Vienna, June 25—After a month
of fighting, the Italian troops find
themselves in practically the same
position that they started from,
having been unable to make any
material headway in any direction.
Their losses have been considerable
in some of the minor engagement*
that have been fought, and the cost
of this uslcss and objectless war Is
already beginning to be felt by the
Italian people. It is expected that
the Austrian advance against the
Italians will begin within a short
time.

London. June 25—There is little if
any change to report in the war sit
nation today. Russia is slowly fall
ing back in the eastern theater be
fore the slow advance of the Ger
man-Austrian army. This retro
gressive movement is in no sense a
rout, however, as the Russians are
maintaining their alignment and fall
ing back in order, turning and in
flicting telling punishment on the ad
vancing Teutons whenever thev come
within reach. The spirits of the Rus
sians remain good in spite of their
repeated withdrawls, and the loss of
the latter in killed and prisoners is
far below that of vonMackensen >
wonderful battering machine.
On the western line, slowly, but
none the less surely, the French are
smashing the German defensive, the
latter having discontinued any at
tempt at an offensive movement In
that region for weeks. From the
Meuse, Ohampaigne and Lorraine dis
tricts the news is the same. Here a
trench pounded to splinters by the
French artillery fire and then occu
pied bv the French infantry, there one
won after a grilling charge, but all
the time the Froneh line is moving
ahead. Nor are the Belgian and
British idle at the northern end of
the line. There they keep up a steady
attack, day and night winning yard
age slowly, but always at heavy cost
in men and ammunition.

Verona, June 25—Tlie first real
battle fpf tlie war in which the Ital
ian army is now engaged has result
ed in a victory for tlieir arms. For
four days the Austrian army, after
receiving heavy reinforcements, have
been fighting an offensive engage
ment, which gradually spread over
the entire northern line, in the at
tempt to stay the Italian advance
on Triente. Fresh men were rushed
forward by both sides, but the skill
and superior qualities of the Italian
officers and men counted in the long
run. and the Austrians were so sever
ely defeated in several places that
they were compelled to fall back a
long the entire line. It is generally
believed by the Italian officers that
i lie 25,000 German reinforcement?
promised bv Germany and later re
ported to have left Innsbruck for the
southern line, took part in the en
gagement and were among those com
pelled to fall back by the Italians.
Our losses were of course heavy, up
wards of 28,000 having been eared
for in the hospitals at the front. The
enemy suffered even heavier than did
our troops, as they made several bay
onet charges in the open and were
literally mowed down by the machine
gun and rifle fire of the Italians.

Amsterdam, June 25—Rumors com
ing from Berlin and Vienna are rife
to the effect that the Germanic
forces are planning a great attack on
the Rusian line west of Warsaw. Im
mense numbers of new troops, manv
of them the 1915 and 1916 classes
mere boys are being gathered at the
camps scattered between Posen an*!
the Vistula line. This attack will
probably occur as soon as matters
'•an be considered settled in Galicia.
The eastern battle line is now in tb
form of a huge bow, with Libau on
the north end. Warsaw approximately
at the center, and Lemberg on the
south. The Germans are thus In a
position to attack the Russians on
the Warsaw line from the front and
both wings, and it appears as though
the latter must give ground when once
the former attack.

Petrograd, June 25—The German
advance has crossed the Dnelstei
river south of Chadorow. This is tak

army which is now between It and
Lemberg. The latter however, arc
falling back as rapidly as possible.
For the first time in months the Ger
mans are bringing forward tlieir
cavalry, this advance being screened
behind a considerable number of
horsemen. As the Russian rearguard
is made up largely of Cossaeks and
other light cavalry, it is expected that
engagements between the horsemen
will now occur. The Cossaeks have
been giving good accounts of them
selves of late, harassing the Gcrman
Anstrian flanks at all times and cut
ting off straggling parties.

