Seek Source of SuppOrt.

Washington, July 11.-Entry of the republican troops into Peking was ar- nounced in a dispatch to the Chinese legation today, indicating that the monarchial coup d'eta. had come to complete failure.
 The dispatch was :he first in two weeks to come through direct from the Picking foreign office. A second and final abdication of the Manchu enlceror, Hsuan Tung, it said, is ex- pected, along with the arrest of Gen. eral Chang Hsun, the military adven- turer responsible for the coup, order ed taken into custody by the new president.
 General Chang has withdrawn to the imperial city, a sacred section of Picking, where 1t is reported his troops are deserting him. Escape is cut off, the republicans controlling all four railroads out of the city.
 Enquiry undoubtedly will be mada to determine the source of Chang's support. On June 22 he asked the Japanese minister at Picking what Japan's attitude would be toward restoration of the monarchy, and re- ceived the reply that Japan would not concern herself with internal Chi nese affairs.

battle-ground Has Reached Foothills of Carpathians,
 Along Extended Front.
GERMANS BEGIN
 NEW OFFENSIVE
Make Strong Attacks Against British Lines in Belgium, But Fail to Hold Gains Made, Counter Attacks
 Proving Most Effective.
Associated Press Summary).

 Having broken the strong Austro- German line in the vicinity of Halicz the Russians have pushed forward from Halicz toward Lemberg, the ! capital of Galicia, and from Stanis- law. south of Halicz, westward to- wards the line of the Dneister.
 After the capture of Halicz, on the front from Halicz to Zolotzin, about 30 miles to the south, General Cornuloff forced the AustroG Germans to con- tinue their retreat.
 In their advance from Halicz, the Russians forced the retreating enemy across the Lomnicka and occupied two towns on the western bank. The next natural barrier is the river Stoka, about six miles west of the Lomnicka.
 South and west of Stanislaw, the Russians have reached the Posiecz- Lesiuzka -KarnatZ line. the central point of which, Lesiuzka, is four miles west of the river Bystritza. This line is about seven miles of KalusZ. the nearest large town west of Stanislaw. and which is situated in the bend of the Stoka river.
 The extension of the Russian fight ing line to Zulotzin brings the battle ground into the foothills of the Carpa- 1hians.
 On Thursday the Russians captured 5000 more prisoners and 30 guns, bringing their total captures from July 8 to 10 to more than 10000 of ficers and men and 80 guns.
 Berlin gives no details of Tuesdays fighting in Galicia, merely stating Movements south of the Dneister have been executed until now as planned"
 On the Belgian coast near Dun kirk, the British and Germans are fighting again along the Yser, the scene of many hard fought battles. By destroying bridges across the Yser between Nieueport and the North Sea coast, the Germans were able to advance and occupy isolated sections.
 Berlin claims the capture of 1,200 prisoners, in the penetration of 600 yards on front of 4,20o yards.
 Further inland, near Lombaertzyde. the Germans did not have as much success. After gaining some ad- vance positions the British threw their attacks back by a counter at tack.
 Violent artillery fighting occurred Wednesday on the Aisne and Cham pagne fronts in France and east of the Mouse, in the Verdun region.
 Northwest of Selo, on the Carso, the Italians have occupied the Austrian town of Dolina.
 A slight decrease in the effective ness of the submarine campaign against British shipping is noted in the weekly report of British losses.
 Fourteen merchant vessels of over 1,6OO tons were sunk the last week, in comparison with 15 the previous week. Under 1,600 tons, three were lost, a decrease of two.
 With one exception, the loss is tAe lowest of any week since Great Britain begin issuing weekly reports of her losses four months ago.

Progress on Food Bill.

Washington, July 11.-Considerabl progress toward a. compromise on food control legislation was made to- day in the senate, but several inn portant features still are to be worked out and the whole outlook remains uncertain.
 On the floor, perfunctory debate continued on the administration bill, which leaders virtually had agreed to abandon, but in the agriculture com- mittee such headway was made in consideration of Senator Cores sub stitute measure that members said final committee approval was with held only because of minor details.
 The committee however. virtually washed it's hands of the troublesome prohibition issue, voting to put into the substitute the same regulations which the senate already had ap- proved. These would prohibit the manufacture or importation of dis titled liquors and would also provide for government acquisition of all liquors now in bond at cost, plus 10 per cent The latter provision. em- bodied in the Shoot amendment, has been under repeated attack both from "wets" and "drys" since it's adoption.

GREEK ARMY WILL
 BE ENLARGED ID
 TEN DIVISIONS
Entente Commissioner Jon- mart Says Recruiting Will
 Start For This End.

Roame, July 1.-The Greek army is to be increased from three to 10 divisions, the equipment of which is to be completed within four months, according to plans outlined today to- the Associated Press by Charles C. A. Jonnart, entente high commissioner in Greece, who has reached Rome on his way to Paris.
 "Concerning recruiting, there can be no doubt, MT. Jonnart said. "This will remain wholly with M. Venizelos and the Greeks. In the matter of mu- nitions, heavy artillery and other SUD- plies and equipment, the cooperation of France and Great Britain will be required. Our military advisers who accompany me have exact details in regard to just what this equipment must be in order to make the new Greek divisions thoroughly effective, and I am confident this branch of the reconstructive work will be carried out within the next four months. The army is being reorganized on a most efficient basis.
 After being torn by internal dis sension for the last two years Greece finds her financial resources sadly depleted and she needs and expects friendly cooperation and assistance of those great powers which wish to see the smaller nations placed on a firm and enduring foundation. Great Britain and France may be depended on for the army reorganization, and in the same way we shall hope to have the powerful assistance of the United States in realizing effective re- organization of the civil branch. Americas cooperation will be most precious factor"

 Control Bill Progresses.

Washington, July 11.--President Wilson appealed to the country's business interests tonight to put aside every selfish consideration and to give their aid to the nation as freely as those who go out to offer their lives on the battlefield.
 In statement addressed to coal operators and manufacturers. he gave assurance that just prices must be paid by the government and the pub lie during the war, but warned that no attempt to extort unusual profit will be tolerated.
 "Your patriotism" said the presi- dents appeal, "is of the same self denying stuff as the patriotism of the dead and maimed on the fields of France, or it is no patriotism at all Let us never speak, then, of profit and patriotism in the same sentence"
 The president declares there must be but one price for the government and for the public. He expressed con- fidence that business generally will be found loyal to the last degree. In unmeasured terms, however, MT. Will son condemned the ship owners of the country for maintaining sche7 dule of ocean freight rates which has placed almost insuperable ob- stacles" in the path of the govern ment.
 "The fact is," he asserted, "that those who have fixed war rates have taken the most effective means in their power to defeat the armies en- gagged against Germany"
