AUTO AIDS GUNNERS.
Makes Adirondacks Accessible For
Week End Trips.

Week End Trips.
Utica, N. Yin most sections of the
Adirondacks game is plentiful. More
and more each year the automobile is
being used by gunners, particularly
those who live in the cities and towns
near the forests.
Thousands of hunters are going into
the woods for week end trips, and ma
chimes are also used for the purpose of
taking the hunters from one good
ground to another. This of course re-
lates to small game, and it is surpris.
ing how many good places can be COW
cred by this method of cunning.
The new law prohibits any cunning
from an automobile, but the machine
makes the innermost recesses of the
forests accessible to. the gunner who
has a car.

9ermany's Blacklist Moment.

There have been many fluctuations in
German views. A year ago, before the
Rumanian campaign, German prospects
were plainly black; there was a grow
Ing realization that victory was unlike
ly, and that a drawn battle was the
best that could be expected. But the
Rumanian campaign and the collapse
of Russia changed all this. and the
early success of the submarine war
was a further cause of new. German
optimism. But the corner stone of this
cdifice of hope was a separate peace
with Russia, and this corner stone Is
shaken, If not shattered, by the pres
ent Russian attack.
The entrance of the United States
into the war was not Of great i'm

By the submarine the war might be
won before We could intervene effective

war and Russia returning to the at
tack, the situation changes abruptly
and completely. Germany has not es-
capped an immediate danger at the time
when she has incurred eventual peril;
she has acquired a new foe at the mo-
ment when an old enemy has renewed
his assault.
1t is entirely conceivable that the
Russian attack will come to an abrupt

Finally, there is the HalicZ-Lemberg

Russian armies in Galicia and Eolhynia
struck a series Of blows against the
Austrian armies which brought the
latter near to complete destruction.
With the first attack eastward Of the
fortresses Of Lutsk and Dubno the
Austrian line was pierced in several
places. In the early days many thou
sands of prisoners were taken, and the
ultimate consequence OF the first sue
cess was 4 retreat from Dubno and
Lutsk to the line Of the Stokhod river.
retreat OF more than forty 'miles in
places and over very wide front.
Last Years Offensive.
A renewal of the offensive southwark
in August led to new successes and to
the occupation Of the Bukovina and
portion Of Galicia south of the Dniester
including the cities of Czernowitz and
of Stanislau. In the first ten days of
August the Russians on either side of
the Dniester took nearly $1,000 prison
ers and u vast store of material and
munitions Finally. between June and
September the Russians captured near
ly 100000 prisoners, together with
enormous numbers of guns and a great
wealth Of war material.
All this great success was due to the
completeness of the initial victory.
a1ter the first days in June the ques-
ton became plain: 1T was a question
Of where and when the Germans would
be. able to stop the Russian food which
had broken through the Austro-German
dixie and was swiyling forward toward
the vital railroad point of kovel. When
they succeeded in checking it before
Eove1 and at the Stokhod it broke out
to the southwark and, piercing other
lines. rushed on through Brody toward
Lemberg. Checked at last less than
forty miles from Lemberg. it broke
through again to the south of the
Dniester and engulfed new regions.
NOW, we can say at the very outset
that the new Russian offensive in it's
hrst days accomplished nothing re-
| motely suggesting the clear and def
mite results of the, June attack of
BrusiloT eastward Of Lutsk and Dubno
1t gained ground just as all offensfves
Of either side In the west have gained
ground. 1t gained less ground, and far
| less important ground than the British
about Arras, than the French between
SCISSORS and Auberive. 1t resulted in
the capture Of some 10000 prisoners
and few guns, but this was below the
British or French bag in April.
Conceivably this original attack will
be followed by others which will make
great and perhaps decisive breaches in
the Austro-German lines, but such re-
curing attacks as have come up to
July do not suggest this; rather, they
point to successful counter prepa-
ration of the Austro-German forces
such as has become familiar to all who
have followed western operations since
trench war began. In June, 1916, the
