PLEA FOR MORE HOGS
Department of Agriculture Tell Quick
Way to Get Meat.

Washington, June 30.-The praises
of the hog as a meat producing animal
are sung by the Department of Agri-
culture in appeal today to farmers to
raise hogs, and still more hogs as the
quickest and surest way of increasing
the nations meat supply.
The hog is the most important an
lmal to raise for meat and money"
the statement says. ''He requires
less labor, less equipment, less capt
tai and reproduces himself faster
than any other domestic animal. AS a
consumer of by-products the hog has
no rival. No other animal equals the
lard hog in its fat-stering tendencies.
There is no animal which produces
more meat and meat products

Washington, June Eighty-seven
Of the German merchant ships seized
in American ports at the outbreak Of
the war were turned over by Presi-

Shipping Board which proceeded with
out awaiting today's executive order
giving it formal jurisdiction.
The total tonnage of the 81 ships
exceeds 500, 600. Several have gone
to the War Department for trans

whether they are to remain under con-
troll of the department or Will revert

The ships retained for commercial
service will be put for the most part,
into transatlantic runs though sew

Pacific coast for repairs may be kept
in the Pacific.
The Shipping Board has announced

fleet the government is building. but
it is said vessels will be chartered for
single trips.
Practically all of the ships will soon
be repaired and in service.

cants. With formal response from

In his letter to DR.. Cannon, the
president said Senator Martin, Demo
! cratic leader had asked him to eX-
press his views on the food liquor
legislation regarding the "Wisest and
most patriotic policy to be pursued
! and added:
Il regard immediate passage OF tie
bill as of vital consequence to the
safety and defense of the nation 1t
has become evident that heated de-
bate will delay the passage Of the bi |
indefinitely if the provisions af-
frming the manufacture of beer ana
wines are retained and insisted upon.
In these circumstances | have not
hesitated to say to members of the
Senate who have been kind enough to
consult me that it would undoubted-
ly be in the public interest in this
very critical matter If the friends of
. CQOSe provisions SnOulu consent 10
their elimination from the present
measure. Feeling that your commit

motives which inspire me, l am con-
fideLt that the considerations viii
seem to you as they seem to me- to
be imperative"

tonight replied that while recognize
ing the force of any appeal from
the president and commander in chief
of the army and navy in time of
war;" definite answer would be de-
ferred until after conference with

sive. For the first time since the
revolution last March Russian troops
have begun an attack on an extensive
scale. Along a front of IS ] miles
in the region of BrZezany, Gal.cia,
Russian troops have stormed the Ger
.Aan positions. Berlin says the Rus
slams suffered heavy losses and were
compel ed to retire under the German
fire The attack was made between
the upper Stripa and the Narayuvka
river, tributary of the Gnila Lipa,
in the section southeast of Lembarg,
the Galician capital where the artil-
lery firing has been heavy recently.

to Lens.

New York July 2.-Prisoners eX-
ceeding 10000, and the capture of the
village of koniutchy and strongly for
titled positions southwest of Brze-
zany are the first fruits of the new
Russian attack. In eastern Galacia,
north of Koniutchy, the Russians have
attacked and fresh battles are in pro
gress.
The Russian artillery, long inactive
from lack Of shells, played an import
ant part in the defeat Of the Austro-
Germans at Koniutchy. For two days
a rain of iron was thrown into the
German positions, and Berlin says Of
ficially that they We're turned into
a crater field.
The Russians carried three lines of
German trenches and Koniutchy,
which was strongly fortified, and also
advanced to the Koniutchy stream
south of the village, which is on the
| Zlopa Lipa river
Take Fortified Positions.
Around Brzezany the fighting was
most bitter, and Berlin says that 16
Russian divisions We're thrown for
ward. The Russians carried the for
titled Teuton positions at several
! points in face of desperate resist
! ance by Austrian, German and Turk
ish troops.
Minister of War Kerensky, who led
the Russian revolutionary army in its
attack, in d message to Premier Lvoff
says that the offensive proved tG
| Russia and the entire world its fidel-
ity to the revolution, and it's love, fol
liberty and country" The premier
has authorized Minister Kerensky tc
give the regiments which participated

were brought about through the pres
sure of the leading entente powers,
the text of the official statement say
ing:
The Russian government having
been constrained to yield to the pres
sure of the leading entente powers,
part of the army has been induced to

The region of the Narayuvka and
upper Stripa rivers has been the
scene of much bitter fighting since
General Brussiloff ended his victori-
Gus campaign last year and Bryezany

British Nearer to Lens.
Field Marshal Haig continues to
tighten his grip on Lens. On the
north bank of the river Souchez, Brit
ish troops have captured German po-

heavy guns as well as much other
war material.
