CAPTURE OF LENS
SEEMS IMMINENT
AS General Haig's Forces Are
Rapidly Closing Around
That City French Merely
Trying to Hold Captured Po-
sitions- Greek Situation.
(By the Associated Press3

While General Haig is closing in
so closely upon Lens that the cap
ture by the British of that coal min
ing city and it's adjacent fields seem
imminent it is question whether
the British operations will be ac-
companied by an offensive move by
the French on like scale.
Altho there has been more or less
constant jockeying for position by
the two commanders along, the Aisne
and Champagne fronts, particularly
the former, the German activities
appear more like efforts to choke of
any possible extended moves by the
French than anything else.
On the other hand Gen. Petain's
occasional strokes give the impress
sion that all he is: trying to do is to
preserve his vantage point as the
basis for resuming the French ad-
vance at some future. time when
than effort seems. adyisfble.
The most important Of the recent
French drives was that Of Monday
at Hurtebise, west Of Craonne. The
Germans seem to -have suffered a
considerable deprivation herA one
lot! the positions taken being q for
tress of some magnitude which had!
served the crown prince we'll as a
point of departure for counter at
tacks. q
No further attempts TO retain the
lost ground at Hurtebise were made
last night, the Germans contenting
themselves with spirited lombard
meat.
The program of the entente in
Greece continues to develop more
and more tangible. It. is now their
evident purpose to cause the convo-
cation of parliament of May 81,
1915, which is controlled by the
Venizeloists having majority ia
vorable to the entente cause. 1t was
the dissolution of this parliament
by Constantine that has been de-
nounced as unconstitutional by the
allies, the act being one of the chief
counts of the indictment of Con-
stantine as betrayer of his people
into desertion of their natural al
lies.

POISON BEANS
WARNING ISSUED:
Shipment Of Deadly Variety
of Bean Family Somewhere:
in Middle West.

Fargo, N. D., June 26.-Beware Of
poison beans! This is the warning:
that has been sent out broadcast ov--
er the state and Dr. E. F. Ladd, state
pure food commissioner, expresses
himself as concerned over the daE4-
ger there is in the consumption nll
the beans.
The beans are said to be grywra
most extensively in the East Erd1es
They resemble the common navy
bean, being trifle larger and some
what fiat like the lima bean. They
contain large quantities of deadly
poison and practically all European
countries have strict laws prohibit
ing their importation. The United
States, however, has no special law
against them, federal officials rely
ing upon the enforcement of general
food regulations to keep them out
of the country.
Several days ago large shipment
of the beans slipped by customs Off
cials and was declared to be some
where in the middle west" before
the mistake was discovered. Food
experts at Washington Immediately
telegraphed to all states in the miGS

ger. ID s

son beans first. A food Inspector

Ladd here who in turn sent them to

GRAVITY OF SUBMARINE

Admitted by British
Naval Officials - German
Device .Nunifies Effect Of
British Nets Submarines
Again Reported in Western v E. j
Atlantic.
Try the Associat> d Press,


Providence, R. l., June 81
The Providence Journal today
says:
'"The United States government is
in possession of information which
has revived the belief that German
u boats are again on this side of the
Atlantic ana that they have estab-
lished base somewhere off the south
side of Cuba.
ut is declared by officers of the
navy that If this is so, these U boats
have either been preceded or followed
by one or more mercantile subma-
rines, which have carried extra sup
plies of torpedoes and oil.
American warships are conduct
ing ceaseless search along the sus-
pected shores for any trace of sub
marine bases.
"The increasing gravity of the U
boat menace is everywhere admitted
in the inner circles of the British
admiralty. This feeling is based, ac-
cording, to the statement made to the
Providence Journal by government
official whose knowledge of condi-
tions is unquestioned, on two import
ant facts. Neither has yet been
made public.

The house prohibition section alb

draft prohibits during the war the

ages and empowers the president to

him in his discrimination to permit

gives to the president the right to

Senator La Follettet is sour, crab
bed disappointed crouch, and has al
igned himself against his country in
the present war with Germany, where
the very future existence of the coun-
try Is at stake. He is doing more to
encourage disloyalty among the dis
loyal, and carrying more encourage
ment to the German nation than any
man in this or any other country.
His last peculiar effort in attempting
to strengthen the German cause Is the
introduction of a resolution in the
senate proposing the amassing of a
common fund by all the belligerants
for the restoration of battle-devast-
ated territory, which means the re-
Mobilization Of Belgium, Serbia and
French territory that Germany has
reduced to desert. 1t Is surprising
that La Toilette failed to attach a
rider to his resolution congratulating
the Kaiser upon the thoroughness of
his work in devastating the countries
that his armies have overrun. The
question might be put up to the sena-
tor for instance, If the people of Chi
cago should descend upon Milwaukee,
the chief city of Senator La Follette's
state, and wipe 1t out of existence,
would the senator consider the action
worthy of commentator and advise
the rebuilding of the devastated me-
tropolis by contributions from neigh
boring cities, and at the same time be
willing that the perpetrators Of the
outrage contribute modicum of the
necessary funds and go UNPUBLISHED
for the crime? The illustration is
parallel to the situation in Europe
Germany has swept large section of
neighboring countries with fire and
sword. 1t has spared neither age nor
sex. 1t has reduced destruction to an
art. 1t has shown no mercy. recog-
nized no law, human or divine. 1t has
conducted war of ruthlessness and
frightfulness. And yet there is an
American, honored with high office, so
lost to all sense Of justice as to sug-
gest that other nations should pay for
the work of devastation wrought by
a foe that, in the event of victory
would be as merciless in its treatment
OF America as it has been in its
treatment Of Belgium.

INSPIRED LOYALTY.

Below is published an extract from

ton here given was incorporated in a
long letter in which a dutiful son en-
deavored to convey consolation to
parents proud of the step he had
taken, yet bowed in grief that he had
to face the dangers inseparable from
war. This extract contains the very
essence of inspired loyalty to coun-
try, and the spirit therein manifested

that the true ring of patriotism, the
exposition of the duty every physical

his flag, may awaken the dormant
loyalty In the hearts of those who may
be inclined to hesitate and hang back

aid and support of every man and

and I sometimes wonder II I am do

Yet that doubt can not stand against
the necessities. While it is true that
the thousands who should go who are
waiting to be forced or hope to avoid
going, that fact imposes more emphat-
ically the duty upon us who can and
who believe that every man should do
his part-the duty of doing our part
and setting an example. Our going
is much stronger appeal than all
the fine words we could utter If we
were to stay at home. 1t is impos-

There is but one choice at this

looking everyone in the face, or the
humiliation of acknowledging fam

all do our bit now. This is no time to
wait on the other fellow. We must
answer for ourselves and let others
answer for themselves. There never
was time when the nation needed its
loyal sons more than now, and know
ing what I know, and believing as l
do, there is nothing else for me but to
offer my services. II l did less, you
would have reason to be ashamed Of
me, and as much as it distresses me
to cause you pain, 1 would rather
