A total eclipse Of the moon could
be seen in North Dakota Monday

ing as it only can shine in the clear
North Dakota winter atmosphere,
when suddenly darkness prevailed over
the land. The eclipse started shortly
after eleven o'clock and by three the
moon was again shining brightly.

GLORY OF ART STILL LIVES
Despite the War in All It's Bitterness
the More Pleasing impulses Con-

81 ! = l..
One great human interest which
feels the grip of the, war in all its bit
terness and no less in its inspiring
glories, still keeps its place above the
fierce shocks and bewildering changes
of the times. Art thrills to every i'm
pulse that stirs the heart and soul of
the world but it does not lose its hold
on beauty. 1t yearns with sympathy
and glows with fine consciousness of
the best and most that the nations bat
ting for justice and freedom can give,
but it does not cease TO make eternal
principles and purposes its guiding.
force, its compass and its chart.
Painters still seek and now and
again find the very soul Of natures
varying moods. Sculptors still carve
cold marble into the image of life and
make it eloquent in its appeal to
thought and feeling. Musicians still
voice the deepest longings of the spirit
and speak language International
and immortal. Art lives as nature
lives, beyond the power of the most
fearful commissions of the worlds fury
TO destroy or stun into temporary par
alysis.
1t is well that such refuge remains
open to humanity. 1t is monstrous
that any nation should wantonly strike
at so benefcent an element in human
life.-I1xchange.

RUSSIANS CAPTURE AUSTRIAN
 ARMY HEAOQUARTER
By Associated Press.

PETROGRAD, July 12,-The war office announces the capture by the Russian forces of the city of Kalusz, headquarters of the Austrian army in Galieia after a sanguinary battle in which the Russian troops took large number of prisoners.
 The capture of Kalusz indicates the rapid advance of the Russians since the fall of Hahcz as the former town is located nearly twenty miles to the west of the railroad center. The town is of no particular strategic inn portance.
 The war office statement says that the advance of the Russians in the section west of Halicz continue with out interruption although the enemy is fighting desperately over every foot of the line of his retreat. The Russian guns are irresistible however, and are sweeping aside all opposition.

sition. The advance outposts of the Russians occupy the left bank of the river. The left wing of the Russian army continues to make steady prog rcss southwest of Halcz and pressing forward toward the Bogorrichan- Solotvina front.
 The war office statement pays a glowing tribute to the military genius of General Korniloff hero of the Gal ician campaign and high commander of the Russian forces in Galcia.
 His marvellous conduct of the cam paign is the subject of an eloquent eulogy by the war office officials and he Is rapidly becoming a popular idol of the masses.
 This remarkable military genius was born in log cabin in western Siberia forty six years ago and rose to high command through sheer mili- tary talent. His father was poor cossack in the army of the late gov ernment.

PETROGRAD, July 11.-Halicz, the important railway center of central Galicia and the strategetic, key to Lemberg, capital of the province of the same name, is now in the hands of the republican forces, according to the official statement of the Petrograd war office today.
 The capture of the city was accom- plished in a terrific attack of the Rus sian forces who swept down on the city from three sides following a de- luge of artillery fire which all but obliterated the Austrian defenses.
 The official report announces the capture of thousansd of prisoners in the taking of the city together with thirty guns of large caliber and large stores of military supplies.

 The war office admits that the Ger mans have succeeded in breaking into the British positions. The official statement says that the Cermans have penetrated the defense lines to n depth of six hundred yards on ! frCat of fourteen hundred yards. In the first fury of the rush the Teutons suc- ceeded in forcing the British back from the right bank of the Yser at a point, close to the sea and have main tained their place in spite Of a!l ef- forts at dislodgement.
 The terrific bombardment inau- gurated by the Germans yesterday is reported to have levelled the sand dunes for several Wiles along the front close to the sea coast and ren- cred the British defenses almost use less. The sector near the Ssea coast is now isolated from the rest of the British line by the destruction of the bridges over the Yser by the German artillery.
