A dispatch from Copenhagen tonight says that the German Emperor himself has taken supreme command of the Galician campaign, establishing his headquarters in Sislicia, as near to the front as possible. , Meanwhile the German official com munication records the further prog ress of the Austro-German forces to ' ward Lemberg, both to the north and south of the city. It claims as well that the Russians have " been cleared from parts of the Dniester to the south. ' The question England and her Allies are asking is whether urana ijukb Nicholas can emulate Joffre's tactics of last fall and check the Austro-Germans at the gates of Lemberg. Optimists point out that the grand duke check ed them almost at the gates of War saw, just as General Joffre stopped the Germans before" Paris andTield Marshal Sir John French stopped them before Tpres, Dunkirk and Calais. -v It is argued further that even should Lemberg fall the Russians can drop back to equally .formidable positions, utilizing the rivers and swamps, and it is the British contention that they thus could hold out for months, England and France in the meantime sending to their aid men and munitions necessary. Whether Russia has sufficient ammu Jiiiion to meet the present strain, is a question which cannot be answered Jn England, although the London papers say the shortage is acute. One Sunday Paper characterizes the situation in Ga Hcia as "Russia's supreme emergen '" and public interest is centered in that theatre, notwithstanding the hard fighting in progress along the western front. The sound of guns is audible at Lemberg, and possibly this .'.week will ee the culmination of one of the mqrst tnterestng phases of the war. .

ISSUES A STATEMENT Violators of the Oleomargarine Law Will Be Made to SoiTer Already Nearly Million of Back Taxes Collected. Washington, June 20. How viola tors of the oleomargarine law have de frauded the government out of at least $27,000,000 due in stamps and special taxes was revealed tonight by Secretary McAdoo in a statement based on a preliminary report in a sweeping investigation conducted by Commissioner Osborn, of the Internal Revenue Bureau. Frauds committed as long ago as 1902, immediately after the enactment of the law have been uncovered. The commissioner began his inquiry some months ago and . since then unpaid taxes aggregating $851,000 have been recovered and deposited in the treas ury "with the prospect of further very large collections." . Forty-two violators of the law have been convicted since the first of Jan uary and 29 of these" have been given prison sentences. Fines aggregating $149,000 have been assessed in addition to the recoveries actually made and the announcement declares the investi gation will be continued. Great Quantities Sold. The announcement shows that since 1902 more than 200,000,000 pounds of colored oleomargarine have been man ufactured and fraudulently sold as un colored. "This amount," it says, "represents more than twice the average yearly consumption of both colored and un colored oleomargarine by the people of the United States since the present law went into effect. "Approximately 185,OO'0,000 pounds of this . 200,000,000 pounds were sold by oleomargarine manufacturers to deal ers as uncolored oleomargarine and then in many cases sold to the ulti mate consumer as butter. The remain ing 15,OJ)0,000 pounds were made by buttyinantsacturers aird: apld -as but? ter 'without the payment of any tax. "The law imposes -a tax of 10 cents a pound on colored oleomargarine and one-quarter of a cent a pound on the uncolored ..product. In perpetuating these frauds the oleomargarine manu facturers have paid only the one-quarter cent when they should have paid tene'ents." . i The announcement says that $6,000, 000 frauds have been detected in two years and that as a consequence of the activity of the internal bureau, aided by the Department of Justice, receipts under the oleomargarine law in 1914 and -1915 have been 24 per cent of the total collections since 1902. Total collections from 1902 to 1913 were $9,628,665, while in 1914 and 1915 $3,041,040 was collected. Violators of the law resorted to ig nominious schemes to avoid payment of the tax. In many instances they purchased ,palm oil with which to color their product, imported it to their,, factories by circuitous routes and used it with other ingredients to mask it from detection. Butter man ufacturers compounded "ladle butter" with oleomargarine oil, coloring the resulting product and putting it on the market as butter. " "While there was a total of approx imately $27,000,000 in taxes due to the government from the larger offenders, continues the announcement, "only $4,650,000 was within the assessable pe riod of two years fixed by the stat utes, the remaining taxes being un assessable and recoverable only by suit. Steps, will be taken to recover this balance. "From one. manufacturer alone it is believed that the total oclletions will ultimately reach $1,150,000. These re coveries represent the seizure of plants, assessment of evaded taxes and negotiations to settle civil liability."

"In Champagne a French division which attacked after, blowing up a trench, was shot down by our fire.

Washington, June 20. General Fel lipe Angeles, artillery expert and Gen eral Villa's right hand man, is in th United States en route to Boston, Maes., to visit his family, according to word that reached the" United' States- govern ment tonight from Us. border agents. These reports said Angeles had cross ed into American territory secretly last Friday night. Officials here were unable to throw" much, light on the reasons for the An geles' departure at a time .when his services to Villa In the military cam paign would, seem to be vitally need-' ed. One explanation advanced waa that Angeles was coming to the Unlfedf States to confer with prominent Mex- leans who have been living in exile, taking- no part in the revolutionary ac tivity but who lately have been plan ning to form a coalition .with some of the forces in the field .to enable them to get the active "moral support" which President Wilson announced in his recent statement the United. States soon would give some group unless the warring factions could agree among tnemseives. Headed for Washington. A news dispatch from El Paso aaldi that General Angeles was on his way to Washington to represent the mill-, tary general and that Miguel Diax Lo- bardo, foreign minister would report at the border In a few days en route to Washington to represent the conven tionalist civil government, in a new peace plan. Enrique C. Llorente, Washington rep resentative f the Vllla-Zapata gov ernment said he had heard nothing of Angeles' movements. The Carranza agency gave out a. statement pointing out that Angeles probably never would return to. Villa's standard and said the Angeles, element admitted that the re-r cent defeat at'Leon was a virtual an nihilation Of ; the .Villista... tardea anA that Villa's days were numbered. Many officials eeem to. take the view also that. Angeles had left because of personal difficulties which began short ly before the battle Celaya, in which Villa lost the .finst . important contest of his military, career.. He was with out the services .of Angeles then and rumors were current at .the time of a personal disagreement.. With Angeles' move coming on the heels of the split between General Carranza and his commander-in-chief General Obregon, seme officials were encouraged to believe that out of the tangle might come a new alignment comprising the best elements of the Carranza and Villa factions forming an organization which might if suc cessful in dominating the situation, be accorded recognition by the United States. Angeles' History. General Angeles served under Pres. ident Diaz and was one of the first to proclaim his loyalty to President Ma dero after the latter was elected Presi dent. During the uprising in Mexico City he stood by Madero until the last, but when General Huerta obtained con trol of the situation he remained in Mexico City under surveillance by Hu erta. The latter finally -gave Angeles a foreign mission with the understand ing it has often been said, that ho would not ' join the Constitutionalists movement then in its infancy. After a trip to Europe Angelas joined General Carranza becoming sub secretary of war. When personal dif ferences between General Carranza and Villa arose, Angeles stood by Villa. Recently there have been reports that Angeles would join one of the groups of Mexicans now in this coun try and said to be planning a new. revolution in Mexico. Eduardo Iturbide and others prominent in Mexican pol itics who declare they are liberal In their political principles, but have no been connected with Carranza, Villa or. Zapata, are understood to be fdenti- ffied with the new movement, and la diplomatic quarters here this organic zation is pointed to as the one which, President Wilson might have had In. mind in his recent statement that if the active military factions did not ac commodate their differences the active moral support of the United States would be given in some "man or group of men" who seemed to give promise of setting up a stable . government. No further information was received today through - official channels from Vera Cruz concerning the resignation of the four cabinet ministers whom General Obregon has insisted should ' be retained.
