the adoption of the name George Kirchwey of Columbia Universty suggested that the name be changed to "League to Estabrish and Mainta Peace" The proposed elimination of the word "enforce" gained supporters but it was defeated after a vigorous speech by A Lawrence Lowell chairman of the resolutions committee During the noon recess the resolutions committee formulated its report and it was presented to the afternoon session by Chairman Lowell who sad that some suggestions offered were rejected because they were not germane to the subjcet and because they could be better taken up in other ways (inc of the principal suggestions rejected he sai(1 was that offered by Victor Berger Wisconsin to) prevent the signatory Nations furnishing the belligerent countries arms and ammunition The resolutions as recommended ity the committee and as adopted by the meeting read: "Throughout 5000 '7)tirs of recorded history peace here and there established has been kept and its area has been widened in one way enly Individuals have combined their efforts to suppress violence in the local community Communities have co-operated to the authoritative State and to preserve peace within its borders States have formed leagues or confederations or have otherwise co-operated co establish ileace among themselves Always Peace has been made and kept when made and kept at all by the superior power of saperior numbers acting in unity for the common good "Mindful of this teaching of experience we believe and solemnly urge that the time has come to devise and to create a Nvorking union of sovereign Nations to establish peace among themselves and to guarantee it by all known and available sanctions at their command to the end that civilization may be conserved and the progre4s of

London June 241 hours of fighting in Galicia has del eloped nothing to stem the Austrid German advance toward Lemberg and tonight Berlin claims the Russians are Norco ting over their own frontier toward Tarnogrod four miles from the Galician border This means an invasion of Russian territory at a new point but accord-tog to military observers here it may spell ultimate advantage for the Rus- sians in that a general Russian retirement northward into Poland would divert General Linsingen's attempt to crush the Russian frontier near Zurawana which would sever the communications of the Russian Army in southeastern Galicia and Bukowina The military writers here say the real danger zone from the Russian standpoint Is in Zurawana district and along the Dniester According to Berlin the Austro- German forces have battered through Niemerow 30 miles northwest of Lemberg and are advancing toward Jawarow which is Only 25 miles west fthe Galician Capital Three great masses of Austro-Germans thus are sweeping from the San toward the capital and the prediction is made that the decisive battle if one is fought will take place in the vicinity of Grodek where military observers believe the Russians should benefit by the lake country British newspapers though no minimizing the importance of the AustroGorman successes in Galicia acclaim what is styled the Grand Duke Nicholas' elusive strategy in shifting his front from north and south to northwest and southeast This maneuver is is asserted has deflected the Ausro-German to blow to some extent and at the same time denied to them a full test of strength Thus the Russian retreat Is characterized in London as strinkingly paralleling the Allies' victory on the Marne The struggle along the Dniester and before Lemberg it is considered here must determine which side is the more astute in the present maneuvers Activity on French Front Paris June War Office communication describes in- tense activity along the French front the Allied forces delivering Powerful attacks and the Germans counterattacking furiously North of Arras the French have carried several lines of German trenches and are making' marked progress toward
