Itiers. 1 Heavy fighting wag reported north
t Lemberg, even before the fall of
this city, so that Grand Duke Nicho
las may have had some difficulty in
withdrawing his men to new lines
along the river Bug.

luctantly today that the power of offen
sive has passed for some time In the Rus
sians, while special dispatches from Pe
trr.gTad declared that It may be even

in spite of their hopeless situation. . t
Before the city fell armies under Gen
eral von Mackensen and Archduke Joseph
Ferdinand had driven wedges deep into
the northern section of the Russian line,
een as far as Tanew, cutting this line
in two. Under pressure from the t orth
west and following especially an effec

General Boehm Ermollt the archduke
completed the disaster by breaking the
Russian center, which was supported on
Lemberg., At the same time General von
Vackensen pressed steadily on the sol
diers of Emperor Nicholas, who were In
full retreat along the lhie from lemberg

Interview With the
Pope is Inaccurate
HOME, June 83.-Vla Paris. June 2.)
The Osservatnro Romano, the official
organ of tho Vatican, publishes the fol
lowing concerning the Intnrvlew at
tributed to Pope Benedict by Louis Lata
pla in La IJberte of Paris:
"To put our readers and dlsconcernlng
and Impartial men of all nations on
guard against arbitrary interpretation of
the mind of the Holy Pee we are unable
to let pass without remark the account
of the Interview of a foreign Journalist
with the sovereign pontiff, published and
commented upon In the newspapers. .
"To out short these Interpretations and
commentatories, we recall that there Is
an essential difference between the of
ficial publlo documents of the holy Rea
and private publications. Aa to that
which concerns tha European conflict,
tha thought of the sovereign pontiff Is
not doubtful because It has been clearly
expressed at different times In numerous
pontifical documents, namaly the ency
olioal of November 1, 1114; the Christmas
discourse to cardinals, the conslstorlai
allocution of January 22, 1916; many let
ter from the pontiff to cardinals and
prelates, and the recent letter of May SO
to Cardinal Vannuttell, head of tha Sa
cred college.
"These offlrlal public documents reflect
exactly tho Idess of the pope and Holy
See, who accept alt responsibility. The
other documents, many private publica
tions, and also the one discussed today,
can contain and do contain In fact, a
number of Inaccuracies. Several of these
Inacouraclea are ao evident it Is useless
to point them out."

spend the day with his Intimate
friend. Colonel F. M, House, and to
receive at first hand the latter' Im
pressions of the war situation In Eu
rope as It affects the United States.
Colonel House, who ten days ax a
returned from a four months' trip,
which carried him to London, Paris
and Berlin, greeted the president
warmly and took him by automobile
Immediately to his country estate,
where they were to spend the day,

screened from the roadway by towering
trees and shrubbery, apparently In
earnest conversation. Presently they rose
and went for a stroll over the estste, the
walk ending at a vine-covered pergola,
where thev sat down.
During the stroll the president asked
many questions and listened In silence
for long periods to Colonel House's re
plies. No part of their conversation waa
divulged, but It was generally known that
the fplcs were the European war. Its
developments, the attitude of foreign
governments toward the United Ptatea.
how the masses of the warring nations
regarded the struggle and the prospects
for peace.
Fire Mentha la Rnrope.
What Colonel House had to tell the
president was gained from a trip that
started January SO and ended June 14.
During his stay abroad Colonel House
visited Pti- Fdward Orey, the British
minister of foreign affairs, and after a
month's stay In Ixindon departed for
Pnrls. where, it was reported, he de
livered a letter from President Wilson to
President Polncare. Prom Paris Colonel
House went to nrrlln. He was received
there by Ambassador Oerard and after
a two weeks' stay called on the German
Imperial chancellor. Von Bethman-Holl-weg.
He then returned to Farla and later
went to London.
During his trip It was several times
reported that he was acting aa President
Wilson's personal emissary, but this wss
denied by both.
It was recalled In connection with tha
president's visit today that he had con
ferred with Colonel House before tha
Mexican crisis of 1914. The Information

After spending the entire forenoon In

The afternoon was to be devoted to a
resumption of the conference, varied by
an hour or so of golf, or automobile rid

Causes tho Closing
Of Chicago Plants
CHICAGO. June 24. Taking the -lead In
action which it ia estimated will throw
lM.OOO men out of employment in this
city, the Bdward 111 nes Lumber com
pany, tha largest in Chicago, announced
today on Monday It will close Its twenty
yards. Tha onmpany employs lO.ono men.
Tha Illinois Brick company will be the
next to eeaae operations.
The crista is due to the rejection of
arbitration by tha carpenters, who have
been on strike for nearly two months.
Tha building material men say that they
have been operating at a loss during tha
strike.
"The whole trouble could have been
settled easily," said Mr. Hlnea, "If tha
carpenters had shown a disposition to be
fair."
President John Mtts of the Carpen
ters' union, said:
"The thing that pussies me Is why tha
building material men should take this
action, when two-thirds of the carpenter
are employed at the TO-cent rata for
which they went on strike. The Contrac
tors' association normally employs SO per
cent of our men, but the Independents
right now are employing more than ever.
"We believe the effect of the tleup on
building operations will not ba seriously
felt for two months. There Is plenty of
stock In tha city."
