RUSS CHIEF SUPPLANTED
BY YOUTHFUL SOLDIER

LONDON. July 1.-THE Russians
have occupied the important city of
Minsk. on the northern end of the
Russo-Polish battle front, according
to Soviet communique wirelessed
from Moscow. Minsk is about 2S5
miles northeast of Warsaw 1t lies
at the junction of two strategic rail-
way lines, one of which runs from
Moscow to Warsaw.
The Russian communicate claimed
also the capture of the two strategic
cities of Molodetchno and Sventsiany,
both OF which were the scene OF vio-
lent battles between the Austro-Ger-
mans and the Russians in the world
war.
1t was reported that the Poles had
lost the fortress OF Brest-Litovsk.
where the Russian Bolsheviki and the
Germans signed their peace treaty,
but this was denied at the Polish le-
cation. Brest-Litvosk Is only ninety
miles from Warsaw, the Polish capt.
tai.
The advance OF the Russians south
of Dvinsk probably will compel the
immediate evacuation OF that fortress
city by the Poles.
Latest advices from the eastern war
theater put the Polish line through
Sventsiany, Vileika, Minsk. west OF
Bobruisk (where the Russians forced
their latest crossing of the Bosnia
river, through Ovrutsh, west of Sar-
ny, through the fortress of Rovno,
through Ostrog and Proskirov, thence
to the Roumanian frontier.
1t Is now reported that General Bru-
siloff is not commanding the Russian
Red armies, but that a new military
genius has arisen in the ranks of the
Bolsheviki The new commander is
described MS "COmradc Tougacbewski,
aged twenty-seycn, who led the First
army which defeated the forces of
General Deniken and Admiral Kol-

SHIPS UNWASHED CREW
COSTS $4,000 ADAY

BOSTON, July 1.-THE White Star
liner Cretic has been held at quar-
antine since Friday because the crew
refuse to be washed.
The detention involves 1543 steer
age passengers, and is costing the
company about $4,000 a day. First
class passengers were allowed to land
without bathing.
The trouble grew out of the fact
that port authorities at Naples re-
Gently have refused to allow Amer
lean health officials to examine emf
grams. AS a result no clean bill of
health could be given the Cretic here,
and 1t was ordered that the crew and
steerage passengers be washed for
disinfection. The passengers sub
mitted, but the crew refused, and
health officials insist the ship shall
not bulge until all those aboard have
been washed.

statement made by John r. Greer,

discussing the merits of the medicine,
few days ago.
Mr.. Greer, who contemplates casting
his lot with the people of Tampa, was
formerly, and for many years, engaged

came near costing me my life, but 1t
has put me in shape to where have
gained twenty five pounds in weight.
besides, and I want to go on record
as saying I believe it the finest medi-
cine in the world. The people up my
way were buying it right and left and
twere all telling about the good it had
done them.

with the flu for three weeks and there
seemed to be little hope of me getting
well. When I did finally get up | was
just a complete nervous and physical
Ewreck-so weak I was almost helpless.
i was left without any appetite and
my stomach so upset that even the
sight of food was repulsive to me.
Nothing seemed to help me or give
me any strength and l began to feel
that 1 was not much longer for this
world.
II finally resorted to Tanlac, how
ever, and both to my surprise and de-
light, I began to improve at once. My
appetite picked right up, my nerves
got stronger, and I soon felt myself
regaining my lost weight and strength.
AS became stronger my old-time
energy returned and my friends were
soon talking about my rapid improve
ment. I am still a we'll man and at
tribute my good health to nothing but
Tanlac. I am glad to give the public
the benefit of my experience with Tan
lac because I believe it is just the
medicine thousands are needing to
build them up and make life worth
