The official an nouncement by the Russian War Office of the capture of Radautx, a city of 1, 000 inhabitants, situated SO miles south of Czernowlts and 10 miles from the Russian frontier, shows how actively General Letchltzky Is pursuing the bro ken Austrian forces. According to a special dispatch from Petrograd, noth ing but a miracle can avert the destruc tion of General Pfiansers army, as General Letchltzky now holds a stretch of 20 miles on the Sereth River. According to a report from Rome an Austrian army under General Paltin is shut up in the angle of the frontier near the town of Sereth, completely hemmed in by Russians. The Austrian official communication received tonight says that the Austrians have repulsed Russian attacks near Gura Humora. This town is in the ex treme south of Bukowina on the Mol dava River, 54 miles south of Czerno witz.

"In the Champagne district yesterday evening, following a bombardment of our -positions between Mationl I de Champagne and Mont Tetu. the Ger mans delivered three attack? upon our trenches along a front of about 1200 yards. "Each of tlieae attacks either was checked by our curtain of fire or re pulsed with hand grenades. Groups of the enemy, which penetrated one of our advanced positions west of Mont Tetu, were expelled immediately at the point of the bayonet. Ten prisoners were taken by us. During the night several surprise attacks against small French posts northeast of Butte de Me- snil were repulsed. On the left bank or tne Meuse me Germans have renewed their efforts in the region of Hill No. 304. Two attacks with hand grenades were checked Dy the Are of our machine guns. On the right bank of the river there was considerable activity on the part of the artillery along our entire front from the Meuse. as far as Moulalnvllle. This was particularly noticeable in the region west and south of Fort Vaux. Here the enemy used to a considerable extent shells which produoed a gas irri tating to the eyes.

At the same time the Germans have held back the advance of the Russian forces from Dvlnsk to the Galician border. Fierce fighting marked the advance toward Verdun, Paris declares in ad mitting the loss of the trenches and the Thiamont works. Farther along the fighting line the Germans reached Fleury, about 3H miles northeast of Verdun, but Paris says they were repulsed there by a violent counter attack. Paris says the attacks on the woods o- Vaux, Chapitre, Fumin and Chenols and on the Dam loup battery were broken and repulsed.

Flans Broached to Place Party lu Position to Indorse Candidates for Office as Two Years' Guarantee Is Not l'p. CHICAGO, June 23. The Progressive State Committee at a meeting here to day refused to endorse any National or state organization until. Its form which is to be decided upon later has been determined by the executive com mittee. There will be no progressive state ticket placed in the field this year unless the National Committee of the party at its meeting next Monday de cides to put .up a National ticket. The sentiment of the committee was that the Progressive party should continue its identity as a legal or other" or ganization if not as a political party so as to be in a position to indorse candidates for office. National Committeeman Harold L. Ickes said: "Under the law the existence of the Progressive party in Illinois is guar anteed for two years. We will con tinue the organization in some form or other for a while at least. I under stand other states will take the same course and that these groups will work as a unit in National affairs. We may decide to change the name to the Pro gressive League. A majority of the committee are opposed to disbanding the party outright at this time." snouia raise is ia.ooo, and the cam paign is to be carried forward until that amount is obtained. There is no other way to save the Armenians. Their lives depend upon the people of the United States, for the other principal nations of the world are in no position to handle their case at the present time. Meanwhile half of the Armenian race has been wiped out by massacre, sick ness and starvation and the remnant is scattered and dying, exiled from the native Armenian villages and driven into the desert and waste places. xne congregational churches of the city have determined to participate in the movement as strongly as possible and have agreed to turn over their collections on the meeting of July 2 to tne Armenian reiier runct.- Donations reported up to date bv Ben Selling, treasurer of the commit tee, are as follows: Previously SS021.S4 Missive Found on Body of Orpct'e Sweetheart Thanks Teacher for Faith In Her and Her Plans for Future. WATJKEGAN, I1L. June 8. The state having rested, the defense tomorrow will move that Judge Donnelly take the case of William H. Orpet. charged with the murder of Marion Lambert, from the jury and discharge the defendant on the ground that the state has not established a case. The motion, it is believed, will be overruled, and the de fense will proceed. That Judge Donnelly would deny the motion was made plain this afternoon. when the court overruled a series of motions made by James H. Wllkerson. chief of counsel for Orpet. to strike from the record vital portions of the testimony or state s witnesses. In asking the court to take the case from the Jury Mr. Wllkerson will as sert that the state has failed to show that Orpet purchased any poison, that there is no evidence to show that he had any poison; that there la nothing to show that the cyanide of potassium found In Marion's stomach was the same as that which- reposed In the greenhouse of which Orpet's father had charge, and that no evidence has been produced to show that the poison stains on Marion's coat were made by liquid cyanide. Letter Written Day Before Death. Presentation of the testimony of wit nesses for the prosecution was con cluded at the forenoon session. It pro duced two items of importance. One was a letter written by Marlon the day before her death to Miss E. E Rumsey, her Sunday school teacher. In which Marlon said that her giggles often con cealed real unhappiness. The other was the testimony of Mayor Lewis, of Lake Forest, the home of Orpet and Marlon, to the effect that Orpet told him after his arrest that Marion had threatened to commit sui cide because of her alleged delicate condition and that this was the reason for his visit to Lake Forest from Madi son, Wis., where he was attending the University of Wisconsin. Girl Really Not Happy. Marion's letter read: ' "Your note came yesterday and I want to thank you more sincerely than you can imagine for It. I am very glad that you think that there is a possi bility of my 'amounting to much, after all. x was very much afraid that you thought that I was silly on account of what is termed my giggles. At first I giggled because I thought life was nothing but a Joke and felt no respon sibility. But later it has been because I really wasn't happy, so I tried to dis guise my feeling that way. . "You may think it queer for one to laugh when they really want to cry, but I am rather queer anyway. But now I feel much better, and I sincerely want to be some one that will do little good anyway. I have tried that W. G. C (Westminster Guild Club) plan. I feel that It is succeeding fairly well. It helps me in many other things, too. I thank you once more for your good wishes. With love, Marion." "P. S. I Just learned about W. G. C. meeting next Saturday, today. I will be there and try to bring some of the ones that don't come very often, if possible."
