LONDON, -Tuly 8.—At no time
since the great war began has Rus
sia taken a more vigorous part
than at present, throwing her troops
in great numbers against the Teu
ton lines, creating consternation at
many points, capturing many strong
ly fortified heights, a number of
villages, forts and positions which
have been gained by the Germans
only have months of terrific strug
gle.
The great onslaught which had
been marked by preliminary strug
gles in the vicinity of Lemberg, was
totally unexpected. and began on
Saturday and is still continued. Five
Russian armies estimated at over a
million attacked alternately five
widely separated points, along a
lour hundred mile front, in the di
rection of Lemberg, northwards
through Volhynia, past the marshes
| of the Pripet, on to the Marshes
: south of Dvinsk. From the east
I and southeast of Lemberg far south
' in the Carpathians, the attack was
1 conclusive of the Slav determination
to fight to the bitter end.
It is significant that Saturday
marked the termination of the
Workmen's and Soldier’s days of
grace to fulfil the revolutionary ul
timatum handed the German masses
at the Stockholm conference.
The Petrograd dispatches are all
I favorable, while the German offici
al bulletins report an exceedingly
sanguinary defeat of the Russians
in east Galicia by the Austrians and
a "repulse' of the Muskovite on
slaughts in the Carpathians.
VATICAN IN BAD
WITH GERMANY
HOME, July S.—For the first
time since the outbreak of the war
Germany lias hail trouble in its re
lations with the Vatican.
The cause of the strained rela
tions has been that Germany de
manded the return of Cardinal Mer
rier to Belgium who is now at the
Vatican. Germany charges that the
Cardinal has been engaged in doing
political work against the interests
of tlie Central Powers and Cardinal
Merrier affects to see that Germany
will subject him to severe punish
ment if he returns to Belgium.
The Vatican summarily declined
to he dictated to by the German
government and in spite of the great
influence of the Austrian legates
and the Austrian government the
request was turned down with cold
ness.
The representative of Germany
with tlie Vatican is therefore power
less to further represent his coun
try and the relations between the
I’ope and Germany was very severe
ly strained.
Merrier, who is idolized by the
Belgian masses, and who is a power
ful propagandist against the Ger
man policy in Belgium, is not likely
to return to his country while it is
in the possession of the Germans
and it is not improbable that he will
remain at the Vatican for the rest
of tin war. according to present in
I dications. As the German Catholic
have been stout supporters of the
government in the war, the brealing
of rel itions with tin Vatican might
have ;• serious political effect in
Germany.

SEATTLE, July 8.—Jack the
liipjier was outdone in this city on
Saturday night when three women
in different parts of the city were
beaten by an unknown assailant late
at that.
Mrs. Mary Clarke is now dying
as a result of the savage assault
that was made on her by this in
human fiend. The others are in the
hospital in a pitable state after be
ing attacked by the brute in a simi
lar manner.
Tin assaults were all committed
after nine o’clock and although in
different parts of the city, there was
nothing to prevent the same man
having committed these attacks in
every instance, while the women all
agree to describe the man who at
tacked them in the same way, furth
er pointing out the identity of the
same man in all cases.
The police beyond a rough gen
eral description which is not very
clear owing to the darkness, all : -
lievc that it is the same man who
murdered ?.lrs. Whelan several I
months r.go, and at which time they
warned the public that it was
thought that a degenerate with
homicidal instincts was running
amuck through the city.
Since then several women have
been attacked as were these on Sa
turday night but none so cruelly
abused since Mrs. Whalen was
murdered. Ir these iater cases no
apparent reason exists for the at
tacks. There was no attempt to
rol) r.cr to criminally assault the
women.

the scene of extraordinary anti-Ger

mostly women attacked shops owned

This city is alive with war en

fomenting owing to the rejection of
their revolutionary advances by the
German social democrats. They
are springing banners throughout
the city to the effect that if the
