Zurich, July dispatches from
Vienna quote the former Polish Min
lister Bilinsky as saying during the
course Of the budget debate that the
new kingdom Of Poland must incor-
,orste a monarchy, under the sceptre
of a kaiser. and form with Galicia an
independent kingdom, as in the case OF
Austria-Hungarg.
ave do not need an Entente for our
liberation" he said 1--WE are much
freer than others outside the mon
archy."
Baron Won Plener, the official re-
porter of the debate. said that this
solution of the Polish question was the
right one, adding.
GAS things stand to-day, the English
are actually Austria's chief foes. There
is no other country where Austrian
subjects after the war will be so NAL
treated and oppressed as in England.
II is only due TO special friendliness
on our side that we make no reprisals.
The world will finally perceive that we
desire peace, not from weakness, but
from an honorable peace policy.

Canadians Take
Half-Mile Line
On Edge of Lens
Close In on Coal Centre
1885 Prisoners Captured
at Messines

London, July 1.-Canadian troops
drove in farther toward Lens to-day
taking another half-mile of enemy de-
fences, apparently on the very edge OF
the city. Meanwhile, the French were
fighting desperately to retain their
positions along the centre Of the
Chemin- Danes, south OF Laon, and
on the left bank OF the Mouse, ten
miles northwest of Nerdun. They lost
a little more ground in the Cerny SAIL
ent on the Aisne front, but held their
own around Verdun.
The British night official gives a
summary Of captures made by Halgs
armies during the month Of June. Dur
ing the fighting for the Messines-
Wytschaete ridge and on other sectors
of the front 1886 prisoners, includlng
175 officers. were taken, together with
81 guns, two of them heavy pieces, lOZ
trench mortars, 345 machine guns and
much other booty. Berlin makes the
claim that ,465 French prisoners have
been taken by forces OF the crown
Prince in the last three days OF tght-
ing. g.. 3.
French experts do not believe it is
Hindenburg's purpose TO launch gem
eral offensive in the Verdun region,
but the mere fact that there should be
speculation on the question SHOWS that
the Germans still possess great power
on the Western Front. Inc strategy
of the Germans below Laon and above
Rheims has developed sufficiently 70
indicate they are trying to nuillty inc
effect of Nivelle's drive begun on April
Is. Their attacks have EXTENDED cIear
around the angle Of which Craonne Is
the apex, southwark to the cast OF
Rheims.
French Trenches Taken
In this region enemy assaults both
north and northeast of Prunay, on the
western edge of the Champagne. were
repulsed Paris declared that the
fighting around Cerny was on ~ local.
but the Berlin reports state that sew
eral more French trenches were taken
there, with ten officers and 500 men.
The German war statement makes no
assertion Of additional gains around
Verdun. but the lighting there Is de-
scribed az desperate" throughout yes
terday and last night. The enemy
charged the Notifications Of Avocourt

French outpost to the west OF Dead

after it had been completely destroyed

Evacuation of Lens Near
The only reference TO the fighting
around Lens which the Germans have
made in two days was a mention IN TO-
nights Berlin bulletin OF the failure
of British attack there this morn

advancing without strong opposition
as their capture of prisoners is meagre
II is possible that the evacuation OF
the French coal centre is already under
way.

u. S. Faces Biggest
Task in Getting
Guns to Front
American Officers Greatly
Impressed with Value
of Artillery
tBy The Associated Press ]


British Headquarters in France, July
American officers who have been
studying conditions on this front for
some time say they are wonderfully i'm
pressed with the British artillery,
which has made them more than ever
conscious Of the immense efforts the
United States will have to make in
that direction. The American people
have been quick TO appreciate the value
Of greet fleets Of battle and scouting
planes; the air service appealed at once
TO their imagination. But, after all, it
has been guns and still more guns,
shells and still more shells, that have
turned the tide OF war IN favor of the
Allies.
The artillery has solved most Of the
problems Of modern war. II was the
artillery that blew the Germans from
their grim grip on Vimy Ridge; it was
the artillery that shook them loose
from their nearly three years hold on
the high ground about Messines; it was
the artillery that shattered and
crumpled the steel and concrete de-
FENCES o. lue HluueuDuIR line from

is tic artillery to-day that is harassing
and pounding the Germans until they
are fairly dazed when the infantry at
tacks begin.
The limited depth Of the battles to-
day is due to the fact that the infantry
must not get beyond the protecting
cover of their artillery. Il was with
their enormous guns, which no other
nation possessed that the Germans ex-
pected TO blast their way TO quick vic
tory in 1914.
Now their military ambitions and
their military proves are being dashed
30 pieces against the rochs OF skilled
supremacy in guns and gunners. Guns,
airplanes and infantry form the great
trinity in modern war; they can move
only hand in hand

Polish Opposition
In Austria Believed
To Be Weakening

Washington. July 1.-The news from
Vienna is regarded here as OF great i'm
portance. IL was the Polish opposition
that blocked the activities of the
Reichsrat, as the Poles are the con-
trolling faction in the Austrian Par
lament.
The adoption OF the budget means
that the Poles voted with the Ger
mans. as against the Czechs. Slovaks
and Latin deputies. The Poles in the
Rcichsrat are all from Galicia.
The promise Of ex-Minister Bilinsky
that Galicia would be Incorporated with
the new Poland evidently had brought
them over 20 the side Of the govern
ment. Should the Poles abandon their
opposition Austria would be material.
