England Puzzled Over Intention* of
Austro-Germans? Arras Storm
Center in Wett .Where -Losses
Are Piling High.
London, July 1.?The Austro-German
drive northward into Poland
from Galicia is gaining momentum
and England is puzzled as to whether
the German purpose is to make this
the main effort or to continue to concentrate
her offensive to force the
Russians from the southeast tip of
Galicia. Whatever the ultimate object
the fighting along the Gnila Lipa
river has not abated and Berlin not
only records progress here but; also
further north in arc, around Lernberg
and between the Vistula and Bug rivers.
The Teutonic forces on this
front are estimated at two millions,
and their progress has been rapid.'
They are not far from Seamoso fortress,
twenty-six miles north of tjie
Galician frontier. The great Russian
j base Litovsk, linked with Warsaw by
important railway lies only a hundred
miles to the north.
The development of the Galician
campaign has created a situation unexpected
by the allies. A few months
ago the Russians were at the Carpathians
and confident predictions
j. t? 1 1 j
were maue in ?ingianu jmu naute
that the Russians would soon overrun
Hungary. The British press
which fias been optimistic that the
Russians would turn for weeks, has
now frankly conceded that the invasion
of Russia is serious. The papers,
however, put faith in the Russian
campaign for the production of more
munitions.
The Arras section is still the storm
center in the west. The losses are
piling up but neither'side delivers a
decisive blow. An Athens dispatch
tonight says the allies have taken
Krithia on the Gallipoli Peninsula.
Bulgaria, which both sides are trying
to bring into the conflict has
notified reservists in England to be
ready to join the colors. Bulgarian
officials here say this is a perfunctionary
procedure however.
London, July 1.? A Reuter dispatch
from Petrograd says, Field
Marshal Von Mackensen's German
army, on its northern drive from Galicia
is flanked by the Austrians un
der Archduke Joseph Ferdinand and
General con Bohemer Moelli. Every
where in Galicia the German and
Austrian troops were sanawicnea together.
The first objective of the
Tuetons advances between the Vistula
and Bug rivers, is Ivangored.
General View.
London, July 1.?While the Austro-German
armies continue to push
the Russians back over the Galician
border into their own territory, rumors
are rife here of a contemplated
offensive by the entente allies. The
French are said to be planning a formidable
attack north of Arras,
rvAiipicjfonf KnTMUor^TYlor f V)OC
continued for a fortnight. The Anglo-French
forces on the Gallipoli
Peninsula are said to be ready to
make a supreme efiort to capture
the massive hills of Arcibals, which
dominates all the country south of
the Narrows of the Dardanelles.
On the eastern front every change
> leaves Warsaw, more open to the
drive the German-Austrians are
evidently making toward that city.
Along the northern line the Teu:
tons expect the greatest success, for
> the Russians seem to be making a
stubborn fight along the Gnila Lipa,
while retreating between the Vistula
> and Bug toward Loblin.
5 In the western front both sides
have atacked in the Argonne forest
and beyond the Meuse hills without
> decision. In Vosges the French
claim to have consolidated substantial
gains.
v From Vienna, the Italians are reported
to be showing renew?:d energj
_ along the Isonzo river but no decisiv*
i action is reported.
? A Petrograd official statement is
sued last night says a squadron oi
German ships consisting of fiv<
^ cruisers and many torpedo boat:
jj bombarded Windau, attempting i
c landing on the coast, but were re
pulsed. One hostile torpedo boal
was reported destroyed by a mine
and the German vessels were foru .
to retire. There has been a lull in
the Shavli region on the Niemen and
Narew fronts.
FRANCE USES NO
AMERICAN SHELLS.
Paris, July 5.?Replying to an interview
published in the United
States in which Prince Rupprecht of
Bavaria, was quoted as saying that
50 per cent of thij shells used by the
French were manufactured in the
United States, the ministry of war
today gave the Associated Press the
following official statement:
"Neither now nor at any time
since the beginning of the war has
the French artillery made use of any
shells whatsoever manufactured in
the United States."

Burr Clover Seed.
' Rev. H. B. Blakely, of the Lethe
School, was recently in the city. The
vacation season at Lethe has begun
j after a most successful year from every
standpoint. Mr. Blakely has
perhaps made a record on burr clover
this year. states that he will have
about $1,000 worth of the seed to
sell. ?Greenwoad Journal.
