Desperate Strife Upon Front of

AT THE GATES OF CZEENOWITZ
i
London, June 13. Heavy flghtlni
Is in progress over virtually the en
tire eastern front from the Gulf of
Riga to Bukowlna, a distance of be
tween 600 and 700. miles. From Riga
to the Jasiolda river, northwest of
the Pripet marsh region, the Germane
have taken the offensive against the
Russians, probably in an effort to di
vert the attention of the Russians
who are in the second week of their
drive against the Austrians and Ger
mans from the Pripet marshes south-

Make Fresh Advances.
In southwest Russia, in the region
of Lutsk, fresh advances against the
Austrians are reported by the Rus-

case across the border through east
Galicia. In the southern part of this
region the Russians are nearing
ti ranifal rtf the Aus
trian crownland of Bukowina.
Although the Austrians at numerous
points are vigorously counter-attacking,
the only place the Russians have
been forced to give ground was near
Bobulintze, north of Buczacz, in Ga
licia, where the Austrians were re
inforced by German troops. The Rus
sians captured here by the Teutons
exceeded 1,300. The total of men
taken prisoners by the Russians since
their offensive began has grown to
more than 114,000.
Germans Attack French.

and Fort Tavannes, about three miles
northeast of Verdun.
On the remainder of the front in

A Russian cavalry force of 1,000
men, operating between the Caucasus
and Mesopotamia fronts, has been an
nihilated by the Turks, who also cap
tured a large amount of war ma
terial, according to Constantinople.
On the remainder of the front in
Asiatic Turkey there is no change
in the situation.
The masking of important Bulga

be connected with the closing of the
Bulgar-Rumanian frontier to passen
gers and merchandise traffic, says an
unofficial dispatch from BucnaresL .

States homes of eager wide-awake people, eager to know things for them
selves, eager for larger opportunities, for themselves, for their children
in which the Encyclopaedia Britannica would be welcome.
IBut from $166 to $250 for a single set of books is a nearly prohibitive
price for the great majority of people. And that is what the new Eleventh
Edition of the Britannica, in the Cambridge University issue, costs.
we arranged with the publishers of the Britannica to make for us a new
"Handy Volume" Issue, at a price which would bring it within the reach of
at least a million homes. We could do this only by contracting for an enor
mous prating which brought great economies in tne manuiacture.
Of course, ft had to be the new Eleventh Edition absolutely complete
unabridged by a single line; in brief, the work which had cost a million
and a half of dollars for the editorial preparation alone. a
That It is the new Eleventh Edition line for line the same as the Cambridge
University issue we guarantee absolutely. (See below.)
Bv makinz this huee contract we were enabled to offer the new
issue at one-third the price of the larger-paged volume.
