"My best thanks for the expression

revolt is common among both the
military and civil population, accord
ing to Americans who arrived here
tonight on a Norwegian liner from
Germany or adjacent neutral coun

is widespread in the German army,

you could know the feeling that lies

suspecting that she was an American.
She quoted a private soldier as saying
to her:. ?
"Some day we are all going to put
down our arms. Why should we
fight? Our officers now, instead of
leading us, go behind us with their
guns at our backs."
Soldiers Convalesce Slowly.
Miss Wurzbcrg is the daughter of
Frederick Wurzberg, a naturalized
American. She has lived six years in
Germany with her family. She said
soldiers in the hospitals convalesce
slowly because of the poor food they
receive.
Carl E. Olivarius, a Milwaukee law
yer, who returned from a trip
through Norway, Sweden and Den
mark, said food is so scarce in those
countries that little can be spared
Germany. Reporting conversations
with travelers from the Teuton em
pire, he said:
"No one in Germany speaks of vic
tory. They always talk of food. The
war. in the minds of the civilian popu
lation, has become secondary to ef-1
forts to get enough to eat." j
Leo Rains of Milwaukee, who lias
resided the last five years in Dresden,
declared that Saxony is ill supplied
with food, but conditions in Berlin
and other large cities are "terrible."

man Arrested.
Gary, Ind., June 23. Sixty-two
bodies of Hagenback-Wallace circus
employes who perished in the wreck
six miles west of here early yester
day were in temporary morgues here
and at Hammond tonight. Circus
officers made frantic efforts to get a
list of the victims. Only 24 of the
bodies have been identified. Most of
the other corpses are charred and
mangled beyond recognition.
Edward H. Ballard, general mau
ager of. the circus, tonight issued a
statement, .saying figures 'I indicated
that the death list would total 85.
He said that a hastily check-up of the
scattered employes showed a list of
60 missing, in addition to the 24 iden
tified dead. It is said most of the
missing are "razor backs," a number
of whom are negroes.
F. S. Whipple,, trainmaster, also
has been given up as dead.'
Some Bodies Cremated.
Parts of two bodies, cremated in
the furnace of tangled steel and tim
bers that , resulted when a Michigan
Central equipment traiii crumbled the
flimsy circus coaches, were dug out
tonight.
Reduced to Ashes.
Authorities said that if the death
list is as great as estimated by cir
cus men, additional bodies probably
were reduced to ashes. An inquest
will be held in Hammond in the
morning. Gustave Klauss, fireman
of the troop train of empty Pullmans
that demolished the circus coaches,

"It is certainly against this point

QUICK REPULSE
FOR FOE ATTACK
NEAR STRAZEELE
Germans Surge Toward British
Positions in Early Morning,
But Retreat Under With
ering Fire.
With tie British Army in France,
June 23.-f-An attempt to capture some
British positions on the high ground
east of Strazeele this morning met
with a complete reverse for the ene
my. The attack was a local one and
was preceded by a heavy bombard
ment that began about 6 o'clock and
was maintained with great intensity
for a considerable time.
At the conclusion of the artillery
preparation the German infantry
along a narrow sector suged forward
for the assault, but as they pushed

a little, they were forced to retire.
During the night the British con
ducted a raid near Bucquoy with
tanks, which never before had been
used for raiding. The big engines
went over the top shortly before mid.
night, followed by infantry.
Held Up by Machine Guns.
The rifle men met with strong op
position and were held up by a heavy
machine gun fire, but the tanks pro
ceeded on their business and for two
hours trundled about the enemy ter
ritory, leaving the mark of their guns
wherever they went. The tanks did
good execution and prisoners were
brought back.
Two successful raids also were
made into German positions near
Morlancourt, during the night.
On the Belgian front, King Albert's
troops carried out a raid northwest
of St. Julian that resulted in a hot
fight at a strong concrete blockhouse.
The Belgians stormed this position
and cleared it out, capturing eight
Germans who appeared to be all the
men loft alive in the fort.
Night Attack Near Rheims.
Tan's, June 23. German forces last
night attacked the entente allied po
sitions at Bligny, about eight miles
southwest of Rheims, and succeeded
temporarily in gaining a foothold, the
war office announced today. A vig
orous counter attack, instituted by
Italian troops, quickly ejected the
enemy and reestablished the line in
its entirety.

