FOUR TEUTONIC ARCHES DRIVE RUSSIANS OUT OF

TERRITORY

VIENNA, June 30. "Within a week all the Russians will be out of Austria." This was the prediction made by Field Marshal Von Hoetzendorf, chief of the general staff of the Austrian army, who arrived at headquarters on Tuesday. Fresh with success, four gigantic armies are driving forward and the impetus of their onrush is serving to push the Russians back all along the line. Just now the fiercest fighting is raging in the great marsh land north of the Dniester river. So enormous has been the number of wounded and so vast has been the demand for ammunition that it has been impossible to transport all the wounded troops and Russians prisoners to the rear and many are still at the front. Thousands of farm houses have been converted into temporary hospitals. Drive Astounds Russians.

The Russian prisoners have spoken I in tones of wonder about the mighty bombardment against their positions by the Austro-German forces. Whole towns have been smashed, forests have been leveled and the earth blasted into deep craters where shattering salvos were turned against the Russian forts. In the north and northeast the forces under Gen. Von Mackensen have driven the Russians back on their own soil and the efforts of the troops in the south are concentrated, to duplicate the feat. The standard of the two Kaisers will soon be flying on Russian soil from the Baltic to the borders of Roumania according to the confident belief of all the officers. Among the rank and file the most peculiar ideas prevail as to the out come of the present drive. Some of I the soldiers believe they will soon be in the Russian capital. "We will sad dle our horses in the Czar's palace," said one Hungarian trooper. The Russian losses which are being in creased heavily every day are believed to be in the neighborhood or hair a million men not counting prisoners SEA TERRORS TORPEDO TWO NEUTRAL SHIPS LONDON. June 30 The Norwegian steamer Cambuskenneth which left Portland, Ore., for Liverpool and Manchester on Feb. 9, was torpedoed and sunk today by a German submarine believed to have been U-39. Thirteen of the crew were landed and eight were reported aboard the submarine. The Gjeso, a Norwegian ship, was sunk by a German submarine today. The crew was landed at North Shields. RAMS DUTCH LINER. DOVER, Eng.. June 30 The Dutch liner Nieuwamsterdam, bound for the held up by the British in the Downs, United States from Rotterdam, but was rammed by another vessel while it anchor early today. The liner, a vessel of 10,830 tons, was badly damaged on the port quarter. Among the several hundred passengers aboard the ship are a number of Americans. A British war vessel is reported to have struck the ship. GIVE UP TRAWLER. GRIMSBY, Eng., June SO The trawler Horatio, missing since March 25, with a crew of 14, is believed to have been sunk by a German submarine. It was given up for lost today. SEIZE SWEDISH SHIP. LONDON, June 30 "The Germans seized the Swedish coasting steamer, Urottning Sophia with passengers and a general cargo in the Baltic and took her to Swinemund," said a Stockholm dispatch to the Morning Post today. CENTERVILLE ALLOWS SHOOTING FIREWORKS Inquiry of Old Trails boosters into Centerville's fireworks and other Fourth of July ordinances, revealed that there is nothing to restrict the extent of celebration next Monday, when the National Old Trails road celebration is held there. "The lid is off in Centerville. You can fire a cannon oin the middle of the streets at any time," Joseph Commons of the board of review and William B.

UNION AGREES TO WORK AGAIN AT OLD SCALE Chicago Carpenters Will Return to Job Providing Employers Consent to Chicago-Made Materials. CHICAGO, June 30 John Metz, president of the local union of carpen ters, 16,000 of whom went out on a strike in April, today announced that the members of the union were willing to work at once under their old scale of wages, 65 cents an hour. The carpenters went on strike because their demand for 70 cents an hour was refused. "The carpenters," said President Metz "will go back to work at the old scale providing employers do not insist upon enforcing the rule that there shall be no discrimination in the use of material. We insist upon this to encourage the use of home made goods. "The matter is now up to the contractors. If they will agree, every carpenter will be back at work within a week." Every building material yard In Chicago will be closed tomorrow night and 500,000 workmen, inside and out of the city, will be forced into idleness as a result unless something unforeseen occurs.

