POSITION IS RETAKEN TTpwards of Two Million Men in Galician Retreat Eiglitli Army, Composed of Cavalry, In Danger of Capture. I.IWDOX, July 31. A dispatch to the Times from the headquarters of the Kussian seventh army says the situa tion is more hopeful. Panics among the retreaters are suppressed ruth lessly. Three divisions of cavalry have taken positions across the whole front of retreat. Deserters are shot and attempts to spread panic are suppressed by prompt executions. Deserters, spies and agi tators who enjoyed complete Immunity tinder the committee system lie dead n the highways. A. paper pinned on the corpses reads; Red Dadgea Disappear. "Here lies a traitor to his country." Tied badges and other symbols which accompanied the demoralization have elmost disappeared. PETEOGRAD, July 81. North of Husiatyn, on the Kusso-Galician fron tier, the Russians yesterday restored their position on the east bank of the liiver Zbrocz, the War Office an nounced today. Austro-German efforts to force a passage across the Zbrocz in the region of Pukllany and Podlipie yrtre frustrated. The Teuton forces, the statement ays, pressed back the Russians in the region of Dorochouc, Zastavna, Uver enczanka and Orochepy. South of the Kimpolungr road, on the Roumanian front, the Austro-Germans also pressed back the Russian lines. Roumanians Talce Forts. Zaleskik has- been evacuated by the Russians under heavy pressure. On the Roumanian front fortified positions on the right bank of the River Putna, northwest of Soveia. were captured by the Roumanians. LONDON, July 31. A dispatch to the Post from Petrograd referring to the Russian retreat in Galicla says it Is conservatively estimated that more than 2,000,000 Russian troops are stead ily marching rearward. These con stitute the eleventh and seventh armies with their reserves. The eight army, which Is largely cavalry and not In cluded in the foregoing figures, also is retreating and Its position. Bays the correspondent. Is extrtmely critical. The Germans are straining every ef fort to capture it while following up the eleventh and seventh armies, and it looks as If the eighth army might be caught in a bag. COPENHAGEN, July 81. The Berlin Tageblatt's correspondent at Austrian army headquarters gives the number of cannon captured by the Germans In the Russian retreat as 70, those taken by the Austrians numbering nearly 200. General Korniloff, according to the correspondent, apparently is attempt ing to organize a new resistance along the rocky Gallclan frontier. COPENHAGEN, July 31.

PLANE PLANT OPENS Spruce Parts for Army FHers to Be Made in Portland. 0. K. JEFFERY IS HEAD Hydroplane of Curtlss Type Is Al ready Turned Out Most of Sup ply of Special Timber la Northwest. Is v : -K- tee W 7 "WTien Lieutenant H. C. Jones, of the Oregon Naval Militia, detailed A. F. DeBauw, carpenter's mate, second class, to get some recruits for the Navv in Astoria a few days agro, he neglected to specify that they must be men. He was surprised, to put it tnildlv. when DeBauw reported back at head quarters in Portland last night with a bride on his arm. As for DeBauw hlm elf. he appeared to think that his re cruiting work, had been highly successful. The happy Mrs. DeBauw was Miss Theresa .McGlnley, of Portland. The two had been warm friends prior to DeBauWs being detailed, some months ago, for duty at the United State Xavy aeronautic station at Pensaccla, During DeBauw"s three months' course in aviation at the Florida train ing camp he and Miss DeBauw lost track of each other. Recently, having completed his course, DeBauw was or dered back to Portland, and Lieutenant Jones sent him to Astoria to get re cruits. "Whilo searching that town for prom ising bluejackets, DeBauw met Miss McGinley. It didn't take the bold sailor man any time at all to renew an ardent courtship, pop the question and receive an immediate "Yes." As a man of action, DeBauw proposed an immediate wedding. Miss McGlnley was willing, so with Chief Teoman Bernard McDonald, U. S. N., as escort and witness, the reunited couple were wed yesterday at St. Mary's Church, Astoria. POSSES SEEKING CONVICT Petaluma Constable Dying as Result of Stab "Wounds. PET ALUM A, July 31. Thirty-five deputies and citizen's posses were scouring the hills near here today for Carl Otto, Escaped convict, who stabbed and probably fatally wounded Con stable August Jewett, of Petaluma, late yesterday. Little hope was held out for Jewett's recovery. Otto, who escaped from San vjuentin prison last Tuesday, where he was serv ing a 14-year sentence for burglary, was believed weak from hunger, and his capture was apparently only a mat ter of a few hours. A knife was his only weapon. For Infants and Children Cn Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of ' An airplane factory that specializes In spruce parts lor the construction of speedy fliers Is now in operation in Portland. Already it has completed a perfect hydroplane of the Curtiss type, and soon will be operating at full ca pacity. The airplane factory s located at East Thirty-third and Broadway, in a three-story brick factory built for the purpose. The company is known as the O. K. Jeffery Company, and Its president, general manager and board of directors is Oliver K. Jeffery, presi dent of the Oregon Home Builders' As sociation. KorthwMt lias Sprnce Supply. Oregon and Washington have almost all of the spruce supply of the world, and spruce, well seasoned, resilient and robust, is indispensable to airplane construction. Hence the practicability of a factory for the construction of spruce parts, and the realization of a dream long held by Mr. Jeffery, that of practical entry into his hobby of aeronautics. Spruce lumber, suitable for airplane construction, is quoted at not less than $150 per 1000 feet, and is shipped to Eastern factories at present. There is at least 600 feet wastage, owing to the rigid requirements. It is Mr. Jefferys intention to build the finished parts here and ship them East, eliminating heavy wastage and expense. The spruce waste will be available for other purposes in the local factory. Although the local factory will not manufacture finished machines In num bers, the hydroplane which is now