BERLIN', via London, Aug-. 29 The
Austro-German troops have broken the
Russian lines along the. Zlota Lipa
River in East Galicia, the Teutons re
suming activity on a section of the
front where for a long time they have
been merely holding; their positions.
The Russian extreme left, which
hitherto ha been unaffected by the
general defeat, now apparently is
shaken and involved In the general re
tirement. Military experts express the
belief that tho invaders soon will be
expelled from the little corner in Ga
licia, where alone they have been able
to maintain a foothold on Austrian aolL
new campaign Opened.
This develoDment. together with the
sharp advance by the Austriana north
east of Kovel. la believed here to indi
cate' the opening of a campaign against
the fortress triangle formed . by the
strongholds of Lusk. Dubno and Rovno,
erected as a bar to access to Southern
Russia.
The Russian armies retreating north
and aouth of Brest-L.ltovsk are sepa
rated by the Rotik.no Swamps, and mili
tary men here say that the Austro-
German strategists are In a position to
mass i forces against eltner missian
wing and expose it to a crushing de
feat. Dispatches received here today
aav that the Russian resistance behind
Brest-Litovsk has been broken and the
pursuit by the Teutons Is being pressed.
I'tter Roat Possible.
Samary, where German cavalry yes
terday defeated a Russian cavalry di
vision. Is 40 milea from Brest-Litovsk.
The military experts say that this
mounted force of Germans is now In
a position to bite deep into the flank
of the retreating .Russians ana osg
many prisoners, if not to convert the
retreat into utter rout
With more cavalry In hand, the
Austro-German strategists, It is said.
might perhaps before this have com
pelled Grand Duko Nicholas to turn
and accept battle. The belief is ex
pressed that his retreat from now on
will be doubly difficult.
Naturally, there has been much spec
ulation hre concerning the limits to
which pursuit ot tne riussiiins would
be pressed. Some had assumed that the
advance would not be continued much
beyond Brest-Litovsk, but the impres
sion is now general that the pursuit
will proceed so long as it continues to
give paying returns in captives or
offers a chance to bring the fleeing
armies to bay.
Meanwhile a permanent line or de
fense will be settled and fortified as a
barrier against a new Russian offen
sive, it is stated.

It was at first thought that several

the vessel as she went down, but a
check of longshoremen and the em

been accounted for, according to Cap

many of the workmen would have been

"I was standing on the dock waiting

SALEM, Or.. Aug. 29. (Special.)
That the State Highway Comniission
cannot legally appropriate money to
aid property owners in paving the
state fair grounds road was announced
here today. The Commission, at a
meeting; several weeks ago, agreed to
appropriate J2D00 for the work. It is
said that Attorney-General Brown will
hold that a contribution by the state
will be unlawful, inasmuch as the road
is a city street, and cities are now
separate road districts. Property own
ers petitioned the City Council to make
the Improvement relying on the "prom
ise of the Commission.
