Russian Internal Situation Resolves

Reports
By Associate; Press.
Prince Leopold of Bavaria is mak-
ing tno most of the Gissausf action that
under extremist. Influence developed
In the UuBsInn army ti northern Gall-
rla and Is presrlng Into the Hnsslan
Hues along a 2S.mIle front between
ZIochoff and Taruopol.
The Russians were In the retreat In
this sector all day Friday according
to their own account which lays the
brunt of the blame upon the falling
of certain commnnds to obey orders.
The Russians burned villages and
wrought havoc In the countryside as
they foil back the Berlin statement
reports.
Apparently toward evening the Rus-
sian commanders were able to rally
their forces and check the retrograde
movement as Petrograd speaks of a
Russian pause along n definite line.
Saturday evening a supplementary
German statement however says the
advancing Tctitons has reached the
vicinity of Tarnopol. The Russian
front also failed to hold firm against
Teutonic assaults In other sectors
Berlin reports.
It announces the recapture of posit
Ions north of Urzezany lost at the be-
ginning of the Russian offensive on
July 1 .tnd the capture of the village of
Rabin and of the heights near Novlca
on the front of the itusRan advance
on the Lomnica front.
The Rumanian front now Is witness-
ing nctlvo Infantry preparations al-
though not as yet on a large scale.
Austro-Gorman troops attacked tho Ru-
manian lines at one point yesterday
but-wound their temporary success In
piercing tho position aimed at thrown
off by o Rumanian counter-attack.
The situation on the Franco-Belgian
front presents much tho same features
as for some time past there being fre
quent German attacks on tho Rrench
lino particularly along the Chemln-des-Damos
and continued play of the
heavy artillery on the British front
notably In Belgium and tho sectors Im-
mediately to the south or the Franco-
Belgian border. Yesterday's official
statement recorded no changes of
ground.
Tho Russian internal situation
if-ems to be resolving uself satisfactory
ily to the forces ol wnr. The chief
powers of tho government now are
In tho strong hands of Kerensky as
premier and minister o war and ma-
rine and the authorities appear to be
grappling more boldly than previously
and with entire success so far .with
tho extremist forces which caused the
recent turmoil.

Changing Food Situation Worse
During Past Three Months
Is The Report
By Tho Associated Press.
WASHINGTON July 21. Quite dif-
ferent In tone from the optimistic view
expressed by the new German chan-
cellor In his speech to the Reichstag
are reports reaching the state de-
partment from persons comlhg out of
Germany regarding food conditions
arid outlook In the central empires.
These repoits say Germany lacks
COO.000 tons of wheat to carry the pop-
ulation to the middle of August when
the now harvest can be gathered. The
harvest is very poor In eastern Prus-
sia. Even potatoes promise only a min-
imum production.
Many persons arc starving In Po-
land. An American citizen coming from
Berlin declares the food situation is
worse during tlyj past three months
and German people cnerisn no optim-
ism as to the next harvest which Is
known to bo a failure in eastern and
northern Germany.
Tension between Austria nnd Ger-
many Is declared to have grown so
that Buspcctcd Austrlans now are be-
ing Interned in Germany.
The Centrist Leader Erzbergor Is
reported to have charged the govern-
ment with manipulating U-boat sta-
tistics and to have fciven warning
that the monarchal sentiments of the
people are diminishing dally and to
have advised the government never
n-ntn n threaten German strikers
with machine guns as had been done
at Stettin.
LOCAL OFFICERS

Al'STIN Texas July 21. Qovernoi
Pormmnn fhia evenlnc reco'ved a tie-
gram from Provost .Marshal General
Crowder Washington u. . uiih
that local officers who are members ot
military exemptions boards are not
disqualified to discharge duties em
cumbent upon tnem uecause ot i'
fact that they are county cicm "
sherlffa-
Thi sottles and makes clear quite
an Important point as Attorney Gener
al Looney had auuresseu a uuuiiuu"-'
tion to several county officals who are
members of exemption boards in
which the Attorney General expressed
doubt as to whether or not a county or-
ficer could lawfully discharge the
duties of an exemption board.
"I doubt the power of congress to
confer addltlonaldutles on local state
officers." Bald General Looney In a
letter to county Judge Joe N. Ktdson
of Hamilton County. In the limited
time for investigation I can express
po confident opinion."
This Is the text of the telegram of
General Crowder.
. r Foreuson 1 Governor ot Tex
as Austin; Replying to your telegram
of July 18 our clear opinon is that the
position ot member of local hoard r
district board under act of Congress
of Slav 18 is not an office in the sense
of the state constitutional provision
forbidding a state officer to hoia ah
office of profit or trust or as la some
times said a lucrative officer under
the United States. Obviously the ln
17i.o the. duty enloined are not
such as are requisite to office The
duty or function of sucU office is
"...f.. rmanent nor continuous but
i mmnnrnrv for the performance
of a specific and limited task the
oresldent merely utilizing the services
Si otticers and agents of the severa?
Etatcs " subdivision thereof aa lie h
authorized to do hy section six of thB
selective service act. Our conclusion
is that the considerations above stated
preclude the Idea that board members
are off cers inthe prohibited sense."
