II want American rights protected
throughout the world" Mr.. Hughes
said. II desire to see great driving
force of patriotic sentiment which will
give us the motive power of progress.
We can not have progress unless we
have that loyalty and love for our
country which will enable us to get up

AUSTRIANS
C0RNERED
BY SLAVS
Eighty Thousand Teuton Sol
diers Are Cut OF BY Ad-
vancing Russians Who Press
on Toward Lemberg

Petrograd. June 20.-Eighty thous-
and Austrian troops, retreating from
the region OF Czernowitz. have been
cornered In Bukovina by the light
ming drive OF the Russian left wing.
The Russians are pressing the pur-
suit with the utmost yigor.. A large
part OF the Austrian force In all
probability will be cut or and sur
rounded. The others face the alter
native of retreating through the east
Carparhian passes. abandoning their
guns. or crossing into Roumania.
General Pfanzer. commanding the
Austrians around Czernowitz, is re-
treating southwark In the direction
OF the Sereth river with his beaten
forces. How many Austrians escaped
westward, planning later to join
Bothmer's army. Is not yet known.
Practically the whole Russian front
north OF Czernowitz is steadily press
Ing In upon Lemberg. 1t is reported
that measures have already been
taken for the evacuation Of the Ga
lician capital. Russian troops, press
ing down upon Brody in the advance
upon Lemberg may already have
crossed the Galician frontier.
II is admitted here that the Aus
trian defense is becoming more stub
born. East OF Brody. and on Q wide
front directly east OF Lemberg. the
Austrians are counter-attacking with
the greatest spirit. using flame eject
ors and large quantities OF shells.
Both on the Brody front and far
ther south Austrian prisoners have
been captured who admit they were
rushed into action few days ago
from the Italian front.
That the Russian offensive not on
ly arrested the Austrian drive south
ward into Italy. but frustrated an
ambitious scheme OF the Austr0-
German general stats for the con-
quest OF southern Russia, was indi-
Gated by Bucharest dispatches today.
These reports said 1t had been learn
ed from German sources that an
Austro-German thrust across south
ern Russia to the Black sea was to
follow the Austrian offensive in Italy,
the plan being to cut Russia of en-
tirely from the Balkan states.
II this report is true. the Russian
strategists outwitted the enemy.
The latest reports indicate that
from half to two-thirds Of the Aus
trians facing the Russians when the
offensive began were killed. wounded
or made prisoners early In the fight.
The soldiers were so badly disorgan-
ICED that the Russians pushed for
ward with the greatest rapidity.
Only the arrival of fresh Austrian
troops checked the momentum OF
General Brusiloff's rush.

not attempting to minimize the i'm
