THE WAR TODAY

Probably as a preliminary to a
renewal of their assault on the de-
tense of Verdun from the northeast
the Germans are using their heavy
guns freely in pounding the French
trenches in that sector. The vicin-
ity of the Thiaumont farm, the
only part of the line pierced in the
last general attack. is one of the
points that is being subjected to an
especially violent bombardment.
The Italians have suffered a
probable heavy loss in men in the
sinking of the Italian transport
Principe UmbertO in an attack by
two Austrian submarines in the
lower Adriatic. 1t is believed fully
half the large number of troops on
board persisted.
The Norwegian steamer Erken-
dial and the Swedish bark Heidan
have been sunk by mines.
The great drive of the Russians
against the Austrians along a
front of go miles has taken them
across the Stripa river in Galicia
and Petrograd reports that Aus
TRANS to the number of lab Of
ficers and 64.700 men have been
taken prisoner since the offensive
began. 1t is reported that German
troops have been sent to the aid Of
the AuStrians.
Vienna admits that the Aus
TRANS have reached new positions
on the river Styr in VOlhynia, after
fighting rear guard actions with
the Russians.
The German artillery is very ac-
tive south of the ThianmOnt farm
and south of DamlOup, strength
ening their artillery attack against
this point The Italians have
Withdrawn to numerous positions
in the zone east OF the CampUuIo
and the Austrians claim to have
made gains on the AsiagO high
lands. The Austrians claim to
have taken more than 1900 Ital.
ian prisoners since the first of the
month.
Greece has demobilized her army
to the extent of 1900 men. Paris
interprets this action as being the
result of pressure by the entente
allies. The rehabilitation order,
it is reported from Athens, may
bring about the downfall of the
SkOulOudis ministry.

OBSERVANCE FOR
FLAG DAY URGED
MayOr McCOnOchie Issues Pr0clama-
ton Asking Citizens to Display
National Emblem.

Mayor William McConochie of Rock
Island today calls upon every citizen
in this city to observe Flag day next
Wednesday. The mayor urges that
Old Glory be displayed from all bust
ness houses and private dwellings.
The city next week will be decorated
with national emblems for the Eagles
convention and for the centennial.
There probably has been no Flag day
in the history of the city in which Old
Glory has been so largely displayed as
is anticipated next week.
In a proclamation issued today,
Mayor McConochie states that Flag
day offers an opportunity to show love
for country. The proclamation is ap-
pended:
ITO the citizens of Rock Island:
"In this hour of national and world
wide disturbance it is most necessary
and l believe helpful, for us to public
ly express our love and devotion to the
flag, our national emblem, and by that
expression to affirm our belief in all
that the flag stands for.
I'VE should lose no opportunity to
show and express our love for our
common country and such an oppor-
tunity is offered to us on Wednesday,
June IA, our national flag day.
Il therefore, call upon all citizens
to display the flag on that day and to
help Rock Island to do its part on this
day of homage to Old Glory and to
show our appreciation of all the bless
ings that are ours as free people.
civilian McCONOCHIE,
"Mayor."
