To a question as to whether the
climbing of a hill was not too much
for him, von Hindenburg smilingly
said to the emperor: "It is very good
for me to get a little exercise, your
majesty'."
The military correspondent of the
British Wireless service writes as fol
lows concerning the operations on
the western front:
"Although the fighting has been
severe on the Aisne front, particu
larly between the Oise and the
Marne, there has been no very pro
nounced change in the situation. The
main pressure of the enemy is still
directed westward, where he is still
trying to widen his flank in the di
rection cf the forest of Villers-Cot-terets.
German Lines Advanced.
"Yesterday he made advances here
on a 'front between Vatirezis, west of
Soissons, and Botiresches, west of
Chateau Thierry. By the end of the
day his front ran from Vaurezis
r. through Saconin-Et-Breuill, Chadun,
Longpont, Corey and Faverolle to a
point near Chezy and then bent east
ward through Licy to Bouresches.
" Thence the line runs to the Marne,
passing , north of Chateau - Thierry,
which the "French hold.
"Heavy fighting has taken place
on the ground west of Soissons, won
back by the French in their success
ful counter attacks. In spite of the
enemy's efforts the allied gains have
been maintained.
"On the Rheims flank there is very
little change. The enemy made a
very powerful attack with tanks
northwest and north of Rheims and
succeeded in making a little progress
at Fort De La Pomelle. A counter
attack immediately restored the line,
the Germans being thrown back with
a loss of 200 prisoners and four of
, their tanks."

New York, June 2. Agents of the
military intelligence service brought

REVOLUTIONARY
PLOTS FOMENTED
ALL OVER RUSSIA
Counter Movement Unearthed
in Petrograd and Moscow
Attributed - in Part to
Czech-Slav Mutiny.
London, June 2. The discovery in
Moscow and Petrograd of a large
counter revolutionary plot, which
stretches throughout the whole of
Russia, is announced in a Russian
wireless message received here to
night. To this plot is attributable in
part the mutiny of the Czech-Slovak
troops, which have captured several
important railway junctions and lines.
The Soviet executive decided May
2 to undertake the partial calling to
arms of several classes of workmen
ind the poorer peasants in Petrograd
and Moscow and the Kuban and Don
regions.
Moscow in State of Siege.
At the same time Moscow has been
declared in a state of siege. Counter
revolutionaries have been arrested in
considerable numbers and energetic
measures have been taken against the
press. These measures are necessary,
it is announced, owing to the situation
in which the Russian revolution has
been placed.
The question dominating all others
is that of supplying the people with
bread, now that Russia has been de
prived of the Ukraine granary. The
Kuban and Don regions are, accord
in.? to the Russian scheme, menaced
by a counter revolutionary band,
which hopes by means of compli
cations to proVoke intervention by
foreign powers and thus drive the
Russian masses toward famine.
Owners Conceal Flour.
In some regions the large owners
are mobilizing the well-to-do peasants,
with the object of resisting the efforts
of the government to commandeer the
flour depots and are trying to conceal
their stocks for purposes of future
speculation and finally agents of the
counter revolution in the various
cities throughout the country, says the
statement, "are seeking to excite the
starving masses against the Soviet
government."
U. S. to Send Hospital Ship
Over Seas Without Convoy
Washington, June 2. The naval
hospital ship Comfort, formerly the
Ward steamer Saratoga, has been
selected to serve as ambulance ship
between this country and the Ameri
can naval base abroad. It has been
specially refitted to bring home sick
and wounded sailors and marines.
The present plans are to send the
Comfort across without convoy, notP
fying the German government of its
intended voyage and its purpose.
"MASS MURDER" COMMITTED
Germany Held Responsible for Crime y '''
In Russian Official Protest to Berlin.
BY TURKISH ARMY IN CAUCASUS
Washington, June 2. "Mass mur
der" committed by the Turkish army
advancing in the Caucasian districts
has brought a sharp protest from the
Russian, commissioner of foreign af
fairs to the Berlin foreign office,' ad
vices today to the State department
said. Responsibility for the crime, the
protest said, falls on the German gov
ernment, which enabled Turkey to
take possession of Ardahan, Kars and
Batum provinces after the Russian
armies had driven out the Turks.
"The advance of the Turkish army
on the Armenian front was accom
panied by mass murders and women
and children were killed by thou
sands," said the protest

