LLOYD GEORGE
MAKES REPLY
TO CRITICISM
Says Immunity in Air is not
Possible, Unless it is too
Costly to Raiders.
Announces that % Machines

London, July 1o.-!Twenty-two air
planes of the Gotha bombing type
took part In the raid ontLondon last
Saturday, Premier Lloyd George an
nounced at, the secret session of the
house of commons last evening, ac-
cording to the official account Three
of the raiders and six machines of the
protecting 'squadrons were destroyed.
Following is the official account Of the
secret session.:
1.-The premier said % airplanes of
the Gotha bombing type carrying
about 500 pounds of explosives
apiece came over London. OF the
three destroyed, one was by the ma
chimes actually protecting London.
"The attack, in fact. had not been
made with impunity. He wished to
point out that the first fact the house
should get into it's mind was that
complete protection in the air could
never be secured.
'The nearest approach to immunity
lay in making their visits so costly
that they would not become worth
the Germans while.
''The first consideration before the
government was to insure that the
army in France was supplied suffl-
GENTLY with airplanes without which
it was impossible to advance.
Nothing could be more disastrous
to military operations than to en-
courage the Germans to believe that
they could by these raids excite such
a clamor in this country that the gov
ernment would be unable to resist the
demand for the withdrawal of air
planes from the front.
"1f airplanes could be provided
both at the front and for defense
against raids it would, of course, be
done, If not the army must come first
and it is vitality important that the
Germans should know it,

Petrograd, July S.-{Delayed)
1.-THE Russian army Is going to
fight. The spirit among the
troops everywhere is excellent.
The advance so brilliantly begun
has every chance for successful
continuation"
This was the reassuring COM

Hugh Il. Scott, chief OF the gem
eral staff of the United States
army, on his return last night
from ten days tour along the
southwestern front into Ruman-
In. General Scott described in
detail and with the greatest en-
thusiasm the Russian advance of
June 80, which he personally OBJ
served at close range.
"The point that struck me
most forcibly," he said, twas the
accuracy of the Russian fire and
the effective concealment of their
batteries.
"Thc precision and exquisite

working of the Russian machin-
cry was o marvel to me. There
was not the slightest sign OF In
subordination or reluctance
among the men. The spirit OF
the men themselves was In favor
of an advance.
"The artillery preparations
ceased suddenly, the order to
advance was given and the whole
Russian line swept forward In
perfect unison. 1 was somewhat
dismayed when, in short time,
saw thousands Of men pouring
back again. But Il soon discov-
cred that these were Austrian
prisoners who came running with
full speed into the Russian lines,
apparently with a single thought
that of surrendering as quickly
as possible"
Except for a few final confer
ences with the members Of the
Russian government the work
here of the Root commission vir-
tually has been concluded.

But Fails Miserably.
(By Associated Press.)

Several villages captured and more
than 1000 additional prisoners ana
three field guns taken attest the sue
cess of the second days attack oy
General Korniloff in eastern Gallcla.
Already, this branch Of the Russian
offensive has resulted In deep Weose
being driven into the Austro-G German
line between Stanislau and Hallc7,
southeast of Lemberg. 1t took strong
German reserves and the launching of
heavy counter-attacks to slow up the
rush of Korniloff's men. The stra-
tegic position in this sector is now
clearly in favor of the Russians The
long established Teutonic line has
been definitely broken and the con-
tinuance5of 5the Russian pressure
points to the probable speedy fall OF
berg along two first class railway
lines. A dangerous salient already
has been created around Halicz.
Germans Retreat.
u The Russian official statement says
the enemy has retreated to the Lom-
MICA river In two days, the Russians
penetrated to depth Of six and two
thirds miles the enemy positions west
of Stanislau.
Each day now witnesses new at
tack by the German crown prince
along the A1Sno front IN uOTLAeiu
France, suggesting an attempt at a
sustained offensive. The French guns
are proving too much for the attack
ing ranks of the Teutons. however.
German Attack Fails.
Last nights attack on the Chemin-
: des-Dames plateau, the high ridge
which the Germans lost in the spring
campaign and are now trying des-
perately to recover, was even less
fruitful than others had been at the
outset The Germans were not able
even to get near the French lines at
the Hurtebise monument and the The
Dragon, where their attacks were
launched and they fell back with Sc
we're losses.

night, he took another bite into the
territory east Of the Messines Ridge
and advanced the British line slightly

FOOD CONTROL
BILL FINDS A
DIFFICULT WAY
Senate Leaders Confer in
Effort to Trim Down
the Bill. @
DECLARE IT IS
LOADED DOWN"
Maintain that Some Provi-
sions are Unconstitu-
tional.

