RUSS MAKE STAND
ON THE GNILA LIPA
Czar's General Staff Announces that
Army is Ready to Effectually
Oppose Further Advance
TEUTONS TRY FLANK MOVEMENT
BI'LLRTI),
BERLIN, June 28. (Via
Lon
don.) The town of Halicz. In Cal-
Icia. on the Dneister river, has been !
occupied by German troops, accord
ing to the announcement given out
today by German military headquar
ters. Besides the occupation of Halicz,
the official statement announces that
the river Dniester has been crossed
by the Germans along the entire
front.' .
PETROGRAD, June 2 8. (Via
London.) Officers of the Russian
general staff now state that they
have satisfactorily achieved the re
grouping of their forces necessitated
by the German Gallclan campaign
and that they stand ready effectively
to oppose a further advance of the
AuBtro-German forces In Gallcla or
In southern Russia.
The Gnlla LIdb, river, to which the
Russian forcea have retired, flows
south from above Rohatyn and pro
vides admirable facilities for defense.
Fifteen miles further eastward the
Zlota Lipa, paralleling the Gnila
LI pa, the Russians believe, would
offer even a stronger obstacle to the
enemy, since it is supported with a
good railroad line.
The moat Important point of the pres
ent front Is that portion of the Vistula,
Just north of the river San. . Here the
Germans are attempting to force the
river and flank the Russian positions
along the Tanew, which have success
fully resisted frontal attacks.
The wooded approach to the river here
allows the Germans to conceal their bat
terles. but up to Saturday no real advan
tage had been gained by the Germans.
The importance of this move is well
recognized by the Russians, since, If suc
cessful, it would unite the German forces
on both sides of the Vistula with those
operating on the Tanew front.
German activity appears to bo limited
at present to the Dniester and Vistula
rivers. In the region of Lemberg no
serious fighting has been reported.
Mrs. Palmer and Sons
Start on Long Hike
Mrs. Charlotte Palmer and sons. Kd,
and Ross, leave this evening; for a hike
to Sajt Francisco. Their French poodle
will accompany them. All the walkers
will wear odometers, even to the poodle,
"Zoemay," for which a special odometer
was made.
Several yearj ago the Palmer party
hiked from Davenport, la.", to Lowell,
Mass., In ninety days. The trip to San
Francisco, Mrs. Palmer thinks, will take
110 days. She and the boys will follow
the Lincoln highway. They will walk
twenty miles a day, doing half In the
early morning and half in the cool of the
evening. At Salt Lake City they will
fill their canteens with two gallons of
water . each for the walk of 500 mtle
across the desert, taking also a good
supply of lemons and depending on cactus
plants for stimulant. They came 'down
from Fremont to make the start from
here and have a letter from Mayor Dahl
man to Introduce them enroute. They
carry a camera, a gun and musical In
struments. Panama Canal Pays
Operating Expenses
WASHINGTON, June 28.-A total of
14,000,000 In tolls wss collected for the up
of the Panama canal during the period
from the opening of the water way up
to June 8, last
During April the tolls for the first time
were greater than the cost of operation
snd maintenance of the canal by SS4.112,
the total for the month being S8M12. the
total for the month being S442.41S and the
coet ef operation $361, . the latter being
the least for any montli since the open
ing of the canal. The reduction in operat
ing expenses were due largely to dimin
ished dredging operations.
Partial returns for May indicate thstj
the tolls for that month will awell the
total for the eleven months preceding to !
a figure sufficient to wipe out the pre
vious existing deficit.

Aeroplanes Fight

LONDON-. June 28. -A dramatic air
duel In which a British aeroplane recoln
noterlng over the Reliilan town of Poel
cappelle. at a height of 4.W0 feet, met
and engaged a Inrg-j Gorman biplane,
which had double engines and propellers,
is describe, I by the eye witness at the
British headquarters In a narrative marie
jpuhllc today by the official press bureau.
I He wr.tes:
"The German machine first circled
around ours, at the amc time shooting
a machine gun. but so far as known not
inflicting any damage. Then our observer
fired fifty rounds in return st a range of
less than 2"0 arris. It had some effect,
for the hostile biplane was seen to waver
and after more shots Its engines stopped.
The enemy aeroplane then dived to a
level of 2,W feet, where it again
flattened its course, lying slowly and
erratically.
"Tnder heavy anti-aircraft fim from

Bryan May Address
Sons of Teutons in
Chicago Coliseum
CHICAGO, June 28 William Jennings
Bryan may yet adresa the Sons of Teu
tona, "If satisfactory arrangements can
be made.',, .,
This statement was made today by G.
F. HummeU, chairman of the committee
on arrangements for the meeting which
was to have been held tonUeht and at
which It was originally arranged that
Mr. Bryan, pausing here on his trip to
Lincoln, Neb., should speak.
"The subject on which Mr. Bryan was
to talk was really a minor matter," said
Mr. HummeU. "We wanted him to talk
on the exportation of ammunition and
ho offered to repeat his New York ad
dress on 'Peace.' That talk would do us
no good. Stop the exportation of muni
tions of war and there would be peace In
a month. We telegraphed him requesting
a change of topic, and we shall know
more about that when he arrives here
this afternoon. My committee will meet
him at the stitlon.
"The meeting has been postponed, not
because of Mr. Bryan so much as be
cause It appeared doubtful If the Coliseum
could be prepared to hold the crowd.
Later wo wll have the meeting and Mr.
Bryan will be the principal speaker if
w-e. can make satisfactory arrangements
with him."
"Would a talk of peace be setiefao
tory?" Mr. Hummel was asked.
"A talk on peace would do us no
good," Mr. Hummel reiterated.

