Retreat of Russian
Armies Now a Rout;
Kaiser on Way East

London, July 20. - The Russian
defeat in Eastern Galicia is growing
hourly. The entire front north OF
the Dniester river is reported by
Berlin and Vienna to be crumpling.
Petrograd admits a retreat beyond
the Sereth. The Russian Seventh
Army, south of the Zlochon, affected
by the pressure on its flank, is now
on the retreat The important town
of Tarnopol, east OF Lemberg, is re-
ported in flames. and the victorious
Germans have entered one of its
suburbs.
Premier Kerensky has hastened to
the front to exert his magnetic infiu-
ence to rally his soldiers and turn
the tide OF defeat, while the Kaiser is
also reported 10 be hurrying to the
front TO spur on his advancing ar
mics, according to dispatches from
Berlin.
The provisional government has
issued a proclamation to the nation
setting forth the seriousness of the
situation, declaring that its first duty
is TO apply its whole strength against
the foreign foe and in defense of the
administration against anarchial and
counter-revolution attempts, and
outlining important reforms through
out the country. The proclamation
reads:
Citizens. The fateful hour has
struck. The German emperor's ar
mics have broken the front of the
national revolutionary army. This
terrible operation has been facili-
tated by the criminal levity and blind
fanaticlSm of some and the treachery
of others. AT this fateful moment,
when, taking advantage of the gem
eral confusion, the hidden forces of
counter-revoluticn can raise their
heads, the remodeled provisional
government clearly realized its heavy
responsi bilitieS. 1t possesses, how
ever, full and firm confidence in the
strength of the great Russian people
and in tn erapid recuperation of the
life polite, now that the contagion,
which has shaken the national or
ganizatism, has manifested itself and
burned itself out in an acute crisis.
The government firmly believes
that the crisis will lead to recovery,
not death. Strong in that belief, the
government is ready to act with the
energy and resolution the exceptional
circumstances demand. The govern
ment regards as its first and capital
task the application of its whole
strength to the struggle against the
foreign foe and to the defense of the
new government regime against every
anarchial and counter-revolutiona
attempt. without hesitating to take
the most rigorous measures in it's
power. At the same time, the gov
ernment reiterateS that not drop of
blood of a Russian soldier shall be
shed for any foreign end. as already
proclaimed to the whole world"

National Forests Make
Ideal Touring Resorts

California and West Coast peo-
pie have always taken full advan-
tage of Uncle Sans invitation TO
spend their vacations in the National
Forests" says L. ]. Ollier, vice-pr
ident and director of sales of the
Studebaker corporation, but l have
noticed that during the last year or
two people from all parts of the
United States are beginning to rea-
lie what wonderful vacation lands
are offered to the motorist by the
United States National Forests, and
these forests are not all segregated
in the western part of our country.
We find them in New England, in
the South and Central Atlantic
States, in Oklahoma and Arkansas,
in Michigan, Wisconsin and in Min
nesota. They occupy principally the
more rugged and heavily timbered
regions of the White Mountains, the
Appalachians, the Ozark of the East,
and, of course, the Rocky Mountains,
Sierra Nevada, and Coast Ranges of
the West.
There are one hundred and fifty
two national forests in the United
States, and they offer not only splen-
did opportunities for the camper and
fisher, but they also delight the eye
with some of the most superb and
majestic scenery in the world. The
seeker after health, rest and recrea-
ton can do we'll to turn his at
tention to the national forests in our
country as a summer vacation land
unsurpassed.
The forests of course, are free
to all. Visitors are not only well
come to camp and motor where they
will but Uncle Sam issues in official
form, under date of April, 1917, Il
most cordial invitation to the 3,000,-
900 motorcar users of the United
States to visit him in his wonderful
forests.
Firearms are permitted, and
there are no restrictions on fishing
and hunting excepting those imposed
by state game laws.
The splendid development and
improvement of the auto highways
and national highways has made
the national forests readily accessi-
BILE. Even the most remote and out
of-the-way parts of the mountains
are now easily reached over good
roads, and where the road ends IN
Gle Sam has built and maintained
safe and passable trails.
with our organization of 5000
dealers, the Studebaker motorist IS
invited to journey eastward and
westward 10 accept OnCle odLll III
vitation, and Studebaker joins in a
hearty invitation to stop anywhere at
the sign of Studebaker, and you
will find it in every city and town
in the country, even up to the very
portals of the most remote of Uncle
Sans domains. There you can OBJ
tain advice, information and at all
times a cordial welcome.
"Modesty forbids me speaking of
the adaptability of the wonderful
power and comfort of the. Stude-
baker Six as being the ideal car for
such a trip. But this interview is in
the interest of the motorist who
loves the great outdoors, and If you
want to hear from Uncle Sam direct,
write to the District Foresters at the
nearest headquarters, which are

THIS BARBER IS WORTH $500, ,Ooc

The American Magazine has an ar
ticle about a barber who does not
need your tip. The writer says:
"A few months ago a white-haired
gentleman. eighty-three years old.
stood in the doorway of a barber
shop. His eyes were dimmed with
tears as he gazed upon this superbly
fitted room. He saw courteous. rapid
workers attending to the wants of
the many customers who came and
went; he watched the use of every in
strument to insure the comfort of the
patrons; he heard the click of the
cash register as it quickly received
the coins; and yet he was sad. For
he, Jacob Hysler, had sold his barber
shop in the Hotel Manhattan. New
York, where he had been for twenty
years. and although eighty-thre
years old. he felt lonesome and use
less. He retired with three hundred
thousand dollars. town house. a
country place and two automobiles.
He has shaved five presidents OF the
United States and other celebrities,
and yet he is sad For Jacob HysIer
wants to keep on working"