Dunkirk, June 25—It is estimated

which were located and silenced sev
eral days ago. They have been mov
ed since that time, and now will have
to be sought for again. Many non
combatants have been killed or
wounded by the bombardment of the
last day and night. The firing eon
tinues at regnlar intervals and con
sidering the tremenduons distance the

near Labnsse, the First Western On

derstood that fully fifty per cent, of
the battalion were either killed or are
missing.
London, June -6—In spite of all
the precautions that are being taken
to guard the secret, Great Britain is
preparing to resist an advance of
the Germans instead of getting ready
to make a forward movement her
self. It is now estimated that close
to two millions of Britons are In
France and Flanders, protected by the
most elaborate system of trenches
and field fortifications ever construct
ed. They have thousands of cannon
of every caliber from the ordinary
18 pound field gun to Armstrong's
latest product, a 15 inch mortor which
is claimed to be the equal of tin
famous 42 centimeter gun of the Ger
mans. The impression of the military
staff seems to be that the Germans
after disposing of the Rnsians and
sending the Austria* army under
German officers against the Italians,
will then mass all their available
men against the northern end of the
Allied line on the West and under
take to batter their way through
to the Channel ports. To prevent this
will be England’s aim. The roads
are now in an excellent condition,
and hundreds of motor trucks have
been gathered at the principal centers
to enable the movement of Immense
numbers of men in the shortest pos
sible time . Tn the meantime- the Tong
range fighting continues between
the artillery of both sides firing over
the heads of the men in the trenches
in front of them. This is interspereed
with hand to hand fighting at inter
vas| which tends to keep both sides
occupied in the hope that they may,
sometime, catch the other side nap
mng and thus secure some advantage
over them.

A very enthusiastic gathering con
vened nt the Council Chambers last
night to talk over the mater of Ket
chikan celebrating the Fiftieth anni
versary of the purchase of Alaska
by the United Stntes. ,T. L. Mc
Pherson. secretary of the Alaska
Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, was present and outlined
the suggestion of the body lie rep
resents that every town in Alaska
should make arrangements for a cele
bration of the event. This provides
for the gathering at Seattle of an
excursion party some time during the
early summer of 1917 who should
make the trip to this territory In
specially chartered steamers calling
nt the different towns en route, then
proceeding down the Yukon to the
Intorior in time to be present at
Fairbanks’ proposed fair and cele
bration. Each town is to prepare a
celebration to be held nt the time
the excursionists are there, embrac
ing an exhibit of the resources of
tho region.
Speeches endorsing the plan were
made by many of those present and
the following resolution unanimously
adopted:
Whereas: The year 1917 will be
the Fiftieth anniversary of the ac
quisition of the territory of Alaska
by the United States, the transaction
frnught wih great possibilities for
this Northland of ours, and without
which this great empire would today
probably be as much a desert as is
Siberia,
Be it Resolved that it is the sense
of the Commercial Club of Ketchikan,
Alaska, that the event should be
commemorated by celebrations
throughout Alaska on dates that will
not conflict, and which will permit
of the greatest participation by of
ficial representatives and visitors
who should be urged to visit the Ter
ritory for that purpose, and that
every effort should be made to se
cure as large an official representa
tion for such ‘celebrations ns pos
sible.
And be it Further Resolved that
the Commercial Club of Ketchikan
believes that Ketchikan should pro
vide for one day’s celebration, to be
held at a date in 1917 to be fixed
at some future time, when nn ex
hibit should be made of the resourc
es of the territory tributary to Ket
chikan.

Berlin, June 26—The German note
to the United States will make the
statement that Germany has neither
the desire nor the intention of jeop
ardizing the interests of neutrals on
the seas. She is fighting for the
freedom of the seas the note will say
and is willing to accept mediation so
that an understanding can be arrived
at between her and England looking
for a modification of Hie British
blockade of the ports of Germany, In
return for which she is prepared to
retrench to some extent In her sub
marine warfare. In fact the Germans
State Department has intimated that
they are willing to negotiate along
tho lines laid down by Wilson in liis
second note. Germany believes, how
e'er that Great Britain will nbso
nltely refuse to abate its blockade
of Germany’s sea ports, In which
event there is little likelihood that
any modifications will be made In
her submarine warfare methods. She
is prepared however to concede
eijvally as much as England conceit
ed, but will not give ground alone.
The contention by Germany has been
that she declared her submarine war
fare February 18. only after Great
Britain and France had put into ef
fect their blockade of her ports, and
it was only because of that blockade
that she has pursued the course she
has.
