Mrs Willard had been accompanying

SAYS ASQUITH
PERVERTS TRUTH
ON AMMUNITION
Scene in House of Commons When Pre-
mier is Heckled by
Liberal Member.

| London, June 29.-Premier Asquiths
authority for the statement in his speech
at Newcastle April 20 that neither Great
Britain nor her allies was hampered by
lack of ammunition was again demand
ed Of the cabinet leader in the House
of Commons yesterday afternoon, and
his refusal to give information on the
subject was met with the assertion that
his statement was absolutely without
foundation" Sir Arthur B. Markham,
liberal leader member for the Mansfield
division of Nottinghamshire, who raised
the point and angrily charged the pre-
mier with perverting the truth, attempt
ed to heckle Mr.. Asquith. Sir Arthur
said the original statement cast slur
upon Field Marshal Sir John French,
who was in no way responsible for it.
Mr.. Asquith's only reply was that Sir
Arthur Markham was raising just the
sort OF point which would be most I'M
desirable for both the interests OF the
army and the campaign to raise muni-
tons, and when the premier refused to
be drawn further. Sir Arthur blurted out:
rs it in the interest OF the nation
that the prime minister should make
statement which is absolutely without
foundation?'
Cries of ''shamel" and protestation of
its the TRUTH" led to brief excite

A Report from the Isonzo
Causes Great Joy in
Rome
TURKISH ENVOY
DEMANDS PASSPORTS
Italian Fleet May Attack the
Austrian Base at
Pola

Rome, June 29.-The Turkish ambas
sador to Italy, Mehmed Naby Bey, visit
cd the foreign office late Saturday anc
demanded his passports. This step EN-
phasizes the report that Italy was about
to join in the Dardanelles operations.
| The capture of Gorilla, announced yes
terday in reports from Milan, caused
great Joy in Rome where the IsonzC
campaign is being eagerly followed.
1t was officially denied yesterday that
the cabinet council had decided upon an
Italian expedition to the Dardanelles and
had already dispatched warships thither
Commenting that an official denial may
be more useful than accurate, The Tri-
buna indicates that Sundays news of the
co operation OF Italy with the Anglo.
French forces at the Dardanelles was not
censored, although yesterday it was con-
tradicted. 1t draws the conclusion that
wartime denisls are justifiable.
The delayed departure of the Turkish
diplomatic esta Adjustment here appears to
be somewhat of a mystery, for although
war has not been formally declared be-
tween Italy on the one hand and Turkey
or Germany on the other, formalities
will be the least OF considerations when
the time comes for action. Tripolitan
rebels who have been captured confess
that they were differed by Turco- Ger
mans, and they added that the sultan's
emissaries are preaching holy war and
melting the natives to throw off Italian
rule. Thus evidence is available that
Turkey considers Italy an enemy, and
hence hostilities on ltaly's part would be
justified without declaration of war
According to report from Milan. Co
rizia has been captured by the Italians,
who have made marked progress on the
lsonzo front in the last few days. A
heavy engagement has been under way
for more than two weeks in the Gorilla
district.
After Z occupation OF the Carso Mills
operations were extended to the flooded |
district along the Monfalcone canal. In

yineers hampered the movement of Ital |

JAPAN AND CHINA

Pekin, June 29.--Warning that th'
United States would not recognize any
agreement between China and Japar
which impaired American rights in China
or endangered the so-caled "open door
policy, was conveyed to the governments
OF both China and Japan in an identical

cred about May Is.
The note was handed to the foreign
offices of both countries week after
China had acceded to the demands con-
tanned in the Japanese ultimatum insist
ing upon concessions from the former
nation The note was in substance as
follows:
"In view Of the negotiations which
now are pending between the government
OF China and the government of Japan,
and of the agreements which have been
reached as result thereof, the govern
ment of the United States has the honor
to notify the government OF the Chinese
republic that it cannot recognize any
agreement or undertaking which has been
entered into. or which may be entered
into, between the governments of China
and Japan impairing the treaty rights OF
the United States and its citizens in
China, the political or territorial integ-
rity OF the republic OF China or the in
ternational policy relative to China, com
monty known as the open door policy.
An identical note has been transmitted

THE WAR TODAY

German military activities, while
Iesseuing in the Galiciaa and southern
Poland war fields. apparently are in
full swing again along the front west
and northwest of Warsaw. The latest
official statement from Petrograd in
dicates this in recording attacks on
the Russian positions at several
points.
Heavy losses were inflicted on the
Germans in an assault near Jednoro-
jetz in the Prasnysz district. the Rus
SLAMS report. but near Bolimow, al
most directly west Of Warsaw, an al
tack in which gases were employed re-
suited in the storming of first line
trenches. In some of these the Ger
mans retained a foothoId. The fight
ing there was reported as continuing.
Perograd declares that the blow
dealt the Austrians south of Lublin is
being followed up. the Teutonic forces
there being in retreat with the Rus
SLAMS in pursuit.
A Petrograd cores spoEdenJ describes
The check to the AUstriaus as result
ing from a tactical blunder by Arch
duke Joseph Ferdinand, who in two
swift an advance left his army's left
wing uncovered, enabling the Rus
SLAMS 10 deliver an attack which cost
the Austrians $4,000 men.
From Pretoria in South Africa
comes news that General Botha at the
head Of the British forces has com
pleted the conquest OF German South
west Africa, accomplishing the sur
render of all the German military
forces there.
A brief statement from Rome says
there are no important changes along
the Austro- italian battle line, but that
the action on the various fronts is
developing regularly"

WANTS TO BLOCK
STATE BUSINESS
j, B. Fergus Of Chicago Files Iniunc-
tioHs to Stop All Appropriation
of Legislature.

Springfield, III. July 9.-Four suits
were filed in the sangamou county
circuit court here today asking in
functions restraining Andrew Russell.
state treasurer, from paying appro-
priations made by the last legislature.
The items approximate 100000 The
bills were signed by John B. Fergus OF
933 Gait avenue, Chicago. described as
a tax payer, and were brought by Fay
ette S. Munro, an attorney and former
member OF the legislature from High
land park with John A Watson and
Robert +. k0lD as counsel.
Governor Dunno. member OF the leg
islature and other high state officials,
in general we're pictured in a state
ment from Mr. Munro accompanying
the bills. as having been in collusi0n
through the sessions of the legislature
just closed TO muIct the state treas
ury for Illegal increases in their own
salaries ana for the lavish spending of
public funds.
Bills of an even more sweeping ma
ture are to follow those filed today ac-
cOrding TO Mr. Munro, and Will be
fled for the purpose of tying up the
entire s50.000.000 of appropriations
made by the legislature.
one OF the sensational features OF
the bin calls attention to a hitherto
little observed senate resolution which
provides Lieutenant Governor Barrett
O'Hara with a Chicago Office at state
expense for the period of 1856. It
was designed to take care Of state
business while the legislature was not
In session. and it's expenditures we're
limited to $50 1000.
Among the alleged extravagances
are $4,000 worth Of knives, combs,
hair brushes and fountain pens which
Secretary of State Stevenson bought
for the legislature out OF state funds.
Attack is made on the salary increase
voted.
