RUSS STORM
HALICZ, KEY
TO LEMBERG
Von Hindenburg Launches Menacing Offensive on British
Positions in Belgium Where a Great Artillery Battle
Has Been Raging For Twenty-Four Hours; Germans
Hope to Reach French City of Dunkirk
TEUTONS LOSE THIRTY GUNS AND FLEE
BEFORE ADVANCE OF RUSSIAN ARMY
Invaders Reach East Bank of the Yser Near the North
. Sea; Effects of Heavy Gun Fire Prevents English
From Bringing Up Reinforcements; Initial Thrust
Gains 1,400 Yard Front For Kaiser
Petrograd, July 11. According to a telegram receiv
ed from the general staff the pursuit of the enemy in Ga
licia continues. The capture of Halicz, strategic key to
Lemberg, is confirmed, the Russians taking prisoners and
more than thirty guns.
Just as the Russians in the east have torn a big gap in the
Austro-German lines in Galicia capital, the Germans on the west
ern front have started a menacing offensive near the Belgian coast.
This movement, while it may turn out to be nothing but a
local effort or something with which the British can cope after
the shock of the first thrust, has been met, nevertheless indicates
the possibility of a determined attempt to bend back the British
flank on the Belgian coast and reach the French city of Dunkirk
about 17 miles distant.
Lerel Defenses
The Germans succeeded in their
initial push by leveling the defenses
•through an Intense bombardment for
twenty-four hours and then attack- j
lng last evening over the devastated
ground. The bridges across the Tser i
*were destroyed by the heavy fire and j
the sending tip of reinforcements
| was found impossible- Thnu a pene-
ration of 600 yards deep on a front |
of 1.400 yaids was effected, the Ger
mans pushing as far as the east
hank of the Yser near the North Sea.
The attack also extended further
south., opposite Lombaerteyde. but j
here, after having temporarily driven j
in the British advanced line, a conn- 1
terattack forced the Germans back
to their original positions.
First Recent Attempt.
There h*ye been no seriwa* at- i
•tempts by the Germane 1U break ■
through the British front la Belgium
since their two campaign® for Calais
In the early months of the war. The
first was checked along the Belgian
front by the combined British and
Belgian defense, aided by the par
ticipation by the British warships
along the coast. In the swn<l battle
of Ypres, in the fall of 1914, the
(Germans sacrificed thousands of men
in a terrific drive but failed to effect
A penetration.
Reports irom London t-day in
dicate that the battle in Belgium is
in progress. The sounds of heavy
firing, heard In England all day yes
terday, were again heard to-day be
ginning at dawn.
Opens Road to lx>n)lier({
In the sensational campaign which
fhe revolutionary army of Russia is
■waging in Galicia., the capture of
Halicz, important though it is, is only
an incidental feature. Given secure
possession of it, the Russians have
the road to Lemberg well opened up
to them and a continuation of their
attacks on anything like the scale of
the last ten days seems likely to re
sult in the fall of the Galician cap
ital at no distant date.
Russians Advance
In capturing Halicz the Russiahs
took more than thirty gun 3 and nu
merous prisoners. The Russians, ad

Victorious Russian Armies Near Lemberg
Korniloff, Soldier of
Action and Latest War
Hero, Idol of Russia
By Associated Press
I Petrograd, July 11.—Russia lsi
ringing with the name of the latest!
: hero of the war, Lieutenant General'
I L. G. Korlloff, victor of Galicia,l
whose astonishing feat first proved!
| that the new advance is no mere
j flash in the pan. General Korniloff 1
is the most daring, chivalrous and i
scholarly officer In the army. For|
, a romantic rise from humble origin. I
Russia s history has only one par-i
j allel—that of Michel Vassillevitch j
J Lomonosof, fisherman's son, poe>,
1 philosopher, creator of the modern |
Russian language, in the lirst half!
1 ! of the eighteenth century.
From log cabin to general is the
| literal text of the chronicle of Geti- .
• eral Korniloff's career. Born forty- I
six years ago, son of a need-stricken '
; Karalinsk Cossack in Western Si-1
\ beria, who later reared a large fam
| ily on a pittance, gained as the vil-1
lage clerk, young Korniloff early be- I
; gan rough forest work. At the age!
of nine he received his first instruc- j
tion. When barely thirteen he ;>y
II his own exertions and all night stud-
I ies qualified to ehter the Siberian
i cadet corps, largely composed of sons
jof local magnates. Thanks again to
| his own efforts this Indomitable Si
berian pioneer character gained fr*e]
, training at the Michaiiovsk artillery
i school, where his amazing niathu-j
' matical faculties brought approval!
■ : from the authorities, even though he!
, was suspected, with reason, of being '
, a secret revolutionary.
1 ] Made Great Record
Next General Korniloff was an of
| fleer in the guards and being penni
, less he was obliged to serve In Turk
• | estan. In the Japanese war he re
ceived the rank of colonel and was
, entrusted with a desperate mission—'
, that of covering the retreat from
, J Mukden of one of General Kuropat
. ! kin's shattered armies. It was exe-
I cuted with such resolution and skill
| ! he was given the St. George cross.
, j Later he traveled all through Turk-
I estan, the Caucasus and Europe,
, j studying, observing and writing in
, valuable books on Turkestan and the
1 countries of Central Asia.
t ! Amazing to strangers Is his gift
. | for languages, for he speaks not only
| all European, but also Persian, Chi-
I nese and every dialect of Central
r ! Asia. At the outbreak of the great
I | war he was in command of the For
! ty-eighth division, once called Su
, | voroff's, now Korniloff's. In Galicia
1 j in 1915 he repeated the Mukden de
j feat, covering under a month-long
I hail of Austro-German shells where
] in his own force broke through the
-i encircling foe, but he himself was
wounded and taken prisoner by the
j Austrians.
Daring Escape
| The enemy press related that their
! generals were so impressed with
■ General Korniloff's accomplishments
j and noble bearing that the return of
his sword showed greater honor to
Russia's ad -Irable Crlchton than to
their own victorious commander. His
restless spirit did not long stand
captivity. After a daring flight from
an Austrian prison camp and aston
ishing adventures he reached Rus
sia.
At the outbreak of the revolution
he was Invited to command the
troops of Petrograd. implying full
confidence in revolutionary Russia.
When the disorders arose General
Korniloff, fearing the necessity of
repression, resigned, saying he would
sooner shoot the foe than his own
countrymen. He took command of
the Eighth army, whose brilliant ex
ploit is due primarily to him.

