brush his clothes and help him TO &C
uuire working knowledge of the

unpublished, unedited, and for the
most part even unindeXed original doc
Hments, reports, letters, ETC.. which

ENTIRE LINE; $4,000 MEN
SEIZED BY THE SLAvS.
FURIOUS FIGHT IN PROGRESS
Troops Are Moved From italian ana
French Fronts to Counter korni-
Ioff-Austrians Flee Toward
Carpathan Mountains.

! Petrograd, July 17.-The Russians
captured 10 officers and 900 Austro-
Germans in the battle in eastern Cali
cia, says the official statement issued
by the Russian war department. The
Russians also took a number OF ma
chine guns.
From July / to July 10, the state
ment says, S34 officers and $4,000 men
were captured by the Russians. Gen
eral Brussiloffs forces also captured
90 heavy and light guns, 70 trench
mortars, 403 machine guns, 43 mine
throwers, 45 bomb mortars, three IRE
throwers, two airplanes and much
equipment.
The Russians drove the Austrians
out of the village of Lodziany, IN the
Lomnica river region, and retained
possession of the eastern end OF the
town. Northeast of Kalusz the Ger
mans began an attack. The Russians
threw them back.
Battle on Whole Front.
Washington, July 1.-THE whole
Russian front from the Gulf of Riga
to Roumania is reported in official dis
patches from Petrograd to the Rus
sian embassy here to be alive with
battle. The Germans are said TO be
rushing up troops from the Italian ana
French fronts and to be entirely rear
ranging their positions.
On the northern front near Riga,
German re-enforcements are rushing
up by sea transport. On the Lemberg
front the troops are being shifted
back and forth by means of heavy au-
tomobiles in an attempt to prevem
further advances by General Korniloff.
On the southern front in the Carpath1-
ans, the Austrians are said to be in
full flight.
The German reinforcement of the
Riga front by transport is understood
here to be for a German cOunter-of-
fensive as a diversion to the severe
Russian attacks farther south. This
has been long threatened, and it is
thought now that General Won Moedre,
in command there, has been given or
ders to go ahead.
On the Lemberg front the left flank
of the Austro-German army defending
that city, is stated to be seriously
threatened, with the result that the
enemy is rushing men back and forth
in heavy automobiles in order to sup
port the weakened wing. General
Kcrniloff, in taking the town of Kalusz.
made a very serious strategical threat
against the whole opposing German
forces, and the question remains as to
whether he may not complete it with
serious results to the Germans.
Austrians Flee in Panic.
On the Carpathian front the Austri-
ans are said to be Fleeing in panic"
stopping only where occasional steep
hills give them rest. General Tros-
dansky, in command of the Russians
there, is said to be pressing vigorously
forward on the heels of the retreating
foe and to be overcoming the rear
guards left among TIE natural barriers.
Other dispatches tell of new rules of
army discipline about to be issued by
Minister Kerensky. They will be very
brief and will lay stress on the equal
responsibility of officers and men.

CHINESE BECOME MOVIE FANS
Dressed in Her Best Silks and Most
Dazzling Jewels, Oriental Woman
Watches Films All Day.

China has capitulated to the picture
show. So much so, in fact, that Chi
nese women now make attendance a
social event, to be observed with a dis
play of their choicest and most beauti-
full silks and most dazzling jewels.
Instead of social functions at home,
with tea and music and that sort of
thing. Chinese women who would be in
fashion eat a large breakfast, adorn
themselves like a New York society
woman bound for the opera and sally
forth for a day Of watching the films
flicker.
''The motion picture craze in China"
said Ernest Young, who has been sew
eral years in the Orient, according to
the Seattle Times, "nOw has reached
point where the natives are demanding
an all-day show. The way the women
doll up at these exhibitions would
send their fairer sisters of other coun-
tries into Mysteries"
Mr.. Young said the Chinese motion
picture fans are strong for action in
heir film entertainment, and gladly sit
IN a theater all day, providing there
are enough thrills to go around. The
more shooting the merrier the show.
The OrientaIs, according to Mr.. Young,
also are keen for comedy.
"Chinese audiences" Mr.. Young said,
"are very demonstrative and, when the
hero saves the heroine from an awful
death at the hands of some Desperate
Desmond they give vent to their APP
prevail in rousing cheers and wild APP

CROWN PRINCE IS
THROWN BACK ON
THE VERDUN FRONT
Violent and Costly Attempts to
ReCapture Ground Fail.
IERMANS ARE MOWN DOWN
Wave After Wave of Choicest Fight
ing Men Are Thrown Against
French Machine Guns and Shell
Fire-British Make Gains.

London, July 19.-After violent and
costly attempts to recapture the
ground in the Verdun sector won by
the French, the German crown princes
army relapsed into the lines it Occu-
pied more than a year ago, when the
much-yaunted assault on Verdun was
first launched.
Along the whole of the threemile
front penetrated by General Petain's
troops the Germans directed blasting
artillery fire. 1t was followed by
wave after wave of the crown princes
choicest fighting men, Realistically
nerved to recover the lost ground or
die in the attempt.
Ranks Are Shattered.
One such counter-attack was speed
fly followed by another, all the way
from Avocourt wood to the western
slope of Hill 304. But they all with
cred and broke before the superb de-
fensive front of Petain's infantry and
artillery. With their ranks shattered
and the ground Uttered with theit
dead, the invaders were driven back to
their burrows in the rear, with, not a
rod of ground to show for all the Ger
man blood that had been poured out
to crafty the crown princes ambition
to take the French fortress.
A number of German prisoners were
captured by the French while repuls-
Ing a surprise attack In the ArgOnne
region. The TeutOns essayed to cap
ture small post north of Vienne lie
Chateau, but were driven back with
slaughter. They also tried an unex-
pected assault west of the Cerny sugar
factory The alert defenders met them
squarely with a fire which swept them
back with great gaps in their shaken
ranks.
British Gain Ground.
The British took German prisoners
at three points on their line. One of
them was MOnchy-le-Preux, where they
also gained some ground in the course
of local attack. The others were near
BOesinghe and northeast of Oestra-
verne, where the British raiding par
ties inflicted heavy casualties on the
enemy.
A correspondent at Canadian army
headquarters in France reported a sud
den increase in the volume of German
artillery fire all around the Lens sail
ent At Vimy, three miles from the
nearest German battery, 900 high ex-
plosives shells fell during "A hours
within one small area.
The fire was directed by an enlarged
aerial force, including a large number
of airplanes and several biplanes. Such
was the violence that it seemed a pre-
cursor to an infantry attack. Later
observation tended to show the Ger
mans feared an attack and were en-
deavoring to Illustrate it. The Canadian
artillery replied with vigOr to the OPP
posing batteries and also kept at its
work of blowing up the enemy's line.
