FROM THE HAGUE
FORMER MADISON STATE NOR.
NAL SCHOOL STUDENT IN THE
PEACE CONFERENCE.

The Minneapolis Journal publishes
a large size picture and an interview
with Miss Grace DeGraff, one of the
fifteen American women who p%artici-
pated in the recent women's peace
conference at The Hague. Miss De
Graf was in Minneapolis returning to
her home at Portland, Ore. The lady
who enjoyed the distinguished honor
Of being a member of the conference
was a former student i'm the Madison
State Normal school, graduating from
that institution in the class of 700.
A sister, Miss Lillian M. DeGraff,
graduated from the same institution
in the class of '04, and still another
sister, Mrs. Alice DeGraff-Thomas,
now of Glendale, N. D., was a mem
bers of the Minnesota Peace society
OF Miss DeGratf's %sojourn in Mime
apolis the Journal says;
Women and war are opposing
forces in the world today and women
eventually Will make felt a powerful
influence for peace, Miss Grace De
Graft of Portland, Ore, said in Min
neapolis today, on her way back
from the women's peace conference
at The Hague. She was the guest to-
day of Miss Grace Baldwin, SIS East
Seventeenth street, and tonight will
meet grade school teachers and mem
bers of hte Minnesota Peace society
at dinner at the bennington.
Miss DeGraff is president OF the
National League of Teachers associa-
tons and was chosen by Jane Adams
of Chicago as one of fifteen repre-
sentative American women to attend
the conference at The Hague.
I'VE do not expect to exert much
influence on the war now raging, y
Miss DeGraff said. But we feel that
world that will be powerful in its eff.
feet as it gains momentum. We are
working not only for today, but for
the years to come"
For four days the American dele
gates to the conference were held uT
i'm the English channel, Miss DeGraf
said, and also on the return trip the
steamer on which they sailed did not
get away until four days after the
puDliSuEu sailing udlFs NeTNOuS ten
sion was felt on the voyage across
and also on the home voyage while
the ship was in waters near to OF
comprising the war M
we met no unfavorable expert
enees other than those incidental tx
the war and the ir%regularity of com
munieation," Miss DeGraff said. "Th'
conference. We feel, was a great sue
cess. Any argument relative to thu
influence of the women's peace move
ment that concerns itself with imme
date effect is not worth TALKING
about. We were not so foolish as Il
expect that we could get together anC
stop the war. But we have set il
motion through the world a peace
propaganda that may prove one O
the greatest movements for war;
elimination that ever was started"

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPLIED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, June special: 1t is
in the eastern war theater-in the
san region around Przemysl and in
the vicinity Of Stry-that the heav-
lest fighting of the wal is still in
progress. Victories for the Teutonic
allies in all these sectors are claimed
by Vienna. Two additional fortifca-
tons to the north of Przemysl are
said to have been stormed by the
Teutons and in the Stry region the
allied attacks against the Russians
are declared to be progressing. The
Russians took the offensive on the
eastern bank of the San and in south
Galieia, but in both regions, accord
ing to Vienna, the Muscovites met de-
feat, with heavy casualties.
On the western line near Some
beke the British have taken at the
point of bayonet the Chateau Pooge,
while the French, according to Paris,
have repulsed counter attacks and
made new progress against the Ger
mans to the southwest of Melville
st. WAIST. The allies also have
thrown back German attacks in
Champagne, and on the outskirts of
the lie Petre forest, the French report
says.
In the recent fighting in the region
around Carency, according to the
French official account, the allies
have taken 5000 prisoners and
buried the bodies Of $500 German
dead. The allied casualties in killed,
wounded or missing is given as 5000,
~two-thirds of whom are said to have
been slightly wounded.
Despite the declaration of Rome
that the Italian invasion of Austria is
everywhere continuing with success,
Vienna asserts that the Italian under
takings have been %unavailing. The
new enemy of the Teutonic allies,
Vienna says, is expanding great guam
titles of ammunition without doing
any material damage to the Austrian
factions.
An Italian attack on the coastal
frontier is declared to have been re-
pulsed with heavy losses.
The Italian fleet has sailed to the
Austrian coast seeking combat with
the Austrian ships, according to the
Italian ministry of marine. The Aus
trians, however. were not sighted and
the Italian ships destroyed by bonn
bardment a wireless station and an
observation point in the Dalmatian
archipelago.
Another ship is declared to have
been sunk by a German submarine In
the North sea. This is the Belgian
trawler Delta B, the crew of which
escaped.

WAR CLOUDS
HANGING Low

Today the United States is confront
ed with the most serious situation II
has Seen forced to face during the En-.
ropean war. After the sinking Of the
Lasitania and several other ships by
submarines, President Wilson notified
the German government that the sink
IN, Of another ship carrying American
passengers, without warning, would be
considered a deliberately unfriendly
act.n
In spite of this warning, press dis
patches state that the Arabic, an an
armed vessel, carrying passengers TO a
neutral port, was sunk by q German
submarine, without notice, and that
several American lives were lost.
Washington advices are to the eff
feet that unless Germany disavows this
act, diplomatic relations with that
country will be severed and that Con-
gress will be called in extraordinary
session to make an appropriation Of
half a billion dollars to get in readiness
fo1 war.
AL the signs would seem to indicate
that Germany is anxious for war with
this country. In that event, with her
feet of submarines, she could probably
stop the shipment of munitions of war
and foodstuffs from this country to the
Allies, at least for a time.
Whatever may be the outcome over
the Arabic incident, it will %undoubted-
y have the effect Of the United States
making adequate preparation for war,
whether it comes or not.
