mains still rest in the New Centre-

campments of the different units of
" the Pennsylvania Guard. The Second
Brigade to which Company C. of Som-

the signal troops will encamp at
North Girard from Aug. 5th to 12th.
The camp site is on the bank of
Lake Erie and is said to be the most
inviting camp site, the guard has ev-
er had. Because of business reasons
which will probably take him
away from Somerset, Bert F. Landis
has tendered his resignation as cap-

with the capture of the bridgehead
more ‘than 1,000 prisoners were taken,
adding that “guns were captured in
Czernowitz,” thus supporting the
theory that the garrison escaped. The
Austrian official version of: the bridge-
head’s capture by the Russians says:
‘“Oer tréops occupying Czernowitz
were compelled to retire before the

the Russians forced passage of the

SURE OF EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Warren 'S. Stone Thinks Railroad Men
Will Win Demands.
Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the|
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
head of the national eight-hour move:
the railroad brotherhoods at a New
York hotel, said that he was certain
of winning the eight-hour day for the.
| 400,000 members of the brotherhoods. !
. Mr. Store asserted he was confident
| that strike-breakers could not bring
the men to terms. He was going
West, he said, to obtain information
concerning secret plans and arrange-
ments of the railroads for meeting
any emergency which might arise}
through a national strike. Mr. Stone’s
talk indicated that he believed the
unanimous strike vote which would
be: taken by the end of July would
bring about the eight-hour day.
