Violent Attacks on French.

Paris, June 21, 11:5O a. m-A vio- lent attack on the French positions northwest of Rheims was made by the Germans last night at Hill No. 10S and in the direction of Berry -Au-Bac, according to an official statement is- sued by the war office today. The attack was repulsed by the French artillery fire.
 The Germans exploded two r1ires before launching their infantry against the French trenches. Their repulse was due, the statement says to the effectiveness of the French screen fire.
 In the Verd'un sector no infantry activity was reported but a mutual bonn ba rdment was maintained during the night.
 The text of the statement follows:
 South of the Somme, before Mau- court a detachment of the enemy which attempted to approach our lines was dispersed with rifle fire.
 Northwest of Rheims the Germans, after exploding two mines, delivered an attack against the trenches at Hill No. 10S, south of Berry -Au-Bac. Checked by our curtain of fire, this attack was defeated completely.
 "On both banks of the Mouse, Yer dun front, our artillery and that of the enemy were rather active during the night

Asquith and Law Favor Recogni' tion Of Dead Field Marshall

London, June 21, $40 D. m.-In moving a resolution authorizing the erection of a mem morial to the late Field Marshal Earl Kitchener out of the public funds, with an inscription expressing admiration of the house for his illustrious career and gratitude for his services, Premier Asquith in the house of commons today, recalled the recent meeting of Lord Kitchener with members of the house which ended in the field marshal and his most persistent and irreconcilable critics parting on terms of mutual re- spect.
 Premier Asquith reviewed briefly Lord Kitchener achievements in Egypt, South Africa and India, and referring to his being called to the post of secretary for war said he brought to his new task "The same sleepless energy rare resources and masterful personality which never him. I will only say this Few men have less reason to shrink from sub- hitting their lives to the pure eye and God"
 Andrew Bonar Law, minister of the colonies, seconded the resolution em- phasizing the fact that Lord Kitchener had the fullest confidence of the country and added that now that he had fallen 1t was for those who re- mained to work with the single pur- pose of securing that victory in the ultimate attainm ent of which LCrd Kitchener had never failed to helieve

AUSTRIAN ARMY
 IN DESPERATE FIX
Confirmation Received That It Is
 Cut in Halves

London, June 21, 2:22 p. m.-Cor- firmatory reports of the cutting in two of General Pflanzer's army in Bukowina are contained in a dispatch to the Star from Petrograd today. When the Austrians retired from CzernOwitz, says the correspondent, part of them retreating due south along the Rumanian border and oth- CTS toward the Carpathians, their hope was to have time to hold rhe Rus sans on the fortified line running from Kuty to Sereth along the rivers Mikhodra and Sereth. But despite the delay caused by the prolonged defense of Czernowitz Gen. LetchitzIly threw his reserves upon the heels of the retreating Austrians at such speed that he succeeded in reaching that line simultaneously with them.
 The result was that Gen. PfIanzer' 8 forces were cut in half midway be- tween Kuty and Sereth at Stroginet.

JUNE COUNCIL MEETING
New White Way and Large Grist of Routine Matters Coming Up for Action

Indications are that the June session of the common council this evening will be a busy one. Of su- Ireme interest is the question of the proposed "white way" action on which has been twice postponed. Last Wednesday evening members of the council went to Waterbury to in- spect the Brass City lighting system, which is similar to that proposed for New Britain. That at least one of the council members is not entirely satisfied with the system has been in timated and more lively debate is anticipated.
 Another thing that promises ex- citement is the recent action of the board of public safety in appointing eleven patrolmen from the civil service list. The men were not all picked according to their averages and some high stand men were left in the lurch. These have got their friends in the council to take the matter up and tonight an inquiry is expected.
 Prior to the regular meeting, the council will hold a special session for the purpose of electing Walter w. Gould and Cornelius J. Dehm mem bers of the council from the first ward.
