Senator Chamberlain
Would Hang German Spies

Washington, July 4.-"Hang the
German spies without ceremony"
This was the demand of Senator
Chamberlain, chairman of the senate
military committee today. Simultan-
eously, he declared he had no doubt
that spies in government departments
in Washington are constantly sending
information to Berlin.
Following revelation that German
army and navy headquarters are get
ting steady flow of military secrets
from the United States, as evidenced
by Berlin IS war moves and publica-
ton in German newspapers, opinion in
Washington resolved itself into a con-
certed demand for exposure and execu-
tion of enemy agents
Recently it was openly charged on
the senate floor that there are 100000
German spies actively working in
America.
1T is my belief that information in
this country is sent to Germany
through wireless stations on the east
coast Of Mexico and in Venezuela, -
declared Chamberlain today. "The
navy department has the facts about
these stations. When the traitors are
found they should be strung up with
out the formality of trial by jury"

AUSTRIANS BADLY
CONTINUED from Page One.) }

Semi official dispatches from Petrograd
indicated capture of Brzezany, fifty
miles southeast of Lemberg is immi-
nent. The enemy has apparently aban-
doned the city. A steady stream of
prisoners is still pouring in behind the
Russian lines.
The greatest admiration for the thor
oughness or the job now being done by
General Brusiloff was expressed here
today by military experts. The only ap-
prehension was based ON the astonish-
ingly rapid progress achieved by the
Russian troops. One Of Hindenburg s
favorite tricks-whieh he pulled once
before on the Russians-is to permit
penetration OF his lines and then after
an enemy has progressed for a consid-
cradle distance through the break, to
attack at the point of penetration in
m effort to isolate the advanced troops
For that reason the hops was express
ed here that the Russians are consoli-
dating all their newly won positions.
The great number of prisoners taken
in the Russian offensive, more than
1900 to date, is significant, in the
opinion of military observers here, of
a breakdown in the Teutonic morale.
The Austrians for the most part, hold
the line through which the Russians
have penetrated. They were greatly
stirred by the success of the Russian
revolution and by unrest at home.
Probably also they have been conf
dent of the success of Germany s in
trigues for separate peace in Russia
and hopeful of continuation of the
fraternization which has long been in
vogue on this front. In this frame of
mind, to be called upon suddenly to
face foe reinvigorated by knowledge
that Russia S new found freedom must
be fought for, may have been too much
TOR the Austrian morale.
