Women Soldiers Send
Out Call for Blankets

These be parlous nights for blankets
out at the Nationa, Training School
Camp.
A big. heavy. gray wool covering Is
just about the greatest comfort a girl
could have when the nights get chill.
and goosefiesh shows a dlscomforting
inclination to pop out all over fair
shoulders. which though used to the
lowness OF evening dress. have not yet
become quite accustomed to the rigors
of cold night under canvas,
The girls are rapidly becoming accli-
mated. and none of them have suffered
anything worse than slight discomfort

On Tuesday night, when the Their
mometer took sudden drop around
midnight. there was unusual activity
In the camp which at that minute
sheltered some 200 thoroughly chill
ed young women, very few OF whom
had thought to bring an extra blanket.

Macedonian darkness of the camp,
punctuated by teeth-chatterings, the
burden of which was: Come thou

their own boudoirs. begged for little

emergency.
Sometime during the wee sma' hours
four young women decided that each OF
their own invididual shivery plights
was a decided emergency, and so in
the morning the four blankets were
gone.
The girls now have plenty OF blankets.
and they are growing to like the zip OF
the night air.

Admiral Glover, who commands Com

James Parker, wife OF Congressman
Parker of New Jersey, and Mrs. Ogden
Jones have Joined the ranks OF the day

The girls have real camp yell. They
have adopted the slogan used by the
American contingent who represented
this country at the Olympic games in
Stockholm, and have adapted It TO their
uses. Its slogan as II stands Is: "Rah!

Czernowitz, capital of the Austrian crown land of Bukowina, is in the hands of the Russians, and the Aus trians who held it are in retreat to- ward the Carpathian Mountains. Hard fighting took place in the capture of the Czernowitz bridgehead and in the passage of the river Pruth. but when finally the Russians gained the right bank Aof the river the Austrians evac- suated tEe capital, leaving 1000 pris- oners and some guns in the hands of the Russians.
 To the north, in Galicia and Vo1hy-s nia, the Russians are meeting with desperate resistance by the Austro- Hungarians and Germans, some of the latter of whom are declared by Petro- grad to have been brought from the French front in an endeavor to aid in the stemming of the Russian advance
 While Petrcgrad asserts tkat the Russians are repulsing the counter attacks. pressing the Teutonic allies farther back and taking from them large numbers of prisoners and quan- titles of war materials, both Vienna and Berlin report victories for their arms in Galieia and YolyInia Vien- na says that north of the Lipa river, in ] Galicia. the Austrians put down a Rus sian attack, ganed ground ond took 90g men prisoners, while Berlin asserts that along the Styr on both sides oI KollSi and between the Lutsk roadka and | the THrya sector the Germans under General Von Ldnsinger repulsed Rus-

sian attacks and captured 3,44s Rus sians and some guns.
 Fresh attempts by the Germans against the French positions northeast and northwest of Yerdun met with no success, says the French war od1ce, and the Germans suffered heavy cas- ualAies in their attacks-delivered against the Le Mort Homme and Thiaumont sectors
 Again there has been considerable activity in the Argonne forest and in the Vosges Mountains, where the French in the former used their long range artillery effectively against the German positions and in the latter sec tor put down surprise infantry att tack southwest of Carspach.
 On the French front much fighting in the air has taken place. A British fer, unaided, drove down two Ger man machines and French aviators ac- counted for seven others. The French lost one machine.
 As yet the Austrians have not with drawn troops from the Italian front because of the Russian offensive in the east says the Rome communica- ton and they are continuing their Vio- llent efforts to break through the Italian line. Their efforts, however. are meeting with no success, the at- tacks being put down with heavy cas- uaIities.

WASHINGTON WATCHED
 sPREAp oF plseRI ERs
Nc Present Purpecs of orderina Re-
 r1swed Activities.


 Washingen, June 1s The zFashlnG- angren government has watched with growing alarm the spread Of disorders throughout Mexico and the evidences that CaTranza's control over his army ana his people was waning from tiav 70 day. Up to the time General Ire ylno served notice on General Persh- ing last week that any movement of his troops except toward the border would be treated as hostile act. there was no clead indication as to fsarraT, ! "a own attitude. His intentions sfill are somewhat in doubt. although fhe facf that he is said to have personaiiS, directed Trevino's action leaves little ground for speculation on that score The question remaining to be settled is whether General Carranza will eo fa the limit of ordering an attack upon General Pershing's troops. There is no indication that President Wilson has any intention of weakening how ever, that the administration has no present purpose of ordering renewed activities after bandits by the sol1rn,s except in the limited zone in which ff nas been operating with signal siIccass tor some weeks. General Persting's recent reports have indicated that 1e had succeeded in clearing out all or- ganized bands of outlaws in the viciy . tty of his camps.
