PUZZLING ENGLAND
GERMAN DRIVE THROUGH RUS
SIA BECOMING SERIOUS.
2.000,000 ‘ ON
England Places Faith in Russia’s Mu
nitions Campaign—Victory Over
Turks Reported.
London.—The northward drive of
(lie Austro-Gernian armies from Ga
licia into Poland is daily becoming
more formidable and England is puz
zled as to whether they propose to
make their main effort in this direc
tion instead of maintaining a con
centrated offensive to the eastward
force the Russians out of the
southeast tip of Galicia.
Whatever the ultimate object is the
fighting along the Gnila Lipa river
has not abated, and a Berlin official
communication not only records pro
gress in this section, but further
north In the arc around Lemberg, as
well as along what has now become
the northern front, between the Vis
tula and Bug rivers.
The Austro-German forces on this
front are estimated at 2,000,000 men,
and their progress has been rapid.
They have crossed the forest fringing
the Tanew river and are not far from
the Zamosc fortress, twenty-five miles
north of the Galician frontier.
Only 100 miles to the north is the
great Russian base, Brest-Litovsk,
linked with Warsaw by important
railways and lying almost due east
of the Polish capital.
The development of the Galician
campaign has reached a situation en
tirely unexpected by the allies. A
few months ago the Russians were at
the Carpathian passes, and during the
spring months there were confident
predictions both in England and
France that Hungary would soon be
overrun. The British press has been
optimistic for weeks that the Rus
sians would turn and make a stand,
but it now frankly concedes that the
new invasion of Russia is serious.
The papers, however, place faith in
Russia's munition campaign, much,
tlie same as the British public is re
lying upon David Lloyd George's plan
to so equip the British army in
France as ultimately to match the
Germans in explosives and munitions,
especially machine guns.
The Arras section maintains its
reputation as the storm center of the
western front, but despite the fact
that the losses are piling up daily
neither side has been able to deliver
i decisive blow.
a cnspatcn irom Atnens says mat
the allies have taken the Turkish
stronghold of Krithia, on the Gallipoli
peninsula, to the western edge of
which General Ian Hamilton’s report
rarried his forces recently, but there
is no confirmation. Gratification over
the British progress in Gallipoli is
hardly more pronounced than the
realization of the tremendous task
which faces England and France in
their attempt to clear the Turks from
their natural defenses barring the
way to Constantinople.
The first stroke against British na
val craft in home waters for some
time is announced briefly by the ad
miralty, which says that fifteen men
have been lost by the mining or tor
pedoing of the destroyer Lightning,
an old craft laid down two decades
ago.
Bulgaria, which both sides are us
ing every effort to bring into the con
flict, has notified its reservists in
England to be ready to join the col
ors, but the Bulgarian officials here
say that this is a purely perfunctory
procedure.
Many South Dakota Towns Go Dry.
Aberdeen, S. D.—At 9 o’clock June
30, curfew sounded the death knell
to saloons in five of the larger cities
of South Dakota and many smaller
towns.
Aberdeen is the largest of these
cities, and while the liquor element
is still clinging to a slender thread
of a reversal of Judge Bouck’s "dry”
order by the supreme court, all have
reduced their stocks preparatory to
moving.
Jamestown, thirteen miles east of
here, is the only wet town in this lo
cality. Among the other large cities
and towns in the state to go dry are
Mitchell, Rapid City. Madison. Mil
bank. Sisseton, Webster, Platte,
Plankington, Murdo, Leola, Kimball,
parretson, Farmer, Custer and Bris
tol.

London.—The British steamer Scot
tish Monard, bound from New York

submarine.
Submarine H-3 On Rocks.
San Francisco.—United States sub
marine H-3 wedged between two
rocks off Point Sur, 150 miles south
of here, is in no Immediate danger.
The monitor Cheyenne, submarine
tender, reported she would need no
assistance to save H-3.
Attempt to Invade Slaton Home.
Atlanta. Ga.—The Fulton county
grand Jury returned indictments
charging riot against the twenty-six
men arrested by the militia in the
vicinity of Gov. Slaton’s home.
Diaz in New York.
New York—General Felix Diaz, who
is stopping at a local hotel, declared
that he believed the story of his re
ported arrival in El Paso was given
out by his enemies. General Diaz said
that he had no present intention of
going to HI Paso.
German Crop Outlook Good.
Berlin.—Rains after a long period
of dryness have considerably ad
vanced crop conditions throughout
Germany and the outfcok for a good
harvest Is very bright.

