(By Associated Press)

The Russian armies are continuing
the vigorous offensive in Eastern Gal
icia and other groups Of the Empires
forces are apparently ready to spring
into activity along the eight hundred
mile front.
In the Verdun region the French
have won important successes recov-
ering all of the positions west Of Hill
3O4 which remained in the Germans
hands after the attack on June 29th.
In the Champagne the Germans failed
to retake lost observations positions
on Teton Heights.
Meanwhile Russian governmental
affairs are again ruffled by a cabinet
disagreement over the affairs Of Uk-
raine.
Notwithstanding the change in the
German chancellorship the Reichstae
revolt appears to be unchecked. A
majority is in favor Of declaration Of
peace terms it is declared and viii
present a resolution Thursday wher
the new chancellor is scheduled te
speak and demand that he accept the
declaration in principal before they
will agree to cooperate with him.

more men though they are not needed.
No special effort is being made now to

nected with the Battery he will be ac-
cepted but he will not be urged.

THREE DAYS AT SAME TIME
When 1t Is Saturday Night in Alaska

Three days can exist at the same

Hereward Darlington, but it is new
ertheless a fact that when it is very
late Sunday night at Attu island,
Alaska, it is Monday noon in Lon
don and Tuesday morning at Cape
Deshnef, Siberia! If one travels
westward one loses a. day in going
round the world if one travels east
ward one gains a day. Could one
travel at the rate of Is degrees a day
one would lose exactly one hour each
day. In "a days the circuit would
be complete. Inasmuch as sun and
earth are constantly revolving and
day merging into night, Sunday
passing into Monday, etc, it is OBJ
vious that at one point on the worlds
surface an arbitrary line must be
set, to the east of which is one day,
to the west of which is the next day.

WHEN PETER WENT TO EXILE
Roaring Mountain Torrent Was Grave.
yard of 300 Motor Cars As Serbians
Fled From Country.

No story in contemporary history
is more replete with dramatic Incl
dents than that Of the passage Of
King Peter and his countrymen into
exile, when Serbia's little army gave
way before the overwhelming on
slaughts of the Germanic hordcs.
One of the many spectacular episodes
that marked this tragic flight across
the mountains is narrated by CORE
spondent who reached the scene of
its enactment, in company with the
Bulgarian forces, fortnight later,
says Popular Mechanics. 1t is the
account of the last of the Serbian
war autos; a description of their
abandonment and destruction at the
end of road where many refugees
began their exhausting climb along
the hazardous trails leading into Al
bania.
Leaving the last city in the line of
retreat, touring cars, imousines,
trucks and ambulances were driven
along road that hugs the brink of
a precipice as it-follows the course of
a roaring torrent through the noun
tain recesses. The opposite side Of
this road is sealed by almost perpen-
dicular walls of rock. For several
miles it proceeds thus, a splendid
picturesque highway. Then abrupt
ly it stops at the foot of a narrow,
steep path that wends up the cliff.
When the motor cars reached the
end of this road they were no longer
of use to the Serbs. Obviously there
was but one thing to be done, and
that was to destroy the machines so
that they would not fall into the
hands of the enemy. So one by one,
their wheels spinning and their I'M
bridled engines roaring as they
leaped through the air, the cars were
shot over the edge of the rock bank
to dash themselves against the bowl
ders far below. In all some 800 We
hicles made this death plunge.
