and for the good of the police service.
Mr.. kugel was alone in supporting
Butler on that resolution.
In connection with his vote to re-

Commissioner Butler said: II think
the council has been very inconsistent

Superintendent Kugef announced he
would not make an appointment to

II is rumored that charges will be

On the northern front, neal Riga,
German reinforcements are rushing
up by sea transport. On the Lem
berg front the troops are being
shifted back and forth by means
of heavy automobiles in an attempt
to prevent further advances by Gen.
eral Korniloff,
On the southern front in the Car
pathian the Austrians are said to
be in full fight.
GAIN THIRTY MILES IN WEEK
tAssociated Press War Summary
Although the movement of the Rus
sian infantry engaged in General
Korniloff's big offensive in eastern
Galicia is being hampered by bad
weather, the Cossacks apparently
have been able to keep up their dash
ing tactics. This is indicated by a
report from Petrograd through Rome
today that the town of Dolina has
been occupied by Russian forces.
IF this announcement proves ac-
cnrate it means an advance OF more
than thirty miles for the Russians
since the opening of the drive south
OF the Dniester, a week ago. The Of
fetal reports have placed them nearly
two-t thirds of this distance from their
starting point, as Kalusz, taken by
Korniloff's troops last. week, is some
twenty miles from Stanislau, which
virtually was their place of de-
parture
AT Kalusz the Russians were estab
lished on the westerly bank OF the
l.omniea, whence the Austrians had
not been able to drive them, although
heavy attacks had been launched in
the attempt. The route thence to
Dolina lies along the Stanislau-Stry
railway line. An advance here means
considerable progress in the move
ment now under way, intended to
throw General Won Boehm-Ernolli's
army back against the Carpathians.
The Rome reports, indeed, declare
that this already has been accomp-
lished
Hard Fighting in France.
