This mistake has been their refusal

Russia's intellectuals, her professional

away ahead OF any similar class in any
other country. They have done more,
IN the matter Of social reform, in the
building of schools and hospitals, in
the standards Of ethics they main

Italian Airmer
lBu The Associated Prossl

ROME, June 29.-American aviators
are quite at home on the Italian front
and have quickly acquired the practical
science of aerial fighting. They are
extremely popular with their Italian
comrades, who are attracted by their
painstaking efforts and bombing work.
On one expedition, after the ma
chimes had discharged their cargo of
bombs, while returning to their base
one of the Italian pilots discovered
that new bridge had been thrown
across the river. He turned the con-
trolls over to his American companion,
Raymond Baldwin, Of Brookline, and
told him to take the machine down as
low as possible, as nc was anxious to
obtain a clear photograph.
Goes Far Below Barrage
Baldwin Immediately nosed the
plane over and got far below the bar
rage of anti aircraft guns. He carried
out his part so we'll that an excellent
photograph was taken. Within a few
hours the place was identified, located
and the bridge shelled by the Italian
artillery.
Captain La Guardia, member of the
national House from New York. speak
ing OF this incident to-day, said:
owe were talking at mess about the
importance of this photograph One
of the senior officers asked Baldwin
if he was not scared in going down sc
low and heading into the enemy's fire

Mont des Cats in October, after the
outbreak of the war

Mont des Cats in October, after the
outbreak of the war
During an engagement with British
cavalry Prince Max was mortally
wounded and taken to the monastery.
While he was being nursed by the
monks his comrades were driven from
the hill and the British occupied it.
The prince died and was buried in a
certain place, the location of which was
not disclosed to the world.
The German Emperor wrote letter
to the Pope in which he asked for in
formation as to where the prince was
buried, and requested the return OF
the body. The Pontitf forwarded the
letter to the monastery, and it was
then that the Emperor got the famous
reply: Not until he had evacuated
Belgium and made just restitution
would he learn the whereabouts Of the
princes grave.
The Emperor now appears to be
worried that his guns may kill the
only man able to give him the desired
information, but his request to spare
the place, if he made such q request,
seems to have met with small response
thus far. for big shells continue to
break on the monastery.

Military Comment
By William L. Mcpherson

velop the forest from the south and
west, thus compelling it's evacuation.
The Germans are still four or five
miles east of La Ferte Milon. But
it is desirable to hold them at a
more comfortable distance. The nib
bling operation on this sector is a
part Of that sound defensive policy
which Foch has been following for
some time at the southern end of the
west leg of the SCISSORS Rheims
salient. 1t is closely connected with
the recent successful local counter
offensives in the Torcy- -Belleau-
Bouresches section, in which Ameri-
can troops have greatly distin-
guished themselves. Operations of
this sort cause German losses in ter
ritory and prisoners. They also have
a bracing effect on the morale of
troops expecting to be put soon
again on the defensive.
The Italians also carried out a
successful local attack yesterday on
the Asiago Plateau-the critical sec
tor of the mountain line in Northern
Italy. With the assistance of French
and British forces, they took Monte
di Val, bagging 800 more Austrians.
Enemy counter attacks were COM
pletely repulsed. The Italians have
even more need than the Allies in
France have to improve their defen-
slve positions. They have been
standing on the last heights guard
ing the Italian plain, with a steep
descent behind them. General Con-
rad Won Hoetzendorff' armies are
fighting downhill. General Diaz
would feel more secure if he could
push further into the Alps and get
more elbow room, for either defen-
sive or offensive purposes.
The morale of Diaz's troops is at
present very high. If he doesn't
take the offensive on large scale
which is improbable-h can at least
benefit from partial Austrian de-
moralization to advance his noun
tain lines through brilliant local ac-
tions similar to yesterdays.
1t is reported from Berlin that
Germany will demand permission of
the Lenine government to send
troops to Western Siberia, in order
to crush the Czecho-Slovaks. The
Czecho-Slovals now hold a long
stretch of the Siberian Railroad,
and can probably defeat any force
sent against them by Lenine. Ger
many knows this. She is going
straight to the point in meeting a
serious military menace. When will
the Allies take notice of the advan-
tageous situation which has arisen
in Siberia through the remarkable
achievement of the Czecho-Slovak
army? Will German military inter-
vention be matched in time by Allied
military intervention?

