RUSSIANS NOW DAY’S
MARCH IN HUNGARY
Pacific News Service.
LONDON, July 19.—I'etrograd re -
ports declare that the Russian offen
sive in the Transylvania section is
progressing' favorably with additional
forces entering the Hunagrian section
through the Rovko pass. The official
report of the Russian war office says
thiit tho crossing of the Carpathians
was but slightly opposed by the Aus
trians and was completely successfully.
The Russians arc now a day’s
march into Hungary and making
steady progress. Russian columns are
also pressing toward the Delatyn pass
anti are expected to penetrate into
Hungary from that direction within
a short time. It is not expected that
the Russian advance in Hungary will
lie pressed for the present owing to
.he necessity of bringing up the lines
of communication to the degree that
they can sustain the moving armies
operating in that section. Military
critics assert that the principal rea
son for the Russian expulsion from
Hungary during the earlier stages of
he war was the failure to provide
adequate communication from the (!a
liclan bases then in the hands of the
Russians. Russia has learned her
mistake in this respect and will prob
ably make no attempt to conduct a
vigorous offensive in Hungary until
this necessary feature has been pro
vided.

lage of Longueval and have not been

The German attacks at other points

press the offensive along the principal
line of advance owing to the neces
sity of bringing up the farther exten

SICATTl.K. .lulv 1H. Despite every

have failed to bring .about n confer

So far the longshoremen have ab
solutely refused to discuss the basis
of settlement proposed and which was
instrumental in settling the strike at
San Francisco. I .ocal shippers are
much disgruntled at the action of the
Frisco employers and it is clearly
determined that the employ i ; of Sc

of a long and hard fought hattle.
