TEUTONS DRIVE
OVER DNIESTER
Confirmed from TKt One
an abandonment of the Gallela offensive
In favor of a glgnhtlc drive on the French
capital. In the streets, In the shops,
everywhere that people gathered to talk
of the victory over the Russians, was
voiced the belief that the Osllclsn army
hosts should be hurried from their scene
of triumph In the East ana nurjea
against the French and British lines In
northern France.
ntivlnn.lv nn hint has come from the
War Office regarding what Is to follow
the fall of Lemberg. But well-informed
military men hero today doubted that
Mackenson's armies would be seen In
action along tho Franco.Flahders line In
the near future.
Tho general belief Is that Germany will
send reinforcements Into the RusMan
Baltic provinces and renew the drives
upon Riga and Warsaw, Tho Kaiser is
said to be determined to deal the Czar's
armies a blow from which they cannot
well recover, before starting n freeh of
fensive against the French.
In official circles It was declared today
that the Importance of the Austro-Oer-man
victories In Oallcla cannot be over
estimated. It was pointed out that since
Mackenson began ids forward movement
on May 1 he has retaken more territory
than Is included In the Now England
States of America. Ho has virtually
cleared Gallcla of enemy troops and has
recovered a territory rich In copper, zinc
and oil. Minors nlready are en route to
Gflllcla to reopen tho abandoned shaftB

CZAR AT FRONT; RUSSIA
ADMITS LEMBERG REVERSES
Victory More Political Thnn Military,
Is Contention.
LONDON, Juno 24.
Hmperor Nicholas left for the front yes
terday, according to Renter's Potrograd
correspondent.
A Russian official communication re
ceived hero confirms the statomont of
tho Amtrlans nnd Germans that tho
Russians on June 22 evneuated Lemborg
and continued to retreat on a now front.
When tho last word Is said, however,
the reenpturo of Lemberg Is regarded ns
more of a political and sentimental than a
military victory. The Austrian army, for
months the butt of Jokos, has, with tho
assistance of vast German forces, re
claimed almost entirely a great province
they believed In September was Irretriev
ably lost. The reoccupatlon of the cap
ital Is certain to have for reaching moral
effect In tho central empires, yet tho
Russian army has been defeated only,
not destroyed. And mllltnry writers say
that in this wnr It will bo tho Sedans,
not tho Waterloos, that will win.
General von Boehm-Krmom when ho
entered the capital found the Russians
had evacuated It In good order. They
had taken with them their stores, their
guns, their Government archives for
they had established a permanent gov
ernment in tho city and renamed It
Iivov.
Austrian correspondents pay a tribute
to Grand Dulto Nicholas for tho masterly
manner In which he directed tho retire
ment of his forces. As at Przemysl,
everything of military value had pre
ceded tho army toward the frontier. Dur
ing tho last two days of the struggle rear
guards only held tho Germanic allies In
chock. In the meantime tho main army
was falling back behind tho Bug River,
where It Is expected to mako its next
stand before It retreats finally across the
border, less than 30 miles nway.
Whether tho fall of Lemberg meana
that tho Russian army operating south
of It In southeast Gallcla Is effectively
cut oft from the army to tho north,
stretching across Poland to tho Baltic,
cannot yet be said. The newspapers of
both Vienna and Berlin say. this Is tho
cne, and that the Russian arms hdvo re
ceived a blow from which they cannot
recover.
GERMANS BOMBARD ARRAS
IN ATTEMPT TO HALT FRENCH
Nuns Killed When Teuton Shells Hit
Hospital.
PARIS, June 21.
In an attempt to halt tho French of
fensive about Arras, tho Germans have
opened a heavy bombardmont of that

munique Issued hero this afternoon, wre
some nuns who were killed when shells

In no previous war have there been
such unparalleled devotion to tho cause

Tho Sisters who were klllod by the Ger
man shells directed at Arras are only a
few of the number who have perished,
but at every opportunity they are at tho

ities will permit.
Tho text of tho communique follows:
"In the region to the north of Arras
the night was comparatively calm, ex
cept to the north of Souchei, where the
cannonade showed no cessation.
"The enemy bombarded Arras. Tho
ambulance of St. Sacrament was hit.
"Shells tumbled several buildings in
ruins. The French gunners replied and
the artillery duel lasted for several hours.
All along the battle front, from Arras
to a point north of Souchez, the most
violent cannonading has been going on
since early yesterday.
Tho official communique this afternoon
reported an unsuccessful attempt by the
enemy to drive In the French line near
Domplerre. The Germans first exploded
a mine under u section of French trenches
and then shelled the adjacent earthworks.
French artillery sprayed the ground be
fore the trenches with a deadly fire. The
Germans attacked In considerable force,
but were easily repulsed.
"In the heights of the Meuse, at Ca
lonne trench, the situation Is unchanged.
AVe are maintaining our position in part
of the. second German line.
'In Lorraine, near Leltnry, the enemy
mado a counter-attack. After a very
sharp conflict, he was repulsed. On the
rest of the front the night was quiet.
The number of prisoners taken slnoe
June li in the region of the Frecht River,
in Alsace, was increased to X officers, 13
subalterns and 6S8 men,"

Tho financial report shows a surplus for

Ho expressed the opinion that this ha
