HEIGHTS WEST OF
CAPITAL
BATTLE LINE OF
EIGHTEEN MILES
Petrograd Think* Position? Strong
Enough to Instare Success
of Defense.
London, Jane 19.-The Osllclan
campaign has reached a crisis. The
Russians forces, driven from one posi
tion after, another, by Austro-Oerman
advance across the province, have"
mado stands On the heights west of
Lemberg, along an eighteen mlle line
should Lemberg be retaken, Austria
would have reclaimed virtually entire
province of Galicia, almost all which
was in Russian hands during the ear
lier stages of the war.
Petrograd expresses the opinion
that the Russian positions west ot
Lemberg, which are of great strength
on account of the character of the
country, can be defended successfully
against a frontal attack, and contends
that subsequently the efforts of the
Austrians and Germans will be con
centrated, on:,^k?ajtoagfg further
north from rh* Baa, whteh -ls thirty
five miles northeast of Lemberg.
According to the German war office,
the French and British attacks >n tho
western front resulted disastrously.
The attempted advances In the Arras
region have been repulsed by the Ger
mans.
The Italian ministry of marine an
nounced that Austrian warships at
?-..k ed the northern Italian coast near
Austria's border Friday and Satur
day but were driven back by Italian
warships.
Londbn, June 19.-Russian forces
are at bay along the Grodek line in
Galicia, where with their flank well
protected by marshes and the Dniester
river and will defend Lemberg, the
capital of Galicia.
Neither side reports much pro
gress during the last twenty-four
hours, notwithstanding the claim or
Pctrograd'a assertion that the Aus
tro-Germane hare been.hurled back on
Austrian territory between the
Dniester and Prnth rivers.
The French, according to latest
news, hold tho Germans north of Ar
ras 0:1 the western front in continen
tal war. They now occupy positions
on three sides of Souches. British ob
servers believe they soon may make.
German positions on that front unten
able.
Italian invasion of Austria ls said by
Fome newspapers to have resulted
thus fer in the occupation more than
twice as much territory SB offered by
Austria as the price of Italy's neu
trality.
Along the I sonso frjnt a battle on
which hln&es the fa's of the Aus
trian city of Triest ls assuming great
proportions. Austria has sent rein
forcements of her finest troops. Raid
by Italian ty planes and dirigibles in
flicted consjd,?rable damage on Aus
tria fortifications, according to Rome
reports today.
Rumors eaw.ating from tbe Bal
kans say that the allies have offered
Bulgaria generous territorial terms,
whic hspeclAi dispatches from Bona
declare to be absolutely satisfactory.
Nevertheless, lt is evident that BO
actual a'liance has been signed to
insure Bulgaria's participation in
war on the sids of the triple entente.
Also it ls plain that none will be
signed until Bulgaria's neighbors
make th? concessions she bas been
consistently deTaaoding. .....

New York, Jane 19.-The new bat
tleship . Arizona was successfully
launched at the New York navy yard
today. The Arizona shares with her
sister ship the Pennsylvania, recently i
launched at Newport News, the honor
of toeing .the world's largest battleship.
The Arizona Blipped into the water at
1:1*-o'clock.
New York, June 19.-Gay with flags
and bunting the huge hull of the BUP
dreadnaught ? Arizona, sister ship ot
tue Pennsylvania and one of the two,
largest vesopls in . the United States'
navy, lay a the ways ia New York
navy yard today awaiting the signal
for her launching at high tide thia
afternoon.
The state whose name the gigantic
fighter will receive was represent
ed by a- distinguished delgation bead
ed by Governor Hunt and Miss Esther
Ross the sponsor, they'brought a car
boy of water from the first that
slipped over thc Roosevelt dam to be
used in an unusual double christen

This was said to be the first vessel
in the United States navy to be named
with both wine and water. Tho direc
tion to use champagne and water waa
made by Gov. Hunt in the* face of pro
tests from the Women's Christian
Temperance Uftion leaders. Secretary
D.rniels was here for the launching os
well as Admiral Fletcher the com
mander of the Atlantic fleet with
Major General ? Wood and many other
army and navy officials and members
of congress.

- Washington, June .19.-Another fif
teen million dollar battleship was
launched for the American navy today
when the superdreadnaught Arizona
.slid into the water at the New York
navy yard. She is a sister ?hip to
the Pennsylvania, recently launched
at Newport News and ht site and arm
ament one of the largest and most
powerful craft ever built for any navy.
Ships of the line, like tile Arizona,
are built to give and receive punish
ment in sea battles. Their mission
has little in common with that ot the
battle cruisers which have been the
largest ships to engage each other
during the European war. Speed is
sacrificed in the construction of the
battleships to weight of armor and
against such a ship as the Arizona
with her broadside first from twelve
14-inch guns and protection of more
than a foot of the toughest steel that
can be made around the vessel-vital
parts like a walt a battle cruiser
would be helpless and must depend
on her speed and seek safety in flight