MISS GENEVIEVE CLARK WEDS JAMES THOMSON BOWLING GREEN, Mo., June 30. .time, took her from the convention

Miss Genevieve Clark, daughter of Champ Clark, speaker of the house of representatives, and James Mellhanny Thomson of New Orleans, publisher of the New Orleans Item, were mar ried mis atternoon in the shadow of the large trees on the grounds of the beautiful Clark home. The bride was given away by her father. The Rev. Robert Sherman Boyd, pastor of Lee Memorial church, L'ouisville, Ky., a cousin of Miss Clark, performed the ceremony. Many distinguished guests from Washington, New York and other sec tions ot the country were present, in oHiiinn . , , . .

A geenral invitation had been issued to "all Missourians" to be present, and practically of of Pike county was on hand, including nearly every man, woman and child of Bowling j Green. j As "belle of the nation." Miss Clark'a wedding takes precedence over all other events of the social season just ending. The gowns of the bride and the bridesmaids were simple and in keeping with the out-of-door setting. Miss Clark wore white satin, veiled in illusion, while her maids wore crepe veiled in illusion of wild flower shades The bridesmaids were Miss Anne and Miss busan Bennett of Kansas City, i i Miss Dorothy and Miss Imogene Thom son, sisters of the bridegroom, of Sumf m i t Dninf 7 i T T . - '" V ' T ' i llB ...

Special trains were run from St. Louis yesterday and this morning to bring guests to the wedding, and the roads leading to this town were thick with automobiles and other vehicles bringing happy parties of those who have known and loved the speaker and his family for many years. Police from St. Louis were brought here to guard the wedding gifts, which amount to a small fortune. They will remain on guard until the presents are sent to New Orleans. The acquaintance of the bridal couple is intimately associated strangely enough, with the bitterest disappointment of Miss Clark's life, the defeat of her father in his battle for the presidential nomination at the Baltimore convention. It was Mr. Thompson, brother of her school chum, Imogene Thomson, who consoled her at that

He had heard of her, it is true, as a friend of his sister, but he had considered her a small girl and associated out of his sphere. As a delegate to the convention he was pledged to support Champ Clark. His duties prevented his meeting any of his sister's party until after his candidate, who is now his father-in-law, had been defeated.

ROYAL RESCRIPT CLAIMS CZAR WILL MAKE PEACE ONLY AFTER FOES PALL Muscovites to Draw on Nation's Resources to Fullest Extent To Crush the Military Power of Germany Says Premier Goremykin.

SLAVS RETREAT IN POLAND AND GALICIA PETROGRAD, June 30. Russia will make peace only after her eu emies are crushed. The recent reverses are regarded as only temporary and will result only in Russia drawing more deeply upon her resources to break the German military power. This is shown by a imperial rescript issued today by Premier Go remykin today: "The enemy must be crushed before peace is possible." says the rescript. "With firm faith in the inexhaustible strength of Russia. I anticipate that the government and public institutions and all faithful sons of the fatherland, without distinction as to classes, will work together in harmony to satisfy the needs of our valiant army. "Having decided that the session of the dunia and council of the empire shall be resumed in August at the latest, I rely on the council of ministers to draw up according to my indications the bills made necessary by the length of the war." - Gets New Powder Plant

HALL DOUBTS CROP FORECAST OF W. RATLIFF Claims Wheat Crop in Wayne Normal and Little Damage Done to Cereal by Hessial Flv. Exceptions to the wheat crop forecast of Walter Ratliff, in which he predicted that the crop was 65 per cent of normal, were made today by farmers in several parts of Wayne county. J. C. Hall, residing on the Williamsburg farm, north of this city, said today that he had a 20-acre field of wheat which is rated as one of the best grown in Wayne county in many years. He said there were no Hessian flies or other crop destroyers in this field. Mr. Hall said leading millers of Richmond inspected the field early this week and pronounced It one of the best they had seen in years, and declared hte wheat of No. 1 quality. Mr. Hall said that conferences which he had had with farmers over the county showed that instead of having a yield less than normal the Wayne county crop this year will be a normal one. He based his prediction on reports which had come to him from all sections of the county. "There has been a great exaggeration regarding the presence of Hessian fly in the wheat," he said. "The crop outlook for wheat is excellent, and farmers will harvest a normal output this year. An investigation will show that insects and other destroying factors have done little damage. Wheat I have seen is perfect, and the 20-acre piece on my farm can not be excelled." EVELYN NESBIT THAW IS GALLED TO TESTIFY MALOXE, N. V..
