AUSTRO GERMANS THROW BACK
RUSSIANS 150 MILES IN
SEVEN WEEKS.
CLOSE TO GATES OF LEMBERG
Teutons Are Now As Near Galiciai
City As Were Germans to Paris
Last Fall—Petrograd Is
Silent
Vienna (Via London), June 22.—The
Russians are in general retreat from
their positions along the Werezyca
river, a short distance to the west of
Lemberg.
London, June 22.—An exodus of con
siderable proportions has already be
gun from Lemberg, says the r/lorning
Post's Petrograd correspondent
London, June 21. After seven
weeks' battering acrose Galicia during
which the Russians have been thrown
hack more than 1 f»0 miles, the Austro
Germans are now as close to Lunberg
as were the Germans to Paris after
their dash across France last fall.
Never perhaps since before the bat
tle of the Marne, have the Teutonic
allies appeared so confident of suc
cess. Having failed in their original
plan of crushing France, and then turn
ing to Russia they have reversed the
order of their
strategy
and now, judg­
ing by the expenditure of lite and
ammunition in Galicia, they have pin
ned their whole faith to so paralyzing
the Russian army as to permit of the
throwing of a tremendous weight of
men and metal into the weste-n thea
ter, there either to break through the
Franco-British line or force an inter
minable period of sanguinary
A\arfare.
Kaiser is in Command.
A dispatch from Copenhagen says
that the German emperor himself has
taken supreme command of the Ualici
an campaign, establishing his head
quarters at Pless in Silesia as near
to the front as practicable.
Although the Russian war ofiice has
had little to say of late regarding the
Galician campaign, unofficial reports
from Petrograd declare that the rapid
retirement of the Russian forces has
been accomplished without any demor
alization whatsoever, and intimate that
the Russian lines have beeu straight
ened and put in a state of prepared
ness to meet the further advance of
the vast forces which are being flung
against them.
Meanwhile the German official com
munication reports the further prog
ress of the Austro-German forces to
wards Lemberg, both to the north and
south of the city. It claims is well,
that Ihe issians have been cleared
from parts of the Dniester to the
south.
The great question England and her
allies is asking is whether Grand Duke
Nicholas, commanding the Russian
forces, can successfully emulate Jof
fre's tactics of last fall and check the
Austro-Germans at the gates of Lem
berg.
Optimists point out that the grand
duke checked them almost at the gates
of Warsaw, just as General Jofire
stopped the Germans before Paris and
Field Marshal Sir John Franch stop
ped them before Ypres. Dunkirk and
Calais.
DROWNED AT ATLANTIC CITY

HOT WEATHER MEALS
COMBINATIONS THAT GO WELL IN
THE SUMMER.
Hot Savory and a Cold Salad Are Al
ways to Be Recommended—Some
Suggestions That Are Worth
Remembering.
A hot savory and a cold salad make
a good combination for the summer
luncheon, and the savory is a useful
dish for the disposition of left-over
scraps of meat, fish, etc.
The foundation of a savory is usually
a triangle on a finger of buttered brown
bread toast, or fried bread, pastry or
biscuit. The filling may be varied in
definitely, and its arrangement de
pends upon available materials.
Here are a few suggestions for the
use of materials common to all house
holds:
Tomato Toast.—Half an ounce of
butter, two ounces of grated cheese,
one tablespoonful of tomato paprika.
Melt the butter and add the tomato
(either canned or fresh stewed), then
the grated cheese sprinkle with papri
ka and heat on the stove. Cut bread
into rounds or small squares, fry an I
pour over each slice the hot tomato
mixture.
Ham Toast,—Mince a little left-over
boiled ham very finely. Warm it in a
pan with a piece of butter. Add a lit
the pepper and paprika. When very
hot pile on hot buttered toast. Any
left-over scraps of fish or meat may be
used up in a similar way, and make
an excellent savory to serve with ft
green salad.
Sardine Savories.—Sardines, one
hard-boiled egg, brown bread, pars
ley. Cut the brown bread into strips
and butter them. Remove the skin
and the bones from the sardines and
lay one fish on each finger of the
bread. Chop the white of the egg
into fine pieces and rub the yolk
through a strainer. Chop the parsley
very fine and decorate each sardine
with layers of the white, the yolk
and the chopped parsley. Season with
pepper and salt.
Oyster Savories.—These make a
more substantial dish, and are deli
cious when served with a celery salad:
Six oysters, six slices of bacon, fried
bread, seasoning. Cut very thin strips
of bacon the bacon that can be pur
chased already shaved is best for the
purpose. Season the oysters with pep
per and salt, and wrap each in a
slice of the bacon, pinning it together
with a wooden splint (a toothpick).
Place each oyster on a round of toast
or of fried bread, and cook in the
oven for about live minutes. Serve
very hot, and sprinkle with pepper.
Cheese Savories.—Butter slices of
bread and sprinkle over them a mix
ture of grated cheese and paprika. Set
them in a pan and place the pan in
the oven, leaving it there until the
bread is colored and the cheese set.
Serve very hot.
Uses ot Pineapple Juice.
The juice left from canned pine
apple is fine for use during the can
ning season to impart flavor to taste
less fruits, as the pear. A pint of
juice added t'o the water in which
pears are cooking gives it an excel
lent flavor. For canning the pine
apple is often put up in grated form,
or after being run through a chop
per. Although it may be served in
various forms, the fruit is so excel
lent that the simplest form is as
good as any. Sprinkle a little sugar
over the slices about an hour before
•wanted and set in the refrigerator.
If the fruit is quite ripe when served
very little extra sugar is needed, but,
like all other tropical fruits when sent
North, it has to be gathered in a green
state and is seldom found quite rip
ened from the field.
No fruit lends itself with greater
readiness than the pineapple to coax
ing art of the canneries and the pre»
serving factories.
6anana Cake.
Make any one egg cake, or better
still make a sponge cake and bake in
round tins, two layers slice banana
on cake and cover with whipped
cream simply lay another layer of
cake on first and cover again with
bananas and cream.
Whipped Cream—Take one cupful
sweet cream, add the white of an egg
to give it body, small pinch of salt
and whip all together until thick
sweeten to taste and flavor with var
nilla.—Boston Globe.
Rhubarb Custard.
$tew about one and a half pounds
rhubarb and one cupful sugar. Make
a soft custard of one pint milk, two
eggs, half cup sugar and one table
spoonful cornstarch in a double boiler.
Let both cooL then pour custard over
the rhubarb. Rhubarb is much better
stewed in double boiler, too, using no
water
Sour Cream Dressing.
One-half pint sour cream, two table
spoonfuls lemon juice, one tablespoon
ful sugar, one teaspoonful salt, one
quarter teaspoonful pepper, one tea*
spoonful mustard. Beat the cream un*
til it is light and thick add the other
ingredients. Sweet cream may be sub
stituted if desired.
To Clean Brushes.
Clean all brushes carefully by dip*
ping the bristles in warm water to
which has been added a few drops of
ammonia. Remove any bits of hair or
flu? from them, finish off by dabbing
bristles in clear cold water, and hang
up the brushed in the air to dry.

