der Of Przemysl Is Batterng Its
Way Toward Frontier

London. June 7.--If the Germans
have transferred troops from the east
to the west as reported, they have
held sufficient men on the eastern
front to continue without relaxation
the offensive that has carried them
and the Austrians almost across Ga
licia.
The forces which compelled Pre-.
mysl to surrender are battering their
way eastward and, according to both
the German and Austrian official
communications. are at one point in
the southeast hardly more than srS'
ty miles from the Russian frontier.
The troops which swept through Stry
have continued further west until
they are thirty miles beyond that
town and equally be"ond Lemberg

Further north they are eighteen
miles to the east of Przemysl. So
that, roughly speaking, the encircline
movement on Lemberg is duplicating
that at Przemysl.
The Germans also are on the Of
fensive in the Baltic provinces. Their
official statement records the cross

Seven Jurors
Request Judge
to be Leniient
Would Prevent Anderson Kyle From
Receiving the Maximum
Sentence

Ogden, June Seven OF the twelve
jurors who found Anderson Kyle
guilty of involuntary manslaUghter
presented a petition to Judge J. A.
Howell today asking the court to use
leniency in passing sentence.
John Willis, counsel for Kyle, said
the petition was voluntary on the
part of the seven. He said he had
learned that seven of the jurors dur
ing the elaboration OF the jury had
stood out for time in favor of &C.
quittal. The signers of the petition
he said, he believed were the seven
who favored the discharge of the
prisoner.
Objection to the courts being len.
lent was made by John C. Ravis, dis.
trict attorney. Inasmuch as the jury
had reduced the crime charged from
murder in the first degree to involun-
tary manslaughter, he intimated that
the maximum sentence Of one year
in the county jail would not be too Sc
we're.
Judge Howell said he was inclined
to heed the request of the jurors and
announced he would postpone sen.
fencing Kyle until Wednesday. In
the meantime he plans to meet with
the jurors who signed the petition 70
obtain their views in the matter.
Kyle was charged with having

MONKS CAUGHT IN
ACT OF SIGNALLING

Bari, Italy, June Certain de-
tails Of the recent arrest here OF
five Dominican monks, whose monas.
terry windows looked out over the
Adriatic has been made public.
An army lieutenant, noticing the
flashing rays of strong light, traced
them to the monastery. The monk in
charge declared there were only three
monks in the building. A second
monk appeared, but the lieutenant
could not locate the third. Finally
he broke down the door of a cell and
found within a monk who had war
map upon which were annotations
of military value.
All three of the monks said the
upper story of the monastery was
not in use. Investigation showed
that on the upper floor there had
been set up near a window a large
reflector for signaling purposes. Here
also, two monks were found. All
were taken into custody.
The search OF the lieutenant re.
vealed a large number of documents
and notes prepared by the monks,
together with letters from colleagues
in Vienna.
Under the law It Is impossible for
the Italian authorities to search the
premises of religious pstitutions un.
less they have direct evidence Of acts
believed to be against the interests
Of the state.

We Want Com.
is the Vain Cry IN
Starving Mexico

Galveston, June Mail advices
from Mexico City tell of distressing
conditions there.
For the last three days" says a
letter dated May %, "the sessions of
the so called national convention in
the chamber of deputies building have
been scenes of the widest disorder
Not only the galleries but at times
the floor and speakers tribune have
been rushed by hordes of hungry men
women and children.
"The shouts of we want corn
drowned all others and even the show
of bayonets and the firing of the sol.
diers over the heads of the mob have
not checked their vain and piteous
search for food. The Red Cross he's
been kept busy carrying off women
and children and in some cases old
men. crushed or overcome in these
manifestations.
Ten thousand gathered outside of
the chamber today and nearly 300
were carried off on stretchers. Act
ing President General Rogue Con.
zalez Cara appeared before the con-
vention delegates and a portion of
the mob to tell them that the treas
ury was empty the fields laid waste
by the contending revolutionaries
and that the only hope for the COM
ing winter was that all Mexicans lay
down their arms and begin the till
ing of the fields. Repeatedly the
crowds answered him, saying Give us
corn. Our women and children are
dying of hunger. Give us corn V
"a comparatively small supply was
obtained from the foreign relief com.
mittee and this assuaged the wants
Of the day
Crops everywhere are short and
in all save five of the twenty-seven
states of Mexico there Is absolute
want, with the new harvest many
months away and mythical because
to a large extent implanted. Even
states as productive as Morelos and
Guanajuato are calling for corn
while armies turn their cavalry into
anything green to be found and kill
cattle and other farm animals for
their hides. It Is estimated that un'
less relief comes from the outside
more than 100000 people will be
in danger OF starvation. In normal
times 1t requires approximately l.,
| 100000 tons of corn to feed these
100000. Farmers and grain deal
ers say this must be obtained In the
United States, but as Mexico has nc
money to pay for even a part Of what
Is needed she will be compelled to
throw herself on the charity of the
United States, according to these AL
thorities."
Another, letter describing similar
conditions, says:
"While our residents are dying OF
hunger, soldiers Of Zapata are going
around robbing, stealing, killing and
destroying. At night naked children
go to the doorsteps of the richer
Mexicans to plead for food. Ambu
lances are removing their bodies by
the hundreds every day. 1t is esti
mated that the death rate is 500
persons a day"
