Region; Holding Riverline at All Costs Vital to
Teuton Safety
FRENCH DRIVE AGAIN DEEP INTO
BOCHE FRONT AT AVOCOURT WOOD
(By Leased Wire to NeW Me1ican.)

FM w -NNONN - ~ " ~" HN""1@" EA4M
General Korniloff's armies in eastern Gaicia have been
held up for a time by the ~hurrying of heavy co~ntingents of
German reserves to the front, stiffening the Austrian defense
lalong the river Lomnica.
The holding of this river line is vital to the safety of the
tTeuonc position not only in this part Of the front, but north
ward to the Galician border and that stubborn resistance
would be offered there had been anticipated
Meanwhile there is notable activity along the Franco
Belgian front. The French at Verdun have just completed
an important operation in the realignment Of their front
northwest Of Verdun, which was disturbed by German attacks
in the vicinity Of Hill 304 late last month.
The French in fact carried their successful counter-attack
even beyond the original line and drove nearly t~wo-thirds of
a mile into the German front from Avocourt Wood to west of
Hill 304. As
The new ground is being firmly held, several counter
thrusts undertaken by the crown princess troops last night
being repulsed.
On the British front there is pronounced aerial activity
and there has been a notable amount of heavy work done by
the artillery, particularly along the lines in Belgium.
Today's official announcement from Petrograd shows the
Russians still to be hotly engaged in the Lomnica region and
holding their own against the reinforced enemy. South of
Kalusz the Austrians had never been forced across the Lom-
and they are continuing their violent reactions in this
region. Yesterday they drove the Russians from a height to
the south of Novica, but in a brilliant counterattack General
forces defeated them and recaptured the position.

Washington, July 18.-Opposition
from a small group Of senators of both
parties led by Mr.. LaFollette upset
plans today for having the senate pass
after brief debate the $640, 900, 900 avi-
alton bill. An hour of discussion dem
onstrated the futility of attempting to
put the measure through in a few
hours, as was done in the house, so
the food control bill, temporarily laid
aside, was taken up again.
Senator Chamberlain, in charge Of
both measures, Indicated that the avia-
tion bill probably would not be called
up again until next week after the
final vote on the food bill Saturday.
Senators Vardaman ,Hardwick and
Reed spoke during the hour against
the provisions for drafting men into
the aviation service.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma offered
an amendment to create a commission
to approve contracts for airplanes at a
maximum price of 20 per cent profit.
He said it was reported that 100000
would be charged for machines cost
ing but $4,000.
Senator Jones of Washington said
he feared a great part of the money
would be spent in organization, the
bill authorizing many generals, bri-
gades and regiments.

PoMERENE SUBSTITUTE
TO PREVENT GRAFT

Washington, July 1S,-The Pom
creme substitute to the food bill was
designed to meet objections to the
original amendment which would
have prohibited such persons from
selling to the government through any
company in which they were stock
holders of officers. The substitute
would permit service in an advisory
capacity with the existence of the in
terest disclosed. ar
Senators voting against the modi-
fled amendment were: Senators
Broussard, Cummins, Gore,
Gronna, Hardwick, Johnson, of Cali
fornia; Kenyon, LaFollette, Mcclellan,
McNary, Nelson, Norris, Ransdell,
Shields, Sutherland and Trammell.
Senator Reed said he opposed the
substitute because it would give sane
ton to the practice Of selling by gov
eminent officials to the government,
of supplies in which they are finan-
cially interested. For that reason he
would rather see the old law, enacted
in 1852, prohibiting that practice re-
lluil III CllCCC uilCoO LnC i OulCl OuC
amendment was amended.
Senator Pomerene warned against
enacting any legislation that would in
any way tend to disrupt the advisory
commission and criticised members OF
the senate for attacking officials Of
the government without verifying
their statements in advance. Charges
were repeated yesterday by Senator
Kenyon that the w. H. McElwain
company, a shoe concern of which J..
f. McElwain, chairman of the adivis-
DRY commissions shoe committee is
a member had been awarded con-
tracts to furnish 100, 900 pairs of army
shoes at SLY a pair, Is cents more
than the lowest bidder. Senator Pom
creme said he had been advised by
the secretary of war that this concern
had submitted no bids and received
no contracts since January 1, 1917.
Senator Tillman gave notice that
he would ask for a separate vote to-
morrow on the amendment proposed
by Senatr Smith, of South Carolina,
to have the government spend $lO,-
900, coo for fertilizer and furnish it to
farmers at cost.
Senator Reed proposed an amend
ment providing that the Pomerene
amendment should not be construed
as repeating the law of 1862.
Senator Pomerene insisted that as
his amendment provided for the with
drawal of any member from the com
mittee when any contract in which
he was interested came up, it did not
repeal the fundamental law.
Later Senator Pomerene announced
that after consulting with a number
of lawyers in the senate he was will
ing to accept Senator Reeds amend
ment which then was adopted with
out a record vote.

COUNCIL MAKES
STRONG APPEAL
(By leased Wire to New Mexican

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
P~etrograd, July 1S.-The outbreak
OF armed sailors and soldiers yester-
day was a repetition of those the day
before, except that they occurred at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, whereas, the
first outbreak occurred around mid
night.
The manifestants were grouped
along the same part of the Neysky
prospect. A number of stray shots
were heard, followed by the firing OF
rifles against upper windows and roof
tops at a seemingly imaginary foe.
The council Of the new body of SOL
diers, workmen and peasants Of all
Russia, the extremists abstaining
from participation, passed a resolu-
ton today after an all night session
rejecting with indignation all at
tempts to influence" the attitude of
that body.
1T is inadmissiDie," continues the
resolution, that armed demonstra-
lions should seek to impose the will
of isolated military elements upon
the whole of Russia. Blood has been
shed in the streets of P%etrograd. All
these acts towards our revolutionary
army, which is defending the con-
quests of the revolution at the front,
are acts of treachery and felony.
Whoever attacks the recognized dem
ocratic agencies, whoever sows dis
cord in their ranks, is striking a dag
gers blow in the back Of the revolu-
tionary army which is fighting
against the "d~eplorable symptoms OF
decomposition which compromise
the whole national authority and the
future constituent assembly and 1T
demands that an end be made once
and for all, ito all acts which dis
honor revolutionary Petrograd."

at a rate never before equalled.
Within the last ten days more than

The whiskey thus withdrawn is

Washington, July 1S.-The admins

O00, 900 for a great airplane fleet, was
taken up at an early session of the
senate today with leaders hoping for
immediate passage so that the meas
ure may be ready for the presidents
signature by tonight. A small group
of insurgents, led by Senator LaFol-
lette and Senator Gronna, however,
may delay passage by reopening de-
bate on the question of CONSUMPTION.
Senator Chamberlain succeeded in
securing consideration of the bill by
unanimous consent, and anticipated
objections to its provisions for draft
ing men into the air service by stat
ing that the wal department does not
intend to conscript men for the flying
corps proper but only for the ground
service.
Senator Curtis, who had asked about
that point, said he was satisfied with
the explanation.

ed and offered al amendment to strike
out the clause authorizing aviation
CONSUMPTION. The Georgia senator
was n of the leading opponents to

visions to which committee members
objected. After a discussion it was
concluded the bill should be reported
