order growing out of the milk situa-
ton took place here today when it
was necessary to call police reserves
to disperse more than 500 women,
mostly foreigners, many with babies
in arms, who stormed the two health
department milk stations in Harlem.
The women had previously canvas
sed stores in the neighborhood in
search of milk for their children and
finding none for sale they gathered at
the city stations. A few were ad-
mitted. Those on the outside fearing
that the supply would be exhausted
before they could be served rushed

sist by threats to attack him if he
persisted

Pinch Greater Than Ever.
While distributors had new sources
of supply, city officials estimated that
the pinch was greater than at any
time since dairymen upstate refused
to sell to the Big Three at existing
rates.
| One hope of a break in the dead
lock was the fact that there were
signs of weakening upon the part of
the Borden company, distributors of
one-fifth of the city supply. They
have already offered a 35-cent per
hundred pounds increase for October,
while others in the Big Three have
trailed at 81 cents. The farmers are
standing out for a 45-cent raise and a

General Statement Is lS- sued by the War De- partment Today in
 Petrograd.
ACTIVITY IS RESUMED
Russian General Has Com pIeted Plans of New Offensive on the
 Fronts.

PETRoGRAO, Oct. 3.-The war office today issued general state ment regarding the apparent inac- tivity of General Brusiloh on the Galician front The statement con cludes with the assertion that the General has nov completed plans and greater activity will mark The work of the Russian forces.
 Statement issued today says that the entry of Rumania into the war introduced a new note into those chords which Gen. Srusiloft has been so shllmlly playing and has ex- tended the range and variety of the calculations both on our side and on the enemy's The striking feature of Bruisloffs attacks has been their precisely determined or der and the systematic way in which each of the four armies took up the advance when the army pre- viously attacking had achieved it's immediate object and compelled fresh enemy concentration. Gen. Kaledin took over the burden from Gen. Letchitsky. or vice versa, and at the right moments Gems. sakhar- of and Tscherbatchefr took their turn.
 Rumania's entry into the war not only imposed further heavy tax on German resources. but broadened the scope of Brusilof's calculations and introduced a new factor into the ordering of al lattacks. The move ments of Tcherbatcheff and Let chitsky in Galicia and Rukowina are affected by what happens on the new left flank in Pennsylvania and in Dobrudja. The Danube passes on the word to Dniester, opportuni- ties have grown bigger and at the same time more complex, and the fact that days pass without news of smashing victories is only sign of the increased sweep of the oper- ations which demand still more fine- ly calculated coordination.
