Austrians Attempt to Retake
San Giovanni From the
Brave Italians.
GERMANS RAID TRENCHES
In Champagne Foe is Hurled
From Vantage Ground
Previously Gained.

The Austrians, in their attempts to
recapture San Giovanni, on the south
ern portion of the Carso plateau,
came into a terrible hand to hand
fight with the Italians. Among the
Italians was Gabriel D'Annunzio, the
poet and playwright, whose word and
example animated the soldiers in the
heroic struggle which resulted in the
humiliation Of the enemy.
A state Of virtual inaction prevails
on all the war fronts. In only one the
alter has there been any fighting wor-
thy OF note. This was in the Cham
pagn region of France, where the
French, counter-attacking heavily
against positions northeast Of Mount
Haut, where Wednesday night the
Germans in a violent offensive had
captured trench elements, drove out
the Teutons Thursday and re-estab-
lished their former front in its entire
ty. ~
To the,west, in the region lying be-
tween Rheims and Scissors, there
has been continuation of the spirited
ARTILLERY duels on various sectors.
The intensive fighting along the
southern portion of the Austro-Italiar
front has apparently entirely ceased
for the moment, the Italians probably
b eng engaged in consolidating posi-
tons won and in bringing up thei
guns for further operations in thei
campaign against Triest. Along thu
Isonso line only artillery duels have
been in progress, owing TO baC
weather conditions.
J Italians Take Albanian Villages
There has been a renewal of activi-
ty by the Italians in Albania and seve-
raj villages in the southern part of this
theater have been taken and held sue
cessfully against counter attacks OF
the Teutonic allies. Eastward on the
entire Macedonia front artillery duels
are in progress.
An indication of the heavy fighting
during the month of April is given in
an official British statement of casual
ties during this period, showing that
1l2, 233 British soldiers were killed,
wounded or made prisoners. Includ.
ed in the aggregate are 1902 officers.

PANCHO NOT In ATTACK
Rebels Loot Homes After Two
Hours Battle Gives Them
Victory.

Preside, Texas, May 30.-Francis
Covilla holds a border post opposite
an American town and again United
States troops are patroling the border
while Villa cavalrymen are operating
on the southern bank Of the Rio
Grande.
Ats o'clock Wednesday morning
approximately 200 Villa followers
dashed into the little border town Of
Oiinaga, oppoeite here shouting "Vi-

Suoday night to engage the Villa COM
mand which was encamped at La
Muela pass, thirty-fve miles south Of
the border. These forces are expect
ed to return tonight in. an effort to
drive the Villa troops from the town.
Fifty Of the government force OF sew
enty-five men in Oiinaga succeeded
in escaping across the river to Presi.
Tdio. Women and children followed
behind them, carrying babies and
bundles. Of the Is government sol.
diers remaining 16 were killed during
the fighting, six were taken prisoners
and three wounded.
REBELS LOOT HOMES.
| The battle lasted two hours, after
which the shops and homes of the
| Ojinaga residents were looted.
| Whether Villa was with his troops
has not been confirmed. NO one was
permitted to cross to the Mexican side
tonight. Mexicans coming to the
American side say they heard repoi 4,

Chico Cano lea the Villa forces into
the plaza. Martin Lopez, Jose Ynez
Salazar and Carlos Montoya were re-
ported to have been with him in the
attack.
Reports of a fight yesterday be-
tween 600 rebels and government
troops under Generals Garcia and
Figuero, fifteen miles southeast of La

border, were brought here today by
refugee Mexicans. They said the
government forces suffered heavey
losses and were forced to retire.

Adopts Amendment Provid-
ing Prison Sentence for
Storage to Initiate Prices.
BLOW TO FOOD GAMBLING
Secretary Of Commerce to
Be Authorized to Catch
and Market Fish.

