London, June S.-Irish troops won
the day for Great Britain in the
Wytschaete battlefield yesterday. Men
from the south of the Green Isle
stormed forth side by side with us
terttes. To them was credited TODAY
the victory that resulted in the crush
ing In of the salient below Ypres.
Australians and New Zealanders gal
lantly held up their end of the flanks.
Thus Messines Ridge was carried.
The toll Of prisoners this evening
had grown to 6.4OO. The battle Is by
no means over yet. All along the
nine-mile front on which the British
second army swept ahead yesterday,
the teutons massed troops today, and
their guns developed a significant
zest. Three counter attacks were
la aunched in the last twenty-four hours,
but they were weak. The Germans
were still stunned by the surprise
shaking burst of one million pounds
OF ammunition. At isolated points
strong Bavarian detachments were
stih holding out today between Wyt-
schaete and Messines. There positions
form pockets in the new British lines.
To relieve these, the Germans are ex-
pected to send fresh reserves into
battle simultaneously with an effort
to recapture the ridge.
Berlin today admitted a German
withdrawal to a prepared position.
The kaiser's war Office conceded pcne-
tratien Of the Teuton lines at three
points. Fifteen entente airplanes were
brought down yesterday, the German
statement asserted.
The German crown prince is con-
tinuing his violent attacks on the
French on the Aisne and Champagne
fronts. Thus far, according to Paris,
he has obtained no results.

Pennington, N. J., June S.-Grue
some evidences Of a brutal triple MUIR
der were discovered early today by
residents living on the outskirts Of
this community when the charred
bodies Of William II. Queen, we'll
known farmer, his wife, and their
grown daughter were taken from the
ruins Of their home, which had been
destroyed by FIRE.
Neighbors were attracted to the
Queen homestead by a glare of light
against the sky, but when help ar
rived II was too late to save the
family. The condition Of the bodies
when recovered proved to local au-
thorities that the family had been
murdered and the home subsequently
set on fire and destroyed.
No reason is known for the murder,
the Queens enjoying a wide acquaint-
ance and having no known enemies.
Examination of the scene today in
dicated the murderer set fire to the
house and outbuildings and then, when
Queen and his wife went to investi-

with an axe.
Their bodies were found riddled by
loads from a shot gun and choked by
the murderer to make sure they were
dead. The body of the daughter, clad

is no basis for the widespread re-
ports that the physical requirements

Unwise Procedure.
On the other hand, it was asserted,
the department is convinced that such
pre- cedure would be most unwise, In
view OF the certain increase in sick
lists which would result from such =
policy. - ~. ~ .
Il also was stated that the depart
ment believes the men who will be
brought in under the draft will for the
most part be ADLER physically than
the general run OF volunteers, and
that a lowering Of the standards will
be unnecessary.
Provost Marshal General Crowder Is
more optimistic on this score than
other officers, however. He has de-
clared he expects to secure 625 600 ac-
ceptable men out of the first J. 10000
names drawn. This would be a loss
of only about 80 per cent through ex-
emptlon for both physical and indus
trial reasons.

Stan men-believe that only one out
Of four can be secured at the best, or
nearly 100000 names will have to be
drawn TO secure the quota of $1,000.
