FRENCH REJOICE
OYER BIG VICTORY
Consider the Failure of German Attack
on Rheims as an Augury of Good
Things for the Allies.

Paris, June 20.-The sangiinary de
feat suffered by the Germans before
Rheims is pointed to by the morning
newspapers as an excellent augury fol
the allies in the operations to come The
military experts, the Havas agency
notes, are displaying particular satisfac-
tion over the outcome, regarding it as
further proof of the exhaustion of the
crown princes army, which is showing
itself incapable of prolonged efforts
The commentators, however, do not
seek to minimize the ability displayed
by the defenders, and to remarkable ar
tillery barage fire, the notable resistance
of the infantry and the irresistible eoun-
ter attacks of the brave colonial troops
under General Gouraud.
Never did so important an attack fail
so completely" the Petit Journal re-
marks.

CARRYING TELECRAMS
FILED FOR THE WIRE
Is the Charge Made Against Travelling
Agents of Western Union Telegraph
Co., Who Were Arrested To-day
ON Trains

Washington, ID. c., June 20.--Posta
| inspectors to-day arrested a number Of
| travelling agents of the Western Union
Telegraph company on trains between
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti.
more and Washington and seized suit.
cases they were carrying filed with
messages filed for transmission by tele.
graph.
This practice, which is said to have
been in operation by the telegraph COM
psny for some time, is considered vio-
L.tion of postal laws forbidding per-
sons not connected with the postal serv-
ice from conducting traffic in communi-
cations over regular post roads.
The facts discovered will be presented
to grand juries and officials of the tele-
graph company, who will be summoned
to explain. The penalty for violation of
the postal laws is fine of $500 or six
months imprisonment.
Postal authorities for several weeks
have investigated reports that the tele.
graph company was sending night let
ters and other messages by train rather
than by wire and delivering them the
following morning with all the marks of
telegraphic transmission. The practice
was reported to have extended to even
some day messages, intended for i'm
mediate transmission.
Owing to the extreme rush Of tele-
graph message business in recent
months, the company found it impossible
to transmit all messages offered by wire,
il is said, and resorted TO this method,
using fast trains between eastern cit
les. So far as is disclosed by the postal
the system was not used ex-
tensively in other parts Of the country,
investigation will be made TO
determine its extent.
The number of agents taken TODAY
was not announced by the postoffice de- |
Dartment. 1t intimated, however that
he men had been followed In their trims !
rom city to city for some time and their |
schedules Of delivery had been carefully |
worked out.
The routes and schedules had been sys.
ematized, it Is said, so that the mes. /
ages were delivered about as quickly |
IS If they had been sent by wire.
The raids on the train agents were
damned for this morning. and all were
made simultaneously Definite charges
ave not been made against some Of the
nen, It was explained. pending determi-
alton Of the extent Of their knowledge
{ what they were about. Whether anv
Ugh officials Of the Western Union com
any were familiar with the practice and
anetioned II, was not disclosed.

lice Finley has just returned from Camp
Devens, where he took Ernest H. Cox of
this town, who suddenly disappeared
when the summons came from the local
board a month ago to entrain in the
draft. The boy had been hiding in the
woods of Victory and had planned to
support himself for an indefinite period
by hunting and shooting. He came out
of hiding to attend his mothers funeral
and was then urged by his brothers and
sisters to report to st. Johnsbury for
military duty. He did this and gave
himself up to the st. Johnsbury police.
He was crack shot and did not realize

VEHEMENT PROTESTS
PRECEDED RIOTS
Bread Allotment to Each
Person in the Austrian
Capital Is Now Less Than
~ Pounds Weekly

London. June 20.--Serious riotini
broke out in Vienna yesterday, says 81
Exchange dispatch from Amsterdam
The mob broke into number of bak
cries, stoned the residence of the pre-
mier, and also one of the wings OF the
Hofburg palace, the message adds.
Cavalry is being rushed to the capital
to restore order. 1t is said that martial
law would be proclaimed. The rioting
was in protest against the reduction OF
the bread ration.
There have been reports from various
sources recently of troubles in Austria,
notably in the capital, because of the
bread ration reduction forced by the
failure of the Ukrainian grain supplies.
The bread allotment to each individu-
al in the city of Vienna is now less than
lK pounds weekly, it was stated in
dispatch from Copenhagen on Tuesday.
Protests against this rationing have
been vehement from various quarters.
The Vienna city council on Tuesday
adopted resolution of protest and the
labor council also made vigorous pro-
testify the passage of a resolution re-
newing its demand for a speedy general
peace
Strikes in Vienna and elsewhere have
been the outgrowth of the situation, ac-
cording to reports from Switzerland, and
fears have been expressed in Austrian
quarters that what would virtually
amount to great strike was imminent.
In recent labor demonstration in Wen
ma the police had to be called upon TO
disperse the rioters, it was said. Austria,
it appears, is entering the new harvest
year without any reserve stocks what
ever and is dependent upon Germany
for such scanty supplies as she is re-
ceiving. Germany, herself however, is
reported so short of stocks that she is
able to extend little help. Seemingly |
there are still supplies in Hungary, from
which Austria might derive some small |
assistance, but appeals to the Hungarian |
authorities do not appear to have
brought results.

will yield, but will first urge that the

Holland, it is understood, will sug-
gest that Herr Hohen zollern and his

be guarded by Dutch fleet
1t is also anticipated shat Holland
will be asked for compensation for per-
mitting violation of herSneutrality by
allowing German troops to pass
through the province of Limburg on
their retreat from Belgium and receiv-
ing German ships from Antwerp.
This compensation. says the corre-
spondent, may possibly be the cession
of certain territory along the Belgian
frontier owned by Holland since 1899,
perhaps the southern part of Dutch
Limburg, the population Of which reg
ion is claimed to be principally Bel

For that reason, he said, he had sue
