Saturday's War Move
THE Russian offensive is still in full
swing In Bukowina,- where the advance-
of General Brussiloff's forces Is
apparently being little impeded by the
Austrians. The town or Kuty, across
the Galician border at the foot of the
Carpathians, has been occupied and vir
tually all the important towns in the
erownland now are in Russian pos
session. To the north German troops In in
creasing numbers are reported to be
coming to the aid of the Austrians and
the Russians are being forced to fight
to hold the ground they have already
won.- , Heavy fighting in in progress
all along "the line from Northern Gall
cia well to the northwest of Lutsk, but
neither side is claiming material prog
ress. Definite and Important gains have
been scored - by the Germans on the
Western front at Verdun. Capturing
the Thiaumont fortified position north
of the city, they pushed on and cap
tured a part of the village of Fleury,
little more than three miles from Ver
dun, but were soon ejected from the
village by a counter-attack, according
to the Paris official statement. The
French war oftice makes the further
claim that much of the ground taken
by the Germans was recaptured, but
admits that the Crown Prince's forces
still -are in possess . od of the Thiau
mont work.
The Italians have made further ad
vances in the Trentino, pushing for
ward in the Pasuabio sector, while
elsewhere they have withstood suc
cessfully attacks by the Austrians.
Constantinople reports an important
suocess in Turkish Armenia, where the
Russians were driven from positions
more than a mile in width on a moun
tain ridge north of the Chorokh River.
On the Persian frontier of Mesopota
mia the Russians were cleared from
Paitak Pass and pursued by the Turks
some 10 miles to the eastward.

BOUNDARY LINES CHANGED
President Signs Order Altering Land
District Lines.
WASHINGTON, June 21. Upon the
recommendation of Secretary Lane, the
President has signed an executive order
changing the boundary lines between
the Seattle. Vancouver and North
Yakima land districts in Washington.
Many years ago Congress established
the crest of the Cascade Mountains as
the natural lines of demarcation be
tween these land districts at a time
when there were no established lines
Of public surveys.
By recent surveys, however, it was
found that the crest of the Cascade
Mountains placed the lands of some
entrymen in two land districts and the
boundary lines were changed to follow
the lines of the public surveys, so that
land covered by one entry would be in
cluded in but one land district.

Mrs. J. W. Lewis, Former Stenogra
pher. One of Legatees, to Tell
Executor What She Knew
ot Attorney's Affairs.
When Robert J. Brock, well-known
Portland attorney, died last April he
left an estate valued at $150,000. ac
cording to the estimate in the petition
for probate of will. But, except for
his interests in the holdings of the
law firm of Sheppard St. Brock. Investi
gation since his death reveals practi
cally no assets.
No trace has been found of bonds
reputed to be worth more than 140.000.
The deed to a 2400-acre tract of valu
able farm land in Kansas cannot be
discovered, though it Is property of
which Mr. Brock spoke often as owner.
Mr. Brock was supposed to own also
another ranch of 285 acres In Kansas.

where. At an expense of several thousand
dollars the new store has been fitted

Important Towns Occupied in
Wake of Austrians.
FORCES NEAR HUNGARY
Czar's Troops Start Encircling Move
- and Make Dash for Passes to
tlie Carpathians tier
many Sending Aid.
FETROGRAD, via London. June
The capture by the Russians of the
town of liuty. In Galicla, across the
Bukowina border at the foot of the
Carpathian Mountains, was announced
today by the War Office.
he southern wing ot General Bru
slloff's army has now pursued the
retreating troops of General Pflanzer
two-thirds of the way across the Aus
trian crown lands of Bukowina and has
occupied all the important towns of this
province except Ivimpolung and Dorna
Watra. In the direction of these towns
the Russians have taken Gura Mumora
and are now proceeding along the rail
way line running through Bukowina
into Hungary.
The only alternative apparently left
to the remnant of General Pflanzer's
forces which still cling to Bukowina
is to follow their comrades into the
Carpathian foothills. The Russians, fol
lowing up their successes west of -Czer-nowitz,
have considerably deepened-the
breach made- in the Austrian line at
that point and from Kuty are bringing
pressure from a third direction on
Kolomea. -
Thus, while the Austrians are still
maintaining their positions in the
Lutsk, region and until now have suc
cessfully defended the approaches to
Lemberg, the encircling movement Jn
Eastern Galicla and Bukowina, military
observers point out,' Is dally assuming
greater dimensions. This, however, can
not be developed indefinitely without
reference to the operations at Lutsk.
According to all reports, the Germans
are bringing up at this point a con
tinuous stream of reinforcements and
the Issue in the struggle In this sector
still is In doubt.
The Russians are overrunning Buko
wina and are making a dash for the
passes to the Carpathians, as they did
18 months ago, when they reached
Klrlibaba Pass, overlooking Austrian
Transylvania. A report from Bucharest
states that the Russians have taken
possession of two railways leading
from Aoumanla into Bukowina. (
The information that the Germans
and Austrians are bringing reinforce
ments up from the French and Italian
fronts also is given. According to
speculation In Paris, the tornado of
artillery fire on the Verdun sector and
the attacks in Champagne are supposed
to mask the transfer of troops from
this front to the Russian front.
By means of forcedmarchee along
the Roumanian frontl r, the Russians
have reached the extreme south of
Bukowina and at Kuty on the north
and Gura Humora on the south have
approached the thickly forested spurs
of the Carpathian Mountains. A good
road about 100 miles long runs tnrougn
narrow valleys from Gura Humora by
way of KImpolung and Dorna watra to
Blstrlts, Hungary, offering the Rus
sian guerrillas an excellent opening
Into their enemy's country.
The Russians in their pursuit of the
Austrians thus far have crossed four
rivers the Dnelster. Pruth. Sereth and
Sucsava. Two days sufficed to cover
the IS miles between the sereth and
Sucsava.
The objective of the Russians was
Radautz, where the Austrians were ex
pected to offer stubborn resistance, but
It appears that the Austrians failed to
make any serious stand here. Radauts
is only five miles southwest of the im
portant railway Junction of Hadikfalva,
close to the Koumaniad frontier. Vir
tually the entire railway system of
Bukowina now is In possession ot the
Russians. -
