Amsterdam, July 25.?For more
than 150 miles from east of Zlochov
to the wooded crests of the Carpathians,
Hindenburg continues to
strike. Three great Russian bases
have been seized, according to reports
reaching here from Berlin. The Wolff
bureau, semi-official German news
? agency, declares Tarnopol, Stanislau
an i Nadworna have been taken.
The Russians are now at the point
of their greatest reaction, other dispe'
hes assert. Hope is held out from
Petrograd that the Germans will, be
stopped; that the new Russia \Vill
withstand the newest and greatest
sh >jk; that democracy will triumph
over the old order. Kerensky, man
of iron, is at the front, desperately
exhorting the disorganized forces of
th; republic to be men and strike
ba :k.
Russia's womanhood has set the exar.ple
for the men. A battalion of
women?"the command of death" has
held its line and rallied the forces
around it when, trained soldiers were
quitting their trenches and straggling
to the rear, crying that the war was
not theirs, and that they would fight
no longer.
The big question tonight is: What
will happen in Petrograd when the
latest bad news from the front reaches i
the public there? Will the present
government sustain the shock or will
anarchy come into its "own and the
newest democracy bow to the standard-bearer
of autocracv? 1
will not pain their main objective?
the complete disorganization of the 1
Russian government and the elimina- 1
' tion of Russia as a factor in the 1
war.
The new government is taking a 1
firm hold of things and is directing its
attention for the- moment to the wip.
ing out of German intrigue within its
borders. 1
The first move nas been in the arrest
of Nicholai Lenine, principal pacifist
agitator and the man who is
said to have been paid by the German
general staff to return to Russia,
whence he was an exile and embarrass
the new government by his propaganda.
I^anded.
Lenine fled Petrograd several weeks
ago. He was caught after a nationwide
man-hunt, finally being apprehended
in Finland.
Petrograd dispatches indicate that
he will find his fate before a firing
squad. Treason will be the charge.
The Russian government officially
admitted the loss of Stanislau today,
SILVER TEA.
At a meeting of the ways and
means committee of the .Red Cross, it
was unanimouslv deridoH tn v>nl?l ?
series of silyer teas which will he
entirely informal.
The first to be held at the residence
of Mrs. F. J. Parham, No. 4 Keenan
avenue on Thursday afternoon from
4 until 7 o'clock.
Every woman in Union is invited
to attend this meeting and in addition
to beinir nrenared to tell thoiv
heat- joke, bring thimble, needle,
thread, acissora and all the clean
scraps of cloth possible which are
suitable for tearing into strips to be
prepared for weaving into rugs which
will be sold for the benefit of the Ked
Cross. Each lady will be expected to
bring 10 cents, which will put the silver
in the tea.
It is hoped by the committee that
all other meetings will be postponed
on the datfs. of these meetings as the
Red Cross work is one of the most
important and patriotic that one can
find to occupy their time and unless
you have a part in this work you will
live to regret your negligence. There
are no special invitations. The invitation
is general and we sincerely
trust that you will encourage-, us by
your presence. If you cannot come
personally send a representative.
Mrs. C. E. Storm, Chairman.

according to word received here. Defeat
of detachments south of Tarnopol
also was admitted. Nevertheless,
General Bruusiloff, noted field leader,
whose armies are now retreating
faster than they advanced in their
great drive of two weeks, ago, said
today:
"i ueneve in a final victory for Russia.
If I did not I would not be
worthy of living."
Kaiser at Front.
Hindenburg's great blow is being
witnessed by the man who is most
vitally interested?the kaiser. He was
at the Tarnopol front when his troops
carried through. His pleasure at the
developments is shown by the fact
that he has distributed orders of merit
broadcast. Prince Leopold, of Bavaria;
General Hoffman, Prince Leopold's
chief of staff, and Maor Franz,
all are name 1 as having received the
famous order Pour le Merite, with
oak leaves and chain.
The capture of Tarnopol represents
the most easterly advance of the German
forces. It lo on the Sereth, 80
miles east of Le'mberg. The German
advance holds the gravest menace, as
it threatens the Russian food supply.
Careful planning by Hindenburg
and Ludendorff. is seen in every move
so far made. The big, outstanding
tactics of the situation look to the
driving of a wedge between the
Ukrains and western Russia. The
Ukraine?"IJittle /Russia," ?s it 5s
lovingly called by its people?is the*
fertilo granary of the nation. . The
Qwnwn J* mo-- <> ? Ui?
looks to driving a wedge between
these fields of grain and the population
of consumers. The Russian retreat
has not yet reached the stage
where there is immediate menace, but
conditions within the army are such
that the element of danger is everpresent.
Again, there is great discontent
in the Ukraine. Much of this is
directly traceable to German gold, it
is believed.
Czar or Kaiser.
The fact remains tfiat the population
has talked of complete severance
from Petrograd, as Finland has. Kerensky
has his answer ready. His
words, in epitome, are:
"Yes, it was the czar's war. And
we have overthrown the czar. But
now it is the people's war, because
if we do not fight and win we will
have the czar back and will be worse
off than we were before.
"We have our liberty but we must
fight to hold it because if Germany
wins it will be the triumph of autocracy
over free peoples and our liberty
would not last."

