FtTKOliKAi?, juiy 11. in tne cap

ary movement, so discredited -during" the
last few months, ha reached in a. sin
gle move the objectrve fought for bo
stubbornly, but without success, by
General BruBstloff's trumphant forces
of last Summer In a Ions and arduous
campaign. This feat means the definite
piercing" of the Austro-German lines on
a broad front, and not merely a local
penetration, which was accomplished by
the first Kussian. victory west of Tar
uopol. The activity of the Russian armies
lias now spread from Tarnopol to the
Carpathians and they are steadily push
ing forward on a. continuous front more
than 100 miles long-.
Lemberg is now open to attack from
Halicz. It ia also likely that the Aus
trian line, which has long been based
on the Onila I-ipa River, will be forced
to retire, and. as the Russian movement
develops in the direction of Lemberg it
is sure to have an eiTect on the situa
tion in the Kovel-Vladimir-Volynsk re
gion. Halicz is the strategic key to Lem
berfc, the capital of Ualieia.
In addition to rapturing Halicz, the
Russians took -000 prisoners and more
than 30 guns. They- also advanced
westward to the left bank of the
Lomnica River, and pressed forward
on the Bogorodchan-Zolotvin front.
These announcements were made by
the War Office today.

Austrians of a defeat at the hands of
the Russians is contained in a. message
from Austrian war press headquarters

Central News. It says:
"For two days our troops repulsed

which had been destroyed by artillery
fire one division defended itself against
attacks by Russian columns. But when

into action our troops were compelled

In the Japanese war, he received the

Appropriation Has Not Been Made
to Cover All expenses.
At a meeting yesterday in the Court
house of members of all ten of the
Portland draft exemption boards, for
merly the war census registration
board, it was voted unanimously to re
quest the Portland City Commiasioners
to absorb approximately $2000 expendi
tures incurred in taking the war census
In Portland.
Adjutant-General White and Mayor
Baker were present at the meeting.
It was brought out at the meeting
that services were patriotically given
free that would have cost $8000 to $10,
000 had they been charged for. As it
was, the sole cost in money was $2000.
Virtually every county in the state
already has agreed to pay all costs of
the war census. 1 f Portland comes
through as other sections of the ttate
have done. Governor Withycombe will
be able to report to the War Depart
ment that the war census in Oregon has
not cost the National Government one
cent.
At yesterday's meeting it was de
cided to consolidate the headquarters
of the ten draft exemption boards in
Portland and establish a permanent of

be done, however, it wil 1 be necessary
for General White to ask the War Li

arrangement, C. M. Stafford will be re

at the Strand Theater yesterday after
noon.
Hoey and Bellew, whose whole act
seems to consist of their doing: some
thing unexpected and whose perform

closes with a piece of inimitable bur

he has monologue, but particularly he
has a way of translating comedy into
shuffles and pattering with his mar
