Cedar Rapids. Nov. 1S.-Since April
last, the Cedar Rapids mails have
been flooded with letters of so vile
nature that the police department and
postoffice authorities have been put
ting forth every effort to learn the
identity of the writer. The letters were
directed to city officials, members of
the police department and private in
dividuals. and came SO frequently that
it was evident that the writer spent
most of his spare time connecting
them. In addition to scores of the let
tiers, all of an obscene nature, which
were sent thru the mails, letters were
placed in mail boxes at private homes,

WATERLOO VETERAN MISSING.
William Hall Suddenly Disappears ans

Long Search Is Fruitless.
Waterloo, Nov. 16.-Relatives and
friends of William Hall, the aged civil
i. veteran who disappeared from his
home. 321 Sixth street west, last Fri
~, evening were gravely concern ed
about him today after the long search
had proven futile. Telegram inquiries
to other cities have failed to throw any
light on the mysterious disappearance
and the local police have searched in
vain for some clew which might lead
to the old soldiers discovery
In police circles it was thought at
first that Mr.. Hall had probably SUI
fered some temporary mental dis
turbance, but this theory was dis
credited by members of the family,
who assert that he was in the best Of
health and that he could have no rea-
sons for wanting to leave home.
The family is inclined to think that
foul play may be connected with the
incident They say that Mr.. Hall had
at least $50 with him Friday and they

ROME, June 2.-Bombardment of the
Austrian town of Mori, three miles from

Heavy rains have seriously hampered

Rovereto.
Weather conditions have made II i'm

The heavy rainfall has converted the
mountain roads leading to the heights
into slippery paths. Thus far 1t has
been impossible to drag heavy guns up
the mountain side to shell the outer
defenses of Rovereto.
Though the capture of Rovereto and
a march northward to Trentino IL con-

today that neutral conditions give the
Austrians a tremendous advantage in
defending the Adige valley around
Mori.
The enemy Is entrenched behind g
huge pile of rock deposited by a land
slide of centuries ago. Behind this ad-
vanced position are row after row OF
rock barricades, thrown up along the
railway from Mort to Rovereto. From
these entertainments machine guns can
play disastrously on an invading force
marching up the Adige.
The fighting around Rovereto is at

of the clashes along the Isonzo, but

GERMANS STORM
PEREMYSL FORTS
Defenses GirdIing GaIician
Stronghold to the North Are
Lost by Russians.

LONDON. June 2-In the face Of
Russian claims on Monday that the
Austro-German grip on Peremysl had
been broken and that the offensive in
the great Galician struggle had passed
to the Russians. come both German and
Austrian official statements asserting
that the Austro-German troops have
been successful to the north and the
southeast OF the fortress. that the forts
girding 1t to the north have fallen into
their hands. while to the southeast they
have wrested Stry from the Russians.
In fact, the Austro- Germans say
that the campaign Is running in their
favor everywhere in the eastern zone.
from Libau. In the north, to the
southernmost tip of the Galician bat
tlc-line.
1t is apparent that the Russians,
since being forced back to the San.
have been rushing up heavy re-en-
forcements in the hope OF averting
the fall Of Pcremysl. But the Aus
tro-Germans. undetcrred by the stu
pendous losses. have as yet shown
little disposition to accept a purely
defensive role. and the British critics
seem to have been a bit premature In
saying that the German thrust had
definitely failed.

AUDIENCE BY WILSON

ity to comply with his wishes. grace
fully. 1t was the consensus of opinion
that the Berlin foreign office would
avail itself of this chance.
From German societies throughout
the United states it was said large num-
bers OF messages were reaching the
White House in which, coupled with
professions of loyalty to America con-
cerning whose sincerity there could be
no mistaking, the hope was expressed
that the President would bear in mind
the life-and-death character or the
struggle in which their native land was
engaged. take into consideration the
fact that at such a time intercourse
on as smoothly as when the world Is at
peace. and be as considerate as he con-
sistently could in the tone he adopts
in the pending discussion.
This, 1t was stated on high authoriy
the President had every disposition
to do.
Foreign Press Annoying.
One thing which has caused a feel
ing of worry here Is the apparent at
tempt on the part of certain British
and Continental newspapers to cause
trouble by misstating the facts.
Stories that the United States had as
sured the allies that they can count
on support from this country have
been printed in London and Paris and
conveyed to Berlin as facts.
They are entirely false That is a
matter that has not been taken up by
the President with anyone. He re-
mains hopeful that when the last
word is said the years of friendship
between this country and Germany
will outweigh everything else and
that way will be found for peace
and continued friendship without the
sacrifice OF a single honorable prin-
ciple.
IT is because of this that the President
Is proceeding very slowly. He intends
to be fair, those closest to him say, and
he does not want to make a move that
can be construed as giving aid or com
fort to Germany's enemies All that he
Is striving for is to ensure the respect
due America as one of the world q
great powers. And the new note, TO 20

LONDON. June 2.-The American

Page, considers himself under the ne

these trying times.
L. H. Defries. in seconding the mo-
ton for the election of Lord Curzon as
president Of the Atlantic Union, said
matters of International Importance
were in such a state Of tension, and the
position of the ambassador was one of
such extreme delicacy, that Page had
desired him to state that he would be
unable to be present. lest misconcep-
tions should arise.
The Atlantic Union is a society which
seeks to draw together more closely the

ing race by means of personally wei"
coming visitors from the British domin-