BIRTHDAY PARTY
i
In Honor of Mrs. B. G. Clifford.
Many Tokens of Esteem Iteveal
the Good Will of the Community
on 71st Birthday.
Mrs. B. G. Clifford was given a
"birthday party" by the community <
rhursday afternoon of last week, it 1
being her 71st anniversary, and the 1
event was participated in by a large 1
number of Union people. <
The occasion developed wide inter- I
est not only in Union but throughout <
the State and from many sections of '
other States. More than 300 telegrams
and letters of congratulations
were receved by Mrs. Clifford from
out-of-town friends and former students
in the Seminary.
A large number of beautiful presents
and wagon loads of beautiful
flowers were sent as an expression of
the high esteem in which this noble
woman is held. Among the valuable j
presents was a handsome tea wagon
with inlaid tray, the gift of "loving '
friends," a "loving cup", presented by '
the Wm. Wallace chapter, U. D. C.'s, 1
and presented by Mrs. F. M. Farr, 1
with an appropriate address and a :
.L -a! '
Biiower ui oiner useiui and beautiful
gifts.
Mrs. Clifford is recovering from a
recent severe illness, and was able to
be up to receive the large number of
friends who called in person to express
their good wishes.
It was a worthy tribute to a woman
of high attainment and of faithful
service. There is no other resident
of Union who has so high a
record of service as has Mrs. ClifTord.
Dr. and Mrs. Clifford served long and
faithfully as educators and as promoters
of every public movement for
the advancement of Union and Union
county.
It was through the persistent actvities
of Mrs. Clifford that Union now
has a handsome Confederate monument.
It was her ceaseless efforts
that culminated in the building of our ,
Carnegie Free Library; it was she (
who organized the Wm. Wallace chap- (
ler, U.. D. C.'s, here. Throughout the ,
almost half a century Clifford Semi- |
nary has helped and in many cases, ,
given without pay to the education ot |
roving women. There are many now ,
gracing poc.^i?,i-' of great usefulness |
*t^eiety\^JR\?Nla their achievement i
Union does well to honor so faithful j
a public servant. It is fitting that in ,
life, not after death, there should be .
some recognition of such fidelity and ,
service.
SAVE THE TINFOIL.
The ways and means committee is
daily receiving packages of tinfoil
collected by interested persons, and
the men are interested as well as the
women and can be seen daily going
along the streets picking up shiny
pieces of tinfoil. Boxes have been
placed in the drug stores and offices '
for collecting and the chairman, Mrs.
J". T. Storm, asks everybody to save
tinfoil and drop it in one of these 1
boxes or bring it to the Edisonia (
theatre. A goodly TOn has already 1
been collected and, as little as you (
think of it, the treasury of the Red :
Cross chapter will be swelled consid- *
erably from this.
Save your tinfoil from chewing gum J
and cigarettes and put it in one of
these boxes and help the boys in 5
Uncle Sam's army.

IN UNION COUNTY D
? . II
We are all trying to help the allies j
in the fearful struggle they are mak- yj
ing for humanity, civilization and the
freedom of the nations. Union county
is about to send out for this struggle n
the very flower of our manhood. We n
women want to help and we are pre- I1(
paring Union county' honor roll upon j>
which is to be inscribed the name of y
every one of Union county's soldier n
boys. This is to be framed and hung j,upon
the walls of our Carnegie library,
then we are all doing our best j]
in the Red Cross work. Rut there is q
one thing we are overlooking, and
that is the power of concerted prayer. jr
so I suggest that in every nook, and jy
lorner of our county we form a moth- je
ers' prayer meeting and that a prayer j,
meeting be held at some convenient q
place at 6 o'clock on Friday after- q
noons and that every woman and girl
be she wife, mother, daughter, sister, ni
sweetheart or friend to a soldier boy, c
be asked to take part in these meet- vi
Ings and that these women pour out
their heart. faQ united prayer for th% .1
mesSTTIg of our TTeavenyFaTTteT'TTpCfTthe
boys we are sending out to face 0]
dangers and difficulties. Then, too, I rt
ask that when the clock strikes 12 cy
for the noon hour, every one of these Kj
women and girls, without laying aside w
the work inland, lift up their hearts Gt
in an earnest prayer for God's blessing
and help. There need be no ni
lengthy petition, only an earnest q
"God bless and keep our soldier boys jr
and the cause for which they are cl
fighting." This prayer from the en- ta
tire heart of Union county will be a
mighty safeguard and comfort to ta
these boys when far away from home. C?
It is very little that we women e\
folks can do in this terrible crisis w
for our boys, even thoncrVi mnti,- -
_ , ? ?.V? til" U1
?rs' hearts cry out like David, "Oh, ci
-ny boy, my boy, would God I could m
lie for thee," but we can give comfort to
ind have our own hearts and strength- fc
;n the arms of our soldiers by besieg- w
ng the throne of our Almighty God
vith prayer. We are told to ask and p(
>e assured that we shall receive. Why m
should we hold back or hesitate? Let ai
is each and every one approach the
Krone of Grace with boldness and p,
ronfidence. Mrs. B. G. Clifford. j*n
