It's understood here that the
peace address Of the chancellor,

number of times, although re-

WILSON FIGHTS
ANOTHER PART
OF FOOD Bill
Would Practically Disrupt
Council of National De
Tense, He Says.

Washingtno, July . President
Wilson has thrown the weight of his
personal influence against a provision
attached to the food bill which, it is
said, practically would disrupt the
great machinery of the council Of
national defense. The provision in
question would forbid any person con-
nected with the government from SELL
ing to 1t anything in which he has an
interest.
Inasnuch as the great business in
terests Of the country are represented
on the advisory committees Of the
council the enactment of the provis-
ion, the president thinks, would dis
rupt all the machinery set up for an
efficient economical conduct of the
war by marshalling the country's best
brains and resources.
President Wilson has written a let
ter to Senator McKellar, author Of the
amendment, saying such legislation
would be calamity. He pointed out
that business men on the committees
have not the power to demand the
price they shall receive for commodi-
ties sold the government. whether OF
not they are interested in them. All
sorts Of safeguards. the president
stated, have been taken to prevent
advantage being taken Of the govern
ment,

speaker. His address brought the

rounded by q large number Of stu

A. G. Townley, president Of the
league, was the last speaker. He
too, launched into a trade of abuse
against all opposition factions but the
Yact that two-thirds or more Of the
people present remained silent wher
he expected applause, prevented him
from becoming as radical as usual.
Although the picnic had been wei
advertised as Nonpartisan league
event, the festival here yesterday
proved conclusively that the leaders
Of the Organization are not popular
or held as idols by this community.

British Moving Ahead in the
Wytschaette District where

lRy Associated Press.l

General Brussilof seems to have
been arranging a surprise on the Rus
sian front, judging from reports from
Petrograd today Of violent fighting
in progress in the Pinsk district.
Apparently, the Austro-German at
tention has been centered on the
Galician district, where Brussiloffs s
offensive opened last Sunday, and only
last evening. the German official re-
port recorded the resumption Of heavy
attacks by the Russians.
Pinsk Fight Surprise.
There had been no mention in off,
cial statements recently Of Z any es-
pectal activity anywhere along the
Russian line except in Galicia and
the sectors Immediately adjacent on
the north and south. The report from
Pinsk, 1b0 miles north of the Galician
border, therefore has in it the element
of surprise for the world, If not for
the Germans.
British Drive Ahead.
On the .Franco-Belgian front. the
British have again made another for
ward thrust, slightly advancing their
line east Of Wytschaette, in the Bel
gian district, where General Plumer
blew the Germans out Of an extended
salient east of the Messines ridge last
month. With the French forces there
have been only artillery fighting and
trench raiding.
