RUSSIANS OFFERING
STIFFER RESISTANCE
The situation on the Russian front,
from Northern Galicia to tho Car
pathians, continues favorable to the
armies Of the central powers. The Rus
slams. although symptoms OF continu-
ing low morale are still noted, appear
on the whole to be offering a sitter
defense. particularly along the East
ern Gaiician border. AT one point an
energetic operation cleared the Aus
tro-German forces from n sector OF
the east bank OF the Zbrocz, the river
forming the boundary line. AT another
point on this line. near Skala. the Teu-
tonic troops were driven out of two
villages.
The Russians continue to yield
ground in Bukowina, and in the Car
| pathians. They are engaged IN a stifr
battle with the enemy northeast Of
Kimpolung, however. Below Kimpo-
! lung the Russian forces are falling
back on the Moldavia. and have yielded
the town Of Watra, on that river. to
the Austro-German advance.
Berlin sums up the campaign Of the
| last fourteen days in the east as hav-
ing cleared all Galicia Of the Russians,
with the exception OF small strip of
territory extending. southeast from

On the Austro-Italian front there is
somewhat moro activity. The Italian
airmen are notably busy. They rapidly

carrying out a second air attack, in
which great damage is reported to
have been dono to this Austrian naval

will be built to certain parts of the
building proper. but otherwise the
improvements will be confined to the
interior of the building. A large plat
form will be erected at the west side
of the large plant where the milk will
be received from the farmers. 1t will
then be shot down into the basement

be pumped to the top floor of the

to distribute the milk from the top

mean big saving TO the company.
THE various departments will be in
separate parts of the building and the
work will be in charge of large

manufacturers. The output of the
company will depend entirely on the
supply of milk which they receive.
The company is already making con-
tracts with many of the Stephenson
county farmers for the delivery of
their milk and it expects to use the
milk from between 1000 and 5000
cows per day. The building is being

completed it will be one of the best

Danvlle's first dry Saturday night
broke all previous records. Merchants
in all lines report the biggest Satur-
day nights business in the history OF
the city. Everybody seemed to have
plenty of money and spent it freely
Former saloon patrons went home
with loads of groceries, meat, new
shoes, wearing apparel and all kinds
of dry goods. Storekeepers and
clerks were kept very busy until clos
ing time, when examination of casll
registers made them quite happy.
1t has also developed that there is
already a great demand for vacant
stores. An effort made to rent q
former saloon building revealed the
fact that every one which was for
rent had already been taken. A few
of the old saloon stores are still un.
rented but they are not being of.

The Franz Brothers brewery plant
al Freeport is to be converted into a
condensed milk factory. By changing
a little machinery and making few
alterations, this plant will become a
great influence for good in the COM
munity instead of as formerly dis
tributor of harm.
As milk factory it will bring many
farmers TO town daily. Instead OF
taking away their money before they
get to the grocery, il will give them
cash to spend in the business places
of Freeport. Its products will pro-
vide nourishment instead of poison.
From the following article as print
ed in the Freeport Journal-Standard.
it will be seen just how much good
results when brewery is converted.
Truly they who make a food factory
grow where brewery grew before
are public benefactors:
Active work on the remodeling of
the Franz Brothers brewery plant
with the view of converting the plant
into a milk condensory for the use
of the Springbrook creameries, has
been started. and although it will re-
quire several weeks time 10 complete
the work, it will be rushed to rapid
completion and the company hopes
to move into its new home and start
the manufacture of butter, cheese and
condensed milk within the next few
months. A large force of men is at
work at the plant and the buildings
will be entirely remodeled for the use

Prayers Help Win
New York Victory
1t Was More Than Human Power

The drys of New York won great
victory when the State Legislature
granted to cities the right of self
government on the saloon question.
In telling how the victory was won,
giving credit to all who helped, Super
intendent Anderson of the New York
Anti-Saloon League wrote the follow
ing remarkable tribute to the power
of prayer 1t should be read by every
temperance worker in Illinois, and by
others, too:
THE Anti-Saloon League is not an
ecclesiastical organization, but it is
religious movement in large de-
gree, Notwithstanding the fact that it
has enlisted substantial support upon
purely social, economical and general
moral grounds.
No publication was made of the
fact that in the late days of the ses-
sion personal letter was sent to
5000 ministers, as spiritual lead
ers of the people, asking that they
personally pray for victory, and that
they enlist their people in special in
tercessory effort. From the replies
this communication seems to have
struck a responsive chord, and we
have direct and definite assurances
that large number complied and we
are certain that there was compliance
by a host who did not take the trou-
BILE to write.
"Only He whom we serve knows
the extent to which this effort to en-
list Divine aid through the fervent,
effcctual prayers of righteous men
contributed to the final victory in
such splendidly encouraging form.
Nobody is praying for the liquor
traffic. The very thought is an in
congruity. And most people are pray
ing for its destruction. Those who
cooperate in the Anti-Saloon League
movement may have the satisfaction
of knowing that it is being con-
Quoted by men who believe in prayer
and who know from personal expert
ence that the right kind of prayer
avails in situations that have gone be-
yond the reach of human help.
Therefore, to the Captain OF our
Salvation, for the ushering in of
whose kingdom we fight, we hunbly
and thankfully ascribe the fundamen-
tai, underlying and all-pervading
credit for the victory. And we pledge
those who have joined us in this fell
lowship to endeavor to carry out His
will, strong in the faith that He is
able to turn weakness into power and
overrule for good even the plumbers
of His human instruments.
1--WE believe it is in order to sug-
gest another season of prayer publicly
in the churches, in which thanksgiving
is mingled with solemn determination
to complete the task"

Defeat or Victory

The Chicago Tribune of May 20
published part of the story which
tells what drink has cost Great Brit
ain during the war. In giving the
source of its information, the Trib-
une says:
"The inside story of what the drink
evil has cost Great Britain during the
war has reached Chicago.
1T is contained in a pamphlet en-
titled Defeat or Victory?' which
when it was published by the
Strength of Britain Movement-set
forth facts and figures SO frankly and
conclusive1y in the tragedy of a ma
tons life that Lloyd George, the
British Premier, suppressed it.
1.-THE Anti-Saloon League of Amer
lea has succeeded in getting a few
copies to this country and is planning
to give it a nationwide dissemina-
ton in an American edition that the
United States may learn the danger
which confronted Great Britain at
the outbreak of the war and which is
still sapping its national strength in
men, money and food materials. One
copy, in Chicago, was procured yes

"Churns and machinery of all kinds

ment and the work of laying these

Springbrook Company will establish
milk routes throughout the country
and the company's men will travel
these routes each day to gather milk
from the various farmers. any of the
farmers who supply milk haul it to
town each morning, but there are
many who do not do this and for the
benefit of those persons milk routes
will be established. This, it is be-
lieved. will eventually lead to better
roads for Stephenson county as the
farmers will need good roads over
which to haul their milk supplies to
the city. A herd of high-grade mich
cows will also be maintained by the
company, as they will have Ia acres
of land with their plant on which to
pasture the cows.
Many of the Stephenson county
farmers have already signed contracts
to deliver their entire milk supply to
