New to $ PETROGUAP. via tendon, June, 6.- The sudden blow struck by the Rus sians along the entire Galician front of 275 miles from the pripet to Roumania, is, in the unanimous opinion of the military critics here, a brilliant begin ning of the long-awaited Russian of fensive. The condition of the roads now is perfect and with a plentiful ' supply of ammunition, the Russian ad-I- vance is expected to develop swiftly. J ( The movement derives significance from the fact that it is not an isolated , attack against any one portion of the ; Austrian lines, hut a carefully co-or. dinated movement embracing the whole t front. J The movement is under the able lead t ership of General Brussiloff, who con ' ducted the brilliant campaign in the . Carpathians in 1914 and who- is gen- i e rally conceded to be one of the best strategists of the Russian Staff. , Teutons Have 00,000 tn Line. j The forces opposing the Russian ad- - vance are estimated at 40 Austrian in 1, fantry divisions and from 10 - to 15 I Austrian cavalry divisions, assisted by, I at the most, two divisions of Germans. ' This brings the total Teutonio forees 1 operating on this front up to 600,000 I men. 'r No details of the Russian attack are . yet at hand, but it was preceded as ! usual by a vigorous artillery bombard- ment after which the Russians moved forward along the whole line, captur- i ing first-line Austrian positions. The i initiative belongs entirely to the Rus- - sians and the Austrians, evidently ' taken by surprise, fell back without 1 being able to start a counter-offensive. It is reported that up to the present ' the Russians have captured 25,000 men, 5 17 cannop and 15 machine guns. Situation Elsewhere Affected. ; Aside from its military and strategic . Importance for this front, the Russian movement undoubtedly will have a i powerful effect upon the military sit ' uation elsewhere, decreasing Austrian v pressure on the Italian front from the necessity of bringing reinforcements to this theater while it is also expected to . influence the situation in the Balkans. : AMSTERDAM, via London, June 6. :: Ditpatches from Vienna report that a i violent battle has been raging during ' the last 24 hours on the Russian front - along a sweep of 300 kilometers (about . 200 miles). The correspondent de t scribes "countless waves of Russian infantry" being sent Into the battle. General Brussiloff.. who is believed to b in command of the Russian forces V on this front, seems, according to the advices, to be following the tactics pursued by the Russians in the Car- pathians, making attacks In mass in an effort to break through the hostile line.

In F-ieet street boys ran from the newspaper offices with extra editions, loudly shouting the news. The newspapers were al- jnoBt torn from their hands by surg ing crowds. Formal announcement of the occur rence was given out by the Admiralty in the form of a report by Admiral Jellicoe, commander of the grand fleet, as follows: "I have to report with deep regret that His Majesty's ship Hampshire. Captain Herbert J. Savill, R. N.. with Lord Kitchener and his staff aboard, was sunk last night at about 8 o'clock, to the west of the Orkneys, either by a mine or a torpedo. Four boats were seen by observers on shore to leave the ship. The wind was north-northwest and heavy seas were running. Patrol vessels and de stroyers at once proceeded to the spot and a party was sent along the coast to search, but only some bodies and a capsized boat have been found up to the present. As the whole shore has been searched from the seaward I greatly fear that there is little hope of there being any survivors. No report has yet been received from the search party on shore, H. M. S. Hampshire was on her way to Rus sia." Aides Men of Prominence. The four members of Lord Kitchen er s staff who went down with him were all men of prominence in British military affairs. They were: Sir Hay Frederick Donaldson was technical adviser to David Lloyd George, Minister of Munitions. He was a past president of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers and a member of various engineering societies. Hugh James O Beirne was second secretary to the British embassy in Washington from 1895 to 1898. He was a native of Ireland. Brigadier-General Arthur Kllershaw won honors in fighting on the Indian frontier in 1897-98. He was severely wounded Jn the Boer War. Lieutenant-Colonel Oswald Arthur Fitzgerald, who had been personal mili tary secretary to Lord Kitchener since August, 1914, waa Kitchener s assistant military secretary when the latter was commander-in-chief in India 10 years ago. It is taken for granted that General Sir William Robertson, chief of the Imperial Staff, will become head of the War Office in succession to Kitchener. He already had taken over the War Secretary's duties temporarily when the Secretary started on his Journey. The General has the full confidence of th country. While he cannot become Sec retary of War until he is raised to the peerage, a member of the House of Lords might be put at the bead of the War Office with the understanding that tne General, like Earl Kitchener, woua nave a rree rein. The cruiser Hampshire had a norma! complement of 655 men. In her recent duty it is probable she carried be tween 200 and 300. She was 450 feet long and cost 14,250,000. She had been in use as a scout boat and for car rying officials on various missions. She was too old to take a place on the fighting line. When the war started she was in the Far East and was re ported to have been worsted in a fight with Germans in the South China Sea. She was one of the British squadron which was sent to the United States for the Jamestown Exposition in 1907. KITCHENER'S WORK NOTABLE Achievement in Building Army From Raw Slaterial Ranks First. Earl Kitchener waa appointed Secre tary of State for War August 8, 1914. a few days after Great Britain's decla- i, ration or war on Germany. He was regarded as England's greatest soldier, and the decision of the government to entrust him with supreme direction of the war was received with unanimous approval. As the war progressed, and Great Britain's deficiencies in certain directions, particularly in regard to the shortage of artillery ammunition, became apparent. Earl Kitchener was subjected to severe criticism, led by Lord Northcllffe. Notwithstanding the criticism -dl-rected against Earl Kitchener, his great accomplishments -during the war are recognized universally. Foremost of his achievements is the creation from England's untrained manhood of a huge army. At tho beginning of the war Great Britain had only a few hun dred thousand trained