FOES OF FOOD BILL
HOLD UP MEASURE

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Holding
the new cloture rule in reserve, ad
ministration senators made another
futile attempt against the opponents OF
the food bill to voluntarily agree on a
time for vote.
Senator Chamberlain in charge OF
the bill. warned the senate that more
than two weeks have already been
used up in discussion and that he be-
lieved all senators who intended max
ing speeches had done so. He asked
for vote on the bill today at 5 p m.
Senator Penrose, at once objected,
declaring that he favored free and
fair discussion" and objected to ''The
use of the steam roller" in forcing the
bill.
Senator Chamberlain replied that
it was not his purpose to urge the use
of the steam roller" and he had no
desire to 'implicate that there has
been any filibuster."

BERLIN ADMITS LOSS
(By Associated Press)


The great offensive of the regener'
ated Russian army. initiated under the
leadership of Minister Of War Keren-
sky, in person, is being successfully
pushed. Advices to the Russian gov
ernment declare it is developing in
IAN absolutely favorable manner
The successes of the initial thrust in
the new drive by General Brussiloff in
Galicia was beyond question. Costly
as it probably was to the Russian per.
sonnel the taking of more than 10000
prisoners by the attacking army In the
comparative narrow sector affected,
shows how disastrous 1t must have
been to the enemy.
There remained the question OF
whether the drive could be kept up
with sufficient force to reap the full
advantage of the victory. While this
question does not yet seem to have
been definitely decided the indications
are admittedly encouraging. Ground
has been gained beyond the line Of
the original attack and the Russians
are advancing in the direction of Zloc-
haf{

Beyond this, todays Russian official
statement shows further heavy losses
inflicted upon the Austro-German
forces including the capture of some
5000 additional prisoners and q guns.

are pressing is almosts directly east
