AUSTRSANS ARE
DEMORALIZED
Success of Russian Offensive Has
Welded Together Diverse
Elements.
Petrograd, July 4. Austrian troops
have been demoralized by the ferocity
of the Russian offensive.
The free nation's fighting men seem
to have been endowed with super
fighting qualities that lead them to
incredible strength in pressing the
enemy backward.
In Petrograd the success of the first
offensive welded together many di
verse elements.
The workmen's and soldiers' con
gress today expressed elation at the
success of the fighting and appealed
to the people for support.
"The soldiers and officers," the reso
lution recited, "have been tempered
in the fires of the revolution. They
will throw themselves bodily into tht
fight. The workmen ar.d soldiers
congress and the peasants union
greet the defenders of the revolution,
who are giving their blood for liberty
and for universal peace.
Country Must Concentrate.
"We summon the country to con
centrate its efforts to help the army.
Let the peasants give the army brad.
Workmen, let the army never fail for
lack of munitions. Citizens and offi
cers at the rear, do not fail to prepare
to go to the front.
"Long life to the revolution and
long live the army."
War department officials asserted
their reports showed that the fighting
was severe, but that the Russian ar
mies were battling enthusiastically.
The Cossacks' congress had assem
bled to hear speeches from Charles
Edward Russell and James Duncan,
members of the American mission.
During the meeting word was received
of the latest successes achieved by
the fighters. Many Cossacks bolted
from the hall, jumped on their horses
and, wildly cheering, spread the news
as they galloped through the city.
Minister of War Kerensky was re
ported today to have been in the cen
ter of the fighting.
$100 Reward, $100

FRENCH ARMIES JOIN
WITH UNITED STATES
TO CELEBRATE FOURTH
French Front, in France, July 4.
General Petain, commander-in-chief of
the French armies operating on the
French front, issued the following
general order:
"Today, independence day celebra
tion of the United States, the first
American troops which have disem
barked in France, will march in Paris.
Later they will join us on the front.
Let us salute these new companions
in arms who without thought of gain
nor of conquest but with the simple
desire of defending the cause of right
and liberty have come to take their
places in the ranks beside us.
"Others are preparing to follow
them. They will soon be on our soil.
The United States means to put at
our ' disposition, without reckoning
their soldiers, their factories, their
vessels ar.d their entire country. They
want to pay a hundred fold the debt
of gratitude which they owe to La
Fayette and his companions.
"From all "the points of the front a
single shout on this? July 4 will be
heard: 'Honor to the great sister!
Long live the United States'!"
HOT PURSUIT STRTED
FOR GERMAN SPIES
Washington, D. C, July 4. Ger
many's spy system, betrayer of Amer
ica's expeditionary forces, must be
ousted from America.
That mandate went forth today
from the war and navy heads, in the
midst of the nation's rejeicin.? over
America's victory in her rr2t battle
of the war.
Secret agents of this nrtion were
put to work today in the most thor
ough search for spies yet undertaken.
The spy angle in this instance is
the most serious yet encountered,
though there was apparent proof that
the Germans had advance information
of the going of the American patrol
to IZarope.
Come Before Publics tio.i.
As officials saw it today, the dan
gerous part of the situation must
have come before publication, inas
much as the submarines lurked on a
path they had rot heretofore used
and were in such fores as to show
they had prepared in advance.
Officials are positive that an almost
constant flow of information reaches
Berlin direct from this nation, as
evidenced by the fact that allied ship
ments, carefully secreted, are pub
lished in Berlin papers.
Two possible avenues of communi
cation are open: r irst, serret wire
less messages.
Second, embassies wh'ch may be
friendly to Germany, wno have ac
cess to cables and use of codes.
Mexico has a powerful wireless in
Yucatan. This has been known for
some time, though officials have said
this was not Germany's wiveiess base.
