 After many weeks of inactivity on the Russian front there are signs of a return of active operations. The Ger man war office announces that fnA Russians. apparently in1uneced by pressure exerted by their allies, are maintaining a strong fire over a front of 40 miles in eastern Galicia aud that a Russian attack evidently is imminent. The Russian official statement merely speaks of increased artillery fighting in some sectors.

New York, June 3O.-From cables received the Associated Press makes the following summary of the news from the battle front in Europe:
 The scene of heaviest fighting on the western front now is the verdun sec tor. Over the same ground on which they met with such serious check by the French last year the Germans are making serious assaults with picked forces For the most part their efforts have been nullihed but they succeeded in retaining some conquered ground on the west slope of Dead Mans Hill.
 On the Afsne front also the Ger mans are on the offensive. They at tackled last night near Cerny and Cor beny, meeting with a devastating French fire which all but annihilated their storming detachments. Northeast of Cerney they succeeded in gaining a saliant which had been levelled by ar tillery fire.
 Whether these operations mark the resumption of sustained offensive by the Germans is not yet clear. The of- fcial German statement throws no light

LAUGH AT THREATS an
Worry falls off youth, Margie,"

night he said to me, You little devil,

held to my resolution of not speak
ing to him except when it was abso-
lutely necessary.
He was determined however, to
eXasperate me into some admission,
and almost nightly he made some re-
mark to me during the big scene
when for a moment he stood with his
face partly turned from the audience.
One night he came on livid with an
ger and almost walked through his
part. When he got a chance he said:
SO Seeth was going to throw me
down and make a start with yOu?'
Il did not answer.
I suppose you think you are very
magnanimous in letting me continue
to play, giving me back to my wife
and child, as it we're, and all that
guff?'
Still I ignored him, keeping on
with my part.
You will probably make me
strike you,' he whispered, before you
get away. You are the most infuTi-
ating little devil I ever encountered.
