A GENERAL SURVEY OF
THE WAR
‘While the. entente armies in north-
ern France and the Austro-Italian
war theater are keeping up their
heavy blows on the lines of their Teu-
tonic foe, the latter is -continuing to
counter heavily by delivering crush-
ing strokes on the Transylvanian
front.
The Rumanians are being forced
back in northeastern Transylvania, as
w 11 as along the Rumanian border in
Hermannstadt and Kronstadt regions,
&ccording to the current war office
reports.
Italian gains in the fighting on the '
where General Cadorna |
Carso front,
is pushing toward Triest, are admit-
ted by Vienna, which mentions prog-
ress for, the Italians east of Oppac- |
chiasella and their capture of the town
of Novasvas. Elsewhere, however,
they are declared to have failed in
their attempts to advance and to have
lost a total of 2,700 prisoners in re-
oent engagements.
An air raid carried out by fort,
French and British machines on the
Mauser works at Oberndorf, Germany,
during which four tons of explosives
were dropped and six German ma-
chines shot down as they attempted
to defend the works, is announced by
Paris.
Progress for the British on the
Somme front was announced in an
official statement. The British ad-
vances were scored between Gueude-
court and Lesbouefs and northwest of
Gueudecourt. Some 160 Germans were
made prisoners.
Some activity has developed on the
northern front in Russia, which has
been quiescent for some time. The
Germans attacked and captured a Ru -
sian trench. section on the Shara .
river, near Goldevitchi, but accordinz
to Petrograd were shortly afterward
drivem out with heavy losses. No
heavy fighting is reported in either
Volhynia or Galicia in the Russian of-
ficial bulletin.
East of the Struma river, in Mace-
denia, the British apparently are
thaking ready for a further effort
against the Bulgarian positions. Their |
patrols have been pushed out and
their armored cars have been ruc-
cessfully employed for recnnnoitering,
according to J.ondon. The Bulgarians
were found to be holding the Seres-
Demir-Hissar railroad in strength.
The entente allies have formally
recognized the provisional government
of Greece in the Island of Crete set
up by former Premier Venizelos.
SHIPS TO CARRY BIG GUNS
America’s Newest Vessels te Be Armed
With 12 16-lnch Guns Each.
Naval officials anticipate that battie-
ships authorized next year will be built
to carry main batteries of twelve 16-
inch rifles, as against the eight 16-inch
guns to be put on ships for which bids
will be opened Oct. 25. Members of
the general board, which is consider-
ing characteristics for the next battle
craft to be designed, are said to be in
favor of radically increasing the size
in order that the 50 per cent increase
in gun power may be attained.
To carry twelve 16-inch rifles it has
been roughly estimated the ships
would require a displacement of prob-
ably 38,000 tons, as against the 32,000
tennage of the four ships to be laid
down next year.
The general board favored four 36,
000-ton vessels, carrying ten 16-inch
guns each, for the coming year. :- The
decision of the department to make
them 32,000 tons, with eight guns
each, it is said, came of the desire to
hasten construction by reproducing
ships of the” California and Tennes-
see type, now building at the Mare
Island and New York navy yards.
Fairmont Wants Coal Miners.
Thousands of miners are wanted in
the Fairmont (W. Va.) coal fields. The
past few months has seen such an ip-
crease in the soft coal trade that the
mines are not able to keep up with
orders. Attractive offers from other
lines of employment have helped to
drain the mines of men, until now
there is not a mine in the section
that is not running short-handed.

