AUSTRIANS MAKE COUNT
MICHAEUS IS THE CHANCELLOR
fn
LONDON, July 15.—The astonish
ing success that is attending the
operations of the Slavs in Galicia
is the most remarkable feature of
the war for over a year. Having
taken possession of Halush, the
Slavs met the Austrians fairly en
trenched to prevent their advance
to the Styr, where they intend to
cut them off Irom Lemberg. With
powerful use of their field artillery,
using the smaller guns which they
have handled so skilfully in the pre
sent reneway of the offensive they
captured the Austrian stronghold of
Kalush. It is one of the most im-1
portant strategic positions south ot
Lemberg. Immense stores and sup
plies fell into the hands of the
Slavs while many thousand prison
ers and cavalry mounts were also
taken.
The fighting was desperate. It
is now believed that the Russian
operations are indicating that hey
intend to cut the Austrian line of
communications at Stryi the great
base which is south of Lemberg
and on the main line trom Lemberg
to the Carpathians.
PETROGRAD, July 15.—The of
ficial War Office statement this
evening says that the Austrian
troops greatly reinforced made a
desperate and unsuccessful attempt
to dislcgde the Russians from Kal
ush. Austrians from the southern
and Lemberg armies attacked
again and again without success not
withstanding the enormous sacrifice
of men that they had to endure.
The machine gun operations and
tlie field artillery was handled in a
splendid manner by the Russians.
The Russians captured five hundred
and eighty men today.
PARIS, July 15.—The Germans
throughout Saturday, Sunday and
Sunday night have been attacking
again on the Champagne front in
an effort to shake oft the French
grip on the Cerny Berry au Uue
positions. They hurled great forces
of men in a lively offensive hut
were unable to make a foothold
in the French lines. The French
have during the intervals been
counter attacking and the inter
change has been without any re
sult on the positions of cither
side.
BERLIN, July 15.—The Cham
pagne front since Saturday has been
the scene of lively fighting which is
continuing into the night today, ac
cording to the official statement of
.lie General Staff.
The persistent blows whic h are
being struck by the Germans in
this sector are practically rendering
| futile the plans of the French com
i mander fot his alternate offensives.
The General Staff says the great
j strength displayed by the Germans
along the entire line is worrying the
Entente leaders on the west.
LONDON', July 15.—General Haig
reports that the German offensive
in Flanders has completely collapsed
the enemy being driven from the
slight gains which they had made
with their first onset. The entire
lines are reformed upon the same
identical positions which have pro
vailed in that section for over a
year.
LONDON, July Id.—Haig reports
that the west front occupied by the
British today was the scene of ter
rific air battles when the airmen
endeavored to control the positions
tor their side, in order to advise ar
tillery fire.
The German airmen were driven
back after one vas downed in the
British lines and ten others were
disabled, eight within the British
ilnes, one between the lines and one
in the German lines The occu
pants of the aeroplane which was
brought down was killed, those of
the rest which glided to earth were
captured !

the general notion that Villa was |

big force in the Chihuahua district
and is even now threatening the
control of the district by the forces
of President Carranza.
The Carranzist troops are com

Villa is exceedingly well armed

is somewhat of a mystery.
EL PASO, July 15.—A dramatic
story comes over the wire from
Chihuahua this evening, wherein
Villa figures with some romance in
a striking situation.
It is stated \?hile the armies of
Villa and Jlurguia were confronting
one another Villa proposed to avoid
bloodshed of the men who com

armies, and the result to be (hat
whichever won, the forces of that
one would absorb the array of the
other.
Villa ironically pointed out to
Murgia that he had the opportunity
of a life time to capture single

guia however would not take any
chance in such a combat and the
two sides are preparing for a battle.
It is said that Villa has gained
considerably by his daring chall

IOB Prof,
LONDON, July lo.—A strict con-,
sorship reaching into everything I
coming out of Germany and coni- I
polling the German papers to deal !
cniy ,vith the barest details makes |
the situation in Berlin somewhat ’
uncertain. It is practically con
ceded in the heavily censored mat
ter that the cabinet crisis involves
the entire German government.
It is announced that Dr. George
Michaelis, the Prussian Minister of
Finance, has been appointed to suc
ceed von Bethman Hollweg whose
resignation on Saturday was accept
ed finally and with creat reluctance
by the Kaiser.
Hollweg and the Kaiser have been
life long friends, they had been
schoolmates together and something
like a ‘genuine affection existed be
tween the two men always.
There are no further details com
ing out, hut it is considered certain
hat the whole military official or
ganization will follow suit of Holl
>veg and resign. Opinions in neu
:ral countries as well as among the
much better posted Entente gov
rnment whose Intelligence Depart
nic-nts keeps fairly serviceable track
of the situation in Vienna and Ber
lin, differ greatly as to the cause
of the friction which led up to
Hollweg’s resignation and two dis
tant and conflicting versions find
publicity one to the effect that Holl
I weg represents the war party which
I atsists upon annexation and the
| other that his pacific aims got him
; into trouble with the Hindenb.-rg
faction The statement that tin mi
| litury oili. ials are expected to >
j sign, gives color to the former \ r
ston.

hundred and forty mil! men, miners
and small merchants, several at
torneys and some prominent citizens
who were deported from Bisbee by
tin professional gunmen employed
by the companies in the copper
camp slept, Sunday night for the
first time in buds with full stomachs
for several days.
All are encamped upon the sire
formerly used b> Mexican refugees
uficr they had crossed the border.
They were fed by the government
upon the dire ■ tion of President Wil
son.
it was the direct instructions from
Washington that the' men he housed
ami fed. There are many women
and their families in the deported
camp. They are in no mama r pri
soners. The men have eiablished
a police patrol and an t aforcing
striil order.
A pathetic feature of rim situa
ntion and showing how far tin- law
lessness of th. copper companies
through their gunmen has lien al
lowed to be tarried is that many
have families in Hisbee and their
condition is very doubtful at the
present time as tlu men can hear
nothing from that place.
The melt refuse to return to Bis
bee unless they are prote'teed by
soldiers. Ten fjutomobil. loads of
supplies reached the camp today,
having been sent to the men by
friends in Bisliee. The terrorisetn
that the gunmen are allowed to
carry on without government action
is tegarded as a satire upon demo
cracy.
The Washington authorities oro
no! yet decided as to what action
they will take in the matter of dis
posing of tln> deported men and
women. It is realized that it is a
vi ry si r mis question, particularly
as it is making the minors through
out the entire state in a ven restit#
condition. Alary liave signified their

SEATTLE, July 15.—This city is
excited among the real estate and
other sharks by the announced ac
quirement of (lie site for a gigantic
steel plant by the. Jackling Crocker
combination. It is held that these
principals are merely the agents for
a still larger coterie of steel men in
the east who intend to get in on
the extensive contracts which the
government is lavishly handing out
for war purposes.
The establishment of this site is
expected to stimulate real estate in