NO PEACE ! PROGRAM
Reichstag Members Differ on ]
How War Shall Be
Brought to Close
By Associated I'rcss
Copenhagen, July 11.—The debate
in tho Reichstag main committee
yesterday, according to reports re
ceived here, was opened by Dr.
Gustxv Stresmann, National Liberal,
with a sharp attack on Chancellor
Von Bethmann-Hollweg's policy,
particularly thai or foreign affairs,
which he characterized as being
based on no definite consistent pro-
Rsuii. The Chancellor retorted by
sayir-g he was torced to look to all
sides for support because the Reich
stag offered him no stable majority.
Give him this and he would be able
to develop a consistent program, he
said.
Th* Vossische Zeltung adds that
the Chancellor expressed readiness
and willingness to carry through
necessary internal reforms.
Herr David, Socialist, painted a
picture of the difficult Internal sit
uation In Germany. He declared the
existing dualism between the gov
ernment and the people must cease.
Thereofter the Chancellor again
briefly spoke before the committee
without reaching any decision.
Not For Conquest
Afternoon papers yesterday gen
erally assumed that an agreement
of all parties except Conservatives
and Extreme Socialists had been
reached by a joint declaration to the
Reichstag on peace terms and in
ternal reforms. This, it is said,
would contain a reiteration of the
Chancellor's announcement of Au
gust, 1914, that Germany's purpose
in the war was not conquest but de
fense and independence of terri
torial integrity, expressing a readi
ness to conclude peace on that basis
with a provision rejecting all designs
aiming at an economic boycott and
continuance of International hostil
ity after the war.
The declaration, according to re
port. would also cover the formation
of a coalition ministry with repre
sentatives of all parties and imme
diate reform of the Prussian fran
chise.
Reject Peace Plan
The National Liberals, however,
at a meeting in the evening, reject
ed the peace part of the resolution,
and as the Centre had made their
attitude conditional on National Lib
eral assent, the success of the move-j
ment is threatened. The radicals, on
•he other hand, declined to concur j
In that part of the resolution deal- j
Ing with internal reform if this were
on Condition, as the Nationals wish
ed. of Dr. Bethmann-Hollweg's re- ]
tlre.'jient. The whole matter, there- •
fore, is in doubt again. One positive j
fact elicited by Herr Erzberger's j
declaration, is that ho and other
members of the main committee of!
the Reichstag did not. in the course 1
of attacks on the admiralty and gov
ernment, suggest the abandonment
of the submarine campaign.
All Americans Requested
to Eat One Ounce Less
of Meat Each Day
By Associated Press
Washington. July 11.—To conserve
the nation's meat supply, each per
son in the United States is asked by
the food administration to cut down
by at least one ounce the amount
of meat eaten each day. Recent
studies, it is stated, show that the
average daily per capita consump
tion is nearly one-third of a pound
of beef and one-fifth of i ound of
pork. The adoption of this
will, it is believed, relieve the de
mands of the armies at home and
abroad and also leave a larger sup
ply for the allies.
Scouring Mountains

More than fifty men are search

In P. barn near the town on Monday
night and was reported to have been
seen in the North mountains yester
day afternoon. It is feared the aged
man, is dying from hunger and ex
posure.
No Change in Styles of
Men's Clothing Is Favored
By Associated Press
Chicago, July 11.—Directors of
I the National Association of Retail
i Clothiers, meeting hero last night,
i adopted resolutions favoring reten
! tion of present styles for men for the'