ITALIAN GUNS
HARASS FOE
IN RETREAT
Austrians Unlikely to Escape
Without Large Addition to
Casualties of 180,000
Sustained to Date.
(By Associated Pnm.)
The first phase of the Austrian of
fensive has ended in failure and de
feat. The culmination of what was in
tended to be the crushing of Italy
between the jaws of the Austrian
pincers is the rout of the invaders.
With their backs to , the swollen
Piave the Austrians for several days
had been trying to ward off the vi
cious counter attacks of the Italians
and save the situation. Now they are
endeavoring, and still under great
pressure to ford the stream and
reach the safety of tHe eastern bank.
From the Montello plateau to the
Adriatic sea the enemy is in re
treat. Already his losses are esti
mated at 180,000 men and the chances
of his escape without additional heavy
casualties and men made .prisoner
seem remote.
Under Heavy Fir.
Large numbers of pontoon bridges
that the Austrians threw across the
Piave have been swept away by th
now torrential stream, and on all
the sectors of the 33-mile front where
they gained edges of the Venetian
plain they are being sorely harassed
by the fire of the Italian guns and
rifles and by the machine gun fire
and bombs of the allied aviators who
have done such notable execution
since the attempted drive was started.
Jbxtensive preparations had been
made by the Austrians for what was
to be the death blow to King Victor
Emmanuel's men. Thousands upon
thousands of men, many of them
brought from the Russian and Rou
manian fronts, and guns and stores in
tremendous quantities had been par
celed among the various commanders
for the drive over the battle arc of
virtually 100 miles, running from the
Asiago plateau to the Piave and then
to the sea.
Undoubtedly the Austrian high
command had built largely for suc
cess on the belief that the Italian
morale had been shattered. The first
onslaught met a rejuvenated army
which fought gallantly, never ceding
an inch unless it -was dearly paid for.
Aiding? the Italians in the. mountains'
were British and French armies. 'Ter.
ritory taken in the mountains, vas al
most as quickly regained and, the en
emy held in check. , ,
. Fall Back Under Pressure
Along the Tiave, especially on the
Montello plateau, the gateway to. the
Venetian plains from the northeast,
and at. several points farther south,
where the Austrians succeeded , in
crossing the river, the Italians every
where imposed such strength against
the enemy that he was unable to en
large his gains and then with re
doubled efforts forced him to com
mence a retrograde movement which
has developed into disordered flight.
Large numbers of the enemy have,
been1 reported recently as coming up
behind the northern line in the moun
tain region, and it is not improbable
that shortly the second phase of the
battle will begin. Complete confidence
is felt in the Italian and other allied
commands, however, that the enemy
will meet foemen of superior quality
and that his efforts will go for naught.
On the battle front in France and
Flanders tile Germans are holding
their men to the trenches, except for
small attacks here and there. There
is no indication that for the present
it is their intenetion to launch an
other big offensive. Both the British
and French 'have carried out suc
cessfully several minor operations and
repulsed all the enemy's maneuvers.
Near Bligny in the Marne region the
Germans succeeded in gaining. footing
in a trench, but the Italian contingent
immediately ejected them.
Crippled War Lecturer
Arrested as Imposter
Portland, Ore., June 23. Thomas
W. Blake, who recently arrived here
from San Francisco and who claimed
to be a captain, late of the British
army, was arrested today at the re
quest of government agents. It is
charged that he is an imposter.
Blake has been giving lectures on
the war, ostensibly for the benefit of
the Red Cross, it is alleged. He has
suffered the loss of one eye and one
arm and claimed to have been wound
ed 47 times and to have escaped from
a German prison camp, the authori
ties stated.
Russians Appeal to Wilson
- For Intervention in Russia
London, June 23. An earnest plea
for intervention in Russia, either
economic or armed, has been sent to
President Wilson by a-large group
of Russians here. The plea is set
forth in a long cablegram delivered
to the American embassy for trans
mission to Washington. It is signed
by approximately 100 persons, some
prominent in the Kerensky govern
ment. It is understood that a simi
lar appeal will be made by the Rus
sian ambassador at Washington.
The appeal says that with the
