by Are from our main parapet.
"Prisoners Btata three freflh battalions

Gounaris Ready to Defy
Will of Hellenic Nation,
Refusing to Yield Power
to Venizelos Despite De
feat at Polls.
THE WEATHER
LONDON, July 6.
Tho Greek Cabinet, under Premier Gou
naris, Is apparently ready to defy popu
lar opinion as expressed In the recent
election, tho returns of which mado It
evident that a vast majority of tho
nation Is In favor of Intervention on the
sldo of the Allies.
Tho Athens correspondent of the Dally
Telegraph sends a dispatch that the
Cabinet has announced that It has no
Intention of resigning, although the Veni
zelos party won tho election with a clear
majority of ISO In tho Chamber of Depu
ties. Instead tho Government is making
every endeavor to win over tho Venizelos
Deputies.
The Gounaris Ministry, which Is avow
edly against any participation by Greece
In the war, has the backing of King
Constantino and the Queen, sister of the
Kaiser. Ajalnst the Ministry Is Eleu
therios Venizelos, tho Creton lawyer, the
most popular man In Greece, who re
signed tho Premiership because of a clash
with King Constnntlne. Ho Is openly
for Intervention In order that Greece may
co-operato In tho settlement of the Turk
ish situation when the wnr Is ended.
Venizelos has not only the backing of
the Greeks at home, but tho Greeks all
over the world, particularly In America.
When the convocation of tho Chamber
was postponed from Juno to tho first
week of July and later to July 21 many
Greeks sent telegrams to the King and to
Venizelos. Some of those to the King
wero very radical.
BERLIN, July 6. Rudolf Itothelt, editor
of the Vosstscho Zeltung, who Is touring
the Balkans, telegraphs from Bucharest,
Rumania, that, although the Rumanian
war party admits that calculations re
garding the defeat of the Central Powers
by the entente Allies have been Inac
curate, the Rumanians are not jet con
vinced that the Russian bolt Is shot and
still oxpect Russia's reserve men Anally
to turn the scale.
Uerr Rothclt says that the Rumanian
Government Is endeavoring to avoid com
mitting Itself on either side and to keep
the door open for a later arrangement
with the most opportune party. He adds
that It Is highly Improbable that the
Rumanian Goneral Staff -will permit, In
the meantime, tho army to match against
Transylvania.

LONDON, July 6.
The Russians are making a desperate
stand between the Rivers Pruth and
Dniester. Grand Duke Nicholas, com-mandcr-ln-chlef
of tho Russian forces, re
ports that the fighting In southern Poland
la of the most desperate character, while
Vienna admits that tho Russians are at
tacking In strong force. Austro-German
sources, however, declare this effort to be
a forlorn hope.
Genoral von Llnslngen's Teutonic army,
after a fortnight of terrific struggles, la
reported by both Vienna and Berlin to
have reached the whole front of thn
Zlota Llpa River, In eastern GallclA.
Following Is the Austrian olTlclal war
statement that was given out last night:
"In eastern Gallcla the Teutonic allied
troops under General von Llnslngen,
after two weeks of successful battles,
have reached tho Zlota Llpa River, tho
western bank of which has been cleared
of the enemy. In the Bectors of Kamlonka
Strumllowa and Krasno battles against
the Russian rearguards are continuing.
"Near Krylow ton the Ilucr niver. in
southern Russian Poland, near tho
Gallclnn border, tho enemy has evacu
ated ths western bank of the Bug and
burned the village of Krylow.
Fighting Is proceeding on both banks
of tho Upper Wlepns.
The Teutonic nllled troops drove the
enemy from positions north of the small
River For and advanced to Fnraa and
Plonka.
The western army, commanded by
Archduke Joseph Ferdinand, after sev
eral days' battle, broke thrnnph h n.
slan front on both sides of Krasnlk and
drove the Russians back with heavy
losses In a northerly direction. We cap
tured 28 omcers and 8000 men nnd took
six caissons ana six machine guns,
AVest of the Vistula River the sit
is uncnangea.
PETROQRAD, July 6. The Russian
waiting game has been Justified. They
hnvo evaded a general engagement while
conditions wero unfavorable, and mean
while weakened the Teutons and given
tho Allies time to strike hard.
Tho military critic of tho Novoo Vremya
correctly explains the withdrawal on the
Bug and Dniester fronts as a maneuver
deliberately undertaken with tho object of
accepting battle under conditions best cal
culated to Insure Russian success.
On the Vistula front tho ground which
offers Russians the greatest advantages
Is that with Brest-Lltowsk ad a base,
with Ivangorod on tho right bank nnd
a strong army occupying flank and rear
positions In relation to the right flank
of the army of General Rohm Ermolll
The Russian steady movement north
ward from Zamos and southward from
Grublcszow compels tho Teutons to ex
pend ever Increasing forces on lengthen
ing their line of communications, thereby
weakening the main body nt the moment
of decisive encounter. On tho other hand
It is equally Important for the Germans
to expcdlto a general engagement.
RUSSIANS TORN ABANDONED
TERRITORY INTO DESERT
Armies Lay Waste Region Occupied
by Germans.
LONDON, July 6.
All Southern Russia between the
Vistula and the Bug Is being turned Into
a desert before tho German ndvance,
says the Petrograd correspondent of the
Morning Post. The Russians, retreating
before the armies of Marshal van Mack
ensen nnd the Archduke Ferdinand, are
systematically aiding the escape of the
country people and then laying waste the
land behind them.
"Russia's allies In the West may count
safely on the great bulk of Germany's
forces continuing to be detained on the
Russian front for probably several
monthB to come," writes the corre
spondent. "At present the Germans have
straightened out their lino and once more
are advancing northward. The line Is
more than 150 miles In length, from tho
Bug to a day's march west of the
Vistula."

