Tun J. tl fVS'' s RUSSIAN CABINET TO MEET CZAR ON THE BATTLEFIELD Rumors of Peace Overtures by Austria Follow Em- . peror's Call of Council TEUTONS REINFORCED Army Corps From France Ob served on Line Defending Aus-tro-German Volhynia 'Base PRTOOOnAD, July 14. Interest In the progress of the victorious armies was di vided here today with thnt directed toward the conference of tho Council of Ministers nnd Czar Nicholas nt tho Imperial Hold headquarters. This 13 the second tlmo that the Cabinet hns been called to tho front to confer with tho Czar since tho war broko out. nnd It Is recognized that only matters of tho ut most Urgency would lead to such a step. Tho steady Improvement In democratic Affairs makes It evident that the conference relates to tho conduct of tho war, nnd thero were oven reports that tho Government Is preparing to receive penco overtures from exhausted Austria-Hungary. The two battles that dovclopcd nlong tho Btokhod River, In Volhynia, where tho AustrO'Cermnns are fighting to save Kovcl nnd trying to check the ndvanco on Lcm- berg, continue with great Mibbornncss. Intense nrtlllcry duels aro reported from tho Dvina front. LONDON'. July H. Tho Russians, hurl ing men and shells nt tho positions defend ing Kovcl, havo not yet succeeded In forcing a breach In tho line on tho Stokhod. The Teutons havo brought up large reinforce ments from tho western front In tho effort to save tho city, for Its loss means tho re grouping of tho Austrian ami German fronts on a very long line. Two nrmy corps have been brought here from France. "On tho Stokhod, astride tho Kovel-Sarny Railroad," says tho Austrian olllclal state ment Inst night, "wo repulsed Russian attacks." Tho Czar's troops aro pushing' toward Kovcl both from tho east, along tho Kovel Sarny road, nnd from tho southeast, along tho lino that runs to Rovno. v With their front forced forwaid to within striking distance of Kovcl from the south, tho main effort Is now twins -undo along tho Sarny road, along which i-io Russian army can bo munitioned for a further thrust west ward. The furious fighting for tho Stokhod bridgehead Is unabated, I'ctrograd docs not expect nn advnnco until tho Russian guns (havo been brought up. i Meanwhile, along tho lower. Strlpa, In Gnllcia, another fierce battle has developed. German troops nro now lighting here, tho German official bulletin reveals, Theso havo succeeded In an encircling movement, Berlin claims. In driving tho Russians back. Pctrogrnd, however, tells of "energetic counter-attacks" by tho enemy. In which ' 2000 prisoners wero taken. Vienna records Russlnn attacks "with strong forces" around Buczncz nnd admits tho enemy penetrated tho Austrian lino at some points, but de clares ho was repulsed. Tho recovery of the Russian armies slnco their defeats of last year and tho apparent ly Incxhaustlbto supplies of guns und am munition with which they are provided con tinue to bo a sourco of wonder to military writers. At least six great armies aro en gaged ngalnst tho Austrlnns nnd Germans on Russia's western front. All of them nro using great quantities of ammunition, even thoso not definitely on the offensive. Tho capturo of more than 2000 prisoners by tho Russians In despernto lighting to tho west of tho lower Stripa, In Gallcla. Is an nounced by the Russian War Olllco In yes terday's otllclnl statement, which say3: "On tho Dvlna, abovo and below Fried rlchstndt. we havo carried out successful rcconnol8sanccs. "On tho Stokhod thero hns been an nr tlllcry duel. Some squadrons of enemy nlr craft flew behind our lines, dropping bombs and firing machine guns. "In Gnllcla, In the region west of tho lower Strlpa, desperate fighting has. oc curred In many places, the enemy launch ing energetic counter-attacks. Wo took more than 2000 men prisoners and captured a gunand some machine guns." BERLIN. July H. Tho War Olllco gavo out today tho following statement on the situation along tho east front: "On tho Stokhod River lino (In Volhynia) tho forces of General von Llnslngen imulo u counter-attack near Zarcplche, north of tho Kovel-Sarny Railway, which threw back tho Russians advancing in this sector. One hundred and sixty men and two inachlno suns wero captured. "Our aerial squadrons successfully, at tacked' In tho region east of tho Stokhod. "Tho enemy again penetrated our first line yesterday on tho front held by General von Bathmer's troops, but, wero ejected by meansj of a counter-attack and suffered con nldcrahlo lossea." FRANKFOHD HIPS FPU PLANT TJj S. Officials Consider Site for Nitric Acid and Powder Factories Under Defcnso Act of Juno 3 WASHINGTON, July 14. Tho national defense act, approved on June 3, contains the appropriation of $20,000,000 for tho erection of a nitric aald plant, and for preliminary Investigation to ascertain tho best method of manufacture. Tho sundry civil appropriation act. approved July 1, 1916, contains also the following: "Powder factory, for tho establishment of a plant, or the enlargement of any ex isting plant owned by tho Government, for the manufacture of powder on a site owned by tho .Government or to bo procured by purchase or condemnation, or In the dis cretion of tho Secretary of War on any suitable site that may bo tendered without cost to the United States, which ho Is authorized to accept. $500,000." From tho language of this provision, It Is apparent that the War Department Is free to enlarge tho existing powder factory of tho ordnance 'department nt Picattnny, In New Jersey, or to erect a new factory on ui different site, such ns at Frankford. The alte of tha present factory, from tho point of view of manufacture alone. Is satisfac tory, but In the view of members of the Congressional Committee and tho chief of ordnance It Is u question If It would be safe In time of hostilities, because of Its nearness to tho Atlantic seaboard. It is understood that consideration Is being given to the suggestion of erecting the plant at Frankford. BILL OFFERED IN HOUSE 'rn iiivp cm nippc vati?