natural wealth of Russia iri its hands,
Germany can wage war for a long
period despite the blockade, and it is
added that to set up. a serious barri
cade to further penetrations by the
Important Conference
Held at Headquarters
Of General Pershing
Paris, June 23. Premier Clemen
ceau passed the day at American
headquarters. He was accompanied
by Capt. Andre Tardieu, the French
high commissioner to the United
States and recently appointed head
of the new department for Franco
American co-operation in the war.
They took luncheon with General
Pershing and afterwards inspected
the American troops.
An important military conference
was held during the afternoon.
Among those present were M. Cle
menceau. General Pershing, General
Foch, who came especially for the
occasion; Captain Tardieu, Major
General McAndrew and Generals
Mordacq and Weggand.
Questions concerning Franco
American co-operation were dis
cussed and the measures to be taken
within the next few months in con
cert were talked over. Complete
agreement was reached on all
pointi.
- The troops quartered where the
inspection was held belong to a di
vision which landed less than a week
ago, They were presented to M.
Clemenceau by General Pershing
and Major General McAndrew. The
magnificent bearing of the men and
their perfect training strongly im
pressed the premier, who chatted
with them and realired for himself
their desire to get into the line as
early as possible and their determi
nation to win.
The premier spoke a few words to
the officers, expressive of the great
confidence of France in the men
from overseas and of thanks for the
aid ahe was receiving from America
at the decisive hour of the struggle
for the liberty of the world.
AUTHORITY IS
GIVEN TO BOOST
PRICE0F WHEAT
Increased Freight Rates and
Deadlock Over Fixing $2.50
Minimum in Congress Re
garded as Reasons.
Washington, June 23.-Blanket
authority to ' increase the price of
wheat at primary ;ani ethef markets
with the approval of'.''Foe)d.AdminU
'ttratof Hoovtr above ft e" $220-Ti
bushel minimum price guaranteed by
presidential proclamation last Febru
ary, is given the food administration
grain corporation in New York by an
executive order of the president The
order, issued under the authority of
the food control law, was made public-today
by Mr. Hoover.
The corporation is authorized to in
crease its capital stock from $50,000
000 to $150,000,000 in shares of par
value of $100 each. All . the stock
will be owned by the government and
will be purchased , by the food ad
ministration as the necessity arises
to maintain the present $2.20 price,
and any increases authorized.
While no explanation of the order
was given either at the 'food admini
stration or the white house, two con
siderations were believed to have in
fluenced the president's decision to
permit the grain corporation to pay
higher prices for wheat. The first
was the increased freight rates which
will become effective Tuesday.
Growers must bear this increase and
without an advance in the price of
wheat their profits would be mate
rially reduced.
The second was believed to be the
situation resulting from the deadlock
in congress over the senate's amend
ment to the annual agricultural ap
propriation bill increaing the mini
mum guaranteed price for wheat to
$2.50 a bushel.
U-Boat Attacks Stimulate
Recruiting; 450,000 in Navy
Washington, June 23. The appear
ance of German submarines off the
Atlantic coast and the exploits of the
marines in France have so stimulated
recruiting that the enlisted personnel
of the navy now totals 450,00026,285
officers and 423,808. men.
Secretary Daniels announced to
night that enlistments in the naval re
serve the first week of this month,
when it became known that the sea
wolves were preying on shipping off
the American coast, totaled 14,406, a
record for this branch of the service,
while in the following week 12,308
men were added.
Germans is possible only by force
of arms.
An alternative to an armed inter
vention is recognized, however, in an
economic campaign. To prevent
Russia from falling, into the hands
of the Germans, whether willingly or
unwillingly, prompt action 'by the
allies looking toward rehabilitation is
necessary, it is urged. .
"If . neither , military nor ecnomic
aid is given, Russia may be drawn be
fore long into the sphere of German
influence," the plea ; declares. "De
lay is dangerous. The allies must find
in themselves sufficient political fore
sight and energy to give effect to
those remrakable words of 'yours:
'We intend to stand by Russia as we
stood by France.' "