SHREINER GOES
AHEAD ON PARK
IMPROVEMENTS
Follows Governor's Orders in
Paving Way For Capitol
Zone Completion
"The notices to people occupying
buildings in the park extension dis
trict are being sent out to-day and
I am preparing to go right ahead
under the general plan we adopted
some time ago for the improvement
of the extension district," said George
A. Shreiner Superintendent of Pub
lic Grounds and Buildings, to-day.
"There are many things to be done
and to be settled very soon, but we
are going ahead as directed by the
Governor yesterday and before long
the outlines of the park will be ap
parent."
The announcement In the HAR
RISBURG TELEGRAPH last night
that Governor Brumbaugh had said
that he would sign the $3 50,000 ap
propriation for the landscape work
in the park extension was received
with pleasure all over the city. "I
am going to sign It. Tell the peo
ple 1 want to see the work go ahead
as we planned it," said the Gov
ernor.
The Board's action yesterday was
precipitated by the request of the
builders of the Penn-Harrls. Hotel
for right to store material. The
members decided that It would be
better to clear away the whole dis
trict and start landscaping. "The
tract should -be cleared at once,"
said the Governor, and State Treas
urer Kephart and Auditor General
Snyder agreed. Mr. Snyder said,
after the meeting: "We have made
the appropriation for this work and
it might as well be started."
The action of the Board affected
the state more than anyone else, as 't
must move a dozen or more offices
by August 15. The order will have
little effect on the Governor's Troop
as it will be In Federal service in
a week and its temporary armory
and stables for its thirty-two mounts
will be vacated by August 1 any
way.
One of the Hebrew congregations
will move August 5, and arrange
ments are being made by the other
to secure a temporary meeting place.

"There is," said the chief wimpus,
"no telling what they will do in

There seems to be no doubt any
where that ultimately the steam

If the contractors leave the runway

Rent figure that by the time the
shovel has cut away this exit-road it
will be no less than fifteen feet be

the f-hovel weighs 101 tons (accord
ing to Newton) the problem of
brinaring it to the thoroughfare level
is a ponderous one.
FIRE COMPANIES

BEFORE AUG. 15
Citizen to Move in With
Friendship and Mt. Vernon
With Hope
Notices were sent to-day to the
citizen and Mt. Vernon fire compa
nies to vacate their houses which are
in the Capitol Park extension zone.
George A. Shreiner, Stat© Superin
tendent of Public Grounds and
Buildings, sent the notices to all per
sons occupying buildings In the
zone.
City Commissioner Gross, Super
intendent of the Fire and Park De
partments, completed arrangements
a week ago for the transfer of the
companies. The Citizen apparatus
will be stationed at the Friendship
house, in South Third street, and the
Mt. \ ernon aerial ladder truck at
the Hope house, in North Second
street.
In response to a telegram yester
day from the Seagrave Company,
was awarded the contract for
two 7 50-pound triple combination
pumpers for the fire department,
Commissioner Gross instructed the
company to rush work on the pump
er which is to be stationed at the
Mt. Pleasant Company house.
Take Over Pump
The other pump, which was to
have been sent to the Camp Curtin
Company, has been confiscated b>
the United States government for
one of the cantonment camps. The
Seas!rave Company requested the
city to give them a four-month ex
tension to build another pump to re
place the one which was Intended
for Harrisburg. Commissioner Grbss;
said to-day that while the city can
do nothing but grant the request,
he will make every effort to have
the apparatus finished ahead of the
time of the extension.
The telegram which Commission-
Gross received follows:
"Columbus. Ohio. —The United
States government has requested us
to supply our proportion of seven
hundred fifty gallon pumping en
sines, required for the cantonment
camub. Some to be delivered be
tween now and September 1. To
comply with War Department re
quest, it will be necessary for us to
confiscate pumps under construction.

are building for your city to the

four months extension of time with
out penalty in which to complete
your contract. We must answer the

By Associated Press
Philadelphia, July 11.—The ship-]
ments of anthracite coal for June, J
according to reports to the Anthra
cite Bureau of Information, estab
lished a new record, not only for that j
month, but for any month in the
history of the industry, says an an-1
nouncement issued to-day by the,
| bureau. The announcement says: [
"Mine and washery operations .
were both pushed to the limit per- j
mitted by the supply of labor and of 1
railroad cars and they responded by >
a record breaking tonnage of which
the railroad shipments amounted to j
7,044.037 tons, an increase over the
preceding month (which in turn had
been the maximum May record) of ;
131,512 tons. This is the first time!
in the history of anthracite mining!
that the shipments have exceeded ;
7,000,000 tons.
"Compared with June, 1916, the!
shipments last month showed an in- I
crease of 1,412,062 tons, or 25 per!
cent. The largest previous shipments i
were made in March of this year, j
when the quantity sent to market ;
was 6,989,075 tons. Total shipments!
for the first six months of 1917 have j
amounted to 37,667,093 tons, against I
33,421,665 tons in 1916, and 32,328,-!
991 tons in 1915, the increase over
1916 being 4,245,428 tons or 12.7 i
per cent, and over 1915, 5,338,102 ;
tons or 16 per cent.
"This record made in spite of a
pronounced shortage of labor, ex- ;
ceeds the most optimistic anticipa
tion and more than keeps the prom
ise made by the operators to the Fed- j
eral Trade Commission that the pro
duction in 1917 would be Increased !
over 19-16, and that the public re
quirements would be supplied."
