RUSSIANS DRIVEN OUT AFTER
TEN MONTHS' OCCU-
PANCY.
TEUTONS SWEEP THROUGH GALICIA
Russians Had Expected to Add Galici?
Permanently to the Slav Empire
—Capture Due Mainly To
Lack of Ammunition.
London.—Lemherg has been con-
quered after a very severe battle, ac-
cording to an official report received
from the headquarters of the Austor-
Hungarian army. The Galician cap-
ital fell before the advance of the sec-
ond army.
Petrograd, however, claims a vic-
tory on the river Dniester resulting
in heavy losses in prisoners and mu-
nitions to the Austro-Germans and
partial confirmation is given this claim
by the Austrian official accounts of
the stand made in this neighborhood
by the Russians which enabled them
to withdraw in good order. Other evi-
dence of the orderly retirement of the
Russians is the Austrian report that
armies of the central empires cap-
tured very few guns, the Russians
having withdrawn their artillery
previously to the stubbornly fought
rear guard action.
Lemberg, capital of Galicia, was cap-
tured by the Russians on September
2, 1911, about one month after the
outbreak of hostilities in the course of
the early drive into Russia. It has
therefore been in Russian control
more than ten months.
For the last twenty days since the
Ausira-Germans took Przemvsl, it has
been the objective of a series of fierce
and concentrated attacks by the Teu-
tonic allies. Their success will have
a far-reaching political effect as the
driving out of the Russians from
Galicia is counted on in Berlin to help
maintain the status quo in the Bal-
kans. The capture of Lemberg was
one of the earliest important successes
of the Russians. Following it they
pushed onward rapidly through Galicia
The high-water mark of the invasion
found almost all the province in their
hands. They approached within strik-
ing distance of Cracow, at the west-
ern end of the province close to the
German frontier; stormed the heights
and passes of the Carpathian moun-
tains, which separate Galicia from
Hungary; and to the east swept down
through the crownland of Bukowina to
the Roumanian frontier.
All this has been changed by the
steady succession of Austro-German
victories of the last few weeks. The
change began with the launching of
the great drive from Cracow east;
ward. Great numbers of German
troops were sent in to assist the Aus-
trians as well as a vast amount of
field artillery. The use of the artil-
lery by the Teutonic allies has been
described by correspondents as on a
scale never before undertaken. Its
effectiveness was relatively increased
by the shortage of shells on the part
of the Russians, which is believed to
have contributed largely to the weak-
ening of their resistance.
With Lemberg now in her hands,
Austria has reclaimed virtually the
whole province of Galicia. The fight-
ing in this campaign has been of un-
usual intensity with heavy losses. The
figures of killed, wounded and cap-
tured as given in Austrian, German
and Russian official statements run
Into the liuudreds of thousands.
IE0 FRANK ESCAPES HANGING

IMPERIAL VALLEY OADLY SHAKEN
CALIFORNIA HAS SMALL EARTH
QUAKE DISASTER.
Most Serious Damage Is To imperla/
Valley Irrigation
System.
El Centrol, Cal.—In an area extend-
ing roughly from the shoulder of the
Cocopah mountains to Lower Califor-
nia to San Bernardino and Needles,
Cal., on the north, Yuma, Ariz., on the
east, and San Diego on the west, a
series of earthquakes has wrought
damage now estimated at about
$400,000, killed four men and women
and injured perhaps a score, none
seriously.
The zone in which the tremblers
were felt most centered about Calexico
and Mexicali, the Mexican town op-
posite in Lower California where the
free revelry of a frontier collection
of saloons and dance halls halted
when the first shock put out the lights
and where all the fatalities occurred.
The men and women killed were
crushed beneath the adobe wall of a
dance hall as the visitors fled panic
stricken to the street.
So far as can be ascertained the
Alamo wasteway, connected with
Sharp's heading, a controlling unit in
the $5,000,000 Imperial Valley irriga-
tion system, was severely damaged.
The heading itsalf and other impor-
tant units withstood the shocks, al-
though fissures opened in the ground
around them and unless further
quakes render one of the headings
useless there will be no lack of water,
It is said, for the 400,000 acres under
cultivation.
Rebuilding already has been started
in this city where an entire block of a
business section was ruined. At
Calexico similar work was in progress.
The damage here was estimated at
close to $200,000.
The loss at Calexico was estimated
at something less than tlia?.
Several fires at Calexico added to
the damage done there by me quakes
which threw the municipal water tanls
off its forty-foot tower.
The collapse of the tower deprived
the town of water pressure and hamp
ered efforts at fighting the fires which
burned several residences and two
business buildings.
North of El Centro the damage was
comparatively light. Imperial, Braw-
ley and the towns further up the vaV
ley Buffered only slightly.
