FORGES OF CZAR -PURSUE AUSTRIANS TOWARD THE SOUTH

LONDON, June 19.- Austria has admitted the loss of Czernowltz, capital of the crownland of Bukowina, but at the same time declares that the Austrlans are holding the Russians In Volhynia and with the aid of the Germans north of the Turya river, which is an affluent of the Prrpet. The Russian official account makes the interesting revelation that German re-Inforcements already have been brought from the French front to the assistance of the hard .pressed Austrians. , . . .Kovel, while it remains in Austrian hands, is an ideal base for operations against the Russian flank in, Volhynia atd it remains to be seen whether German can afford to bring . enough troops from the Verdun enterprise or the Austrians from - their operations against Italy to save the situation and hold the salient, formed by the resistance they have maintained on their center, while the Russians " thrust In on the two flanks through Lutsk and Czernowltz. What seems clear is that the Rusaian drive must have a tremendous influence in all the theaters ox the war. According to the Lokal Anzelger of Berlin all the seventeen-7ears-old boys in Germany have been ordered to report themselves to the military authorities.

AUTO CRASH HURTS FOUR.

Lansing and Baker.'this afternoon consider .war -with- Mexico inevitable. ' Gen. Carranza is expected to force the issue within the next few days, possibly within .the next . few hours. This government has sent its reply to the Carranza note xA May 22 in which hp demanded the withdrawal of the American pmnitlve expedition.

PREPARE FACTORIES FOR WAR EMERGENCY - - . , . . . 4NEW YORK, June 19. A - nationwide campaign to prepare American factories for war mobilization, begun several weeks ago " by the : United States naval consulting board's committee on industrial preparedness, is proceeding "swiftly" and "satisfactorily," the committee announces. Most of the 100.000 leading industrial concerns of the- country have notified the committee of their mobilization possibilities, and the 30,000 engineers in charge of the field work are sending into the committee's headquarters here hundreds of fUled-in inventory forms, showing the capacity of factories to manufacture war materials. Show Intelligent Patriotism. The response of the manufacturers shows the "most Intelligent patriotism and the deepest interest," the committee says. The committee's headquarters, where the information is kept, are especially guarded and an extensive burglar alarm, system has been put in. Many of the manufacturers at first did not understand, Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the committee, said

today, just how their plants manufacturing products that seemed to have no bearing on modern warfare could

be of use in time of war, but the committee quickly showed them, he said.

how the European war had proved

the close connection between the in

dustries, and also demonstrated that if they failed to find a medium, in case of war, their employes would be drafted to other plants. They also

made plain, he said, "the necessity for having the least possible shock to

economic and labor conditions on the advent of war and the advantage.

I therefore, of having the greatest num

her of plants kept at work."

LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 19. Benjamin Meyer is lying at the point of death in a hospital here and his wife and three children are suffering from serious injuries sustained when the automobile in which they were riding plunged over a 45-foot embankment near here.

SPANISH WAR DAYS ARE RECALLED BY MILITIA'S ACTIVITY

WASHINGTON, June 19. Not since the Spanish war has the nation seen such military activity as today. More than 100,000 national guardsmen in forty-five states were under orders to mobilize for Mexican service. They constitute virtually the entire militia strength of the United States. President Wilson, through Secretary Baker, issued the orders late yesterday to the governors of the states when it became apparent that the threatening conditions in northern Mexico were not improving. Only drilling and recruiting will be in order among militia organizations for the present. All must be mustered into federal service. Later they will be sent to the border for patrol duty, releasing about 30,000 - regulars for service in Mexico if war actually develops. The governors of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona did not receive the order, because the guardsmen of these states are already doing patrol duty on the border. Additional warships also were getting ready today to hurry squth and stand by Mexican ports to protect Americans. Secretary Daniels, after the militia order was issued, ordered seven destroyers and nine other vessels to join the American warships already in Mexican waters. No offensive attack on Mexico is contemplated. President Wilson only wishes stronger forces to defend the border against bandit raids, and to be prepared should Carranza troops carry out threats to strike at American forces engaged in chasing bandits south of the border. With about 100,000 militiamen under mobilization and about 50,000 troops already at the border, the United States reply to General Carranza's last note demanding withdrawal of American troops is ready to go forward. It announces a refusal to withdraw until Mexico curbs its own bandits and it is emphatic.

URGE MEXICANS TO

ENLIST IN ARMY

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mexico, June 19. Fevered efforts to bring every unit of the Carranza army of the north to the greatest possible strength for service in the event of hostilities with the United States, are being pushed forward here. A message from General Obregon, Mexican minister of war, directed Genera .Jacinto Trevino, commanding the northern division to urge patriotic citizens to volunteer that they may be available "to fight the American army in case of a runture of rela

tions," and to "prevent the further raiding of American tprrftorv hv arm.

ed bandits.

The text of the messaee Is n fol

lows: - "The government is convinced that the greater part of its citizens are desirous of enlisting in the army, so

mat in case or an international war they can defend with arms in hand the integrity of our sovereignty. Further, since in the . northern . states, and especially In the border territory, there are being organized bodies of men to be ready to fight the American army in case of a rupture of relations, and

with the object of preventing the fur-

mer raiding or American territory by armed bandits who seek to increase the present grave difficulties of the general situation, all patriots should rally to the national standard.
