LONDON, June 10. Temporary suc
cesses, at least, have been gained by
the Russians in Central Galicia over
the forces of Generals von Mackensen
and Linsingen, and also in the Baltic
provinces. In both campaigns the Ger
mans have retreated, Germany admit
ting a reverse in the north, while the
Vieuna official report says the attack
on General Linsingen was repulsed by
a part of his army.
Strong Russian reinforcements have
been thrown into the engagements,
both north and south, according to the
Berlin official communication, and they
have taken the offensive.
In Kast Galicia and Bukowina. how
ever, the Russians are retreating. It
is presumed here by military observers
that the Russians are converging their
lines on the rneister River for a de
termined stand. Inasmuch as this line
is strongly fortified, it is thought the
Russians are in no immediate danger
of losing Limbers.
According to one report from Vienna,
via Geneva, a force of 20,000 Bavarians
was defeated by the Russians and re
treated from their positions 60 miles
north of Przemysl. ' ,
It is said 1,000.000 Austrc Germans
are operating against Lemberg and
300,000 against the Dneister, while more
than four army corps are engaged in
the Baltic provinces.

Comparison of Bitulithic, Asphalt
and Concrete Roads Leading to Tacoma.
Mr. C. N. Reitze,
Portland, Or,
June 7, 1913.
Dear Sir:
It will interest you to know that I recently made a long-promised
trip over the bitulithic, asphalt and concrete roadways between here
and Tacoma and beyond Tacoma on the road leading to Mount Rainier.
The day was- ideal for ascertaining that which I most desired to
know a comparison of the slipperiness of these different types of
pavement the trip being made during a drizzling rain which had
followed a dry spell. I returned from the trip convinced that the con
crete pavement was far safer than the bitulithic or asphalt under these
trying conditions.
I was particularly impressed with the pavement on the Mount
Rainier road, which is one of the best jobs of concrete that I have
ever seen put down. This road, nearly 13 miles in length, is without
any imperfections that we could see, there being few cracks so far as '
wc could discover along its entire length undoubtedly due to care In
placing expansion joints and a careful curing of the concrete.
In Seattle, as you know, we are using the roughened concrete on
grades of from 10 to 17 per cent in residence districts, and have as yet
to receive the first complaint that would not have applied to sandstone
or other block pavement. It is, of course, blocked off in squares about
the size of stone blocks, with grooves a half-inch deep to provide ji
foothold for teams. I consider that when compared from a cost stand
point with other possible! pavements there is a greater relative value
in a good concrete pavement than in any other pavement, except sheet
asphalt. The latter is not suitable on country roads, however, because
of its being too slippery for fast motor traffic. Very truly yours,
(Signed) CHAfi. R. CASE.
