Berlin, June 2S.-(Via London.)-
The great battle in Volhynia, where
the reinforced German army has Sue
ceeded in checking the Russian ad-
vance, has resulted in further reverses
for the Russians. Announcement was
made by the war office today that the
Germans have captured the village of
Winiewka, west of Sokul, and Russian
positions south of that point.
Eastern front: The village of VIM
niewka, west Of Sokul, and Russian
positions to the south of there were
taken by storm. Otherwise nothing
of importance occurred on the eastern
front.
"On the Balkan front there were
no developments apart from artillery
duels between the Vardar and Lake
Doiran.
western front: From La Bassee
canal to the region south of the
Somme, the enemy made reconnoiter-
ing attacks, in conjunction with in
tense artillery fire and mine explo-
sions and under the protection OF
smoke and gas clouds. The attacks
were repulsed easily.
in the Champagne, attacks by
weak. detachments of the enemy
north of Luneyille failed.
"On the left bank of the Meuse,
nocturnal attacks by hand grenade
detachments of the enemy were re-
pulsed. On the right bank, the
French, after about twelve hours of
preparation, with the most intense ar
tillery fire throughout the whole OF
yesterday attacked with strong forces,
consisting in part of fresh troops, the
positions captured by us on June %
on the high ridge of Froi de Terre and
also the village of Fleury and the ad-
joining lines to the east. The at
tacks broke down without exception,
the enemy suffering extraordinary
losses. ...
"On June rs, Lieutenant Hoehn-
dorf put out of action his eleventh
enemy aeroplane, a French biplane,
near Raucourt. An enemy air man
was shot down near beaumont.
1T is ascertained, on further in
quiry, that the report of June %,
stating that some British prisoners
were taken among the attackers on
Karlsruhe is incorrect. All the pris-
oners are French"

; much to do with the attendance of a
good sized final-day crowd. OF course

success.
The annual fair ball of the young
men of Rockville and vicinity was held
in Seco Hall last evening and was at

ST. LOUIS. August 25-The Mer-

sent telegram to President Wilson
urging arbitration in the controversy
between the railroads and the four
brotherhoods. The telegram says, in
part:
The principle of arbitration is vital
to the Industrial life of this country
To yield it at this time would mean far
more than any property damage that
might come from a temporary cessa-
ton of traffic.
Failure to secure arbitration will
mean a spread Of disorder innumer-
able future controversies in ali
branches of industry, and will be notice
to the world that the United States no
longer settles its industrial disputes on
an equitable basis, but allows them to
be decided through fear of possible tenn
porary discomfort"

TREATY TO BUY ISLANDS
IS NOT YET ACTED UPON
Foreign Relations Committee Con-
siders Matter-No Delay Expected
by Mr.. Stone.

The Danish treaty providing for the
purchase by the United States of the
Danish West Indies for s25, 100000 was
considered today by the Senate foreign
relations committee, but no action was
taken. Members of the committee said
that a mass of information submitted
by Secretary Lansing relating to the
foreign concession provisions of the
treaty would demand careful examina-
ton and that the committee would not
act hurriedly. Whether the treaty
could be ratified at this session of Con-
gress, Chairman Stone said, could not
be predicted at this time.
'1 think those who oppose the
treaty" he said, will oppose it on
the ground that the price to be paid
is excessive. and they probably will
urge also that nothing should be done
with the treaty until Denmark has
finally passed upon it,
Senator Stone said that the action
of the Danish landsthing in rejecting
the proposal to sell the islands would
make no difference in the attitude of
the United States nor cause any delay
in the effort to have the treaty ratified
here as soon as possible.
Some senators thought that the posi-
tion taken by the Danish landsthing
would serve to hasten action on the
treaty in this country, but many of
them doubt that it can be ratified at
this session
