Muscovite Armies Deliver Most Ex

Revolution.
MOVE AGAINST FOES
ON THE STRiPA FRONT
They Storm Prussian Positions Along
Line of More Than Eighteen
Miles.
The Foltliers of New Rusia have
resumed the aggressive.
For the first time since the revolu
tion last March, Russian troops have
begun an attack on an extensive scale.
Along a front of eighteen and one
half miles in the region of Brzezany,
Galicia, Russian troops have stormed
the German positions.
Berlin says the Russians suffered
heavy losses and were compelled to re
tire before the German lire. The at
tack was made in the section south
east of Lemberg, where the artillery
Ihing has been heavy recently.
The Russians also made night at
tacks on botn sides of Brzezany and
near Zyzysn, and Berlin reports as
saults between Zlota Lipa and the
Narayuvka. The artillery arm of the
Russian forces has been active and
from the Berlin report it is learned
that an intense duel has been in prog
ress from the region of Brzezany to
as far northward as the Middle Stok
hod in Volhynia, a distance of about
175 miles. Brzezany is one of the
keys to Lemberg, the Galician capital.
Berlin declares that the Russian at
tacks, which it says were powerful,
were brought about through the pres
sure of the leading entente powers.
Field Marshal Haig continues to
tighten his grip on Lens. On the
north bank of the River Souchez,
British troops have ceptured German
positions on a front of half a mile
southwest and west of Lens.
The British army during June cap
tured 8,C8 German prisoners, includ
ing 175 officers and sixty-seven guns,
including two heavy guns, as well as
much other war material.
The French and Germans continue
to battle at various points on the
front from Cerny to the Verdun re
gion. East of Cerny the French have
repulsed German attacks and in the
region of Prunay, east of Rheims a
German surprise attack was thrown
back with heavy losses. On the left
bank of the Mouse the fighting has
brought no change in position.
Russians Are Attacking.
Berlin (Via London), July 1. The
Russian troops in the eastern theater
of the war have opened a heavy at
tack on the Germans along the Stripa
front.
They stormed the German positions
along an eighteen - and - a - half-mile
line, but, according to the official Ger
man report, met with heavy losses
and were forced to retire.
This was the most expensive attack
delivered by the Russians since the
revolution.

TURNS OVER OH EDGE
OF WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS
Many Injured When Hurled Into
River Belt Line Track
Gives Way.
Niagara Falls, N. Y., July 1. A
Belt Line car on the Great Gorge
route left -the rails, plunged down a
twenty foot embankment and turned
over in ten feet of water on the edge
of the whirlpool lapids at 3:80
o'clock this afternoon.
Nine persons are known to be dead,
two persons known to have been on
the car have r.ot been seen since the
accident and probably are dead, a
number estimated at from two to ten
are reported missing and more than
a score are in hospitals, suffering
from injuries received in the accident.
A washout due to recent heavy
rains was the cause of the disaster,
which occurred just below the canti
lever bridge and sixty feet below the
point where the smooth water of the
upper reaches of the Niagara river
break into the turbulent waters of the
whirlpool rapids.
The car had all but completed the
circuit of the gorge, having crossed
from the Canadian side of the river
on the trolley bridge at Lewiston.
There were about sixty pasengers on
board, according to general estimates.
The car was running at a speed of
twenty miles an hour. Less than half
a minute elapsed from the time the
motorman felt the first sway until the
car w.s bottom side up on the edge of
the rushing rapids. As it slipped
down the twenty-foot incline from the
tracks Lo the edge cf the river,
screaming men and women fought to
escape and some of " them were able
to get free, but were unable to obtain
a footing on the steep bank.
Mad Scramble in Water.
There as a mad scramble in the
shallow water between the wrecked
car and the river bank. From the
river side the bodies of at least two
of the passengers were seen to be
caught in the swifter waters and
were carried down to the whirlpool.
Members cf a national guard regi
ment who were on guard at the bridge
saw the accident and were the first
to the rescue. The soldiers slid down
the bank into the river and worked
in water up to their waists getting in
jured passengers free from the wreck
age and passing them up the bank,
where an emergency car had been
placed to carry them to the Niagara
Falls hospital.
The supports of the roof on the
forward part of the car had been
crushed by the impast on the rocks on
the river bottom, throwing the seats
together. This pinioned many of the
passengers below the surface of the
water, and it was in this section of
the car that most of the fatalities oc
curred. FAIR WARN