Huns Again Bomb
British Hospitals;
Sister Among Slain
With the British Army in France,
June 2. British Red Cross hospi
tals have again come under the Ger
man bombing scourge. This latest
attack began at 10:30 o'clock Friday
night and the hostile airmen raided
the same group of hospitals which
suffered May 19. Several hospitals
were hit, and the casualty list among
patients and workers is consider
able. One hospital was almost demol
ished when an enemy aviator
dropped an explosive on it after
getting his bearings by letting fall
a brilliant flare which lighted up the
whole district. One sister was killed
at this place and several others
wounded, one of the latter prob
ably fatally.
In one hospital, a ward was de
stroyed and two other wards were
damaged. Several attendants were
killed.
WOOD BIDS
GOOD-BYE TO
HIS DIVISION
''Orders Stand; We Must All
Help Win the War," He
Tells Men He Has
Trained.
An American City, June 2. "These
orders stand and the only thing to do
is to do the best we can all of us
to win the war" were the words of
Major General Leonard Wood in
farewell address to the officers of his
late command, the 89th division of the
national army, which he trained at
Lamp Minston, for overseas service.
General Wood had expected to go to
France at the head of this division
but at the last moment was ordered
to Camp Funston to train another
division. -v
At the request of the troops, it was
learned today, General Wood, before
departing for Camp tunston, review
ed the division at an army camp here
and made a brief speech to the
officers.
Expected to Lead Division.
"I will not say good bye," he told
them, and those who heard him said
his voice trembled with emotion,
but consider it a temporary separa
tion at least I hope so. I have
worked hard with you and you have
done excellent work. I had hoped
very much to take tu over to the
other side. In fact, I had no intima
tion, direct or indirect, of any change
of orders until "we reached here the
other night.
"The orders have been changed
and I am to go back to Funston. I
will leave for there tomorrow morn
ing. I wish you the best of luck and
ask you to keep up the high standard
of conduct and work you have in the
past. There isn't anything to be
said.
Ready to Obey Orders.
"The orders stand and the only
thing to do is the best we can all of
us to win the war. That's what we
are here for; that's what you have
been trained for. I shall follow your
career with the deepest interest, with
just as much interest as though I
were with you. Good luck and God
bless you."
those who witnessed the review
said the troops were never more on
their metal and gave an exhibition
of perfect marching for the benefit of
their former commander.
Eighteen Belgians Executed

Vatican Refutes Manifesto by
Bishop Against Conscription
London, June 2. According to the
Daily Mail, the Vatican has written
to the Catholic Union disclaiming all
knowledge of the Irish bishop's man
ifesto against conscription.
to sign at Brest-Litovsk afforded the
populations of Ardahan, Kars and
Batum the right to decide their own
destinies. Events now taking place; in
these regions show that the policy of
extermination of the Armenian people
which has been applied for some 10
years still continues.
"Russia was successful on the
Turkish front and was forced to re
linquish Ardahan, Kars and Batum
simply because Turkey had Germany
as an ally. The responsibility for
cruelties against the Armenian popu
lation in the regions now occupied by
the Turkish troops;thus falls also on
the German government, ..which en
abled Turkey to take possession of
these districts.

OF ENEMY ORIGIN
St. Louis, June 2. Army officials

border line of secrecy," declared Ad
miral Gleaves, "when I say that a
few days ago there came an alarm
to the heads of the British navy
that the German battleships were
about to come out for the expected
engagement on the high seas. I
know that the British navy heads
gave the first class American battle
ships a post of honor in preparation

HUN PEACE
OFFENSIVE
IN OFFING
Even Pan-German Press Now
Advocates Statement of
Tormc llrnorl Formerly
Only by Radicals.
Amsterdam. June 2. "Is a new Ger
nan peace offensive coming?" is the
question now being asked in political
circles. What has often been advo
cated in German socialistic and rad-
cal organs, namely, that Germany
hould clearly and unequivocally state
the terms upon which she would be
willing to make peace is noyv urged
even hy the pan-Oennan Kreuz Zei-
tiig, which judges the present mo
ment as a most opportune one.
Urges Public Proposal.
The newspaper says with emphasis
it is 'not a peace offer, but a peace
offensive that is wanted, and it be
lieves the present German military
successes cannot fail to add weight
to any concrete proposal Germany
may make now, only, the newspaper
adds, it should be made publicly. -
There need be no apprehension, the
newspaper declared, that peace of
fensive would weaken Germany's po
litical position, and it arguts. that
those who would leave the entire issue
to the sword take too narrow a view
of this war and show no understand
ing of its political consequences.
Threatens Internal Unity.
The Kreuz Zeitung goes on, point
ing out that the absence of a definite
government peace program is destroy
ing internal unity while the, lack of
political activity in the interval be
tween battles tends to hamper the
confidence of the war and to all sorts
of rumors about disagreements be
tween the government and the army
commanders. The government is called upon by
the Kreuz Zeitung to appoint imme
diately a committee consisting of a
leading economist, a colonial expert,
representatives of the army and the
navy and an international jurist under
the presidency, of an able diplomatist
to work out a complete peace pro
gram; but it urges that time presses
and that it must be done quickly.
Demands Peace Offensive.
Amsterdam, June 2. Vorwerts,
commenting on the Krucz Zeitungs
peace affensive mainfesto, complains
that it is a pan-German attempt at a
favorable moment of military success
to tie the German government per
manently to the pan-German an
nexation program, and adds:
"Neverthless, we also demand from
the government a peace offensive and
an immediate announcement of its
concrete war aims. We are not ani
mated by lust of conquest and demand
that the government's copditions shall
be of such nature as can really forth
with lea3 to peace, namely, that they
shall convince our enemies that they
have no oppression, violence or sever
ence of national territory to fear from
a victorious Germany."
Shipyard Strike Ended.
Vancouver, B. C, June 2. The
ship yard strike in British Columbia,
which involved nearly 10,000 men, is
practically ended, according to an an
nouncement by Senator Gideon Rob
ertson, mediator.
MAN TRAP IN NO MAN'S LAND
German Instrument of Torture and Death

