of meeting for the year 111 111 the West

has been in session in this city since
Friday evening, came to a close with a
rousing session at the First Congrega
tional church last evening pronouncing
the conference the most auspicious and
successful ill the history of the organ
ization. To Organise New District.
As t result of tho conference just
closed it is more than probable that the
state will, beforn. another year rolls
around, be divided into three confer
ence districts with u new district form
ed of the counties lying south of the
Lane county line nnd embracing ,ure
of the counties in south central Oregon,
to be known ns tho Southern Oregon
Girls' Conference district. This 1 1
developed from the fact that the south
ernmost delegates in attendance at llie
western Oregon conference were from
Fiigene, giving rise to the conclusion
that delegates south of this point were
unable to attend on account of the dis
tance and expense and, in order to have
the state mole thoroughly and effec
tively represented in the movement the
organmitiohn of a new district was
suggested and taken under advisement
to be decided at the next statu Honda?
school ronvention.
The only invitation received by this
conference for next year's conference
was from the Highland Hnptist church,'
of Portland, and Inasmuch ns one con
ference has slrcndy been held in Port

third here it was thought advisable to
hold the ll'l'l conference at a more

ant Victory Since Capture
of Lemherg
Berlin, via Wireless to London, June
28. Austro-German forces have storm
ed and captured Halica, crossing the
Dniester river, it was officially an
nounced today.
The crossing of the Dniester at Hal
ica is a further victory for the Teu
.tonic allies la the continuation of the
southern offensive. Hulict is IS miles
north of Leniberg and 40 miles east of
Htryj.
Tho Russians had previously with
drawn further north between Bobrka

mans forcing a crossing of the Dniester
at Ualicx, 2(1 milei southeast of Zarav
no, a further retirement all along the
line is expected. From Hnlics it is 80
miles to Tarnopol, the Austro-German
objective.
The capture of llnlici is perhaps the
most important Austro-German victory
since the taking of Lemherg. A railrond
crosses the Dniester there and with the
gala made as a 'result of the capture
of the city, General Von l.lnsingen'a
right wing threatens to cut off the Rus
sian Dukowiua army from the forces
operating further north around l.em

forces toward Tarnopol can prevent
this it is believed.
All official reports to the Oermuii

have defeated the Carranrn forces com
manded by General Oonsaleta at Mex
ico City and the, convention troops are
still in control of the capital.
A message from Consul Canada at
Vera Crui received today reported the
defeat of the Carransistaa. The d in
nate h was at first misread at the state
department and resulted in the ' an
nouncement that the ( arranxletaa had
taken Mexico City. Canada's n
sage read:
lupatiatna defeated Carransistaa In
capital."
Officials in the ,inte deputment
assumed that a period followed "de
feated." Translated further, the eod
message added, however;
"The capital It entirely cut off from
the world and Carranxa is rushing all
available men to Mexico City,".
Canndu'a message was dated Hu
day at 5 p, m. and was based upon in
formation which waa received at Vera
Cms by eourler,
The gravest fears are felt that Mex
ico City and the inhabitant of the
capital have suffered severely in the
fighting between the Carranslsta and
Zapata armies. Fighting was report
ed in the outskirts of the eity when
the message was disoatched from the
capital. With railrotd and telegraph
lines cut, nil communication with Mex
ico City Is interrupted and the fact
that contending' armies are still in or
about the city ends all present hope
of the Itcd Cross being able to got food
and supplies to the suffering people.
The eity is reported to be without
food.
Report Is Confirmed.
Washington, June IIS. Karly reports
of a Zupiilii victory at Mexico City
were confirmed In dispatches to tile
state department this afternoon.
A courier who left the capital on
Juno Ul has Just renclicj Vera (,'rul.
John Hilliinun, special agent of the de
partment, reported In a lute dispatch,
lie stated that 25,01111 Zapatista soldiers ,
were in the capital. The telegraph
lines to Vers Cms have been taken over
by General Zapntu and all banks and
stores in Mexico I lly closed.
The situation is admittedly serious,
though the surmise was ventured this
afternoon that the Carrunsa reinforce
ments now en route to Mevico City
might outnumber the Zapatistas aud
foro the latter to evacuate.
Consul Caandn reported the dispatch
of reinforcements to the capital by Car-
rana.
With the receipt ut confirmation of
the serious situation in the capital,
there was grave apprehension this aft
ernoon that the suffering of foreigner
in Mexico City might compel inter
vention. The food shortage is grave
beyond exaggeration.