men. More than 5.000.000 men are now enrolled for the various branches of the service. There have been no recent reports of Earl Kitchener's movements. He was last mentioned in the cable dispatches of Friday, when he went to Westmin ster Palace to be questioned by mem bers of the House of Cwmmons who were not satisfied with the conduct of the war. No intimation was given that he intended to leave England. By mere ljck Kitchner happened to be in England on one of the compara tively rare visits that be bad paid to London during his long career abroad when the European war broke out. He had Just come home from service as British agent in Egypt, had accepted an Earldom from King George, and waa bMng talked of as Viceroy to In dia. Within a few hours after Eng land's declaration of war. Kitchener was appointed Secretary of State for War and immediately took full charge at the War Office, where he worked day and night to overcome the handi cap which the Central Powers had over England in the matter of fighting strength. He grimly told the British people they had a bigger war on their hands than they realized, and one that might last longer than they expected, but it was to be faced with entire confidence, and he, unsmiling, almost like a de humanized machine, set about to make things hum Without his crowning achievements as the great organizer of tho British campaign in the European war. Kitch ener bad already won wide and lasting fame by his many campaigns in Egypt. South Africa and in India. He was born June 24, 1850, in County Kerry. Ireland, a fact that gave rise to a general belief that he was of Irish blood, but his parents were of French and English descent. His father was soldier, but of no very high rank. He had managed to climb to the lieutenant-colonelcy of a dragoon regiment. when he retired to the estate in Ire land where Horatio Herbert Kitchener, tne to-De-aistmguished son, was born. Toung Kitchener received bis funda mental military education at Wollwlch where he displayed only ordinary bril liancy, with the exception of his liking for mathematics. On graduating he received a commission in the Royal En gineers, but when not yet pi years of age, no aiia.cn ea nimseii to a t rench army in the Franco-Prussian-war. He had been in the service only a short time when he contracted pneumonia during a balloon flight, and had such a prolonged and serious illness that he had to give up further service for France. Kitchener's experience in Euro pean w rfare prior to his direction of the great war of 1914 therefore had been limited only to a few balloon flights In France. In 1874, when a British expedition was sent out to survey Western Pales tine, Kitchener was one of the eager volunteers accepted for this service. In 1882 he took his first step on the path that was to lead him eventually to Khartum. Trouble was already orewing in the Sudan. Hearing tha the- Egyptian army was being organ ized by Sir Evelyn Wood, young Kitcb ener saw nis opportunity with uner ring instinct and lost no time in of fering his services. The military au thorltles. recognizing at once his in sight into the native character, put him In the intelligence department, and from the very outset of his Egyptian caraer negotiations of the utmost im portance were entrusted to him and carried out with invariable success. In 1886 he became governor of the Red Sea, territories and set tn motion a series of raids on the notorious Os man Digna, tha dervish leader. In one of these raids Kitchener's men were flanked ana put to flight, during which he received a bullet which broke his jaw. , By tnis time much was heard in England of Kitchener's work in Egypt, and when he returned there for a short rest he was received with honor and nominated aide do camp of Queen Vic tor' a. Wit hi health recruited, he went DacK to Egypt, whereon the res DEVONPORT, England. June . A surviving officer of the British armored cruiser Warrior," sunk in the Jutland sea fight, tells tho following story of an engagement between tne w&repivv and big German ships. Tha Warrior first picked up a Girnan light cruiser at a range of 1585 yards: "The first two shells having given us the range, tne starDoara gun 1010 turret thundered out and a shell crumpled up the hindermost of the German's three funnels. Our armored cruisers Defense and -Duke of Edin burgh were left to deal with two other German light cruisers that were sighted. "All at once a fountain of water rose 20 yards ahead of us and then we knew that we had to deal with some, thing bigger than light cruisers. Three shells of at least 12-inch caliber fell ahead of the-Defence and three seconds later a salvo cut her in two amidships and she crumpled up and sank. The Black Prince was the next to go. Two great shells carried away her funnels and fore turret. The next salvo hit her in the magazine and she blew up. Enemy Fiads Mark. "Our turn was to come, for far away on the horizon we could see three tripod masts. By this time the enemy light cruisers were burning fiercely and had ceased to fire, but one after another 12-inch shells dropped on either beam of us. At last the enemy found the mark. The first shell smashed the motorboat hoist into splinters. The seoond hit the starboard side in line with the turret. The third hit the quarter deck, plunged downward, and wrecked the dynamo. The gun turrets, too. were almost useless, as the am munition hoist had gone. Other shots put the port and starboard engine rooms out of action, "Bv 6:30 o'clock we were a hope lessly battered hulk and waiting for the shells that would finish us when the Warsplte appeared and passed be tween us and the enemy, engaging tha foremost battle- cruiser with deadly ffeet. The first shot from the warsplte topped off the foremast of th leading enemy- battla cruiser. The next over turned both the fore gun turrets and in five minutes the enemy vessel was ablaze from end to end, enveloped ift cloud of dense smoke. Enmr Waraklp, Blown to Pieces. "Tho second battle cruiser, which had been concentrating her fire on the Warsplte, turned to starboara. tmoKt elching from her funnels, and en- eavoring to pick up her main quto- roru But it was not to De. iwo sneus rom the Warsplte blew every funnel she had to pieces. The third made a arraat rent in her stern. The fourth plowed up her deck and burst against the foremast, bringing it nown. Two minutes afterward this vessel also was on fire and heeling over, with the Warsplte still pounding her and ipping great gashes in her starboard ide and bottom. The last .we saw of ber was nothing mora than a broken hulk." The Warrior was towed for 10 hours and then sank.
