ROSSSHORDS FRON L RIGATO BUEOWINA Bla\; and Teuton Hosts Engaged in Desperate Strife Upon Front of Seven Hundred Miles. AT THE GATES OF CZERNOWITZ London, June 13—Heavy fighting is in progress over virtually the en- tire eastern front from the Gulf of Riga to Bukowina, a distance of be- tween 600 and 700 miles. From Riga to the Jasiolda river, northwest of the Pripet marsh region, the Germans have taken the offensive against the Russians, probably in an effort to di- vert the attention of the Russians who are in the second week of their drive against the Austrians and Ger- mans from the Pripet marshes south- ward to Bukowina. On all sectors of the northern line he Russians have successfully with- sood the German onslaughts and riven back the attacking forces. They have even gained ground against them north of the Tirul marsh, south- .wast of Riga, says Petrograd. Make Fresh Advances. In southwest Russia, in the region . of Lutsk, fresh advances against the Austrians are reported by the Rus- sian war office, as likewise is the case across the border through east Galicia. In the southern part of this region the Russians are nearing Czernowitz, the capital of the Aus- trian crownland of Bukowina. Although the Austrians at numerous oints are vigorously counter-attack- ing, the only place the Russians have been forced to give ground was near Bobulintze, north of Buczacz, in Ga- licia, where the Austrians were re- inforced by German troops. The Rus- sians captured here by the Teutons exceeded 1,300. The total of men taken prisoners by the Russians since their offensive ‘began has grown to more than 114,000 Germans Attack French. Northeast of Verdun the Germans have. thrown ~ successive attacks against -the French positions north of Thiaumont, but all the assaults were repulsed with serious losses. The heavy bombardment by the Ger- mans in this region extend from Thiaumont eastward to the west and south of Fort Vaux and to the French second line positions of Fort Souville and Fort Tavannes, about three miles northeast of Verdun. On the remainder of the front in France and Belgium there have been only artillery duels and sapping oper- ations, except in Champagne, where Berlin reports the penetration of French positions and the capture of more than 100 men and four machine guns, A Russian cavalry force of 1,000 men, operating between the Caucasus and Mesopotamia fronts, has been an- nihilated by the Turks, who also cap- tured a large amount of war ma- terial, according to Constantinople. On the remainder of the front in Asiatic Turkey there is no change in the situation. : The masking of important Bulga- rian troop movements is believed to be connected with the closing of the Bulgar-Rumanian “frontier to passen- gers and merchandise traffic, says an unofficial dispatch from Bucnarest. Youthful Player Makes Fine Showing in Field Club Match Play in the handicap tennis tourna- ment at the:Omaha Field club brought out some very excellent tennis Mon- day afternoon. Ralph Powell, after defeating Gu Williams by the scores of 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, turned upon Clayton Nichols and eliminated him, 6-1, 6-4. Nichols . _played a clever game, but was out- Yclassed by the fast play of Powell. Will Adams, by clever work, beat Dr. Carney, 6-1, 8-6, although forced to give Carney thirty on every game. He is getting into good form, and stands a good chance to reach the finals. Clarey Hannighen, a boy of 16, up- set all dope by winning from Joe Adams by 8-6 and 6-2. The game was the hardest fought match of the day, and although Adams played brilliant tennis he could not solve the fast game of his younger opponent. Hannighen has developed a first- class game and is sure to be heard from in the tournaments this summer. t Play will be resumed Tuesday eve- ning and the finals will be reached by Thursday. Walsh Will Pitch His First Game Today Chicago, IlL, June 13—Ed Walsh will start against Walter Johnson in today's Sox-Senator game at the South Side park, it being Walsh's first game this season and the first time the two pitchers have faced each ather in three years. Walsh has been warming up in good shape foi the last few days and has been showing old-time form in pitching to his team mates. Manager Clarence Rowland thinks that Walsh is ready to start and is sending him in to opposc John- son, who is being sent to the box to try to break Washington's losing streak. The Senators have won but one of the eleven games they have played since leaving home, and John- son is credited with that. The White Sox have contributed three straight THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1918, _is Delay now will cost you sll to The “Handy Volume” Sale of the new In Three Nhlinutefl There are a million homes, perhaps two or three million, in the United States—homes of eager wide-awake people, eager to know tixings for them- selves, eager for larger opportunities, for themselves, for their children— in which the Encyclopaedia Britannica would be welcome. But from $166 to $250 for a single set of books is a nearly prohibitive price for the great majority of people.

(See below.)
