The Russians are now making their stand on the Bug River. This great stream, which offers many advantages for a strong defence, rises near Zloc- cow in Galicia, runs almost north, forms a great part of the eastern frontier of Russian Poland and joins the Vistula eighteen miles northwest of Warsaw. It is along its Galician course that the army of Grand Duke Nicholas is believed to have taken up strong positions, the loss of which would mean the further retirement of the Russian forces. Russians Driven Back. Already the Austro-Germans have pushed the Russians back to the Bug River near Kamionka, northeast of Lemberg and further north have pen- ctrated Russian Poland, capturing the important town of Tomaszow; they have also, according to the official re- port from Vienna, driven the Russians holding ground near Sielec, northward as far as Krystianpol, a distance of eight miles, and have taken ¥n, north of Halicz. In fact, the asses of Austrian and German troops are advancing along their en- tire front, in the southeast forcing the Russians before them in a broad &weeping movement and in_the north- east pushing forward, with Warsaw, the Polish capital, as their objective. hould the Austro-Germans succeed in crossing the Bug River in strength the complete evacuation of eastern Galicia by the Russians would seem probable. Montenegrins In Albania. An interesting incident of the war is the occupation of Scutari, Albania, by the Montenegrins. Two years ago, in the Balkan War, the ~Montenegrin troops captured Scutari, after a long siege and held it for a time against the protests of the great powers— “ustria and Italy being mostly con- cerned—but_its evacuation was or- dered by King Nicholas when the Montenegrin coast was blockaded by en international naval squadron. Ser- bia had already sent troops into Al- bania, when Montenegro decided to make a second descent on Scutari, which has long been an object of her desire. Quiet In Western Zone, The western zone is strangely quiet. Although the sector in which ‘Arras is situated is still the scene of French cfforts to gain ground, which in the final accounting would prove of im- measurable value to them, and fight- ing also has been going on in the Vosges, where the Germans captured positions held by the French on the slopes to the east of Metzeral, only to have them re-taken, there are great stretches of the Franco-Belgian front, which to the unitiated are character- ized by a somewhat mysterious inac- tivity. " This has been particularly no- ticeable of late with reference to the section held by the British troops. Asquith’s Plea for Money. In the Guildhall at London Premier Asquith has made a plea to the peo- ple to come forward and subscribe to the new war loan and at the same time urged upon them the necessity of thrift to this end. In the French senate Premier Vi- viani and tae war minister, M. Mil- lerand, urging the passage of the ap- propriations bill, providing $1,120,000,- 100 to cover the government expenses for the quarter beginning July 1, which was eventually adopted, made a plea for solidarity and patient ef- fort. The war minister announced a vast Increase, in the production of ammunition and gun: GERMAN GOVERNMENT TO CONSERVE GRAIN CROP Maximum Price Will Not be Fixed Until Crop is Harvested. Berlin, via London, June 29, 9:40 p. m—-The German government has fecided to adopt the same measures for the conservation of this years op of grain as were employed last jear, expropriating all grain and fix- ng maximum prices for its sale.

HEROIC CHARGE BY ITALIAN GRENADIERS, Tallest Men in the Army Led By Colossal Major Mamfredi. Milan, Italy, June 92, Via Lusano, l.45a. m., and Paris, 145 p. m—The Corriere Della Serba prints an ac- iount of a charge by an Italian force, | brigade of grenadiers comprising the allest men in the army, at the time »f the occupation of the Carso Heights 1ortheast of Monfalcone. The grena- liers, s the newspaper, approached o within fif; rds of the entrenched memy when, with the cry of “Savoy” hey sprang with fixed bayonet on the istrians, who broke and fled. A shower of artillery obliged the enadiers to change their position to wotect themselves. The Austrians, wideatly believing the Italians had etired, " advanced to occupy the lost mtrenchments, whereupon the colos- al Major Manfredi, taking the colors n hand, cried: “Grenadiers, remem- ter the Cardinian rigade never with= drew.” The grenadiers, the news- paper adds, flung themselves upon the advancing troops, driving them back but_sWfapnel carried away the left leg of Major Manfredi, who shortly aft- erwards died from loss_of blood, his last words being “Good bye, my brave boys: long live Ital TO ASK ASQUITH ABOUT PEACE TERMS. David Mason Has Given Notice in the House of Commons. London, June 29, § p. m.—David Ma- son, a liberal member of the house of commons for Coventry, has given no- tice that he will ask Premier Asquith in the house on Wednesday “whether, in view of certain speeches by some members of the German parliament, demanding a_speedy and honorable peace, His Majesty’'s government will consider the advisability of stating more specifically than heretofore the terms upon which such a peace would be possible, with the object of hasten- ing such a happy consummation.” AMERICANS ARE CARELESS ABOUT THEIR PASSPORTS. Many Detained in Liverpool Because of Imperfect Documents. Liverpool, June 29, 6.10 p. m, — Al- though the port authorities refused to disclose the names, it is known that three passengers on board the Cunard line steamship Orduna on_ arriving here last night from New York were detained because of the documents necessary to secure their admission to this country were not satisfactory. When the American Line steamship St. Paul arrived in the Mersey two days ago eight of her passengers were detained. Two of the passengers detained on the Orduna are English women, mar- ried to Americans, who had signed as British subjects and did not believe that passports were necessary. Of those held on the St. Paul two without photographs were released on securing these properly sealed by the American consul, while six others, the members of two families, were releas- ed when passports were granted them on the proper naturalization papers which they carried.