STATE WILL BUY
CAROF SALMON
NEWS OF THE STATE HOUSE
Items cf General Interest Gathered
From Reliable Sources at
State House.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
The board of control has decided to
purchase a carload of whole salmon,
barreled in brine, for the use of state
institutions during next winter and
spring. It will place the order for fall
del.very. The carload will probably be
shipped to Lincoln, and redistributed
from there to the various institutions.
A trial was made last winer by pur
chasing a few barrels of the salmon
for the insane hospitals at Lincoln and
Hastings. The fish can be freshened
and then baked, broiled or fried. It
proved to be a popular feature of the
bin of fare at both places.
A quantity of canned salmon for the
institutions has just been bought by
the board of control for immediate use.
Two kinds were offered, one being the
"Alaska red” and the other a medium
red. The board chose the former at
J1.4S per dozen large-sized cans, as
against $1.21 for the other variety.
Workmen's Compensation Law
Two rulings have been made by
Labor Commissioner Coffey on ques
tions propounded to his department by
the Demster Mill company of Beat
rice. which involved interpretations of
provisions in the Nebraska workmen's
compensation law. Mr. Coffey holds:
1. —That where the law says com
pensation shall begin on the fifteenth
day after injury, it means the fifteenth
calendar day and does not permit
Sunday or any other days to be de
ducted in computing the time.
2. —That the employer, by himself
. is not entitled to choose the physi
cian who shall attend the injured em
ploye, but if he be dissatisfied with
the physician who attends the case he
may. at his own expense, employ an
other physician to make an examina
tion for the purpose of ascertaining
the extent of the injuries.
In case an employe should refuse to
submit to an examination, he cannot
claim compensation, says Mr. Coffey.
The law specifies that the employer
shall be liable for reasonable medical
and hospital services and medicines
fcr the first twenty-one days after the
injury, in an amount not exceeding
$200.
Wants State to Make Them
C. W. Pool, secretary of state, has
submitted to the board of control a
plan for the establishment of a new
industry at the penitentiary. He is of
the opinion that the state could make
a big profit manufacturing automobile
numbers. At present the numbers are
purchased from an eastern firm at 8^
cents each. This year, the first under
the new registration law, Mr. Pool will
buy about 50.000 numbers. Next year
about 70.000. exclusive of motorcycle
numbers, will be needed, inasmuch as
this year many secured numbers under
the old law before the new went into
effect. The industry will not conflict
with any private enterprise within the
state. Moreover, it would not require
extensive machinery.
Should Be Registered.
An opinion prepared by Assistant
Attorney General Roe modifies an
opinion written by a former attorney
general holding that camphor, glycer
ine. and similar substances could be
sold only by registered pharmacists.
The opinion was asked for by a mem
ber of the state board of pharmacy.
As to formaldehyde, which is said to
be a poison, but used as a germicide
and disinfectant, the attorney gener
al's department says if it is of such
potency as a poison that it should evi
dently be classed with poisons as de
fined by the statutes, it should be reg
istered and labeled as a poison, and
sold only by registered pharmacists.
State Superintendent Thomas is con
fident he will have 100 new consoli
dated or union schools organized be
fore the end of his first year. School
districts throughout the state are dis
cussing consolidation and the state su
perintendent is urging consolidation
wherever he believes it will bring
about better rural schools.
Probably the largest amount of
money ever taken in at any one time
by the state treasurer of Nebraska
will come into Treasurer Hall's hands
July 1. when the state of Idaho pays
over $330,500. with accrued interest,
on a part of its bonds which were pur
chased ten years ago as an investment
for the educational trust funds of Ne
braska.
At the same time these bonds are
redeemed. Treasurer Hall will collect
approximately $100 000 from semi-an
nual coupons on other bonds owned by
the state of Nebraska. Most of these
bonds are county, municipal, school
district, precinct and other local se
curities of this state.
Night camps in the open, and cross
country horseback trips form a part
of the six weeks' course in field geo
logy offered this summer by the state
university. Prof. Schramm will lead
a party of five students through the
Nebraska Bad Lands region, and the
Black Hills in South Dakota. Hot
Springs and Custer will be visited,
with Deadwood the final objective of
the students.
The state of Nebraska has appealed
to the supreme court from a decision
of the Adams county district court
recognizing Louis Keller as the heir
to the estate of Henry Keller, who
died in Hastings some time ago, leav
ing property worth $S.000. Louis
claims to be a brother of the latter.
The state tried to intervene and es
tablish its right to the property, un
der the law of escheats, but was
twice refused permission to do so;
hence the appeal
