Establishes World Record
(By Associated Prsss.)

NEW YORK, June 25-Due to the
war and the weather, New York's
hotel population is the largest in its
history, according to statements by
leading hotel men today. One popular
hotel reported that 1906 arrivals reg
istered in a single day, which is claim
ed as world record The highest
previous record by this hotel was
1.076 in the early days Of the war.
Nearly every hotel in the city Is
crowded well beyond capacity
The throng of visitors is composed
largely of travellers from all parts of
the world, especially South America,
who would have been in Europe ex-
cept for the war, and thousands of re-
latives and friends of American SOL
diers and sailors from distant states.
The unreasonable weather, which has
been the coolest in so years, has held
many hundreds here who ordinarily
would be at summer resorts at this
time.

ley's annual picnic for his constituents

PARIS, June 52.-The Germans last
night attacked the new French posi-
tions in the region Of lie Port, north
Of the Aisne, but were able to make
gains, says the official statement from
the war office toady. In surprise at
tacks In the Woevre and in Lorraine
the French captured 20 prisoners.
The statement reads:

gan. This enabled the enemy to get
many of his troops across. otherwise
his losses would have been measure
ably greater.
Vienna blames the weather and the
high water in the river for the retire
ment and gives no credit to the stout
Italian resistance which held the en-.
envy on the western bank and was
gradually forcing him back to the riv-
err. 1t says the order to withdraw was
given last Thursday and leaves the
impression that the retreat was car
ried out unobserved by the Italians.
If the Austrian offensive was ex-
pected by the German command to re-
lieve the situation on the western
front, the Teuton strategists have
had a bitter disappointment. Austria
probably will be unable to take up a
new forward movement for days ut
least In fact, the Piave front ap-
pears to be stronger now than at the
beginning of the present battle. Op-
erations on the mountain front are
still at a. standstill and if Emperor

Await German Blow.
Along the front the North Sea to
Switzerland the allied armies are
awaiting another blow from the Ger
mans. Premier Lloyd George has
told the British house Of commons
that another gigantic enemy effort is
coming within a few days, possibly
within a few hours. The allies are
ready to combat it.
British and French troops on the
Flanders fields have carried out local
operations successfully on the plateau
north of LIE Port, west of scissors and
along the Aisne. The French have i'm.
proved their position and captured
10 prisoners.
In a local effort in Belleau wood,
northwest of Chateau Thierry, Amer
lean troops have completed the cap
ture of the wood by clearing the Ger
mans out of the northwestern portion.

were captured in raid near Baden

been regarded as easily defended and
a comparatively small force had been
left to hold it.
