Chicago, June is.Awidely circulated
false reports OF naval battles and dis
aster to American and entente forces
have reached the point where Secre-
tary Daniels has concluded that they are
the result Of an Organized conspiracy
TO alarm and distress the American
people. " ~
''The country is being poisoned by
rumors OF battle and disaster that are
without the slightest foundation" the
secretary said. Among the most per-
sistent Of these false reports Is one
that a naval engagement has taken
place bet ween the German fleet and
the combined fleets OF England and the
United States and I'm this battle sixty
English and American ships were sunk
or disabled. two Of the number being
the Pennsylvania and the Texas.
NO such engagement has taken
place. The American feet has not been
in action. No ship has been lost, The
declared policy Of the navy department
is one Of absolute 6penneSs. II dis
aster comes no effort will be made to
minimize Il The people Of the United
States are .askedSto trust in this pledge
and to aid in stamping out this cam
ipais of rs1nor, that Is so plainly the
product OF disloyalty."

Washington, JAne 9.-On the heels
OF the revelation Of the military COLI
lapse OF Russia comes the admission
today that the Italian drive virtually
has been stopped by the reinforcements
the Austrians and Germans have trans
ferred from the Russian theater OF war.
In explanation" an Italian official said
today:
'.At Jamiano the Italian troops arc
beyond the line they held until May
"a, when they made their great adj
vance. The Italians know that all tha
positions viii mean tremendous sacri-
fees In men and material for them.
but they are ready for these sacrifices.
which will determine the issue Of the
war between Austria and Italy.
Besides strongly reinforcing their
ines on the Isonzo front, the Austrians
have attempted a diversion on the
Trentino front. The diversion has
been unsuccessful, altho the Austrians
have achieved local success at ono
point on the Julian front.
Italy had been fighting for eighteen
days continuously when the Austrians
brought up reinforcements from tho
Russian theater and launched them
against section OF the Italian lines.
THE Italians were caught at Jamiano
while the reorganization OF the differ
ent units was In progress. Aftsr
eighteen days Of hard lighting 1t was
natural that lull should occur TO givo
the attacking army a period OF rest ami
opportunity for reorganization. The
psychological morhent for counter at
tack was well chosen by the Austrian
general stan and some Of the positions
which the Italians occupied In this
section OF the front on May "a passed
again into enemy hands"

London, June S--Detailed stories OF
the landing OF General Pershing and his
party at Liverpool and the arrival In
London fill large part Of the leading
news columns in the morning papers.
Arrangements for the stay OF the
Americans in England, plans for the fu-
ture, biographies and portraits Of the
American general and pictures of his
reception in Liverpool crowd the news
from the front into second place. The
editorials dwell on the significance Of
the arrival of the American advance
guard as the symbol of perhaps the
greatest event OF all in which we are
living-so visibly great that no one can
pretend to foresee what the full har-
vest will be for the English speaking
world and the sacred doctrines It ac
cepts.'
Emphasis is laid on the certainty OF
ticipation Of the Americans.
Psrshins Received by King.
General PershinE was received this
morning at Buckingham palace by King
George. He was presented to the king
by Lord, Brooke. compander Of the
Twelfth Canadian infantry brigade.
General Perehing was accompanied to
the. palace by his personal STAFF Of
twelve officers.
After the audience the officers paid
a formal call to the United States en-
bassy.
< After the formal reception the king
shook hands with General Pershing and
the members Of his staff. and expressed
pleasure at welcoming the adyance
guard of the American army.
The afternoon was taken up with
conferences at the war office. Tomor-
row General Pershing and his staff will
attend service at Westminster Abbey.
The general will dine with Ambassador
Page on Monday.@$at which time he will
meet Premier Lloyd George and his
chief associates In the cabinet. On
Tuesday evening members Of the Brit
ish cabinet will give a dinner to the
general.

Tropical City Beautiful.
Visitors to San Salvador have de-
scribed with enthusiasm tho beauty
of the town and the agreeable char
acter Of it's climate. Natives Of coun-
tries where atmospheric conditions
are more rigorous have found 1t ener-
waiting at frst, but soon become ac-
Iclimated.
Breezes from the Pacific help to
prevent high ranges OF temperature,
the maximum in August rarely ex-
ceeding 80 and the minimum seldom
going below 70 degrees,
With the exception Of the central
part Of the city, San Salvador has

Of tropical fruit trees.

The prevalent style OF architecture
fitted we'll with the adobe houses,
topped with tile roofs. Broad plazas
and spacious parks added to the at
tractive character OF the city, and
good roads. with brilliant electric
lights, added evidence OF financial and
commercial stability.
The suburbs and surroundings Of the
city are unusually attractive. with
many fine private homes dottins
masses Of shrubbery, trees and tropical
gardens.
AS the capital Of the most densely
populated country on the continent
San Salvador has occupied an impor-
tant position in the business world.
II has given business to three banks

and various factories.
Among it's manufactures were soap.
