General von Linsingcr's Defeat
Causes Sharp Turn In Affairs In
Galicla Russians "Come Back"
and Assume Offensive All Along
the Line Successes fcr Allies.
LONDON, Juno 12. -On three of
the principal fronts of t'urnpo suc
cesses for the allies arc reported on
the Russian mid Italian fronts and on
(lallipoli peninsula. On the Franco-
llelginn lino no movements of more
than passing importance arc under
way, and neither sido eau laitn con
jipieuous ndvantnges.
Itceeut Russian claims that the
tide of battle has turned in Oalicia
are accentuated ly an official state
ment from Pctrograd today. It is
wiid the Austro-flennnn forces south
of Lcmberg have sustained severe de
feats. Capturo of several villages is
announced and it is said many pris
oners and much war material were
taken.
Italian Advance Continues
The Italian ndvanco across the Ts
onzo river has not been cheeked. Oc
cupation of the town of flradiscti,
dx miles southu;cst of florizin, is re
torted hy the Italian military author
ities. Possession of this town and of
Mnnfuleone, near the (Inlf of 'Priest,
would tumour to give the Italians a
firm hold on the lower Isonzo.
Unofficial reports from Athens in
dicate that the allies have made
greater advances than has heeu
claimed in the official statements
from London and Paris, which give
fmv details. It is said the allies are
now c!oo to the town of fliillipoli.
llusslaus Clunk (Jennans
Following von Linsongon's defeat,
there has liceu a sharp turn in the
situation iu Oalicia, which will pre
vent Germany transferring any con
siderable force of troops either to
the west or to the Italian frontier.
Rome (ionium forces, it is even de
clared, alrcadv have been detached
from the Galieian armies and hur
ried to the Imiiizo front.
The latest official announcements
from Petrogrnd assert that the Rus
hiaus have assumed the offensive
nlong tlio Dubysn river and in the
' Ilultio provinces, and they concede
the loss of ground nowhere except
along the river Pruth in Hukowiua.
Viewing the recent fighting iu Oal
icia iu perspective, it mav he divid
ed roughly into three great battle.
The chief of these was fought forty
miles to the southeast of l.einberg,
where the forces under General von
Liiisingcu hud not onlv crowed the
Dniester, but had progressed sonic
twelve miles beyond, getting astride
of the Lemberg railroad. These were
the forces which the Russians appar
ently have foreod back with heaw
lossu.s, thus placing the river iu Itus
biau hands throughout.
Matkciiscii ItcpuUcd
The second great battle or series of
battles took place iu the territory be
tween I'ngnitsborg and Zyduchnw,
and along this line the Russians claim
to have lopiiUod the (lerpiniis wit'i
severe punishment.
North of both of those areas and
east of Premysl was the scene of a
third battle. Hero General von
Mnokonsen at the head of the main
Aii6(ri.Gennan forces', was trying to
penetrate due oust to Lemhcrg
through Mosiiinka Wednesday, ac
cording to the Riimohii contention,
the German cheek in thU locality
was complete.
inn bin, it apMnrs, is continuing
her systematic ncouimtion of mirth
cm and central Albania, and she mav
even now be in oeion ot Scutari.

Reply to President Wilson Friendly In

Characterized as Disgraceful
Asks Carranza to Agree to Cpnfcr
ence to Reorganize Mexico.
KL PASO, Tex., .lane P2 General
Villa, iu a note to President Wilson,
expresses willingness "to invito a new
union of all Mexicans ... to
work together to insure the triumph
of the revolutionary principles, es
pecially the agrarian problem and the
extension of instruction among the
poorer classes."
Another note signed by Francisco
Villa has been dispatched to General
Venustiano Carranza, asking the lat
ter to agree to a conference of lead
ers in Mexico to "unite ami reorgan
ize." I lie note states that proposi
tions are being placed before Hniili
nno Zapata and Roipio Gonzales
Garza.
Danger of IMa. Parly
General Villa iu his invitation for
a conference points out that unless
the constitutionalists organize the
government, the cientificos (Diaz
party) will again get conttol under
the guise of another name, and sec
oud, unless conditions in Mexico are
improved, the 'United States will in
tervene. The invitation requests an early
icply, that preliminaries for the con
ference, if agreed to, may bo ar
ranged. No place for holding the meeting
is' suggested.
The Villa reply to President Wilson
is friendly iu its terms. It explains
that General Villa uiukes the state
ment in his own name, believing he
eau affirm it "iu the name of all fac
tions whose political tendencies are
represented by the conventionalist
government and supported liv the
armies" nndor his command.
liuHllc(l to Itcply
General Villa declared he is im
pelled to teplv to President Wilson's
declaration of policy legaidiug Mex
ico because of Mr. Wil-on's high
spirit of justice and the "considera
tion and respect in which he is held
both inside and outside his own coun
try, especially by the middle class
and the poorer people of Mexico, a
consideration and respect which 1
also hold for him."
Villa characterizes as ''disgrace
ful" the division among constitution
alist leaders after' the triumph
against Victnrinnu Unci la, which he
altiilnitt's iu pint to "personal ambi
tions of some persons," but declare
that certain principles were involved
for which "we aic still lighting,"

vailed In official circles during tlio

Throughout official quarters there
was an optimistic feeling that tho
I'nlted States In Its firm, yet friendly
reiteration of earnest Inslstenco that
Germany conform to principles of
humanity and International law, had
oponod tho way for llerliu to con
tinue peaceful relations.
No reply Is expected for probably
two weeks, the general understand

When the negotiations' between
China nnd Japan regarding Man

suddenly assumed a critical phase, it
is said that the Japanese government
regarded it as prudent to retain iu
Japan these military supulics us a
precautionary measure iu ease tho
Chinese should actually go to war,
nnd also because of the possibility
that some of the powerful nations
which guaranteed Chinese integrity,
oven Russia being kept in mind, might
endeavor to intervene.
Kffect Instantly Felt
The effect of the conservation of
Japanese resources was almost in
stantly manifested at tho far distant
Russian front, for it developed that
the Russian hud exhausted all their
own reserve slock of ammunition and
with it their limited maniifacttiriug
facilities were dependent upon Japan
for the grenter pint of the powder,

In that emergency, appeals weie
made to Japan to loosen the embargo

that country through her allies so
that it is understood now that the
current of supply has again been es
tahlihhod, Japan having become sat
