sIxTY-TWO ARE DEAD
Awful Loss of Life Occurs In
Circus Train Wreck.
Most of the Bodies Are Mangled and
Charred So that Identified
ton Is Impossible.

Gary. Ind, June 24-While circus
officers made frantic efforts to COM
pile an accurate list of the victims,
sixty-two bodies of Hagenbeck-Wal
lace circus employees, who persisted
in the wreck six miles west of here,
rested in temporary morgues here aid
at Hammond.
Only "a of the bodies had been iden-
titled Most of the other corpses
are charred and mangled beyond rec
ognition. Edward M. Ballard, general
manager of the circus, issued state
ment saying figures compiled indicat-
ed that the death list would total IS.
He said that hasty check of the scat
tered employees showed list Of 60
missing In addition to the 25 identi-
fed dead.
It is said that most of the 60 miss
ing were "razorbacks" a number of
whom were negroes.
Train Master Believed Dead.
F. S. Whipple, trainsmaster, also
has been given up as dead. Parts OF
two bodies cremated in the furnace
of tangled steel and timbers that re-
suited when Michigan Central equip
ment train crumbled the fimsy circus
coaches were dug out. The authori'
ties said that if the death list was as
great as estimated by circus men, the
additional bodies probably were re-
duced to ashes.
The list of injured in hospitals was
reduced to SO here and 20 in Ham
mond. Only three or four of these
are expected to die.

Germany Is Preparing to Add
Austria-Hungary to the
kaiSer'S Empire.
PLAYS SHREWO GAME
Berlin Seeks Vengeance for Austria's
Peace intrigue With the Entente
Powers and Is Taking Advant-
age of Present Internal
Disturbances.

Rome, June 24.-The vision in
which the military Machiavellis In
Berlin revel as one of the most
glorious victories of the whole war;
is Austria, starving and defeated, or
that, with not a friend outside to
turn to, absolute submission to Prus-
sian dominion will be the last straw.
For then, and not until then, will
be fulfilled the two aims that the
Prussian overlords have been of late
planning and plotting with super zeal
and that are haunting Emperor
Charles like nightmares in the midst
of his hopeless battle with the raging
sea Of revolt at home. These two
aims are:
1. Fulfillment of the ka;ser's oath
to wreak vengeance for his ally's
peace intrigue with the Allies.
2. Compete absorption of Austria
Hungary as part and parcel of the
German empire with elimination "even

Germany's New Policy.
But there is larger issued involved
in Germany's plan towards Austria
Hungary than the lust for vengeance
1t is new policy, so far played
shrewdly in the dark, u1derhandedly,
but evidently destined to reveal it.
self in the full light of day.
These ideas, this new policy, no
longer eliminate, however. in the aim
Of breaking loose" from Austria, but
in the plight of the new circumstances
find their ultimate goal In absorbing
that country altogether and wiping
her out as an independent power.
All doubts that Ludendorff is actual
ly Germany's dictator, not only in
military respects, but in the economic
field as well, were removed by The
news that it was he to whom the
Vienna mayor addressed The plea for
food. Ludendorff's answer too, is sig
nificant. 1t is another pointed to The
ultimate objects, outlined above.
Ludendorff Another Bismarck.
In the midst of the Franco-Prussian
war, Bismarck worked and fought
tooth and nail for what he thought
more vital even than victory in the
field-the amalgamation of the Ger
man states into a federation dominat-
ed by PRUSSIA, the keystone to the
dream of world power. Ludendorff
who shows all the earmarks Of trying
to play a Bismarckian roe in the af-
fairs Of the visioned Mitteleuropa,
thus appears in the light of Austria's
executioner when the proper time
comes,'' to add the Hapsburg realm to
Prussia's domain.

DRAWS SUGAR REINS. TIGHTER
HOOVER ISSUES NEW ORDER Eff.
FECTlvE JULY /.
Measures Are Expected to Prevent
any Serious Scarcity OF Sugar
for Home Use.

