COL. 7. R. NO BETTER
Suffered Severe Coughing Spell Last
Night; Receives No Visitors.

New York June 16.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt suffered another severe
coughing spell last night and this
morning was barely able to speak
above a whisper. His condition had
SO little improved that his physician,
DR. Hubert V. Guile, was called to
the hotel where he is staying. DR..
Guile started with him to his office
for an examination.
The, colonefS appearance as he left
the hotel was haggard and he shook
his head negatively when asked if he
felt any better. The colonefs illness
came upon him two days ago when
one of his coughing spells caused the
swapping of hgaments of his ribs.
He had planned to return to Oys-
ter Bay, but probably now will re-
main longer under his physician's
care. Doctor Guile, instead of taking
the colonel to his own office, took him
to that of another physician, DR..
Arthur B. Duel, about two blocks
from the colonels hotel. After re-
manning there about twenty minutes
Colonel Roosevelt alone walked very
slowly back to the hotel and imme-
diately went to his room.
Mrs. Roosevelt then left word at
the hotel office that her husband
would receive no visitors today. Sew
eral Progressive leaders who called
were so informed, among them one
who had an appointment. A spe-
ciaI delivery letter which arrived for
him was not sent up.

London, June 16.-The Germans,
apprehensive of a big allied offensive

SEVER AUSTRIAN LINE
If Russians Succeed Austria May Be
Forced to Quit.

London, June 16.-With Czernowitz
semi reported captured the
Russian offensive is now driving west
ward toward Stanislaw in an effort to
completely cut the Austrian commune
cation line between Lemberg and all
of the southern points of the line.
# the Russians are successful, the
Austrian CZernowitz army will either
have to stand its ground or retreat
through the Carpathians and down to
the plains of Hungary. For the Rus
slams to reach and occupy the rich
farming country of the plains would
be a serious blow to the central pow
ers, now practically dependent on the
coming harvest for enough food to en-
able them to continue the war.
Reports from Berlin, Petrograd and
Vienna, all make patent that the Aus
TRANS in an effort to prevent a COM
plete cut, have stiffened their de-
lenses. . -- s.4
