"DILUTED LIE
STILL A LIE"

Paris, April S.-The office of
Premier Clemenceau has issued
the following statement:
"A diluted lie is still a lie.
Count Czernin told lie when he
said that some time before the
German offensive Logan Premier
Clemenceau caused him to be ask

script note of Count Revertata
where he says he acted for Aus
tria to obtain from France peace
proposals, the solicitant's tet Xls
authentic and Count Czernin has
not dared to dispute it.
ITO hide his confusion he tries
to maintain that the conversation
was resumed at the request OF
M. Clemenceau. Unfortunately
for him the fact which reduces
his allegation to nothing, namely,
that Clemenceau was apprised OF
the matter on November Is. 1917.
that is to say the day after he
took over the ministry of war; by
communications from the inter
mediary dated November 10, and
intended for his predecessors.

take the initiative in question be-
fore he was premier. Thus Count
Czernin is categorically CONTRA

SENATE INCLUDES
"DRY" CL AUSE IN
FARM FUND BILL
Committee Agrees on PrOhibk
ton During War;

WASHINGTON, June l4-With
only five members present the senate
agricultural committee today tentatively
inserted in the agricultural appropria-
tion bill the amendment of Senator
Jones OF Washington, to provide for
national prohibition during the war.
The committee struck out the RAN
dali amendment, which would prevent
the expenditure of about $6,0O0.00C
under the provisions of the bill unless
the president prevents the use OF grain
and foodstuffs in the manufacture OF
beer and wine.
Opponents of prohibition announced
that efforts would be made to have the
committee reconsider its action in view
of the fact that only five senator's were
present
The committee also eliminated from
the bill Mouse amendment providing
that no money appropriated in the meas
ure shall be used in the payment Of
salaries of persons of draft age who
have been given deferred classification
while employed in the department OF
agriculture.

Matt to Kill More of Foe

-Four divisions were found to be ranged
in a space of two miles, hence the
frightful intensity Of the combat and
the abnormal slaughter.
French tanks did very good service
and a fleet OF aeroplanes, British as
well as French, swept down upon the
battle field before and behind our in
fantry dropping bombs and raining
down cartridges wherever a group OF
the enemy was seen
Purpose Of Battle Achieved.
The numerical infetiority on our
part was thus made good and the reai
battle which is not TO regain ground
but 10 destroy itS invaders has won.
As I have said il was inevitable that
the loss Of the Thieycourt Hills should
have results on the other side OF the

openly avowed Wednesday when the
east flank OF the salient from Moulin

fore possessed.
That is why residences, business
houses and public buildings all over the

thousands OF American flags. and why
every American, from the president to
the humblest citizen wears in his but
tonhole miniature OF the nations
banner.

ner.

In War Is Reached,
Asquith Declares

LONDON, June l4-Speaking at a
luncheon of the Aldwich club today,
Former Premier Asquith said there was
no use In eloaking the fact, or mini
mixing It's gravity, that the allies had
reached a most critical point in the for
tune, OF war But nothing that had
happened on the western front since the
last week OF March, he added, would
in the slightest degree weaken British
allegiance TO the great purpose for
which the British people were fighting
or their determination to press on to
the final accomplishment Of their aims.