UDENDORFF is still putting
4 the finishing touches on his

new offensive in France.
While he is completing his arrange
ments the Allies are filling in the
time improving their defensive posi-
tions through local attacks. Last
Friday the British cleared the front
east of the Forest of Nieppe, in the
Lys Valley salient, by driving the
enemy back nearly a mile on a line
three and half miles long. This
operation greatly strengthened their
hold on the forest, which is the main
bulwark defending the important
railroad junction of Hazebrouck
from the southeast. On the same
day the French gained mile and
a quarter on a four -and-a-half-m
front southwest Of Scissors. The
latter operation was undertaken in
order to shake off the German grin
on the northeastern corner of the
Forest of Villers- Cotterets. This
forest is an integral part of the
Frence defence in the big re9ntrant
angle IN the wooded country east of
the Disc, extending north of the
Alsne and including the Forest of
Laigue.
On Friday the Germans counter
attacked on the sector southwest of
Solssons, endeavoring to regain the
crests on the west bank of the small
stream which runs north from the
rim of the forest, at St. Pierre
Algle, past C@uvres, Layersine and
Ambleny to the Aisne, near Fonte-
noy. These counter attacks were re-
pulsed. Yesterday the French made
another limited attack near ST.
Pierre Aigle, and slightly advanced
their lines. They are now in mucI,
better position to meet a renewed
German effort to envelop Villers-
oo1Ierets Forest from the north.
Further south-in the Chateau
Thlerry region-the French repeat
ed their success of Friday. though
on a somewhat narrower scale. On
two-mile front they advanced
about half mile on a line from
Molloy to Passy-en-Valois. About
S00 prisoners were taken. The FIGHT

It's sinister detonations, and the

But the German offensive still re-

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has

on any part Of the front. One thing
seems certain: "When the enemy

Royal Welcome to
American Soldiers

ROME, June 29.-An official recep-
tion was given to-day by an Italian
municipality in honor of American Off
GERS and men of the military contin-
Italy. Large crowds waited outside the
barracks where the Americans are sta
toned, surrounded them on their exit
and bore them in triumph through the
town. Traffic was interrupted by the
throngs in the streets watching the
passage of the Americans.
The commander of the contingent
thanked the municipality for its hospi-

time. Then he asked his men to express
their gratitude by giving the customary
three cheers, for the people Of this
town and for Italians in general. The
cheers were given Justify.

Back Half a Mile ",
Champagne Salient

LONDON, June 30.-The French on
the west wing of the Champagne
salient last night attacked the German
positions near Troesnes. where the foe
had pressed closest to Paris, and in a
local operation dreve the enemy back
nearly half mile on a front of Is
miles. They gained the heights east Of
Molloy and took 2G5 prisoners.
West of scissors. further north in
the same sector, the French followed
up their gains of Thursday near Cutry
by improving their line again west of
ST. Pierre Aigle. They took 100 pris
oners IN the operation. Five tons OF
bombs were dropped by French avia-
tors on an incipent German infantry
attack near Cutry.
A German attack on the new Austria
lian positions near Merris. on the
Flanders battlefront, was broken up by
the defending forces. French raids in
man sortie into the Allied line near
Hartmanns weller -Kopf, in the Vosges
Mountains, at the. French extreme right,
resulted in few prisoners, the Berlin
War Office stated.
Enemy Artillery Active
The German artillery has been par
ticularly active before Nieppe Forest,
IN Flanders, where the British drove
the, enemy back more than mile on
1 htrsday. At other points along the
frc,it before Amiens the enemy's guns
haze increased their fire.
rench airmer have brought down
III cen German planes and two captive
balloons in the last two days, and have
damaged nineteen other machines, the
French War Office announced to-day.
British fliers brought down nine enemy
planes and disabled eight others. Five
British machines are reported missing.
Large quantities of explosives have
been dropped on German positions III
different sectors along the whole bat
tiefront. Bombing raids on German
cities west of the Rhine on Saturday
night resulted in the destruction of
military objectives at Thionvlle, Metz,
Landau and smaller towns, say the Off
cial statements on air operations issued
tonight.
The report of the Air Ministry on
bombing raids says:
"On Saturday night bombing squad
Thionvile, the sidings at Metz. and en-
omy airdrome at Fascati and Boulay,
as well as other military objectives.
The presence of a mist prevented OBJ
servation of the results.
"On Sunday our airplanes dropped
many bombs on the Hagenau alrdrOme
with good results. The barracks and
station at Landau also were bombed.
An enemy aerial formation over Lam
dau heavily attacked our machines.
Three of the enemys airplanes were
destroyed ana two of ours gre missing"
The official statement on aerial op-
erations issued by the War Office
reads:
."Hostle activity was not great on
Saturday, but our fighting machines
succeeded in destroying nine German
airplanes and disabling eight others
Five of ours are missing.
"Fifteen tons of bombs were dropped
on Saturday, the most important tar
gets being the railway stations at
Lille, Courtrai Confines and Estairs
'At night there was bombing activ-
ity on both sides. The enemy did
virtually no damage, but lost one ma
chine. We dropped eighteen tons of
projectiles, of which eight tons were
