SLAVS MAKING FINAL STAND Russian Force is Now In the Hills Outside Lemberg ENEMY TAKES PAWA RUSKA When Austro-Germans Drive Czar's Troops From Hills Galician Capital Must Faii—French Make Important Advance In Alsace Reg'on—ltalians Meet With Stronger Resistance But Continue Their Advance. London, June 22. —All dispatches £rc: i Vienna, Prtrograd and Berlin iii dif-.io thai the Austro Germans are' cl< .r.g in on Lemberg from three ! sic and i.i o;m direction there is a ! thr at that an attempt will be made ! to onve.lep the town without attack ing, tutting <■;. th< sole remaining rail wry into Russian Poland. Al! repor s say that the Austro-Ger- j mans ar advancing on Lemberg from | three points. The situation appears to be that the center of General von iClaclcensen's ! army, which is operating under the j eyes of the kaiser, having pursued the Russians through the gap between Lakes Drozdowiecki and Czerlanski drove them out of trenches three miles to the east of that point. This retreat of the Russian center caused the right and left flanks to fall back precipitately until they reached a ridge of hills a few miles to the east of the capital. Here they are making the last stand outside the city, for if they lose the hills Lemberg itself will be absolutely at the mercy of the heavy guns of the Teutons. Rawa Ruska Taken. Berlin, June 22.—A further success in the Austro-German drive at the f Galician capital of Lemberg was an- j nounced by the war office. The state- j ment says that the town of Rawa Ruska, thiity-two miles northwest of Lemberg, lias been captured from th Russians. Emperor William, it was officially announced, was present at the batrio j of Boskid for possession of the CT*L. | dek line. The text of the communica tion follows: "In the region to the northwest ei Shavli and to the west of the upper Dubysa river several Russian attacks, carried out in part by strong force.; resulted In failure. "The armies under General Macken- I sen fighting for Lemberg and Zolkien have captured Rawa Ruska, which is in our hands. To the east of Rawa Ru ;ka the Russians were attacked by- German troops and driven back." Petrograd Says Its Lines Still Hold. Petrograd, June 22. —The Austro German attempt to force away through the Russian lines north and south of Grodek in the battle for L > n berg apparently has not yet been suc cessful. Regarding the approaching crisis in the Galician campaign, the Bourse Gazette says: "If in view of the continued German reinforcements in Gallcia the situa tion forces us to choose between re taining Ltmberg and preserving the freedom of our operations, it is pos sible we shall have to make a senti mental sacrifice and abandon the Galician capital. Malborghetto In Flames- Rome, June 22.—The village erf Mal borghetto, on the railroad to Tarvis which has been under bombardment by the Italians for several days, i_ reported to be in flames. Its capture, which seems imminent, will be am im portant gain for the army which is advancing toward Tarvis with the ob jeet of cutting the railroad there ! which connects Trieste with the- in terior of the empire.

ALL EUROrE NOW CONTENT Great Italian Historian F<ncJs Struggle Fcr Extrarance and Pleasures Is Gone, ar.d He Confidently Believes It Will Noc Return In at Least Two Generations. Tlie European war nas demonstrated that the giving up of many pleasures, necessities and conn arts that modern civilization ins ere. led and established is a much ease.- thing than any of i tkouaiit one year ag >. writes Professor duglieimo i'err. ro in an article on the ivar's effects on future moues of liv ing. Many needs that seemed as imperi ous and tyrannical as a second nature we have discovered are iiuruly own necessary to our being, ami a little shakeup liberates us from them as from dead skin that peels and falls off. Man's nature is much less depend; tit on those things that modern civiliza tion would have us believe. When the danger of a great war was spoken of many said it was not possi ble or would be of exceedingly short duration, not more than a month or two at most, because otherwise there would be a revolution. Every one rea soned in that fashion, and facts have shown that they were all wrong. Europe is all in arms, but in each country there has never been more calm tranquillity. Almost all Europe is eating coarse bread that one year ago country laborers complained of so bit terly when forced to use it. Everybody Now Resigned. Up to one year ago the city streets were never sufficiently lighted, nor were trains ever numerous enough or fast enough. Now the people are still and resigned. So if the European war has filled Europe with horrors, ruin and hate it has also made men more easily con tented. In each nation, far away from the tiring lines, men and women are working with a tranquillity that has not been known for some time, and they no longer complain of destiny, al though that destiny is harder. That furious desire to possess and enjoy that made men impossible to satisfy lias all of a sudden disap peared. The French have learned the virtue of patience, and the Hermans have learnt*i the virtue of sobriety. And who would ever have dared pre diet it? The wor d has changed. How can this most singular of phe nomena be explained? Is it a sort of miracle? Perhaps human nut pro is changed. No: it has rather found it self. Many pc p'.e are to'.ay glad to be freed of many responsibilities and obligations that were forced on them by an opuleni peace—glad to be able to live simply, as they Like, earning less spending less, ., working iess The people have taken all the more readily to this more simp e a; d re poseful life because the change has been universe.L l n.il a year ago lew. Indeed, were the vise ones with enough strength of v ill not to annoy and tor ment themselves with the thought that l>erhai>s they were not enjoying them selves as much as their neighbors.

