and made for rifles and pistols. A
hand grenade tossed among them
closed the incident.
Later in the day the Germans were
seen assembling for a counter-attack.
The British waited until they had as
sembled in large numbers and then
turned a torrent of artillery fire upon
them, inflicting heavy losses. 1t was
not until Friday morning that the
Germans attempted another counter
attack. And then they succeeded
only in taking q small outpost which
had been established in front of the
newly won positions.
On the Messines front comparative
quiet reigns, the Germans having
fallen back to a line running due
north from Warneton. This abso-
lutely flattens the Wytschaete salient,
in which the Germans established
themselves in October, 1914, and
which completely protected the curv-
ing Messines- Wytschaete ridge, from
which the enemy made life miserable
in the low lying Ypres salient held
by the British. Artillerymen recent
ly taken prisoner say that many long
range guns now being used by the
Germans have 6een taken from war
ships. One prisoner said his guns
were from the Kaiser Barbarossa,
while many others were from same
class of ship. The feeling between
the German infantry and artillery is
becoming more intense and there is
general complaint OF insufficient
guns. . as5

Russians Have Not Forgotten
the Stokhod, Says Council
in Reply to Proposal for
Truce With Austria,

ESPECIAL copREsPoNpkScs 70 Mossns JouHNkll
Petrograd, June 10 twin London,
June t7).---A stirring proclamation
placing the council of workmen's and
soldiers delegates on record as ir-
revocably opposed 10 n separate peace
was adopted by the council today.
The proclamation was prompted by
Austrian efforts 10 lure Russia into 4
separate peace, and exhorts Russians
"to rally around the banner of revo-
luton and increase the energy of the
military power for the defense of
freedom"
The proclamation cites the receipt
of a wireless telegram from Prince
Leopold of Bavaria, commander of
the German armies on the Russian
front, asserting that the central
powers are ready TO conclude peace
with Russia ana asking Russia to
send delegates to confer with them
The reply of the council is a declara-
ton of its attitude and Minister of
War Karensky has caused it to be
sent to all troops on land and sea, and
1t has been widely circulated through
out the country.
Realizes What Defeat Means.
"Prince Leopold says he offers a
peace which need not necessltate q
break with the allies, He says that
because he knows an offer of sep
arate peace with Germany will be re-
'jected by our troops" reads the
proclamation.
Discussing tre projected truce with
Austria, the delegates declared that
they have not forgotten the Stokhod
and continues:
Leopold has forgotten. The Rus
slams know to what places German
divisions have been transferred-tht
Russians hear the roar of bloody
fighting on the Franco-British front
know that the wreck of the allies
means the wreck of the free armies
of revolutionary Russia--that il means
not only new graves of our brothers
but the wreck of revolutionary free
DOM"
The proclamation declares that
Russia will follow its own way to a
general peace in spite of provocatnry
efforts, and says;
Russia has undertaken TO unite
the democracies of all fighting coun-
tries in the struggle against world
autocracy, but her plan never will be
realized il German Imperialism Is able
to utilize Russia's longing for peace
to disunite her from her allies and
ruin her army.
Urges Army On.
THE revolutionary democracy OF
Russia is seeking a route to peace
through an appeal by the government
created by democratic Russia to the
governments of it's allies and by means
of an international conference of so
cialists.
Let the army by its energy and
courage give power to the voice OF
democracy"
While the foregoing dispatch re-
fers to Austrian efforts toward sep
crate peace with Russia and men
tions Prince Leopold, a German
prince, 1t is probable that Leopold
acted as intermediary for the AUS
trians. recent dispatch, later de-
MED by Vienna, reported the Austrian
officers had entered the Russian lines

TO guard the building where the govern

Foremost In the category Of the false