PETROGRAD. July 6.
General von Mackensen's march toward
Cholm and tho operations of Archduke
Joseph between the Vistula and the Dug
aro being greatly Impeded by the suc
cessful defensive tactics adopted by the
Russians.
The country Is cut up by many river
courses and hilly ridges nnd Is remote
from railways and modern communica
tion. The Gerrnans are losing heavily
every day.
A giant Russian aeroplane of the
Mouromets type flew along the River San,
and threw three and then seven bombs
on the German trains, setting them afire.
One train filled with artillery shells
was exploded, 30,000 shells were de
stroyed, many men were killed and a
long stretch of the railway was ren
dered useless.
Lieutenant Baske, who commanded
the operations, declares the marksman

ROME, July 6.
Unofficial reports of tha Italian mili
tary operations for tho last few days
tell of tho steady advance of the Italian
troops. Detachments have even reached
Gorlzla, penetrated tho town nnd retired
with slight loss.
The Italians have effected n. further
crossing of the Isonzo. A great artil
lery duel In the Val d'Astlco, near Lake
Gards. The Italians are near Mori In
force and details of Berslgllerl hove en
tered that town.
The BtaUment of the War OtTlce to
night says an Italian dirigible last night
bombarded and greatly damaged the
arsenal nnd munitions factory nt Trieste,
returning safoly.
There Is no doubt that small cavalry
patrols have actually entered Gorlzla sev
eral times during tho last ten days.
There Is also good authority for tho
statement that they have effected a fur
ther crossing of the Isonzo River beforo
tho city. Their guns are now In posi
tion on Mount Javosck, about two and
one-half miles from Plezzo.
Tho great lino of fortresses from Lake
Garda to Cadoro, which makes that re
gion a second Dardanelles, Is now en
gaged in artillery combats. Tho maxi
mum Intensity of flro Is In the neighbor
hood of Val d'Astlco, which Is full of
guns. A particularly violent duel Is tak
ing place between Fort Belvedere and
Campo Follon. Neither side has yet obr
talned a definite advantage. The duel has
been going on for a full fortnight
On tho way from Ala to Mori tho
Italians have passed a little beyohd Ser
ravale, which Is about two and one-half
miles from Mori, tho capture of which
would sever tho only railroad communica
tion between Roveroto and Rlva.
Tho Alplnl platoon actually penetrated
Mori from Brentonlco, It Is said. As was
usual In this district, where the defenses
of a town ore In the surrounding moun
tains, the Alplnl found no Austrian sol
diers In the place. Thy went through
the streets at the double, a sublieutenant
at their head waving his sword and
shouting:
"People of Mori ry 'Long live Italy!' "
The astonished and delighted Inhabi
tants opened their shutters and watched
tho men, who rested awhile In the chief
square. Thert the Italians marched out
of tho town. As they debouched from
the lines or houses the forts of San
Marco and San Antlno opened on them
with shrapnel. Tho platoon quickly
opened In extended order and dispersed.
All escaped.
Tho following official statement was
Issued tonight at the headquarters of
tho Italian General Staff:
"In tho region of tho Tyrol. Trentlno
and Carnla there has been a continuance
of artillery actions, supported by small
Italian detachments pushing toward tho
front. The Hensel fort was reached a
number of times yesterday.
"Supported by continuous artillery fire,
the enemy attempted to retake last night
trenches on the northern slope of Val
Grande, occupied by our Alpine troops
