Austria's s Supply

LONDON, June 19.-Austria's grain

This message quotes an interview

VIII ch the minister confirmed the news
Of the recent reduction in the Austrian
bread ration. This, he said, was due to
insufficient supplies from Bessarabia
and hungary.
The entire 1917 harvest from these
sources had been distributed and con-
sumed, the minister stated, and the Ru-
manian harvest had also been used up,
bringing the entire process of replen-
ishment to full stop, The government
therefore being obliged to reduce the
ration.
The supplies exported from the
quantity, while the agreement that had
been made with Germany several
months ago had been alter - with Ger
many taking over the entire distribu-
ton Of the Ukrainian supplies. Of
these Austria was guaranteed certain
quantities.
Herr Paul arrived in Berlin on Tues

the military authorities.

Enemy Hurls Three Divi-

in Effort to Take City
(By The Associated Press)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE. June 19.-Large units of
German shock troops which had been
concentrated on the western side of
Rheims. between Vrigny and Ornes,
and which went over to assault last
night, we're met with such an awful
fire from the French defence that they
were unable to make the slightest
progress. They suffered such losses
after trying time after time to reach
the French positions that only few
of the attackers were able to return
to their own lines.
When the Germans launch ID their
attack their intention was to deal
heavy counter blow to compensate for
their failure to capture Compiegne.
Fprty thousand troops participated in
the assault They were ordered to
carry the city at al costs.
At every point they were repulsed
with heavy losses. In most gallant
manner the French troops prevented
the enemy from scoring even an in
ltlal success. The art. llery preparation
lasted for several hours and was one
OF the most terrific yet carried out.
High explosives from hundreds of can
non intermingled with numerous poi
son gas shells.
To the east of Rheims the Germans
at first made some advance. but were
soon thrown back to their original posi-
tlons, and considerable number of
them were taken prisoner.
At noon to-day the gunfre was still
very heavy, but the attack may for the
moment be regarded as complete de-
feat for the attacking forces.
The attack on Rheims. was executed
by four separate columns of troops.
The first converged on Zouaves' Wood.

mentary footing in the French lines,
but was Immediately elected with heavy
losses.
The second debouched near the ar

tions. The third co.umn tried to reach
the Constantine farm and proceed in
the direction of Haubette, west of
Rheims. but was unsuccessful. while
the fourth operated between Rigny and
Ormes, bearing chiefly toward the last
named village, but equally without re-
suit
The Germans suffered severe casual
ties in the latter region.
The admirable counter battery work
OF the French gunners upset all the
German plans, their shells doing great
execution among the enemy. Enemy

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-The

decided to-day to call up the Susan
3. Anthony amendment resolution

AS the lineup apparently stood
tonight, the suffragists are still
about two votes short of the neces-
sary two-thirds majority. Although
a hurried canvass after the meet
ing of the committee failed to re-
veal any change on the part of the
ants which might have inspired the
committees decision, Republican
Senator'S asserted that not only
two-thirds, but possibly three
fourths, of their voting strength
would be mustered for the resoiu-
ton.
The suffragists base their conf
dence on the belief that President
Wilson can swing enough votes to
the resolution to insure victory.

LoNDoN. June 19.-All the later re-

buying their positions at tremendous
cost. Nowhere along wide front has
the enemy advanced without paying
heavy price and nowhere has the Ital-
ian defence been penetrated to any
considerable depth.
The middle and lower Piave have
been the scenes of the hardest fight
ing, the region of the Montello be-

vantage still in favor of the Italians.
According to the latest esspa;cnes, the
enemy holds rather less than third
OF the hill, the positions at the high
est PORT remaining in the hands Of the
Allies.
At one time here on Monday the
situation seemed rather unfavorable
for the defenders, but a smart counter
blow hurled the enemy back at the
critical moment, and he has not re-
covered since.
Everywhere the Italians are firht-
ing gsllantly, and the morale Of the
army remains excellent. Behind the
Italian lines are large reserves which
stand ready to enter the battle when
