ITALIANS CELEBRATE

Rome, June 2.-During a celebration
 of the Italian success on the Piave today, crowd rushed to Capitoline Hill and burst into the Caffarelli palace, which before the war was the seat of the Ger man embassy and which is still Ger man property. All portraits of the Ger man Emperor were torn down and the Italian flag was raised over the build ing.
 The fact that the palace is still owned by Germany has been the cause of great indignation among the people of Rome,
 who since the entry of Italy into the war have demanded that Capitolene Hill be freed from its "Teutonic stain.' The rage with which the people invaded the palace can, therefore, be readily un- derstood. They overturned the throne placed there by the German Emperor,
 himself tore some of the furniture tu pieces and after tearing down the DOT traits of the Emperor and raising the Italian flag, paraded the main streets Of the city with fragments of the Emperor : | picture as trophies

ner, for it seemingly is realized that
 time now is working against German arms in the west and that haste is neces- sary. This fact apparently is being deep ly impressed on the German high com
 inand, especially as it daily is witnessing
 the arrival of increasing numbers of
 Americans on the battle front and is com
 Ing to realize that they are foemen of the highest merit.
 For the moment the Germans seem re-
 signed to their loss to the Americans oe
 the Belleau wood, northwest of Chateau Thierry. No counter attacks have been
 made in an endeavor to regain the lost ground. The latest account of the Amer ican victory shows that the troops from
 overseas, in addition to killing or wound ! ing many of the enemy, took 311 pris- oners, Ii machine guns and 10 automatic 1 rifles, and a large quantity of ammuni- 1 tion and other war stores.
 i All is quiet along the Piave front IT | the Italian theatre, where the Italians
 are secure in the positions from whict
 they drove the Austrians from the west ern bank of the river. In the mountatI
 region there has been considerable fight | ing in which the Italians seem to haEf
 had the upper hand.

 Amsterdam, June 27.-Reports that former Emperor Nicholas has been murdered in ekaterinburg are in- creasingly persistent in Moscow ac- cording to a dispatch from that city (date not given) received today by way of Berlin.
 The Moscow newspapers, the dis patch states, indicate that the recent whereabouts of the Emperor have not been definitely learned. (This statement seems significant as it con- flicts with the German reports of the former rulers removal to Moscow.)

Although the infantry operations, ex- cept by the Americans in the Belleau wood, have scarcely risen in importance above patrol encounters recently, never theless the Germans are trying out with their artillery the stability of the Brit ish and French positions on various sec tors from Flanders to the region of the Marne. Southwest of Armentieres, on the River Lys sector, and between Gi- venchy and Robecq, the British lines have been heavily shelled with guns of all calibres and with considerable num- hers of gas projectiles. The French have been receiving similar visitations between the Disc and Aisne rivers, espe- cially in the region north of Villers Cotterets, where the recent German of fensive reached it's greatest depth in the attempted dash to Paris.

This expectancy is heightened by the utterance of David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, in the House of Commons Monday, when he said another enemy attack might be looked for, pos sibly within a few hours, and certainly within the next few days-a blow on which the issue of the campaign might depend-rather than by any outward signs of great preparations by the Ger mans to loose their armies for another attempt at the capture of Paris or the channel ports.

We have a great nation, and We

universal liberty, which means the
smashing of Kaiserism and Prussian-

people in revolt yesterday in Berlin,
