Of the weather bureau
Tropical temperatures were reported
everywhere west Of the Oder river
Reports Of horse races and other
sporting events feature the terrific
abnormal, scorching" heat. Many horses
were withdrawn on the opening day
Of the Harburg derby week because
the track, built on a marshy moor, was
baked too hard for safety.
The weather bureau says that pros

grain crops around Berlin, where only
eight millimetres of rain have faller
since May /. is described by a neutra

catastrophical
The Sunday sermon writer in tn,
Berlin KreuZ Zeitung, who recently in

religion and politics, declared on Sun

punishment for the sins of the people
for listening to the editors Of irreli

Copenhaven (via London) June 10
The revolt Of the Poles in the Austrian
parliament is described by the Vienna
correspondent o; the Vossische Zeitung
as having produced a crisis in which the

the foreign minister. is threatened.
A majority Of the German papers
treat the news Of the situation with the
greatest reserve and the government
organs in Vienna hold out hopes that
the crisis may be overcome by granting
a few ministerial posts TO Polish and
other parliamentarians
The VOssische Zeitung correspondent.
however points out that the detection
OF the Poles is sufficient to turn the
scales against the government, since
the remainder OF the Slav bloc already
is in opposition.
The Poles indicated the seriousness
OF their intentions by a decision TO vote
against the budget. being the first par.
liamentary group in any belligeren.
country aside from handful Of extreme
socialists in refusing to vote a war

The insistence Of Premier Clam-Mar.

ed as due TO the initiative OF Count
Czernin, who is unable to carry on the
foreign policy Of the government while

WAR SUMMARY

Severity of the fighting on the British
front in France and Belgium has re.
laxed. Along the lines occupied by tho
French, however, renewal Of activities
is noted
General Petain struck the German
lines in the Champagne yesterday a
blow which netted the French a trench
system nearly a third Of a mile in
length in an important sector. The
French line was thereby Strengthened
out along the hills between Mont Ca
nillet and Mont Blond, in territory vital
to successful observation work.
Last night a violent attempt by the

the momentous policy of the nation.
All morning men and women
streamed in and out of the twin
white marble office buildings of
Congress on the one hand and the
Senate on the other to urge upon
their representatives their individual
desires for peace or war. The
doves" were not always dovelike in
their encounters with the American
eagles as they passed them. Hawks
in Khaki as well as other gaily
plumaged sentries of the national
honor wore a hostile and belligerent
air in the presence of the non-re

of yellow strips.
Throughout the day impressive
meetings of the Representative and

halls with frequent adjournments

and with the population of the

crowds at it's base the President came
among silent rows of people to offer

Doves OF Peace
And American Eagle
Meeting In Washington

Yes, Sunday we all travelled to
Washington. | say "we;" but there
were many different ives: Pacifists,
Patriots, and Pacifist and Patriot
legislators. Some began travelling
as soon as Sunday did, those from
the middle west, and others just as
Sunday was ending; still other be-
gan bright and early Monday morn
ing, and some when it was only
early. Why Washington on April

of events sister America was to say
Eyes" or "no" to the perfectly milit-
artistic nations Of the globe.
There were three distinct focks of

night and we'll into the day to hover
about Capitol Hill and finally to
settle on it's dome, if not the noble
and newly painted dome of the
Capitol, itself. They came from
Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston. By far the greater number
were doves of Peace fiuttering by
thousands, with bright Peace banners
and with ribbons in their hair, that
is, feathers; and Peace bands about
their persons. Yet many hundreds
came who did not bear olive branches
in their hands, but with the rush of
eagles wings. These came bedecked
only with the little bows of red,
white and blue in their breast. They
were the loyal bands of Patriots, and
said so--Patriotic Pilgrims. They
looked much askance, and other
things, at their softer sisters, and
brothers, especially where the latter
clustered in great clouds on the high
tiers of the CapitoPs steps, and
swarmed through the maze of hall
ways, and blended their louder cries
with the cooling of the doves. They
seemed to question the reasonable
ness of the unsurpation of their old
established haunts by the gentle in
truders. For time it looked as if
the swarms would be prevented from
alighting by the resident jack-daws,
and in fact they were repeatedly
dispersed. But the eagle-like Pa
triots were not disturbed; there were
too few of Them
And yet another band appeared, a
band of mighty condors coming from
the furthest reaches of the CONT
nent. With them was to reside the

of all their fellow creatures. These
did not flock, nor did they hover, but

These men have recently submitted
a unanimous report recommending
the construction of tunnel.
The location fixed for the New Jer-
sey entrance to the proposed tunnel
is the block bounded by Grove,
Twelfth, Henderson and Thirteenth
streets, Jersey City, with the New
York enrance at either Canal street,
Spring street or West street. The
cost of land and easements on both
sides of he river is estimated at
something like $1,OOO,OOO so that the
total cost of the undertaking includ-
ing construction, land, easements, in
terest and axes during the construc-
ton and the $4,000 expended by
Public Service on its investigation,
would be $8,529,000 based on normal
prices for labor and materials. At
present abnormal prices the total
cost is figured at $10,618,000.