Pierre. Insurance Commissioner
Stablein has sent out the following ap
peal to the citizens of South Dakota:
"The Fourth of July. 1914. records
the loss of 300 lives, burning of 700
buildings, including in the day's work
of distress and destruction several
thousand disfigured and maimed chil
dren through the loss of eyesight and
fingers. Will the people of this state
be aroused to the danger incident to
the use of or permitting the use of
dangerous explosives, with its disas
trous death dealing results? Let us
not lose sight of the meaning of this
great day, given us by our forefathers.
Bursting shell and roaring cannon did
not represent the real struggle of the
Revolution they were but t' e ultima
tum, the culmination of the heart
struggles the self sacrifice, the injus
tice endured by the weak, oppressed
by the strong.
"The toy pistol, the firecracker, the
numerous devices to burn powder, fail
to give to the boy of today (who will
be the man of tomorrow) a profound
understanding of the words 'Liberty
and Patriotism."
"On the Fourth of July, when the
dear 1lag, never dearer than today,
unfurls to the breeze help us to im
press upon the minds of our boys and
girls that this flag and this day doef
not stand for noise, burning gunpow
der and selfish pleasures alone, but
for strength, union, loyalty and free
dom. This generation has forgotten
the horrors of war. Emphasize to them
the awful meaning of the cannon's
roar, help them to understand the ex
plosives that give so much joy art
in commemoration of intense suffering,
desolation and death.
''Let us so memorialize the Fourth
of
July,
1915. that it shall signalizt

th
.Deadwood.—In his decision
suit of Gus Kellar el. al. aga
Ilnmestr.ke Mining company over tin
Lardner-Moore water ri^ht, in thf
(Vrbonate district. Judge McNenny i:i
the circuit court sustained the right
of the Homestake company to main
tain its dams and reservoirs, and it:
right to locate and appropriate thf
waters of springs. On the other hand,
he held that tke company was not jus
tified in the construction of a dam at
the place where their lower dam is
located, but its foundation must not
be sunk lower than the dam now oc
cupying that site. The court found
the company entitled to twenty-one
miners' inches of water, under the old
measurement, or twenty-six and a frac
tion inches under the new measure
ment, the plaintiffs to be entitled to
all water in excess of this amount,
and that the Homestake was guilty of
trespass when it undertook to locate
a new dam thirty feet below the old
one, and for that reason put on the
defendant company a portion of the
Costs. This decision is most impor
tant to water-uses in the Black Hills
It sustains the water right under old
customs, to locate and appropriate
water for the purpose of disposing of
it for a consideration to others not in
terested in the location itself, overrid
ing the law of 1881, which provides
that water can be located only by a
person who proposes to use it on his
own land. It is the first time in the
history of the state that a decision
has been rendered sustaining the old
customs that obtained among miners
before there was any specific law on
the subject.
Pierre.—South Dakota is rapidly
forging to the front ranks in regard
to the production of butter, eggs, poul

Perfect Patent Spark Arrester.
Mobridge.-—'Three MLf.aukee engi

arrester which is now being tried out
by the railroad company, and if it
proves practical, will be a God-send
to the prairie country of the west. En
gineers Albert Taylor, E. J. Cartel
and James Griffith are the inventors
and they have been at work for many
months, working over models and per
fecting their patent so that it would
meet the requirements of a severe
practical test. The principal on which
this spark arrester works is to pul
verize the sparks before they leave
the smoke stack of the locomotive,
thus leaving the spark so small that
it is extinguished by the air before
it strikes the ground.
