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.

There is local opposition to Baughn's
plan to remove the confiscated liquor.
A temporary injunction was issued re
straining him from loading the liquor
on cars. The Mayor has placed guards
at the buildings where liquor has been
found with instructions not to permit
its removel.
Many cases of liquor, it is reported,
have been dropped into the Chattahoo-

serves to control them. 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.
