STRONG GGERMAN ATTACK NEAR NEWPORT GAINS TEMPORARILY

PETROGRAD, July H.
Korniloff drove still further in
to the split in the Austro-Ger-
man lines the wedge of the in
vading Russian forces south of
Lemberg. Halicz is captured.
The German army of Won
Ecthmer is separated from the
Austrian forces under kilbach.
Both forces are in immediate
peril of a thanking movement
of great strength. The drive
against Lemberg is gaining
ground hourly. The sudden
ness of the Russian attack and
the vigor of the new Russian
armies have completely demor-
allied the enemy. Teutonic
defenses are so broken the
Russians use cavalry in the ad-
vance. Great numbers are
taken prisoner. The pursuit of
the enemy continues, the war
office statement said.
From the fact the Russian artillery
is roaring over parts of the Riga
front today it is believed the RUS
sian offensive movement will soon be
extended to this theater OF war. The
Riga Mitau line is admittedly one OF
the enemy's strongest fronts. Ger
many used its strength to back up
her threats against Petrograd. The
war department said Halicz was cap
turcd after bitter contest. The
Illusions prisonered many and cap
tured SO guns.

Sir: What the .Hyphenates" or the

same. The actual and the imaginary
are inseparable. No decision is final
until it has beer realized.
While there is immediate response

become absolutely effective until the
people have realized it.
There is no getting away from this
doctrine, and the unfortunate matter

5 HAWAII AND THE CARPET BAGGER,
From the MAUI NEWS.


Two more carpet baggers Well, we can at least
adopt Pollyanna's philosophy and be glad it isn't a
Dozen Perhaps it's too much to expect that such
rich patronage pie federal judgeshp and a Ho-
nolulu postmastershp should be neglected when SO
many deserving Democrats on the mainland are sui
fering Still it might have been expected that
Democratic administration, with memories still
green of the South's carpetbag experiences, would
be inclined to apply the golden rule towards Hawaii
at least to the extent of giving decent consideration
to local recommendations
{ OF course Hawaii has drawn few mighty fine
permanent citizens over the pie counter, but that
was more luck than anything else. Hawaii got a
grip ON them that the lure of the public feeding
trough couldn't break. Most generally We have been
blessed with professional job hunters of the JEFF Nc
earn type, who left an Old Rose behind when they
came They have either considered their jobs as
simply jobs, and have accomplished little for the
islands or else they have come crusaders with a
mission and left nothing behind when they left but
bad taste. II
1t isn't that Hawaii doesn't want to welcome new
comers but that she dslikes to share their affection
with COW left somewhere back in Tennessee or Mis-
souri,.
