> . BERLIN SURPRISED Y GZAR'S STRENGTH Sstonished at Great Ofensive Along Fastern Front Berlin, July 10.—The eyes of the Germans were turned today toward the extreme eastern rather than ihe western front. The weight of the first onslaught in the west is believed to have been fully estimated, and, in epite of whatever surprises British strategy may still have in store, pub- lic and expert opimion here 1s confl- dent of the vutcome. It is believed that the Sixth ermy and reserves have the situation well in hand on the ,2Somme front and that nothing can in- terfere with the progress of the Ver- dun campaign. In the east, however, a great gen- eral offensive has burst forth ll along the line from Riga to Rumania. Wave after wave of Russian flesh and stecl is rolling against the Teuton dike which stretches across the Rus- sian provinces. Thrust follows thrust in constant succession, and no sooner “do the Germans suceced in walling the advance at one threatened point thon another mensces. The most striking results thus far manifested have heen in the leader- ship ard distribution of the forces of the central! powers rather than in the actual movemen: of the contending armice. With the exception of General Pflanzer, commwanding a small group *4at the cxtreme southern end of the I'ne, the Ausiro-Hungarian uniis are cverywhere interwalled by Germans, who have furnished reserves to bolster up particul~rly threatened poinis. At the very outset of the Russian offensive Gener~i Pflanzer detached divisions to relieve the hard-pressed Archduke Joseph Ferdinand, and his operations ure now mainly directed te the defense of the Carpathian for and the passes into the Huns: plains. It is betraying no secret to say that the German leaders have been aston- ished at the recuperative powers of the Russians and their freely flowing reservoirs of both men and munitions. Time after time it seemed as If the Russians must be nearing their last ‘ resources in shells and reserves, time and again correspondents at Austrian headquarters reported that the Rus- slan troops were losing their vim and striking power, only to chronicle a day or two later a new onslaught with gresh troops freely supported by ar- tllery. Despite the various Russian gains, however, which, when marked on'the map of the eastern front make a com- paratively small showing for such a eoloseal expenditure of blood and iron, no uneasiness is manifested here. The general offensive on all fronts simul- taneously has compelled the Germans to discontinue their favorite rallroad strategy, but the strategic defense which the Germans have deliberately chosen on the eastern and general western fronts has so far proved ade- quate to hold up the allies’ offensive and has not interfered with the con- tinuance of the assault against Ver- dun. To such an extent is this irue that the Germans still retain the strategic initiative and show no indi- cation of relaxing their grip on the great French fortress. DUTCH WOMEN READY FOR MOBILIZATION Fair Sex of Holland Prepared to Take Up Men's Burden in Case of War. (Correspondence of The Associated Press) The Hague, Netherlands, June 23.— The women of Holland are to be pre- pared for instant mobilization in case of war to keep the essential civil life of the nation going, as well as per- form such service behind the lines as that of the Red Cross. Under the scheme now drawn up, the National Women’s council of the Netherlands is arranging for inscrip- tion offices to be opened all over the country, where all the available fe- male labor force can be registered and classified on the card system. It is to be left to each woman volunteer to say whether she would desire a salary or not, and whether she has any ob- jection to transferment from one place to another, while she is entirely free in her choice of the nature of the work. As, however, there is likely to be a superabundance of offers for cer- tain kinds of labor, the volunteer can register a second and even a third se- lection. No wage pald is to be less than that earned by the man replaced; on the other hand, the woman so em- ployed may in no case claim the place when the emergency is past. The plan has the entire approvai of ministers and the commander-in-chief of land and sea foroes, and the post office, railway and other authorities have promised their co-operation in fixing the amount and kind of labor that would be needed in the event of mobilization. The preparatory work of the women's regimentation is al- ready in full swing in various centers of the country.

NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 10, 1916. | ALL DAY OUTING AT SKRITULSKI'S FARM Children of St. Andrew’s- Church Will Have Picnic Thursday—Other Church Notes. Rev. Edward V. Grikas, pastor St. Andrew’s Lithuanian church, has arranged to give the boys and girls of the Sunday school an all day out- ing and picnic at Skritulski's on Thursday of this week. James F. Farrell has donated the use of his automobile truck «nd the children will leave the church at 9 o'clock in the morning. Refreshments w be served and games enjoved: If the weather does not permit the picnic Thursday it will be postponzd until the following day. A class of 100 boys and girls will receive their first communion at St. Andrew’s church at the 8:30 o'clock mass next Sunday morning. The parish house, Which is being re- modelled, is rapidly nearing comple- tion and Father Grikas expects to oc- cupy it about September 1. Tha en- tire structure has been remodellad and a large addition built on so that place in no way resembles the tragic murder house where the late Rev. Joseph Zebris and his housekeeper met their death over a year ago. of farm PLAYGROUND HOURS, Younger People Must Make Room for Older Generation at Six. 0w that the playground season at St. Mary’s is running in full swing, a new scheduic has gone into effect, a and should be observed by all those using the grounds. In order that the clder people who work during the 4ay may have an opportunity of exer- cising, all children must leave the field at 6 o'clock. Thus they will be able to reach their homes before dusk and give others a chance. Since the opening on the Fourth of Tuly the director and his assistants have been busy teaching the children the variaus games and sports and the odded attendance during the evening proves the plavground to be a busy | and popular place. A record break- irg crowd is looked far on Saturday when the factory league teams play a double header. A pavilion will be crected by August 1 and will be a decided improvement to the equip- ment and canvenience as it will pro- vide Toom for the spectators to sit and watch the sports. Showers and other necessities will soon be installed and will be a great help to those taking part in the games, SWITZERLAND SURPRISED. German Airships, Larger Than “Zepps” Hover Over Lake Constance. (Correspondence of The Associated Press) Berne, Switzerland, July 8.—People living along the Swiss border of the lake of Constance have been greatly surprised over the movements of the new monster-airship, much larger than all other Zeppelins, that has been making trial trips over the lake. The length of this ship is said to be 240 yards, or almost double that of other Zeppelins. The cubic contents is even more than double, 54,000 cubic me- ters instead of 20,000, and the num- ber of the gondolas is four instead of two. These gondolas are said to be armed with guns, machine guns, and a new kind of air torpedo. Despite its huge bulk the ship gives the impression of fish-like slender- ness. The steering gear forms an ex- act cross. The motors are 83,000,4,- 000 horse power, able to give the alr- ship a speed of 90 kilometers an hour. To avoid breakdowns, the motors are in double number. The crew is said to be 30 to 40 men. The ship can reach a height of three to four miles. RESTORATION PERFECT. Wives of Soldier Gobelin Workers Re- pairing Damaged Rheims Tapestries. (Correspondence of The Associated Press) Paris, July 2.—M. Geffroy, director of the national tapestry manufactory, the Gobelins, says that the restoration of the rare tapestries that were dam- aged by shell fire at Rheims will be perfect. Sixty-five wives of mobilized em- ployes of the Gobelins are now em- ployed in the fine-drawing depart- ment where are being repaired three of the most important tapestries of thec hurch of Remi aat Rhelms and other rare pieces from the Cathedral at Rheims from the Louvre museum and from the museum of Lyons. The Gobelins lost 26 of its 56 tapes- try makers, five out of six of its lab- oratory men and halt of the rest of the staff by mobilization but new work as well as impprtant repairs has gone on interruptedly. WHERE LIVING IS HIGH. Belgian Face Unheard of Prices— Coftee $1.50 Kilogram. (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press) The Hague, Netherlands, July 3.— Notwithstanding the good offices of the Belgian relief committee, the prices of articles of popular necessity in Belgium have risen to unheard-of heights. A list of some of these ar- ticles shows an average rise of 450 per cent., as compared with 1914. Ac- cording to Belgian advices, a packet of household soap that formerly cost 11 cents, now costs one dollar, coffee s $1.50 a kilogram, as against 40 sugar forty-two cents, against fourteen; bacon or ham $1.20 as against 48 cents; tobacco eighty cents, against 30; butter, $1.40, against 64 cents; prime heef $1.60, against 60 cents; and cheese $1.28, against 48 cents. While regulations and maximum prices have been proclaimed by the authorities, it is declared that if one seeks any of the things thus official- Iy regulated at the lawful price, the customer is told that it is “sold out' —anad the sale is made only secretly at any price the dealer can command. | Prohibitionists Meet in St. Paul July 18 T0 Nominate Candidaie for Presidency Mr. and Mrs. this city are at I Mr. and Mrs John Ibells, f but now of Sche this c: Mrs. daughter, to Morning will occupy thei remainder of th Mis: ide Mr. and Mn daughter, Beach M vacation rington. with ri George Mr. and Mrs city at their brook. sun Plymouth.
