backing Trevino
limitations have come that Carran-
"a intends to back up the order issued
to Gen. Trevino directing that Amer
lean troops be attacked if they moved
in any direction in Mexico except to-
ward the border. Officials are fully
prepared for a reply of that character.
despite the fact that the prisoners
taken at Carrizal have been surrender
ed on demand They expect, howevr,
that tn re-afirmation of position will
be made in a note from from hostile
language and continuing the discussion
of the advisability of the withdrawal
of American troops from Mexico.
Apparently Secretary Lansing is deter
mined to get a clear statement of inten-
tons on which action by the United
States can be founded. Carranza officials
profess an earnest desire to avoid a clash.
however, and further struggle to fix dip
responsibility for hostilities
that may come is foreshadowed.
