RUSSIANS DRIVE IN
GALICIA CONTINUES
Though Its Progress is Much
Less Rapid There is No
Slackening of Power.

The drive OF the Russian offensive
In Volhynia, GallcIR and BukowIna
shows little slackening in power, al
though the forward progress of Gem
era! Brusiloff's armies apparently IL
much less rapid than In the early
stages OF the campaign.
From the VOlhynia triangle fort
reSs. the Russians have thrust sharp.
ly TO tho west and southwest. In the
former direction they arc batterinE
on the Austrian defensive line along
the Styr and the stokhod, not more
than thirty miles from KOvel, the
important railway junction essential
TO close connection between the
southern Teutonic armies and those
to the north.
In the latter direction they have
scored new progress and now are
close to TO the Galcinn border, push
Ing down the railway from Dubno.
The current Russian official state
mont reports the occupation Of Rad
EiiowO, less than ten miles from
Brody, across tho frontier line. and
approximately sixty miles northeast
Of Lemberg. the Galician capital,
the Russian objective in the drive.
Berlin records the participation OF
German troops In the fighting against
the Russian. reporting General Won
Linsingen's forces engaged in the
Stokhod-Styr sector and others un-
der General Count Won Bothmer
taking part in the battles north OF
Przewolka.
On the western front the lighting
at Verdun has again been left to the
artillery for the most part. The Ger
mans are violently shelling French
positions in the Dead Man hill Sec
tiOn. and Incidentally have made
hand grenade attacks in this vicin-
ity, which Paris declares were futile.
Rome announces an important
success northeast Of Asiaga. in the
TrentinO, where several positions at
the head Of the Frenzela valley were
captured.
Vienna reports the failure OF Ital-
ian attacks in the Doloinites and like
wise Of assault upon the Austrian
lines on the Doberdo plateau.

AUSTRIAN ARMIES
ARE ALL DIVIDED
And Their Continued Retreat is
0ccasioned More from STRAIT
egy Than by Pressure.


PETRoGRAD, June 17.-via Lon
don.-The breaches made in the
southwestern front. spreading in
shape from thirty to forty niles in
the rear of the Austrian liEa. now
have effectively separated the three
main Austrian army groups operat-
ing between the Pripa and Bukowina.
The continued retreat OF the more ad-
Vanced portions OF the Austrian fore
es Is occasioned, therefore, more from
strategic reasons than because Of act
ual pressure applied by the Russians.
The primary object OF General
BrusltOtf's campaign is not the re-
taking Of lost territory, and although
1t is quite conceivable that Lemberg
may be caught in the encircling move
ment developing from the ahnk at
tack on Lutsk and CZernowitz, the
chief aim Of the Russian advance Is
obviously to destroy. or at least Grip
pie the Austrian army.
The tremendous number of prison
ers taken by the Russians up to the
present roughly estimated $4,000
with additional losses in killed or
wounded OF 10000 attests to the
success OF the Russians in accom-
plishing this aim.
Military commentators contrast the
effect Of the present Russian advance
with that Of the German advance last
summer which yielded much larger
gains in territory. without, however
in any sense. destroying the integrity
Of the Russian armies The last days
news records the continued success of
the Russians in the districts OF Lutsk.
the lower Stripa and Czernowitz. On
the middle Stripa, north Of Tarnopol,
the Austrians are holding their own.
Near Ltsk the gap in the Austrian
lines has been further widened by the
northward progress OF the Russians
TO Sokul and the forest of Rostok
which fell after a hard struggle.
The Russian penetration northwest
of Buczacz also is important in open
ing up the way to Lemberg the ap-
proaches which has been defended
with the utmost Stubbornness.

CHARLESTON. June l7-In event
the Mexican situation becomes Of
such proportions that the national

two months ago had things in readl-
ness II the West Virginia troops

battle, but these cases are not to be

After the verdict had been read,
District Attorney Jackson made the
following statement:
The verdict proves beyond a doubt
that the people Of this county will
not tolerate the interference and agi-
tatlon on toe part OF persons who are
not vitality Interested in the question
OF laboring conditions. The convic-
ton Of Merrick. Bloom and Miss
Gold dberg. is one that will find the
support OF every person interested In
the rights OF the working people OF
this community In SO far that all
labor trouble can be amicHbly settled
II left to the persons involved. Out
side Interference has been the cause
NJ this great trouble and hope that
this community will learn a lessen
that will do away forever with the
meddling OF professional agItators
who would have the laboTIng class
believe that they are doing them a
favor by assisting them in their
strikes"
