LONDON, .Tiimo 21. .V dispatch from Amsterdam to tlio Central Newt, says the Germans, follow Stiff their victory in Gulicia, huvo already made preparations for another attempt to eapturo Warsaw. According to this dispatch, Gcnnnii troops from Gulicin already have heen transferred to the Azurn front, west oMViirsuw. The fall of Lemberg is being fol lowed, according to Berlin, advices liy n general Hussinn retreat. In tht Lemberg district the letoiious Aus-tro-Gonnnn armies are said to be driving the HttssiniiH eastward, while to tlio west the armies of Kmpcror Nicholas are falliiiff back from III" eonnlry northwest of Przcmysl, near the Russian border, and as far north iih the district in Italian Poland, nboul 100 miles south of Warsaw. Offensle Power Passes Military critics in London admitted reluctantly today that the power of offensive has passed for somo time from the Hiissiuns, while special dis- patches from Pctrogrnd declared that it may bo even years before the An tro-Oeiiiinn aggressiveness can be worn down. It is generally admitted that Itussia, like Knglund, is not suf fering from lack of men, but that a shortage of munitions has prevented the gonornl allied offensive expected early this summer. Heavy engagements marked the western front vosterdny. The French were tlio objects of vigorous counter attacks by the Oenuaus, who soiiffht to recover positions lot bv them in dune. Kacb side repot ts slight ad vaiices, but the relative positions have been little changed. On Italian IVont i Aeeordiiiff to reliable information that has reached Verona, the Aiistri uiih have received such reinforce itienrs as to enable them to take the offensive throughout the front, but uni being repulsed e cry where with heavy lom.es. The fundamental idea in the plan of campaign adopted by Lieutenant (Icneial Count Cudoinn is to cause the Atistniiiis tlio greatest cpcndituie of men with the least damage to t Iio Italians. 10,000 EMPLOYES CHICAGO, Juno 24 Taking tlio loml In action which It Is estimated will throw 130,000 men out of em ployment.

MS FOUGHT FOR LEMBERG 10 VERY LAST Strop.;:- Resistance Until Actual En trance of Teutonic Forces Re treat From Northern Galicla Also In Progress Ovation for Victors at Gallcian Capital. BKHLIN, Juno 21. Details of the taking of Lemberff, while still mea ger, show that the Htissiaiis resisted strongly to the very lust, and this in spite of their hopeless situation. Before the city fell the n rimes un der General Yon Mnokeiiscn and Archduke Josciih Ferdinand had driven wedges deep into the north ern section of tho ltttssiau line cut ting this lino in two. Under pressure f i oin the northwest and following es pecially an effective bombnrdnient by the urtillery of General Boehni-Kr- molli, the archduke completed the disaster bv breaking the Hussian center, which was suported on Lent berg. At the same time, General von Maekonseu pressed steadily on the soldiers of Kmpcror Nicholas, who were in full retreat along the line from Lcmbcrg to Itavva Hinku. Gen eral Boehm-Knuolli pursued the en emy to the northeast and east of Lemberg. Begin Their Hetrcnt As soon as the investment of Lem berg bad been completed the Hus sions, threatened by the further ad vance of the Germans and the Aus tro Hungarians, also began retreat ing from the angle in northern Gal icia, fonned bv the rivers Snn nnd Vistula, as well as from the district around Kielce, in Hussian Poland, about 100 miles south of Warsaw. The victorious Germanic troops wore given an ovation when they en tered Lemberg. Tho city is described as little damaged, with tho exception of a big fire in tlio western pint, where the Hussions ignited some pe troleum and beuziuo tanks, the rail road station and several factorios. The city apparently had not been touched by tho artillery fire of the Hussions and the Austriuus. Capture, a Surprise Captured officers declare that even until very recently the fall of Lem berg had not been regarded as even n remote possibility by the Hussinns. The fortifications of tlio city hud been modernized in every way. The loss of Lemberg deprives the Hussions of their last strong sup porting point on Galiciuii soil. The moral effect of the occupation also was considerable. It was being re called in Berlin that tbrco months ago Kmpcror Nicholas declined that the fall of Pr.omysl in connection with the fall of Lemberg, constituted tut ovorpowciing ietor for the Sims.