DISCOVERED BY U. S. SOLDIERS
Paris, June 2. The latest German
barbarism consists of a man trap sim
ilar to a bear trap discovered in No
Man's land by Corporal Leonardo
Manser and Sergeant Victor L. Vau
pel. United States engineers.
Corporal Manser, after bringing in
the trophy to the trenches, told how
he came to discover it. He said: ,
"We were in the trenches on the

The strength of General Foch's reserves has been felt by,
the armies of the German crown prince in the "'battle for Paris.'
East of the line running from Soissons to Chateau Thierry,
where the Germans Saturday, in a continuation of their mighty

WESTERN UNION
FLIES IN FACE OF
FEDERAL BOARD
Refuses to Submit to Jurisdic
tion of War Labor Body as
to Employes, Taft
Reports.
New York, June 2. The Western
Union Telegraph company has de
clined to submit to the jurisdiction of
the National War Labor board which
sought to adjust the differences be
tween the company and those of its
employes -who are members of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union of
America. ...... . v
The Western Union's declaration
became known when the report of an
executive session of the war board
held here yesterdav, was made public
tonight. Jt emnoaied a report Dy vv.
H. Taft and Frank P. Walsfy joint
chairmen of the board, who con
ferred with Newcomb Garlton, presi
dent of th,e Western Union, in an
effort to .compose the difficulties be
tween the company and those of its
employes who had been dismissed,
it was charged, because they joined
the Commercial Telegraphers' Union
of America.
Taft and Walsh Investigate.
Complaint against the company's
action was taken to the war board
and Mr. Tft and Mr. Walsh made
an investigation, they then submitted
a proposition in a nature of a com-
promise based on the principles
underlying the work of the war
board. This platform recognizes the
right of men to organize and holds
they should be discharged for mem
bership in trades unions or for legit
imate union activities.
This compromise under which the
Western Union was not required to
recogonize the union and by which
the union was bound not to use the
stfike as a weapon, was submitted to
Mr. Carlton, but he declined posi
tively to permit employes of his
company to join the union unless a
referendum of all the company's
workers showed that a majority of
them favored such a step.
' Submit Their Report.
Correspondence between Mr. Taft
and Mr. Carlton followed with the
result that the joint chairmen ended
their report to the board yesterday
with this statement:
"In view of the correspondence, it
does not seem useful to further pro
long the mediation. The construc
tion of our principles as set forth in
Mr. Taft's telegram to Mr. Carlton
leads to the conclusion that the
Western Union Telegraph company
should accept this compromise. V" It
declines, however to do so, or to
submit to the decision of this board
and no further action of the board is,
therefore, recommended, except the

my, hand. Advancing a few steps, I
stumbled on the trap, which had been
released by the pressure of the cane,
On examination I found the trap set
to catch scouts, and chained to stakes
in the ground. I loosened the chain
and brought the trap to our trenches.
The contrivance is three feet long and
has jaws 18 inches wide with teeth
two inches long. It is designed to give
the victim great pain and make him
call for help. This attracts his com
rades who become tragets for a Ger
man machine gun fusillade which re
sults in the annihilation of the entire
party."
The trap is in the Paris Young
Men's Christian association and will
be shipped to America as a trophy.
The Germans, however, still have in
their possession the village of Vaiir
ezis, west of Soissons, and further
south Saconin Et Breuil, Chaudun,
Licy and Bouresches, the last named
directly west of Chateau Thierry. A

Having failed in all their effort t

Germans further to widen their oc