com pleted and ready for flight Is construct ed entirely of local materials by lo cal workmen, and is a strictly "'home product" creation, with the exception of its 125-horsepower Roberts motor, which is of the same type as those used by the Government training camps. The machine has a spread of 40 feet, a gap of six feet between the great wings, and an eight-foot propeller, with a maximum of 1500 revolutions per minute. Each complete revolution of the blades exercises a pull of six feet that is, the airplane shoots for ward Just that far at the turn. It has a speed of S7 miles an hour, and can climb dizzily at the rate of 900 feet per minute. It was built solely by Mr. Jeffery and his workmen. Hydroplane Is Tested. "Willie the manufacture of planes Is far secondary to the construction of the spruce parts, Mr. Jeffery said last night that he expected to have com plete four airplanes of varying typeB within the next year for local use. A second plane is already under construc tion. Whereas the first is a hydro plant of the pontoon type, the second is of the flying-boat type, with an actual boat body, constructed of ma hogany. The Portland-made flier was given a trial yesterday afternoon on the Wil lamette by Mr. Jefrery and his master aviator, J. H. Skonlng, who Is a recent graduate of the Pensacola, Fla., United States Navy Aeronautical Station School. La -k of balance in the pon toons, which must be placed to the fraction of an inch, rendered the trial on water enly partially successful. The machine is of interchangeable type, however, and has land-gear. It will be flown by Mr. Jeffery on Thurs day, somewhere near this city, with the land-gear attached. There is held to be no question of the machine's prac ticability, as it is ideally constructed of the finest materials and Is the equal of any known machine of its type. Parts to Be Shipped East. The.Q. K. Jeffery Company will man ufacture struts, beams and braces of Oregon and Washington spruce, bring ing them to a fine finish and shipping them to the Eastern trade. Arrange ments have been made with the Curtiss people for the output, but it is consid ered probable that the output of the plant may be commandeered by the Government for war purposes when the airplane building programme is well under way. Letters received from the National Council of Defense indicate this. One thousand feet of spruce is- esti mated for the construction of an air plane. The local plant will have a capacity of 25.000 feet a day, and Mr. Jeffery is certain that his factory can turn that amount into the finished ar ticle. The spruce must be air-dried for three months at least. A stock of 500, 000 feet. of selected spruce is now stored at the factory. Test of Spruce Severe. Such spruce must undergo a tremen dous test before it is fashioned into parts upon which depend the lives of men who have neither time nor place to stop for repairs. It must withstand i "W- ' -s Ps, l . - V h' P V- - - - A?V - ft - i Below, at Left- Close-np View of One of the New Planes, ter Aviator, a Graduate of the Pensacola Aviation Oliver K. Jeffery. "h. School, a Skonlns;, Mas ad (at Right) form to the severe Government test, which has been adopted in its entirety. The factory now employs 16 work men and that number will be doubled within a short time. All workmen are highly skilled and are specially selected for their attention to detail and will ingness to give the best that lies in their craft to the important matter of fashioning the parts. Factory Staff Experienced. Mr. Jeffery Is no tyro in the air, and is quite competent to pilot his own machine. He has flown at Seattle, San Francisco and in Portland, and has guided an airplane to an altitude of 4500 feet, which is four times as lofty as Council Crest. Within the year his realized dream will make the spectacle of an airplane winging over Portland a common one. J. H. Skonlng, master aviator of the concern, holds a diploma from the Pen sacola school and is altogether an expe rienced and adept flier. The machines to be constructed within the coming year are for private use and will be flown by Mr. Jeffery and Mr. Skonlng. The engineer and designer of the company is J. C. Burkhart, who de signed the Vancouver machine which made spectacular flights over Portland two years ago. Mr. Burkhart is now In the East, where he Is looking over Government plans and specifications. He is expected to return within the next few days. Project Held Feasible. This decisive venture by a local man in the field of airplane manufacture is the direct reply to a great deal of pro longed argument that . such a project not only would be feasible, but would be the right sort of business pioneering. The availability of the prime material for airplane construction is held to in sure the business success of the factory. As president of the Oregon Home Builders' Association, a concern which has gone far toward aiding those of small means in home-building and own ing. Mr. Jeffery is well known. The airplane factory Is distinctly his own, although he will still retain his Interest and the presidency in the first firm. Canning Classes to Be Held.

"With a ere. of 10 men on board his vessel. Captain Bernier made the voy age from the St. Lawrence River to Baffin Island. From that point he was to proceed westward through Lancaster Sound, toward the region In which he expected to locate Stefansson. Cap tain Bernier carried provisions for two years, and his unexpected return at this time is as yet unexplained. Captain BeVnier was sent out in July a year ag-o by the Canadian Geological Survey specifically to make surveys and explore for new land, but intended also to look for Stefansson. who left Victoria, B. C, in June, 1913, and who proposed to pass the Winter at Winter Harbor, Jlelvllle Island. Captain Joseph E. Bernier sailed from Quebec for the Arctic Ocean in July, 1916, to take moving pictures. The Guide is a vessel of 156 tons and carries 10 men. Stefansson passed last Winter on Melville Island with 24 white men, 19 Eskimos, and an abundance of dogs, gasoline and supplies, and is supposed to be now making his way eastward in the power schooner Polar Bear, hoping to accomplish the Northeast pass) ge.