SOCIALIST PEACE
PARADE AT BOSTON
WAS BROKEN UP
Boston, Mass., July 1. Riotous
scenes attended a socialist parade to
day which was announced as a peace
demonstration. The ranks of the
marchers were broken up by a self
organized squad of uniformed soldiers
and sailors, red flags and banners
socialistic mottoes were trampled on,
and literature and furnishings in the
socialist headquarters in Park square
were thrown into the street and
burned.
Police reserves stopped the rioting
after it had been in progress an hour
and a half. Many arrests .were made.
The police took into custody some
of the participants in hundreds of fist
fights that were waged on the com
mon and in the line of the parade,
while agents of the federal depart
ment of -justice, under direction of
Assistant District Attorney Goldberg,
arrested several persons alleged to
have made unpatriotic speeches. None
of the soldiers and sailors was ar
rested. The procession consisted of hun
dreds of men and women, many of
whom carried babies. Most car tied
small red flags with white emblematic
of the peace demonstration, and there
were large banners bearing inscrip
tions, some of which read: ''Russia
has a six-hour day. Why not Amer
ica?" and "Liberty loan a first mort
gage on labor." A large American
flag was at the head of the procession.
Fifty men in the uniform of naval
reservists, national guardsmen, ma
rines and Canadian "kilties" inter
cepted the procession at the corner of
West and Tremont streets and again
at the corner of Winter and Tremont
streets. In both instances a street
fight resulted. Blows were exchanged
and flags were snatched from the
hands of the marchers, while women
in the line screamed in fright.
The American flag at the head of
the line was seized by the attacking
party and the band, which had been
playing "The Marseillaise," with some
interruptions, was forced to play
"The Star-Spangled Banner," while
cheers were given for the flag. So
cialist headquarters in Park Square
had been destroyed and its contents
destroyed by a bonfire
The peace demonstration was or
ganized at a conference of socialist
branches, labor unions and workmen's
benefit societies of the metropolitan
district, acting under the name of the
workmen's council, in imitation of the
council of workmen and soldiers of
Russia. It was announced that the or
ganization represented 10,000 work-
ingmen and that its program would
include the peace terms of the Rus
sian workmen, no forcible annexa
tions, no punitive indemnities and
free development of all nations.
Speakers announced for the meet
ing on the .Common were James H.
Maurer, president of the Pennsylva
nia Federation of Labor; J. Edward
Morgan, of San Francisco; repre
senting the Mooney defense move
ment, and James O'Neal, state secre
tary of the Socialist party.

Muscovite Forces Maintain Heavy

on Enemy.
All of the troops attached to the
American expeditionary force have
reached France in safety. The trans
fer, one of the largest ever under
taken by the United States army, was
made without the loss or injury of a
single American soldier and without
any cases of serious illness.
Dispatches -filed during the week,
released by the censor, say that the
trip was made on schedule time and
that the American lighters are in
splendid trim.
Heaviest fighting in the west "is in
Verdun sector. Germans made for
midable attacks with picked forces,
recapturing ground on Dead Man's
Hill. Their losses were very great.
They also attacked on the. Aisne.
British made further progress to
ward Lens.
Petrograd, July 1. Renewed activ
ity of the Germans indicated in the
reports from the front in the !at
few days presumably is the result of
a revival of the Russian lighting i-plv-ii
ar.d a joint conviction that a sepa
rate peace is impossible.
The correspondent at Minsk of the
Birzpevioya telegraphs that the Ger
mans who during the period of frater
nization almost completely laid bare
their battle front, are now feverishly
fortifying their trenches and are cre
ating a new defensive line twenty
miles behind the first in preparation
for a retreat.
Fraternization, the correspondent
says, has entirely ceased.
From the Riga front conies a sim
ilar report. The Germans there are
faid to be fortifying their lines and
to have been obliged to ask for rein
forcements.
Copenhagen, July 1. It is reported
from German sources that Field Mar
shal von Hindenburg, chief of general
staff, in a wireless message has again
offered an armistice to Russia. This
time his wish is to suspend hostilities
during the election of delegates to the
Russian constitutional convention.
London, June 30. There are indi
cations of a return of active opera
tions on the Russian front. The Ger
man war office reports that the Rus
sians apparently influenced by pres
sure exerted by their allies, are main
taining a strong fire over the front of
forty miles in eastern Galicia and
that a Russian attack evidently is im
minent. The scene of heaviest fighting on
the western front is now the Verdun
sector. Over the same ground on
which they met with such a serious
check at the hands of the French last
year the Germans are making serious
assaults with picked forces.
For the most part their etforts have
been ratified by the French, but the
Germans succeeded in retaining some
conquered ground on the west slope
of Dead Man's hill.
On the Aisne front also the Ger
mans are on the offensive. They at
tacked last night near Cerny and Cor-
beny, meeting with a devastating
French fire, which all but annihilated
their storming detachments. North
east of Cerny they succeeded in'gain-
ing a salient which had been levelled
by artillery fire.
Whether these operations marked
the resumption of a sustained offens
ive by the Germans is not yet clear.
The official German statement throws
no light on this subject,' merely men
tioning the capture of 500 metres
of trench line east of Hill 304 and of
several French lines south of La Bo-
vil farm on the Aisne front.
Dr. G. II. Gilmore, William Philpot
and daughter of Murray, were here
last evening to attend the Chautauqua
and to visit friends. Miss Helen Hun
ter of this city returned with the
party and will visit at the Philpot
home.