J. S. FRELINGHUYSEN,
MAIL SEARCH LEGAL--ALLIES
Claim Made Information In Letter
May Be Useful to Enemy.
In reply to American protests against
interference with neutral mails, the
allied government reiterate their right
to intercept and search all genuine
mail found on neutral vessels on the
high seas or in allied ports, but they
promise to remedy “any faults,
abuses or serious mistakes” in cen-
socrship that may be brought to their
attention.
They declare unjustified by facts
the American charge that illegal juris.
diction has been gained by diversion
of neutral ships from the high seas
into the territorial waters of the al-
lies. The next move of the American
government hag not been determined.
The note, transmitted jointly by the
British and French governments, was
delivered to the state department by
the embassies last Thursday. It makes
reply to Secretary Lansing’s memo-
randum of May 24, in which the Unit-
ed States declared the allies had been
guilty .of “lawless practices” in their
mail censorship methods and that
“only a radical change, restoring to
the United States its full rights as a
neutral power, will satisfy this gov-
ernment.”
It is maintained by the allies in
their latest note that they are “sin-
cerely endeavoring to avoid any en-
croachment on the legitimate exercise
, of the rights of inoffensive neutral
commerce,
“A few lirc3 of a letter conveyed
to the enemy mniay be as useful or
even more useful, to his warlike oper-
ations that a cargo of arms and ammu-
nition. Experience in tke course of
the present war has in fact demon-
strated the truth of this observation.
Hostile acts have failed which had
been plenned through the mails.
Dangerous plots, which the enemy
does not even spare neufral countries,
have been detected in the mails and |
foiled.”
Note Not Satisfactory.
Examination of the allies’ note on
the censorship of mails has brought
a feeling among officials that it dees »
| not satisfactorily meet the protests
set forth in the American note of May
24, which said that “only a radical
change restoring te the United States
its full rights as a neutral power, will
satisfy this government.”
All the information indicates that
the allies have determined to main-
tain the firmest attitude on the sub-|
ject.
any further positive step by the Unit-
ed States might bring the controversy
to a much more critical stage.

TO PLANT TREES ALONG
STATE HIGHWAYS
Arrangements have been completed
for cooperation between the #Depart-
ment of Forestry and the State High-
way Department in planting shade
and fruit trees along the State High-
ways. The Department of Forestry will *
| grow the trees from seed in its big
nurseries. They will be transplanted
into areas set aside for the purpose,
and when they have reached suitable
size the trees will be turned over to
“the Highway Department and private
good-roads organizations for planting.
The Highway Department of Miss-
ouri has been planting fruit and nut-
bearing trees along state roads for a
| number of years. Many of the trees
| ave now bearing, and in a lettgr to the
Pennsylvania Commissioner of Fores-
try the Missouri Highway Commiss-
ioner says that very little of the fruit
is sto'en. The idea is favored by Gov-
ernor Brumbaugh, and undoubtedly
will be given a thorough trial.
The Department of Forestry has
no fruit trees for transplanting except
those which bear small fruits for
bird food, hence onlyshade trees wili
be used at present. The species al-
ready transplanted are Scotch, white,
| and itch pines; Norway spruce, Dou-
' glas fir, sugar maple, white ash, wlite
elm, black
European larch.
A total of about 23,000 trees has
been

pared plots cn the State Forests in

: don,
and Pike counties, Spaced fifty
feet apart in two rows, this number |
: of trees will be cultivated to encour- !
age rapid development, and will le
again transplaned next spring. The
frequent transplanting is done for the
purpose of producing a stocky and vi
gorous root system.

G-MONTHS' CONTRACT MADE
Pittsburgh Wholesaler Says Settle-
ment Was Compromise; Product
to Retail to Urbanites at 11 Cents.
The threatened milk strike in Pitts-
burgh has been averted.
The Pittsburgh milk dealers have
reached an agreement with the Ohio
farmers that involves an increase of
one cent a quart to the housewife.
Milk is being shipped into Pittsburgh
from Ohio as usual. The farmers had
threatened to stop all Ohio milk ship-
ments unless their demands for higher
prices were granted.
Announcement was made by the’
Pittsburgh dealers that at a meeting
with the committee of the Ohio Milk
Producers’ association, in Ashtabula,
they had succeeded in inducing the
farmers to modify their demands. Un-
der the agreement reached at the con-
ference, according to Edward E. Rieck,
president of the Edward E. Rieck Co,
speaking for the Pittsburgh dealers,
the farmers will receive an increase
of approximately 20 per cent more
for their milk than they received last
year, “which is about 15 per cent less
than the terms of the original de-
mand,” according to Mr. Rieck.
Dr. W. 0. Ellsworth of Austinburg,
a leader of the Ohio Milk Producers’
association, said that the threatened
strike had been settled in the milk
producers’ favor, all their demands
being granted.
“The Pittsburgh milk dealers met
with our committee at Ashtabula to
make final settlement of the milk
strike. The strike was settled in our
favor en a s'x-months’ contract basis,
and all our teras granted, after a long
and d:fficult struggle with the Pitts-
burgh dealers.”
It is expected that the producers of
Allegheny and Washington counties,
who contribute 10 per cent of Pitts-
burgh’s milk supply, will accept the
terms accepted by the Ohio farmers.
