RUSSIANS EVACUATING
CITY OF LEMBERG
German Press Service.
BERLIN, via Sayville, June 23.—
The Russian forces commenced the
evacuation of Lemberg last evening
and there is only a small command left
in the city today. These, however, are
putting op a valiant defense against
tlie Austrian and German troops who
are at present engaged in trying to cap
ture the remainder of the Russian
army which has retreated to the town
of Chodornw on the upper Dneister.
The fall of the Galician capital com
menced with the taking of West Lem
berg by the Germans yesterday morn
ing and the capture of over five miles
of the Russian trenches aided mate
rial in the later advance of the Ger
mans toward the main city. The Rus
sians fought with extreme savagery
throughout hut were bourne down by
sheer weight of numbers backed by a
hurricane of artillery lire from the
heavy guns. The enemy is now being
forced slowly back from the Dnelster
at all points below Lemberg and the
complete evacuation of the Galician
province cannot be delayed beyond a
brief period.

RUSSIANS DEFEATED
ALONG WHOLE LINE
GENEVA, JuJne 23.—Announcements
made last night by the Over Seas New
Agency says that the Russians engaged
in the defense of Lemberg have been
defeated along practically the whole
line and are at present only waiting
to gain time in order to save their ar
tillery and other war material before
evacuating the city. The overthrow of
, the Russians is declared to tie assured
and ttie entire army in Galicia is being
steadily forced back on Russian terri
tory. Details of the fighting indicate
the most sanguinary conflicts of the
entire war, either in that section or
elsewhere, both sides fighting with
J complete abandon and with utter dis
i regard of the terrible losses.
LONDON EXPECTS FALL
OF LEMOERG TODAY
London, .Tunc 23. The reports from
Galicia are of the most discouraging
character and it is indicated that noth
ing- short of a terrific and unexpected
blow from the Russians can now suvi
the fall of Lemberg. The Germans are
fighting with unparalelled fury and tin
lines are being steadily closed around
the fated town. It is stated that Gen
eral .MacUensen is hurling his troops
against the Russian defenses with in
fer disregard of I be terrific losses which
are described as appalling.
Savage fighting continues along the
upper reaches of the Dneister below
i In' capital hut it is indicated that here
I also the Russians are suffering severo
■ ly. I ,a te dispatches from Petrograd
j lead to the belief that the Russians
tire preparing for a gigantic movement j
I in some other locality In order to off-j
| set the Galician reverses hut it is lie
! Moved that lhot will not lie aide to
. concentrate in sutlleient force to divert :
the Germans from Romberg, the evaoit
ation of which is hourly expected in
I .ondoti.

NOTES
(From »>ur Exchanges)
John Ballaine has written the people
of Seward that while in New York re
cently he secured the pledge from some
New Yorkers that they would laiild a
Young Men's Christian Association
building, a Young Women's Christian
Temperance I'nion building and a pub
lic library building, each of which
would cost $50,000. John is not satis
fied, however, and is endeavoring to
have them raise the ante and spend
$100,000 on each of the structures.
The big radio station which the gov
ernment has decided to build on the
Copper river flats, at Mile 15, will not
be entirely constructed this year. This
is one of six powerful stations for
which an appropriation has been made
bv congress, but it has been found im
possible to get the necessary material
and machinery to put in all the sta
tions this year. As a consequence it
has been decided to defer the building
of the Cordova station until next sum
mer.
The business men of Fairbanks are
willing to subscribe the sunt of $5,000
for the construction of a wagon road
from Fairbanks to Tolnvana, where a
large placer camp has been established
The merchants, however, are urging
that the Alaska road commission spend
the sum of $10,000 on the work and the
subscriptions are to lie paid only If the
road commission will help, as it is
realized that the $5,000 would be a
mere waste of money and would he
thrown away, as no road could be con
structed for that sum.
It has been stated as a curious fact
worth mentioning that the man whe
introduced the prohibition resolutior
in the territorial legislature was at one
time a part owner in a saloon in an in
terior camp. There Is t\ story toll'
about him to the effect that when he
wanted to prevent another saloon froir
being established in business he renter
a building near the proposed site foi
the new saloon and let the preachet
•
use it us a church. The law says that
a saloon cannot he conducted within a
certain distance front it church.
The United States government inis'
decided to iturchase the site of the
defunct Washington-Alaska hank in
Fairbanks as a site for the new court
house which is to he built there in the
near future. The purchase of the
ground was being urged by Delegate
Wickersham. District Attorney Both
and United States Marshal ICrwin, but
tlie department decided to await the
approval of Judge Bunnell to the
transaction before closing the deal. The
location is the most central in town.
The ground is occupied by a two and
one-half story building.
Although the Sheldon Jackson school
has had till of its buildings completed
for four years, yet the dedicating of
them to their real use. owing to the
inability to set a time favorable to
those whosep resence should grace such
an auspicious occasion, has had to
await the favorable time. Dr. Merio
Stnith, the recently elected president
of the board of home missions, will lie
at the school to conduct these exer
cises on June 28. Governor Strong will
be present and will deliver the dedica
tion address. Pull particulars will be
in our next issue—Vertovlan.
