June 23.- An au- ,horized official denial was made to- day to a statment published at The Hague in the Handelsblad newspaper which said that Japan was prevented from sending So0.000 troops to Europe Go aid Russia in the war against Ger. many and Austria because of an un- official hint from the United States to Great Britain that such an addition to the European armies would be un desirable.

 ENTHUSIASM PREVAILED IN
 VIENNA.

GERMANY PAYS
 TERRIFIC PRICE
 FOR HER VICTORY

LONDON, June 2S.- According to all the sources of information that are available at Petrograd. according to various newspaper accounts re- ceived here the last two days, Ger many is paying the most terrific price for victory in Galicia that any Ma ton ever sacrificed on the altar of success. It is stated that the Ger man loss in killed and wounded in Galicia during tho last six weeks has been greater than during the entire previous losses since the beginning of the war. including the terrible slaughter that has taken place in Po- land.
 lmpresslng Neutrals
 The astounding losses that are re- ported to the German forces have caused experts to wonder what such anxiety for victory means While the need for country upon which to draw supplies undoubtedly has great deal to do with it, it is generally be- lieyed that the main purpose is to i'm press the neutral nations Of South eastern Europe, and thus to prevent Roumania. Bulgaria and Greece from Joining the Allies. It is known that Germany was convinced when it be. came certain that Italy would join the Allies in the war that Roumania and Bulgaria would follow quickly, and that Greece would not long remain neutral. It was decided that the sit nation demanded heroic treatment, and that the only remedy in sight was the defeat of the Russian army.
 It is said that the Kaiser personal ly directed that Russia must be whip ped. regardless of cost. He had done this before in the thrust at Warsaw but it was found impossible, and the failure is said to have angered him in tensely. and when the Galician cam paign began. he stated that he expect ed victory. and wanted no explana- tions of failure.
