SOusa to Give World
His New Masterpiece

Chicago, June 1.-Lieutenant John
Philip Sousa is to give the world a
new masterpiece-the "Naval Reserve
March. -
The famous bandmaster confirmed
this today before leaving for New York
where, he said, he will collect a Gear
load" of music for his 200 piece band
at the Great Lakes naval training sta
tion.
The march win have for theme the
new song, "Blue Ridge which Sousa
wrote since taking charge of the naval
reserve band. The songs refrain is
simple melody that informs the old
Blue Ridge and Little Nell, the village
belle, that "I hear you calling me-. /"
"Soldiers don t want songs about
themselves or their patriotism" the
march king said. They want songs to
relate the things they dream about and
remember back home, or their great
ideals-the things of the soul, and not
of the might of their arms.
Sousa, by the way, experienced one
of the quickest promotions on record.
He enlisted in the naval reserve as a
common seaman and "a hours later
was a lieutenant, by special dispense
ton of the navy department, that he
might hold the same rank as when he
directed the famous Marine band in
Washington.

Continued Italian Success
Causes Depression in BO-

Rome, June Italy s great offensive
has already cost the Austrians 100000
in killed, wounded and missing, accord

The italians are now consolidating,
reinforcing their lines with new troops
and re-fortifying positions, but con
tinue to infiict frightful losses on the
enemy by repelling counter attacks
From semi-official sources these in
stances were obtained today, illustrat-
ing the tremendous losses of the en-
emy's forces:
On May 10 four divisions (approxi-
mately 10000 troops) which vainly de-
Tended positions between Auzza and
Frigido, were practically wiped out.
On the next day two desperate at
tempts to recapture Allingortmont, po-
sitions in the Vodice sector and around
Massif cost the Austrians at least three
full regiments.
Front dispatches today declared these
vast losses and in the incessant pound

achieved telling effect ON the enemy.
Prisoners told of exhausted regiments
and loss of morale.

Italians now hope to take Trieste with
the smallest amount of destruction pos
sible to that historic city. The guns Of
allied warships in the gulf will not be
directed on the city if it is possible
to avoid it. Tricste's occupation is now
considered only a question of weeks.
Reports received today said that the
continued Italian success had created
great depression in Bohemia, where
there have been numerous food riots
and demonstrations against the dual
monarchy's grip.

Petrograd juno MANY of Russia s
soldiers are so busy acquiring an edu-
cation that they have not time to fight.
They are crowding the children out of
the schools. In many sections they have
started schools of their own.
Minister of War Kerensky has had
tremendous success in instilling the
fight spirit in the troops actually at
the front, but there are thousands of
fighters who still roam about freely
over Russia or else have laid down the
rifle for the school book.
Here in PetrogTad a Jaeger regiment
opened "soldiers university" where
fighters are taught mathematics and
history. At Polecon the soldiers have
usurped the desks of children in the
schools. At Samara the munitions work
ers have felt the same yearning for
knowledge and have opened schools
alongside their factories.
"Darkest Russia, is no more-and
the people as a whole, now seeing the
light, want knowledge to guide them
in the dazzling glare of their new
found freedom.
Men Visit Homes
Extraordinary efforts are being made
all over the country to back up Minis
ter Kerensky's appeals to make the
soldiers fight Notwithstanding this,
all trains are crowded with uniformed
men, visiting their families or just
wandering around.
To stop the practice Of soldiers wan
deYing around Russia foot loose, Pre-
mier Lvoff today issued an order to
all government commissioners through
out the provinces to "take speedy and
energetic steps TO return deserters to
the front"

from Petrograd of the weekly Yladi-
vostok express. Scores of soldiers elung
to the doors, the rails-even the roofs
of the cars, SO desperote were they
to reach their homes. ] was told the
sight was no means unusual. These are
the men on whom the government is
now exerting every possible persuasion
to make them see that the new liberty
they enjoy must be fought for and won
on the battle field.
Food Troubles Numerous
Food difficulties still give trouble.

HOOVER'S REQUEST
OF LABOR PRESS

In common with other labor pa
pers The Journal received the fol-
lowing letter from Herbert Hoover,
manager of food controls:
To win this war for democracy,
and win it quickly, America must
contribute food supplies to our al
lies.
We must conserve our food and
reduce food prices. Suggestions
that apply to those who live need
lessly extravagant do not apply to
those who are economical by habit
or from necessity.
Because the American labor press
has thus far been Of service in the
campaign for food conservation, may
| expect, in the interest of democracy
and social development, your sup
port in a more intensive educational
campaign?
That organized labor in your To-
cality may be thoroughly acquainted
with the purpose of this campaign,
will you publish very short article
every week which | will mail you
without cost?
Our food conservation plan does
not include a lowering of the work
ers' living standard. A lowering
of standards of extravaganza might
lengthen the lives of the people who
ordinarily can afford to be wasteful,
but if the workers standards are low
cred their producing stamina is de-
creased and their lives are shortened
the nation suffers a double loss.
By careful study of our supplies
and our markets, and by recommen-
dations in regard to substitutes, we
hope that diets can readily be ar
ranged that will not only be salts
factory in every way, but cheaper
than those now consumed, and will
free those commodities for export
which our allies and our soldiers need
abroad.

DAIRYMEN ARE TO
OPERATE THEIR OWN
CONDENSERIES

Cooperative condenseries may be
the next step in the development of
the Washington dairy industry.
Because existing privately owned
condenseries are paying the farmers
on the theory that their milk con-
tains only 81 to Az per cent of
butter fat, while the farmers de-
clare they are actually furnishing
milk that runs from Az to per
cent of butter fat, the producers have
determined to enter the field for
themselves.
At meeting in Burlington Sat
urday, 700 dairymen of Whatcom,
Skagit and Snohomish counties, rep
resenting $4,000 cows, voted a fund
of 100000 for the condenseries pro-
ject. At the head of the movement
