e GERMANS MAKING GAINS IN GALICIA Teptons Advance Five Miles at One Point and Russians Fif- teen at Another. AUSTRIANS HARD PRESSED London, July 3—As a result of one week of most costly onslaughts on the Russian lines between the Stokoh and the Styr rivers the Austro-Ger- man forces have advanced their battle front at the most five miles castward toward the Styr, and that only in some sectors, says a Reuter's dis- patch from Petrograd.

In winter she hid herself in some of the least expensive neighborhoods around New York, guarding her identity by put- ting the name of her pet dog, “Dewey,” on the doorplate. Her daughter, Sylvia, was her only com- panion, The latter she kept from so- ciety, but in 1909 consented to her marriage, at the age of 30, to Mat- thew Astor Wilks, a weaithy New Yorker of 57 years.

If asked for advice as to what would be good to invest,in, her epigramatic answer was usually, “The other world.” While never intensely religious,. she was a frequent attendant at Quaker meetings, and only a few years ago she, like her daughter, was baptised in the Episcopal church. She emphatically denied that her disposition was miserly. Durm? the panic of 1907-08 she made loans which tided over many wealthy New Yorkers. Two years before the panic it was said she had gathered in a large portion of her money and was repared when the storm broke to end a helping hand, at a good rate of interest. It was sometimes in- timated that upon her death the cound| try might be surprised at the disposi- tion she would make of her wealth. Orpet Jury Spends Holidays at Lake . Home of Member Waukegan, 111, June 3.—When the trial of Will H. Orpet, former Uni- versity of Wisconsin student, accused of the murder of Marion Lambert, is resumed in Judge Donnelly’s court here Wednesday, two new lines of ex- pert testimony are expected to be de- veloped by the defense. Y Dr. William O. Krohn of Chicago, noted as an alienist, is to take the stand, it was announced today. It is said that he will testify that in his opinion Marion Lambert's disposition and frame of mind were such that the suicide theory of .the defense is logi- cal and consistent with the physical facts already adduced. The other line of reasoning he is expected to suppoft is that Orpet'simgental constitution is such that he is¥Wncapable of murder. ‘Dr. Krohn is' said to have made an ex- tended study of Orpet. . Further evidence is to be presented, it was said today, that there were no spots on Marion’s coat when it was t roduced at the coroner’s inquest. It is said that other members of the coroner’s jury will give testimony cor- roborating that already presented by two members of the jury. The state, however, 18 said to be working on a plan to rebut this testi- mony, and that this plan contemplates the calling of at least two members of this coroner's jury to deny statements already made regarding the coat. Just who these jurors are has not been indicated. The jurors who are hearing the Orpet case afe enjoying a holiday house party at the home of Len Bar- tell, the first juror to be selected, at the north end of Channel Lake near the Wisconsin line.

It is said Hetty Robinson had been brought up from childhood to count this money as hers, and the aunt expressed the hope that Hetty would some day become, as she did, the richest woman in the country. The division of the aunt's estate, however, was not as expected.

FOUR THIRTY TODAY By MELLIFICIA—July 4. A wee kindergartner told me the other day, “I made a picture of George Washington at school.” But when I asked her who was George Washington she said, “Why, George Washington,” and no further inquiry could elicit any information. There is a group of children in town, how- ever, who not only know about the father of their country, but are doing what they can to preserve his pa- triotic spirit. The children of the West Harney street region have for the last five years observed a safe and sane Fourth of July. Under the guidance of Mrs. George Mickel and others, they have staged the cleverest parades and patriotic celebrations without a suggestion of broken arms and burn- AT bigger and better afiai} than ever be- fore, it is said, because fifty children 7+ from Seymour Lake have collabor- 2 ated to make the event a huge su cess. The parade will take place at Seymour Lake club grounds, start- ing at the playgrounds and moving to the club flou;c. The hour set for the pageant is 4:30 noon. Lincoln Pastor Preaches a Patriotic Sermon (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, July 3.—(Special).—~From the very highest point on St. Paul Methodist church, where stands a big electric cross lighted by over 600 electric lights, waves Old Glory. The church is presided over by Rev. T. W. Jeffrey, the preacher who has from time to time taken a firm stand for preparedness and who has been criticized by some of ‘the pacifists. ? Last night Dr. Jeffrey delivered a sermon on the “Glory of the Flag.” He said that the men or the news- this after- El | paper who would in any way dis- courage enlistments at this time was a traitor to his country and he had no use for that ‘sort of an individual, “The greatest emblem on the face of the world is the cross of Jesus Christ,” said the preacher, “but next 4 49 t place some restrictions as to mili= || ry and naval service in time of war. | | aerlal voyage or of military or naval (| to that is the flag of one’s country.” The heat of the torrid zone is experipppm..’ enced on the seacoast ofé Mexico and the - low tracts bordering on the guif, and in the valleys shut in by mountains.
