Among them are a Shakespeare First Folio, a fa- mous Caxton, the English Bible of 1550 and a first edition of Burfon’s “Anatomy.” There are also many first editions of famous American writers, each autographed, by the author. The task of moving’the books of the Harvard library from the build-- ings where they have been temporari- ly housed begins today.

RUSSIANS BRAVELY DEFENDED LEMBERG| To Yery Last Desplte Fact Situa-| tion Was Hopeless Berlin, June 24, via London 12:20 p. m.—Details of the taking of Lem- berg, whileé still meagre, show that the Russian troops put up a strong resistance to the very last, and this in spite of the fact that their situa- ion was hopeless. Before the city fell the armies un- der Gen, Von Mackensen and Arch- duke Joseph Ferdinand had driven wedges deep into the northern sec- tion of the Russian line, even as far as Tanew, cutting this line into two detached parts. . Under pressure from the northwest, and following espec- jally effective artillery bombardment by the army of General Boehm-Er- molli, the Archduke completed the disaster by breaking the Russian cen- ter, which was supported on Lem- berg. At the same time Gen Von Mackensen pressed steadily on the soldiers of Emperor Nicholas who were in full retreat along the line from Lemberg to Rawa Ruska. Gen- eral Boehm-Ermolli assumed the pur- suit of the enemy northeast and eaSt of Lemberg. Russians Begin Retreat, As soon as the investment of Lem:- berg had‘ been completed according to the despatches reaching Berlin, the Russians, threatened by the further advance of the Germans and the Austro-Hungarians, also began retreating from the angle in north- ern Galicia formed' by the rivers San and Vistula, a section of territory ‘which lies to the northwest of Pra- emysl, as well as.from*the district around Kielce, in Russian Poland, about 100 miles south of Warsaw. The victorious troops of the Ger- manic allies were given an ovation when they entered Lemberg. The city is described as having been little damaged, with exception of a big fire in the western part, where the Rus- sians ignited 'some petroleum a and benzine tanks, the railroad station, and several adjoining factories. The city apparently had not been touched by the artillery fire of'the Russians and the Austrians, Fortifications Modernized Captured officers declare that even until recently the fall of Lemberg had not been regarded as a remote possibility by the Russians, The fort- ifications of the city had been moder- ized by them in'@very way. . - The loss of Lemberg deprives the Russians of their last strong sup- porting point on. Galician soil.. The moral effect of the occupation, also, iwill be considerable. It is now being recalled in Berlin that three months ago ' Emperor Nicholas declared thatl the fall of Przemysl, in connection with the occupation of Lemberg, con- Stituted an overpowering victory for the Slavs.. 4 MAYORS TO MEET JUNE 29.