Washington, June 24.-Restrictions
on the use of sugar by manufacturers
will be drawn much tighter by new
regulations effective July /, announc-
ed by Food Administrator Hoover.
The new measures are expected to
prevent any serious scarcity of sugar
for home consumption and at the
same time to put the nation as
whole on three-pound per capita
monthly ration.
Less essential manufactures will be
allowed so per cent of the normal re-
quirements in comparison with the 80
per cent now in effect. Several COM
modities heretofore classed as essen
tial foodstuffs in which sugar u used,
are by the new regulations placed on
the nonessential class.
y Ice Cream Makers Hit
Sugar allowed ice cream manufac-
turers after July 1 will be decreased
to rs per cent of the normal consump-
ton. Soda fountains will be cut to 80
per cent of normal and manufacturers
of preserved fruits for soda fountains
will be placed on the so per cent
basis. Ice cream made by soda foun-
tains and colfectioners on the pre-
misses will have its sugar content cut
to so per cent of normal.
Lack of shipping facilities, subma-
rine activities and decrease in i'm
portations from Cuba are held respon-
sfble for the new restrictions.

BILLION FOR BIG GUNS
Government Preparing to Turn
Out Heavy Artillery.
War Department Is Expecting Change
From Trench to Open Style
of Warfare.

Washington, June 24.-Though ap-
prevail by the house appropriations
committee of the largest Notifications
program ever submitted by any gov
eminent, it was disclosed that the new
$40,000,000 government plant for pro-
duction of heavy artillery at Neville
Island, in the Ohio river near Pitts
burg, is to equal the famous Krupp
plant in Germany.
The bill carries a total of s., 435.-
096,224, the principal expenditure be-
ing more than a billion dollars for
heavy artillery. OF the entire sum,
$2,000,000,00O is asked as cash ap-
preparation and the remainder for con-
tract authorizations.
Heavy Guns Chief Need.
Plans of the War department for
carrying the warfare on the Western
front beyond the trench stage by a
vast production of heavy mountain
siege and field guns are revealed in
detail.
All of the new heavy guns provided
for in the bill will be mounted on
railway cars or motorized for rapid
transportation, showing the War de-
partment, as was recently minated,
is expecting a change from the trench
to the open style of warfare. :.
Based on an American army of g.
100000 men, the plans which the mea-
sure supports have been approved by
the Inter-Allied War council, through
General Pershing, it was stated by

London, June 24.-Austria's often
sive against Italy, in it's first phase,
has ended in failure, in defeat. The
elimination of what was intended to
be the crushing of the Italian armies
between the jaws of the Austrian
pincers is the rout of the invaders
themselves.
With their backs to the swollen
Pave river, the Austrians for several
days had been trying to ward off the
vicious counter attacks of the Italians
and save the situation. Now they are
endeavoring, and still under great
pressure, to ford the stream and reach
safety on it's eastern bank.
Losses to Exceed 10000.
From the Montello plateau to the
Adriatic sea, the enemy is in retreat.
Already his losses are estimated
10000 men, and the chances of his
escape without additional heavy cas-
ualties and men made prisoners seem
remote.
Large numbers of the pontoon
bridges that the Austrians threw
across the PiaVe have been swept
away by the now torrential stream,
and on all the sectors of the 33-mile
front where they gained edges Of the
Venetian plain they are being sorely
harassed by the fire Of the Italian
guns and rifles and by the machine,
gun fire and bombs of Allied aviators'
who have done such notable execution
since the attempted drive was started.
Monster Preparations Lost.
Monster preparations had been
made by the Austrians for what was
to be the death blow to King Victor
Emmanuels men.
Thousands upon thousands of men,
many of them brought from the Rus
sian and Roumanian fronts, and guns
and stores in tremendous quantities
had been parcelled among the various
commanders for the drive over bat
tie arc of virtually 100 miles, running
from the Asiago plateau to the Piave
river and then following the stream
to the sea.
Undoubtedly the Austrian high COM
mand had built largely for success on
the belief that the Italian morale had
been shattered when last year their
great pincers closed in upon the Ital-
Ian front and forced back the line in
great semi-circle from the Julian
Alps to the Piave and from the noun
tains in the north almost to the plain
Of Venetia.
Fl italian Morale Firm.
Such a belief, however, was entire
" erroneous. From the first onslaught,
the enemy met rejuvenated army
which fought him with the greatest
gallantry, never ceding an inch of
ground unless it was dearly paid for.
Aiding the Italians in the mountains
were British and French armies, who
also fought nobly and everywhere de-
reated the enemy. Territory taken in
the mountains was almost as quickly
regained and the enemy held il check.
