REGIMENTS DESERT
Bohemians Quit Austria and Rally to
Russian Cause.

Amsterdam, June 25.-Three Czech
regiments have deserted to the Rus
slams, according to a statement on Sat
urday to a committee of deputies from
southern Austria by F. Won Georgi,
minister of defense in the retiring
Austrian cabinet, as published in the
Lokal Anzeiger and Tageblatt of Ber-
lin.
The statement was made during a
discussion of the demand of the Czech
deputies for the release of Herr Klo-
fac, who was sentenced to death on
the charge of attempting to reconcile
Russia and Bohemia. The sentence
of Herr klofac, a deputy and head of
the Czech union, was cancelled by
Emperor Charles but he still is held
in prison.
Herr Won Georgi said Czech legions
had been formed in all the armies of
Austria's enemies and that, of all the
Czechs of military age who were in
Russia when the war began, only
three had returned to Austria. He
also said that Herr Pavlu, formerly
director of the Bohemian newspaper,
Narodni Listy of Prague, had boosted
publicly In Russia that, when an en-
sign in the Austrian army he had de-
serted to the Russians after his COM
panions had killed Austrian outposts.
Herr Won GeOrgiS statements are said
to have made a great sensation. The
Czech deputies, angered by them
charged that they had been made in
a Vengeful spirit on account of the
TACT that the ministry had been forced
to resign

OFF In A NEW DRIVE?
British Moves Indicate Another Tell
ing Blow by Hays Men.
(By the Associated Press.)

The British front in northern
France is again developing signs of
renewed activity. Today's British Of
ficial statement details an unusual
number of raids carried out by the
British in every important sector from
Belgium to st. Quentin. Operations
by raiding forces on this scale are
usually the prelude to offensive move
ments of moment. General Haig has
not struck a hard blow on any extend
ed front since the week of the Mes
sines fighting, when the famous ridge
on the Belgian front was captured and
the way prepared for further smash
ing operations in this sectory. Incident
to last nights raids were local opera
tons that gained ground for the Brit
ish below Lens and northwest of
Warneton, in the Messines area.
There is a momentary lul1 in the
infantry activities on the Aisne front.
The French have succeeded in re-
establishing almost in its entirety
their line in the Vauxaillon area dent
ed by the crown princes forces in d
sudden drive on a narrow front last
week. Further fighting is in pros
pect east of this sector in the Skin
mishing for position on the part of
the two armies, each anxious to gain
dominating points for either often
sive or defensive purposes In this
connection the artillery activity ref
ported today along various portions
of the Chemin-Des-Dames plateau is
significant.

Charles T. Lucas, who admits he is

and puts the situation in a nutshell
by declaring that aeroplanes are the
solution of the war.
Lucas continues by declaring tina.
gasoline, thousands of gallons of 1T,
should be carried aloft in the allied
aeroplanes. This gasoline, he declares
should be dropped on the Germnas in
the trenches and then explosive
bombs dropped on top of the gaso-

U. S. SHIP TO RESCUE
Fired at U-Boat just After Latter
Sunk British Steamer.

Montreal, June 25.-The British
steamship Ortolan, vessel of 2,145
tons gross, was torpedoed and sunk
by a German submarine June IA, and
three members of her crew lost their
lives, according to survivors of the
ship who arrived here today.
The Ortolan was sunk without
warning and not until the crew were
in their lifeboats did they get sight
of the U-boat. An American vessel
which was about four miles from the
scene of the sinking ship came to the
rescue and several shots were fired
at the submarine from guns on board
that ship.