Interview, With

Writes Secretary
ROME, June SR. (Via Tarls.) An In
terview published In the Corriere il'ltalta
this morning with Cardinal Pletri Gas
perrl. the papal secretary ot sta'e,' dls-ct-ssed
the interview obtained last week
by Louis Lataple, a member of the staff

dict. The secretary of state saysi
"M. Lataple invented entirely many
trave assertions. You must remember
that a phrase lnsolated from the context
cannot reproduce faithfully a thought.
cr, what Is worse. It gives a meaning
entirely false. j
For Instance, take the quotations re
garding hostages la Berlin. What con
fusion! The pontiff is made to mix the
Jews of Gallcla, the Austrian priests of
Cremona and the Belgian prelate, all
of which, according to M. Lataple, was
covered tn the allocution of January 22.
"With regard to the Jews It was In
Varch that Austria-Hungary sent a pro
test to the Holy See. The protest was
not mentioned, as the Vatican could not
condemn Russia on the sole affirmation
of Austria-Hungary.
"The pope was Informed that Italy had
taken some parish priests of the towns
occupied as hostages, but the bishop of
Cremona informed him that they were
tieated with every regard. Indeed the
pontiff furnishes them with fund for
masses. The pope knows all this per
fectly. How then could he put them in
a category with the Belgian and French
hostagea or with the Jews of Russia?
"With regard to General von Blsslng,
the German governor of Belgium, neither
the holy father nor secretary of state
ever received a letter or a commt'nlca.
tion from him directly or Indirectly.
Tt.us the pope could not refer to such a
letter, and he did not. The letter was
born of the fervid Imagination of M.
I-atapte."

FRENCH FORCES LESS ACTIVE
LONDON. June 2S. The anniver

nand of Austria, which turned Eu
rope Into an armed famp, finds the
strugRlo between Teutonlsin and
Slavism for racial ascendancy n sar
in what Is thought hero to be Its
high water mark, with the Teutonic
armies for the most part still out
wardly dominating the situation.
The penetration of the Germanic
armies eastward from Lemberg has
had the Inevitable result of forcing
the Russians from the thirty-mile
front, between Bobrka and Zurawna.
The Muscovites are now falling hack to
the Onlla Llpa river. Military writers
her anticipate that this wll necessitate
a total withdrawal from tho Dniester and
thru the Russians will make their next
real stand on' the river Bug.
These writers also hoM that though
the Russian retreat must mean a great
retards tion to the prospect of a Musco
vite recovery to a condition making a
counter offensive possible. It haa also
robbed the Austro-Germans of what
mlKht have been a Complete victory had
they forced tho Russians to fight to a
finish Instead of the latter being able to
withdraw their armies virtually Intact.

War in Europe Will
Be Issue in Election
Up in South Dakota
PIOHX FALLS, 8. D., June .-(Spe-fclal.-The
European war has "busted
up" the official family of Shertf Henry
Heerleln. of Brule county, and one of
his chief deputies, dissatisfied .with the
pro-German expressions of his chief, be
ing himself a partisan o the allies, has
resigned his office by flllua- with the
sheriff one of the most remarkable resig
nations on record. The retiring deputy
announces that he will be a candidate
for sheriff to succeed Sheriff Heerleln,
and the prospect Is that the chief Issue
of the campaign will bo the European
war. The retiring deputy, W. B. Harker,
of Kimball, will endeavor to rally the
anti-German voters of tho county for
the purpose of bringing about the
political downfall of his former chief.
The resignation, which Is perhaps the
most unluue document of Its kind ever
filed In South Dakota. In part follows:
As your deputy I have earnestly and
conscientiously endeavored to discharge
the duties therewith. In accordance with
your policies, and attempted In all my
acts and utterances to maintain a strict
and Impartial neutrality In the present
conflict raging between Germanv. Eng
land and other powers. I feel, however
that as a member of your oflclal Umlly
I ahouid not be held answerable for re
cent utterances of yours which were sadly
detrimental to Englaud and England's
sing. I feel further that as a member of
your official family I must curb mv
tongue In respect to Germany's sub
marine policy which has resulted In the
loss of so many American lives, snd If
I return the commission you Imve hon
ored me with, I cao. as a nrivsia , hi....
express In my own weak way my altitude

aspirations as well as mine ara to In
sure a lasting peace, and for thla we can
both work, though perhaps from differ
ent angles, you aa a trusted mil r.
epected pesce officer nnd I sa a private
citizen. Though our opinions m
ously conflict, we can take consolation
in the fact that our ultimate aims
identical.
It Is feared that as a result of the
break hetwen the two officials the
boasted neutrality of the United States
rrsy receive a severe Jar.

