The Austrian line in this section of Gallcla is hold- ng against the Russians. Standing like a rock, as a part of Kmperor Francis Joseph's main de fenses, is Prsemysl. apparently im pregnable. At any rate, it -cannot be taken until after a terrible struee-le in which thousands, of lives must be sacrificed. Not only is Przemysl prepared for n extended siege, but the Austrians t the front beyond are entrenched in the best possible positions. The boom of the Russian guns assailing these positions is heard constantly but not a single line Is wavering. Arriving here. I was escorted to the front beyond the city by a staff offi cer and spent the day amidst the in cessant firing of the Austrian bat teries. At daybreak the Russians beran shelling the Austrian defenses. 'They continued this shelling: all dav the Austrians answering shot for shot. One Russian shell burst near the Archduke Leopold SaJvator. It threw shower of earth over him. but he was uninjured and apparently not in the least concerned. Reports that the Austrian army's morale is broken or that its ranks have been thinned by cholera's ravages are untrue. The men have been inoculated against the disease and the Austrian correspondents have submitted to the same treatment. Everywhere the de termination was evident to hold Prze mysl to the last. Baron Hoetzendorf, chief of the Aus trian army staff, received me at head quarters and told me much of Gallcian condJUops. ' "We want America to know the truth of the Austrian situation." he said. (The last paragraph of tha story, as filed; evidently was not passed by the censors).

"Governor West directed Lytle to prepare a statement of the situation as it exists In order that he might act upon It. Veterinarian .

Great car will, of course, be taken by everyone handling animals to keep the disease away." J. D. Mickle, dairy and food com missioner, thinks the root and mouth disease- will not get so far west as Oregon. "Cows at the Chicago dairy show have been returned to their own states and may have carried the infec tion with them, but, of course, none will be brought here.