New York Gity's Big Bond Issue $71,000000 OF 41-2 PER CENT. FOUR TIMES OVERSUBSCRIBED. BUT BIDS WERE LOW Only a Few of the Small Bids Came Within Range of Estimates—Some of the Big Bids Were Par. Almost at New York, June 29.—Unusual inter- est attached to today’s sale by the city of New York of $71,000,000 of 4 1-2 per cent. bonds, not only because of the magnitude of the offering, the largest in the city’s history, but more partic- ularly because of its bearing upon the general investment situation at this time. Considering the enormous cash re- sources available at this and other do- mestic centers, and taking the attract- ing interest rate into account, the re- sult was said to be much below ex- pectations. Bids Were Low. It was freely predicted in the finan- cial district a few days ago that the average bid for the G50-year issue, which comprises $46,000,000 of the ‘whole, would be at or around 103, while the serial issue was expected to aver- age at least 102. Only a few of the small bids opened today came within range of the estimates, one of the most important of the “all or none” bids made by a leading banking syndicate falling far short of these figures. $296,000,000 Offered. To a large extent, the disturbed financial conditions in Europe were re- sponsible for the low bids. Under nor- mal conditions, local bankers would have placed large bids for their for-’ eign correspondents, but such par- ticipation was withheld on this occa- sion by reason of pressing necessities abroad. All told, bids were more than four times in excess of the total issue, amounting to about $296,000,000. De- mand for the long term issue was al- most twice as large as for the serial, with a total of 216 bids. Former Bond Issues. In 1913 the city offered $45,000,000 of 4 1-2 per cent. bonds which aver- aged only 100.15. In 1908 a $50,000,000 offering at the same rate averaged 104. A $40,000,000 sale in 1907, also at 4 1-2 per cent., averaged 102.26. With the exception of these sales and today's offering, all other city honds sold since 1905 have been on the basis of 4 or 4 per cent, NEW IDEALS REGARDING CAUSES OF IMMORALITY Homeopathists Declare Mothers still Wrong Ideas. In- Chicago June 29.—Wrong ideals in- stilled by mothers are more potent factors in promoting immorality than commercialized vice according to Dr. Albert A. Ogle of Indlanapolis, who spoke today before the Bureau of Sanitary Science of the American Institute of Homeopathy. The time is opportune for a recast- ing of our ideas regarding causes of immorality,” said Dr. Ogle. “The popular theéory that low wages to wo- men cause immorality is vanishing in- to thin air, “The underworld is largely misun- derstood. We are pleased to think that immorality exists in segregated districts, the underworld of sensa- tional writers and the police courts. In reality the underworld exists throughout society. At the very be- ginning of married life the founda- tion of the home and all future hap- piness are seriously menaced by the pernicious education of young wives who refuse to assume their responsi- bilities. ‘In the universal franchise that is soon to be theirs women must realize that there is a deeper, truer patriot- ism than waving a bit of white dur- ing the playing of the national an- them. Their patriotism must be ex- pressed in the intellizence and integ- rity of their children Dr. Irvin D. Metzger, of Pittsburgh, condemned the practice of detailing young and inexperienced physicians to make examinations of school child- ren for the reason that they are liable to err in making a diagnosis and lull parents into a sense of false security where some grave couditions might really exist. He asserted that unless experienced practioners were used it would be better not to have any school work. il W MIDSHIPMEN’S CRUISE THROUGH PANAMA CANAL Secretary Daniels Has Announced Start is to Be Made July 7.

H., June 29.—An unsuc- cessful effort was made today to ar- range an _interview here between President Wilson and General Felipe Angeles, the Mexican leader who re- cently came to the United States, and who wants to give the president his view of conditions in Mexico and to suggest a way of meeting Mr. Wilson's warning that the situation there must change.