Washington, June 1.-Hoarding,
storage or destruction Of food, fuel or
other necessities of life to limit supply
to affect prices would be felony I'M
der an amendment to the govern
ments first food bill adopted in the
senate today without a record vote.
Several senators protested that the
provision was too drastic and would
prevent legitimate storing to equalize
markets but all efforts to modify it
failed. When Senator Fall proposed
that the federal trade commission be
empowered to decide whether storing
is reasonable, Senator Poindexter,
author Of the amendment, insisted
that any such change would weaken
the effectiveness of the measure as a
weapon against speculation.
Violation of the section would be
punishable by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than six
months nor more than three years.
Holding by farmers or others Of the
products of land cultivated by them
is exempted.
Consideration of the administration
bill, which provides for food supply
and stimulation of production, neared
the final stage today but the introduc'
ton of a number of amendments
shortly before adjournment probably
will prevent a final vote before Sat
urday.
amendment which would author
ize the secretary of commerce to taxi
steps to promote more general use o
fish to relieve the food stringency
was offered by Fletcher. 1t would
permit the secretary to catch and
market fish.

ASHAMED OF
HIS GOVERNMENT
Greek Secretary at Washing
ton Hands in His Res
ignation.

Washington, June is. X. Con-
stantinidi, First Secretary of the
Greek legation here, presented his
papers of resignation to the State
Department and announced his allegi-
ance to the forces of Venizelos. His
action, because of his long connection
with the Greek Foreign Office, gave
the diplomatic corps shock.
Mr.. Constantinidi declared he had
been disconnected with being con-
nected with King Constantine's Gov
eminent ever since the United States
declared war.
Gas / see it," he said, 1T is the
duty of every humane and honest
man to arraign himself on the side OF
America and the Entente. The whole
terrible situation has narrowed down
to a simple question of humanity and
civilization against German barbarity
and bestiality of type almost beyond
human belief. When nation of peo-
pie calling themselves civilized human
beings begin to sink hospital ships,
murder women and children and use
their dead for manure it is time for
all decent men to turn their faces
away"

ready Subscribed For
Bonds.

HopkInsville and Christian county
reached its highest point Thursday
night at the mass meeting at Virginia
Park. More than 500 people were
present despite the many other at
fractions.
Messrs F. F. Walters, Jno. Sites,
Alvan Clark, Jno. c. Duffy, Jas. A.
Mckenzie, G. L. Campbell and c. r.
Clark made stirring speeches. Mr..
Ira L. Smith presided over the cere-
monies. The talks were earnest
appeals to every man to do his part
to help win the war and spoken were
from the heart.
The sentiment of the people was
expressed when one of the speakers
said, "a candidate who has never
given son to the army or does no
wear Liberty Bond button need no
apply for my vote"
The farmer especially should buy
bonds. He is exempt from military
service, his sons are exempt and hi
gets top prices for his crops. Tit
least he can do for his country is t.
buy bond.
The people Of Christian count.
might take some pointers from com
munity of German peasants in Penn

whole pro rata of Liberty Bonds il

munity say they came to America t.
escape Prussian militarism and have

money and are willing to die if neces
sary to preserve the honor of thu
United States.

Chicago, May 28.-Predictions that the 1917 corn crop would break all records for magnitude of yield sent prices for that cereal whirling down ward today. There was a general rush to unload holdings. Prices in some cases showed drop of Sc a bushel.

NEGROES SEEK RETURN
 FROM AFRICAN SHORES

Washington, May 2S.--With dreams of wealth unrealized and faith in pro- motors destroyed, hOmesick Ameri- can negroes have petitioned the act- ing governor of the Gold Coast colony in Africa to send them back to Texas and other southeastern states, which they left in 1914, under the sway of the arguments of Chief Sam, who pictured lives of ease. The negroes turned over to Sam varying sums of money with the understanding that he would land them on the Gold Coast, where they would receive titles to their own lands.
 Ambassador Spring-Rice has noti- fled the state department that the in- dications are that Chief Sam grossly misled the immigrants and finally de- serted them, leaving many in destftu- tion. Whether any governmental as- sistance will be given to the negroes so that they may return to the Ameri- can cotton fields is unknown.
