NECESSARILY MEANS WAR
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 19.

nicant of extremely strained relations

Czernowitz Evacuated
Reports now Vienna
VIENNA, June 19—The public
is reading with some degree of con
sternation a series of reverses of
which the capture of Czernowitz by
the Russians on Saturday last heads
the list.
The Russians forced a passage of
the Pruth, says this repprt, pene
trating the city.
The bulletin has however a
brighter side for it records the fact
that von Linsingen has repulsed the
Russian attacks along the Styr
river capturing four thousand pri
soners.
The government also states that
the Germans and Austrians are now
co-oyerating in fierce counter at
tacks both in Volhynia and Galicia
especially on the boundary lines
between the two provinces.
PETROGRAD, June 19.—The gov
ernment posts an announcement;
that the Russian troops are now j
within forty-one miles of Lemberg.
_
PETROGRAD, Juno 19.—General
Litchewsky announces his occupa
tion of Czernowltz, the capture of
ten thousand Austrians, about half
of whom are wounded, four train
loads of supplies and munitions
and many guns.
PETROGRAD, June 19.—Von
Linsingen is now making a frantic
effort to sever the Russian front by
driving through a wedge north of
I Tarnopol. The attempts are fruit
less.
LONDON, June 19.—Both Ger
man and Ruslan flashes to the capi
tals tonight report that the Ger
mans and Russians have all day
been fighting desperately near
Kovel. The Issues are by both sides
admitted to be in doubt and the bat
tle may last several days. It is de
scribed in a dispatch from Berlin
as titanic.

This was n

fantry attempt upon Hill 321.
The German attacks upon these
positions which they had supposed
would be carried out surprising the
enemy, were no surprise at all, ana
tin1 infantry assaults wilted under a
terrific fire from the French guns.
The attacks literally shrivelled
up before the terrific sweep of the
French guns, the range being
known to the fractional part of a
hair’s breadth. Great shells from
the larger French guns tore gaps
In advancing columns of German
infantry and all who attempted to
cross a certain point were anih!
lated so effectively was the position
platted by the French artillerists.
Hill 321 has been Joffre's favorite
defense stand, and the result of the
attacks by the Germans must have
justified his trust in the position.
LONDON, June 19.—Just as sud
denly ceased as it began, the Ger
man bombardment of the British
lines in the west suddenliy ceased
at about three minutes before eleven
1 o'clock. It was expected that this
j might be the prelude to an attack
i by the Germans but they made no
attempt to drive forward.
LONDON, June 19.—The German
activities in the West are now very
noticeable despite the bombard
ment of the Uritish lines ceasing
i aruptly today. The reports continue
to arrive of further concentrations
in Flanders.

HUGHES TO CAMPAIGN
EVERY STATE UNION
NEW YORK, June 19.—Charles
E. Hughes is to campaign with vigor
and has now completed practically
the arrangements for the most ex
tensive tour of public speaking ever
carried out by a candidate for the
office of President. He will visit
every state, will speak in every im
portant town in every state, and in
some cities will make several
speeches.
The keynote of his campaign will
be against Wilson: against the Wil
son’s foreign policy, with due re
spect shown for the feelings ct
hyphenates to prevent any undue
and impolitic antagonisms.
The foreign policy of Wilson will
be a delicate subject to handle with

either side, but the republican lead
ers have confidence in the tact and
ability of Hughes.
The World comments vigorously
upon this program and opines that
Hughes is to evade every question
at issue, to content himself with
generalizations and to attack in ge
neralization lest he offend some for
eign sentiment in the nation.
They are already goading Hughes

they would have done in specific
cases wherein Wilson has already