Some In Which the Perforated Grains Are Three Inches Long. The bigger the gun the bigger the grain of powder. For the rifles the men carry the grains are half as big as a pinhead. For the largest guns they are three inches long and three-quarters of an inch thick. Every grain is per forated lengthwise. Small grains have a single hole, while the largest sizes have seven. These holes regulate in a wonderful way the rapidity with which the pow der will burn. If you light a scrap of paper all round the edge it will burn toward the center and the burning sur face will steadily decrease. If. how ever, you made a hole in the center of the paper and start the conflagration 'here the flame will steadily grow, and the most rapid burning will take place just before the fire has reached the out er edge. This is the exact principle which governs the arrangement of the perforations in big gunpowder. The burning starts along the surface ex posed by the perforations and spreads always faster as the hole is enlarged, burning fastest at the instant it is con sumed. It is not intended that the charge in big guns shall exhaust its force in stantly. says William Atherton Dupuy, writing on "Powder For the World's Guns." The beginning of the explosion starts the projectile on its way. The explosion continues, and as the projec tile gains speed the force behind it. con tinues to push. The powder is burning fastest and pushing hardest at the in stant the projectile reaches the mouth of the gun. At that instant also it burns out and exhausts itself.

CITTA VECCHIA. i Malta's Ancient Capital a Constant Re minder of St. Paul. The place where Publius. the chief man of Malta in St. Paul's day. lived Is thought to be Citta Vecchia. the an cient capital. It lies near the center of the island, about uiidway between Valetta and St. Paul's bay, and is con ; nected with Valetta by a railroad. Here every turn reminds us of St. Paul. The principal square is called Piazza San Paolo, and here we tind a fine cathedral, which is said to be built on the very si!e of the house of Pub lius. Entering the cathedral, we see a great image of St. Paul, covered with a silver cloth, a reminder by contrast perhaps of how litile of that precious metal he was possessed of in his life time. In a nearby suburb of Citta Vecchia is another church dedicated lo St : Paul and named for him. which tin. inhabitants devoutly believe is built over the very grotto in which he lived during his three months on the island, and the catacombs of the grotto are also called after his name. One striking monument to tlie apos tle reminds every passing traveler of this wonderful story. In the bay of St. Paul is a tiny island called Selinun and on this island is a towering statu* of the apostle, which can be seen frou far. a tit emblem of the colossal char acter which in all the ages since ha: so influenced and blessed the world.

For example, "faire , feu" means to tire a gun. while * faire du feu" means to light a lire: "tomber par terre" conveys the idea of falling to the ground from one's own height, whereas "tomber a terre" means to fall from any height—in other words, to tumble down and to tumble off. In the same way "traiter de fat" means to call a man a fop and "traiter en roi" to treat him like a king. like English bore may be expressed in two ways—"BU raseur" gives the idea of an active bore and "une bas sinoire" of a passive bore.

Russians, Who Held Powerful Galician Fortress Seventy Days. Fled Before Hail of Shells From Big Austro-Ger man Guns to Which They Lacked Ammunition to Reply. Three separate sieves of Przemysl, or Peromysl, as the Russians renamed it during their brief occupation. baa uuu'e the great Gaiiciau fortress one of the memorable centers of the war. Xbi probabiy is i;s story yet concluded. It was early hi the war's history that the Russian forces, with little of re sistance before them, tirst swept a ross the tin ician plains ami planted their heavy guns before the stronghoy. The first shots were fired on Sept Hi. and from that date until the present time Przeinysl has been in the front of Important events as much if not more than any other single city. The first Russian attempt against Przemysl was undertaken too hastily. r hot hastily enough. In any event however, their big howitzers had not lKHimled away at the strong fortifica tions for many days before Austrian re-enforcements appeared in great num bers and drove the invaders back. Early in October, however, the Rus sian forces, greatly strengthened and dragging heavy guns in their wake, pressed up to the outskirts of the city and again began, ibis time in deadly earnest, a bombardment of the various forts which formed the great strong hold. Przemysl. Austrians Slowly Starved. The attacking army was variously estimated at from 1.25,000 to 200.000 men. There were probably 150.000 Austrian soldiers within the fortress to defend it. in a few days the city had been sur rounded and entirely cut off from out ward communication, and thus it was held and gradually starved until March 22. when General Ktismnnek, the Aus trian commander, raised the white flag. Several attempts hud been made to relieve the besieged city, but for some reason as yet unexplained the Austrian general staff could not release a force of sufficient strength to drive off the invaders or even to break through the ring of iron. No sooner had the city fallen and yielded its more than 117,000 Austrian soldiers as prisoners than the Russian armies released from the siege rushed south and east to the various Carpa thian passes, bent upon surging across those mountains and into the Hunga rian plains. They advanced to the summit of the mountains and held them until the concerted Austrian and German drive, which rolled them back, began last month. Meantime the Russians were able to restock the forts of Przemysl to some extent and to repair the damage done by their own guns. Rut it is supposed that it was lack of ammunition which eventually forced them to retire. Russians Out Pell Mell. With the Russians beaten back la the Carpathian lighting General Mack ensen at the beginning of May began the drive that sent the Russians reel ing back in West Galicla. Two weeks later he arrived before Przemysl wilt): a great Austro-German army and be gan the actual siege operations. Mackensen's left wing crossed tbn- San and menaced Przemysl from the north. His right wLng pressed north? ward from the south to complete the movement to encircle Przemysl by seia- Ing the Przemysl-Lcmberg railway. In frout of Przemysl the famous 42- centimeters began buttering at the forts guarding the city from the west The fortress was not completely HUP rounded, nor was the railroad seized. The Russians did not stay for that. When they found they could not reply to the terrific hail of steel poured, u|w>u them they made the lest retreat they could back along the railroad toward Romberg and on back beyond that city to their own frontier, rlie Austrians re port. The capture of Przemysl was one of the greut victories of the war. That was achieved by the slow grind of siege, starving out the garrison The re capture is a no loss stirring and impor tant victory. Curiously enough, it was achieved by an exactly op|>osito proc ess from the capture 'Pie assailants just buried themselves uu the fortress and drove the Russians out practically pellmell.
