violence is in progress on the souvilles

lery destroyed the German works, one
shell causing an explosion within the
German lines. apparently having struck
an ammunition depot.
The Germans turned to the west bank
of the Mouse earlier and delivered two
strong attacks on the French positions
on Hill 304. and one east Of the hill.
These attacks were completely checked.
the Paris account says. East Of the
Mouse the Smelling goes on.
In the Champagne. the scene OF the
great French offensive last fall. the ar
tillery fighting suddenly grew to great
intensity.
The official communication by the
French war office reads:
ION the front north of Verdun no
infantry action was reported during the
course of the day. Our artillery ac-
lively countershelled the German bat
teries which bombarded. particularly in
the region south Of the Thiaumont farm
and west of Fort de VauX.
THE day was calm on the rest OF the
front except in Champagne, where the
artillery action took on a character OF
great intensity in the sector of Tahure."

Anniversary.

NEW YORK. June 12.-The diamond
Jubilee OF Fordham University-the sew
enty-fifth anniversary OF the establish
ment OF this Catholic institution OF
learning-will be celebrated deliberately
during the week beginning today.
Founded by Bishop Hughes in 1871.
and In a place that was then far In the
country outside Of New York. Fordham
has grown from a tiny school to one
OF the biggest and best equipped uni
versities In the land.
tordham was begun as a result OF
the Know Nothing" movement In the
eos, and when that party agitated bit:
upon providing books for the public
schools that were anti-Catholic, Bishop
Hughes led the opposition to the Know
Nothings."
Originally known as st. Johns Col
iege, Il was formally opened by Bishop
Hughes in June. 1sn. The Rev. John
McCloskey, who later Became the first
American Cardinal, was the first presi-
dent, and associated with him were sew
eel men who attained distinction.
In 1886 Bishop Hughes learned that a
Jesuit college In Kentucky was unable
to make any Roadway. Wishing to
place his college In the hands OF some
regular order devoted to educational
work. Bishop Hughes wrote letter to
Kentucky. pointing out that New York
was thckly populated and would give
the Jesuits larger opportunities than
the South afforded. As n result, the
priests came to New York and were
placed In charge OF Fordham College.
which has remained under the direction
OF the Jesuit fathers ever since.
The celebration will be participated
In by church diEnitaries from all
parts of the country. and by distin.
guished men OF all walks of life and
all religions Although primarily a
Catholic college, Fordham Is not sec

MASON SAYS ALLIES
SHOULD STRIKE NOW
Great Britain and France Have
Great Chance for Offensive,
He Asserts.
By ]. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE astonish-
ing slccess OF Russia's drive along tho
southeastern front brings the time for
the allies western offensive TO the test.
Not since the war began have the
allies been able to deliver simultaneous
assaults upon all the Teutondc lines.
The allies have thus consistently
played Germany's game by permitting
the central powers to concentrate their
forces against a single enemy at a
time-which was the reason why Fred
erick the Great won the Seven Years
War against continental Europe.
II the allies now again hold back In
the west land allow Germany and
Austro-Hungary to meet the new Sla-
vonic offensive unhampered. there can
be no expectation of great military
victory against the two Kaisers.
The persistence of Russia's new sue
cesses must come as a grateful surprise
to Great Britain and France.
Neyerthelessn 1t might be profitable
brief interval to determine whether
the Russians have shot away all their
ammunition in the first days Of their
advance.
Slavs have plenty of supplies for a
sustained offensive, then It would be a
gigantic blunder for Russia's western
allies to remain idle In their trenches
unless the governments OF France and
Great Britain have concluded that the
German defenses cannot be overcome.
Reports from Rome today announce
that the Italians have begun counter
offensive along the TIsntino front.
This Is an added reason why France
and Great Britain should begin to
count the days for their united effort
to drive the Germans back to their
frontier.
The Balkan offensive of the allies
might we'll wait, however, until the Rus
slams have penetrated far into Buko-
vina and thus brought influence to bear
on Roumania to Join the allies,
Such development would place Bull
garia in danger of being crushed by an
attack from two directions and might
cause Sofia to agree to a separate peace.
But, long delay In the west at this
time will probably be fatal to the mill
tary ambitions of the allies. II the al
lies have a sincere hope OF being able
TO subdue Germany Nth their armies.
any moment may see the beginning of
the western offensive which now has
been nearly two years In preparation.

ITALY WILL FORM
NATIONAL CABINET
Salandra's Resignation Not Ex-
pected to Affect Conduct Of
the War.

ROME, June liking Emanuel held
conference today with the leaders Of
the various parties. regarding the
formation OF a new cabinet.
Following the resignation of his
cabinet, rendered yesterday by Pre-
micr salandra to King Victor
Emmanuel, and made necessary by
the refusal Of the Chamber OF Deputies
to vote confidence in his government or
to approve tho budget Of the interior
ministry. control of. which he had as
sumed. interest hcre ccntcra upon tho
reorganization OF the ministry.

be able TO form cabinet by fusiny all

1t has been suggested that Baron SOL
nino be asked to form new cabinet,
although some prominent politicians
think that the adverse vote In the
chamber Of deputies affected him as
well as Premier Salandra. Others men,
toned as possibilities ere Tommaso
Tlttoni italian ambassador to France,
and several leaders In Parliament.
The prevailing impression is that the
defeat of the cabinet does not signify
any change In the national spirit or the
conduct of the war. as all OF the speak
ers In the chamber of deputies approved
the general conduct of the war.
Must Be National.
All parties agree that the new cab
met must have a national character.
'One proposition is that It include all
the leading statesmen with a view to
uniting in the supreme struggle all po-
litical factions except the Intransigeant
Socialists, forty OF whom oppose war on
principle. From all sides a rapid So
luton of the crisis Is urged owing to
the gravity of the moment. Although
the cabinet situation since the Austrian
advance on May ID had been somewhat
precarious. nobody expected the sudden
adverse vote in the chamber.