ANSWER OF KAISER
TO BE FAVORABLE
Dispatch from Ambassador Oerard
Causes Feeling of Optimism at
State Department.
, TEXT JS NQT QIVEN 0UT
WASHINGTON.
June 2S. A
favorable reply by Germany to thej
last American note on submarine,
nrfare Is Indicated In today's State
.t pari uieni advices iroin rieriin.
The advices came from Ambassa-
dor Gerard and were notably the first
of a definite nature received since
the American note reached the Oer-1
man foreign office. The exact na-
ture of the ambassador's
message ;
was not divulged snd U did not be
come known whether he revealed any
Indication of the trend of the forth
coming German reply. The ambassa
dor's dispatch was of sufficient de
tail, however, to put officials In an
optimistic attitude. It was commu
nicated at once to Tresldent Wilson
at the summer White House at Cor
n'sh, N. If.
(lerharrt'a Message Fffeetlre.
Ambassndos rrsrard based his observa
tions on the favorable effect which the
visit of Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard,
emissary of Count von Hemstorff, the
German ambassador here, had produced
on officials of the German government.
Dr. Oerhsrd was understood by Am
bassador Gerard to have reported that
I public opinion In the I'nlted ftates hail
been growing more ind more favorable
to Germany, when the sinking of the
Liisltanla undid what bad been accom
plished. Gerhard made 11 clear also that
the I'nlted Statea did not want war, but
wanted a satisfactory reply to Its
representations.
German official are eager, according
to Ambassador Gerard's report, to give
such an answer, but they have made It
clear that Germany cannot make any eon
cessions which would Cestroy the effec
tiveness of the submarine. The German
government. It la understood. Is eeeklnjg
to find some method by which Americans
traveling on ships primarily used for
passenger trafflo shall be safe when the
submarine continues Its activity against
freight ships carrying chiefly contraband.
Wishes to Proteet Amerlraea.
Just what proposal Germany will make
officials here cannot conjecture, but since
Germany seems to be wllllhg to safe
guard the rights of Americans on ships
primarily engaged in passenger trafflo
an adherence to the principles expressed
In the Amerinan not that non-combatants
should be Immune from attack
would seem In the opinion of officials
here to be reconixed.
No Information had been received . on
what the attitude of Germany would be
toward assuming liability for the loss
of American lives on the Lusltanta,. but
the feeling prevails that If a Satisfactory
arrangement can be made as to the
future conduct of submarines towards
vessels carrying Americans, Germany
would suggest a basis for a favorable
adjustment of the Lualtanla rase as well.

details of the plot to restore a Huerta
regime to Mex'co, nipped In. the bud
by the United States, began trickling
out today through the net ot official
secrecy, while Oeneral Huerta and
his chief leutenatit, Pascual Orosco,
are under federal detention at El
Taso.
Other Mexicans, nearly a ecore of
whom had a part in the plot that
failed, and probably some Americans,
are under surveillance by the Depart

of Justice Intends to strt the rase to find
the backers of the new revolution. Where,
the trail might lead In tbe I'nlted States

Is generally believed by those In close
touch with Mexican affairs that the roup

prominent American Interest.

In unofficial circles It was disclosed that
Huerta In supposed secretion In his coun
try place on Long Island, offered his
services to General Iturhlde, one of the
exile colony tn New York and at the same
time sent an emissary to Wechlngton to
ask If he would be persona grata to this
government If he took part in Mexican
affairs.
Iturblde declined Huerta's company and
simultaneously Washington sent word to
the former dictator that he would ba
persona non grata, decidedly so.
Immediately thereafter, the official ad
vices here sar, Huerta renewed his offer
to lturbide, with a modified proposal that
Iturblde accept Huerta's aid without
Huerta's leadership, but with the co
operation of his associates. Thla last
offer, officials here end diplomatics
with. Msxlesn Interest -wliu have been
keeping themselves Informed, say Iturblde
accepted.
In view of this Information, officials
are pussUd to know Just how much, of'
an active part Huerta Intendsd to take'
In a movement on Mexican soU, although
thsy havt, no doubt that at least he in-'
tended to take charge of affalra on the
border.

have been maintaining an active Junta,
In El Faao, In constant communication
with General Huerta and other members j
of the exile colony tn New York and
maintained among themselves the formj
of a provisional government, with a
president and members cf a cabinet. Ad-j

indicated that the Junta was planning'
some definite move.
Secretary Lansing disclosed today that

part men t of Justice. He declined to say,

thoritatively that the United Stales in
