Traffic officer Harkins and Policeman leff Ruddy were trailing a clue to sev- >ral Ihefls from South Main sireet stor- ss whon they found the four young des¬ peradoes and rect)finized them as mem¬ ber.s ol a gang of ten recently taken liefore Judge Fuller and dismissed wilh reprimands. Al the station house it was noticed all were under the in- fliicn';e of liquor and a quart bottle, almost empty, was found on the old¬ est, l-'recly they admitted their of- fen.ses and agreed to uncover their "snuck" in the officers would accom¬ pany them to a place in the rear of the business thoroughfare. Babies shoes, jiistols, baseball-s and a varied assort¬ ment of toys were discovered. Mrs. Mr-riels ha.s laken charge of the case and lhe boys will be taken before Judge Puller again to-morrow.
The Nanlicoke case was even more serious than that of the Wilkes-Barre boys. Thomas Kozak, fourien years old, of West I'nion street, that town and Ldward Tyburski, twelve years old. are beinj; held on charges that in- iltide the very serious one of highway iiihber.\. for the lads are accused of holding up a West Nanlicoke girl on the bridge connecting that town wilh West .Nanticoke and robbing her of a small   sum   of  monev.       .\     prominent
.salonkeeper of N.T.nticoke was robbed of $40, according to the police, through the machinations of Kozak and Tybur¬ ski and the Kirby store of this city ia said lo have suffered the loss of about $.")0 worth of goods when the lads visit¬ ed il on circus day.
Chief of Police CJarrison and Police¬ man Ben Wieneski have drawn a. com¬ plele case about the activities of the Nanticoke boys. Thefts the lads are supposed to have committed include bicycles, automobile goods, tools, pro¬ visions and auto lamps. One of the bikes was stolen in this city and the olher was taken from Adolp Leventhal, who also was deprived of a good auto pump. Two Xanticoke bakeries were robbed of cakes and pies.
Next to the attack on the ¦•We.'rt Nanlicoke girl the most serious charge brought against Kozak and Tyburski involves the theft of $40 from a Nanti¬ coke saloonman. His ten-year-old son was taken Into partnership by the boys for this crime, according to the police, but the money is supposed to have been evenly divided between the orignial two. Tybur.^ki said he spent his share, but Kozak led Garrison and Wieneski to an abandoned cellar and dug up a lin can containing most of his. Mrs. Bertels will lake the boys before Judge Fuller tomorrow.

Confidence in business prospects has prompted the owners of the Wilkes¬ Barre Silk company to prepare for the erection of a large addition lo the com¬ pany's mills at the Kmpire. Plans are Iieing pre()ered by a Scranton architect and it is expected that these will be fin¬ ished so that work may be started with¬ in a short time.

London, .June. 0. -The .Xustro-tJer- man armies advancing from I'rzemysl, have broken the Russian resistance on the heights of Medyka, according to of¬ ficial advices from \ienna, and again are sweeping forward toward Lemberg. The action ai .Medyka, however, il is believed here, was merely a rear guard aclion on the part of the Rus.-iians lo hamper the Teuton advance while the Czars forces strengthened their lines in the Grodek lakes region. At this point Petrograd, claims, the Teutons are "cer- taiti lo meet strenuous opposition, due in part to the natural strength of the Russian positions and to the fact thai heavy re-enforcements have been broughi up to stiffen the Ru.«=sian lines. Russians in  Bad Way.
Berlin.h owever. declares that the armies under (Jeneral Linslngen which broke the Russian defense at Slryj and effected a crossing of the river in the Lake region are now moving north¬ eastward. If the Russians offer re¬ sistance here, it is asserted by German miliuiry e.xperts. they will find them¬ selves in a trap from which escape will be  difflcull  and  perilous.
Meanwhile the Austrian forces under General Hoehme-ErmoUi. advancing from the souili have reached Mosciska This advance is gaining nioiucntum diiy by   day.   following   the  check  adm'nis-

MUST  WIN   IT  TO   INVADE
London, .lune :.. -While it is too f-arly to give an opinion of the im- ('oriancc of the ro-capture of Przem.\ sl on tho ultimate result of the war, yet it is safe to a.-suifle that this event mu.«t f-.xercise a very important influer|ce on the military situation in western Gali- i-i,-'.
The future defense of the place is likely to be organized with far greater method liy the German staff that, its original defense by the .\ustrians and il is prodnent to assume It will be en¬ dowed witli artillery at least as power¬ ful as any that may be brought against il.
Great exertions d(Uil)tlcss will be made to supply the new garrison with .•¦lores of food and munitions and wilh all lhe modern auxiliaries of siege war¬ fare sucli as air craft, moior cars and iiiaciiino guns. It may also be pre- ilicled that the garrison will be suil- :ible and ihal the commandment of the ph'ce wil be carefully chosen.
.An interval must olap.se before these preparations can be made effective. If tb.e Russians hud been left ju5t a liltle more leisure there is no reason to doubt that they would have made Przemysl .IS hard to rei'aplure as Warsaw and Ivangorod proved to the German offen¬ sive.
Circumsir.nces therefoie point to a fierce struggle in the open Held whose focus will be in the triangle of Lem¬ berg, .laroslav and Przemysl, but which will extend far to the flanks. The •¦i-iL-ule will be for a tactical victory which will decide the superiority of oin' .11 lllc other combatant in those regions.
If this victory is gained by the Rus¬ sians within the next iwo or three weeks, they may hope to recover the lost fortress in a fresh forward rush before the Germanir forces have made It secure, just as the Germans recov¬ ered il before the Russians secured their prize by methodical preparations aeainst the formidable attack which look  them  by  surprise.

Rome, .lune 5.—Thre hundred thous¬ and Italians have now l>en massed against the Austrians on th- lefl bank of the Isonzo. Two hundred thousand Austrians it Is estimated ,-iere are manning the hostile works. The battle is raging wilh extreme violence.