Washington, July 10.-Increased
difficulties today beset the admins
tration food control bill with its dras-
tic prohibition features.
Convinced that the bill is LOADED
down" and that the liquor provision
for government purchase of all distill-
ed spirits is unconstitutional and eth
er must be amended or stricken out,
senate leaders held conferences while
the debate proceedd on the floor, in
an effort to device amendments to
pave the way for final passage Of the
bill.
Steering Committee Fails
The dem mocratic steering committee
met before the senate convened, but
was unable to reach asT agrse naenf and
definite action was deferred. /. 'Sena-
tors said the situation among the
steering committee members was. as
chaotic as that in the, senate.
To meet the constitutional objec-
tions that his amendment illegally
imposes upon distillers the price to be
paid for their liquors. Senator Smoot
proposed to add an amendment to an
other section Of the bill. Another
plan considered by the steering COM
mittee was to recomnit the bill to
the agriculture committee with in
structions to correct the Smoot amend
ment and also eliminate cotton, steel
iron and possibly other products from
the government control proposed.
Burleson Takes Stand
While the steering committee was
in session, Postmaster General Burle-
son walked in and joined in the dis
cussicn. Several senators soon left
the meeting, one Of them expressing
resentn ent over the cabinet officials
participation.
Prohibition Revision.
Washington, July 10.-Revision of
the prohibition as well as other pro-
visions in the food control bill de-
signed to overcome opposition and in
sure it's passage was the task under
taken today by the senate steering
committee.
Proposed changes under considera-
ton were amendment of the provi-
sions adopted by the senate providing
for government purchase of all dis
titled spirits in bonded warehouses
and elimination of the provision for
government regulation Of the iron
steel and cotton industry

NOT TO FIX Nv
ANY PRICE
ON WHEAT
Hoover Denies Report That
Administration will Make
Price Less Than So.

Washington, July 1o.-Reports that
the food administration will fix an ar
bitrary price Of less than 50 a bushel
to the grower for the 1917 American
wheat crop drew from Herbert
Hoover yesterday this detail:
''It is not the intention Of the food
to fix the price for
wheat, nor is it expected that it will
have any such powers. If the food
bill passes congress. however, we GER
tainly will not stand for speculating."
The farmer will be protected, it was
further asserted by Mr.. Hoover,
against centralized buying by the
allies. All allied grain purchases will
be made in the near future through
one agency, probably the food admit
istrators, but Mr.. Hoover and his as
sociates are said. to feel that the ex-
port price should be maintained at a
figure that will be an inducement to
farmers to increase production.

HERMAN EADY TO DEFEND
 TITLE
uBy II. c. Hamilton, United Press)

(By H. c. Hamilton, United Press)
 NEW YORK, March 20. - Peter Gulatto, otherwise known as Pete Herman, the new bantamweight cham. pion, is off to a running start in the defense of his acquired title. He is one of the boys to whom the newspa- per writers point with pride as a youth who isn't assuming, wants to fight. and is otherwise an ideal chap.
 Whether he'll be able to live A life of fame without getting the swelled head and consequent reputation for using dollars as bed is something to be developed in the spring of old man Time. Right now he has it. It is to be hoped he sticks by it.
 Pete began his life as a bootblack Being a native of Italy. he has noth. ing on several thousand of his coun- trymen who are shining their way to fame in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
 There was a bad man, though. bold character in New Orleans, where Pete gathered in the nickels, who used to come around about once a week and make collection of nickels and dimes

off the bootblacks. They all paid up like little men-Pete included.
 One day Pete decided he wanted all the money he made for his very own, and he laid for the youth who came around after the dimes. He refused to shell out. with the result that the youth caught Pete one on the chin and nearly pulverized him. When Pete came to he brushed his clothes. started down the street, and when he found said youth he commenced to fight The youth of the dime and nickel collection was sent to a hospi- tai. From that time on Pete had his nickels and dimes and a fighting re- pntation. The latter was so good he decided to put 1t to use, which he aid with such success that he has lowered over the others in his class to the ex. tent that he now is champion.
 Herman is just 21. He has been fighting six years. He stands , feet inches and weighs 116 pounds right along. Some day - off in the future Pete is going to have cafe in New Orleans. Also, on top is going to be gymnasium. He wants to fight just now - fight 'em all A champion, he believes, should prove it.
