Paris. June "a.
The misguided people who, for one
reason or another, fed from Paris under
tho pressure of recent events. quickly
found reason to regret the bad example
they set to the vast majority of inhabit-
ants.
Prices had been fixed by the food con.
troller for milk, meat, bread and other
supplies, and they found it impossible to
procure the necessaries of life except at
a much higher cost than in the capital,
while terms for hotel accommodation In
many districts now beat all records.
Where formerly a room cost 81 night
four times that amount is now charged.
Similar conditions obtain in nearly all
provincial towns, owing to the enormous
innuN of the working and professional
classes engaged in munition and kindred
industries connected with the war The
increase of the population in some of
these towns is phenonenaL The popula-
tion of Bordeaux has risen since the war
began from zoo. 900 to more than 325, 900,
and the suburbs from $4,000 to 100, 900.
Marseilles, which had a population of
100000 in 1914, now numbers more than
1,UOO,OuO. ....-.r 3.
Most of the increases are due to the
influx of Colonial. British and American
nonmilitary elements imported for war
work, plus large numbers driven out
from the invaded districts in the north.
All these naturally are regarded as ex-
cusablc immigrants. but the same view
is not always taken in regard to the
well-to-do fugitives, whose nervousness
has caused them to take refuge well to
the south and west of Paris. Many of
these had to come back to Paris through
sheer inability to find suitable accommo-
dation.
A story is told of one Mayor In a tiny
town not far from Paris who was struck
by brilliant idea for getting rid of
some of what he regarded as undesirable
guests, In the middle of the night he
caused the church bells to ring. and
many new arrivals took refuge in the
cellars. thinking an air raid was In
progress. The next morning the trains
for Paris were filed with returning fu-
eitvcs.

we expect you to put Italy hors du
combat" said Emperor William to
Charles in their famous meeting after
the publication Of the letter to- Prince
Sixtus. when the Kaiser had called the
Hapsbure monarch to Canossa. This
utterance was more threat than an
expression, of trust in.hi ally.
The Austrians were still smarting

vious offensive Of October. Therefore,

to her knees, whatever the cost The
Austrian general. taking the command of
his Emperor literally, sent his men to
be butchered without the slightest hesi-
tation, so long as tho objectives fixed in
advance were attained.
Plan Is Altered
Their plan was to cross the whole
Piave line in four days and TO settle In
Treviso and Mestre. which would have
meant to get Venice in their clutches
and to threaten Padua.
The Austrian command, after several
unsuccessful attempts in the mountain
region, Immediately understood that the
Allied troops were too strongly fortified
to enable them to break through in the
plains there. They, therefore. changed
their tactics, attacking, with overwheln-
ing numbers, from tile Montcllo region
along the Piave to the Adriatic; deter

Italians from the mountains. to oblge
them to leave their position all the
same by attacking them In the rear

suffer Heavy Los.e.
The battle on the Riave line assumed
gigantic proportions. especially On tho
Montello sector and at San Dona di
Piavc, on the lower course of the river.
On the Montello sector. where, the Aus
trians succeeded In gaining a foothold.
the losses among the enemy have been
frightful The Italians keep them under
the continual fire OF their cannon and
machine guns making It extremely diff
cult for them to send across the Piave
re-enforcements Of food and munitions.
On other points Of the river the enemy
vainly attempted to cross I'm boats, which
were Immediately made target by the
italian fire. In parts where the river

ever reached the opposite shore. All were
shot down.
The Austrians were convinced they
would take Venice In forty-eight hours.
In fact. they distributed to the regiments

lions for their coats representing the
lion OF st. Marks on his column being
mangled by the Austrian eagle. -

Even the war industries have moi

This information is. to some extent
confirmed by a statement in the Vos

Amsterdam. June "a.
Germany and her allies are on some
what cold terms with each other during
these days. Not only has the fatherand
| had to rush food supplies to Austria
out of her own slender stock. and to her
bluntly expressed annoyance. but Hun
gary, regarding another matter is not
showing sufficient Difference to Germany
to please the German press.
The latter trouble began with an in
terview. which the German Vice Cham
cellor. Won Payer. gave regarding the
extending and strengthening of the alli-
ance between Germany and the Central
Empires. lie drew picture of tho allied
countries as nc great trade region, with
common interests" and forcshadowed
the falling away 6 customs barriers
and an extensive and long date economic
agreement.
All this alarmed Hungary. 1t sounded
in Magyar ears like Germanization, a
yoke under which Hungary's ruling caste
has no desire TO throw itself or Hun
gary; so that country's press immedi-
ately began to point out her claims to
look after herself regarding her own
interests, especially in promoting against
all comers her own industries and in
holding and increa sing her trade mar
| kcts.

The matter was discussed in parlia-
ment Count Michael Karolyi, leader of
the independent party. came out strongly
against strengthening the alliance with
Germany He would, he said, continue

/ He said Hungary would not be "a

terms" as they involved conditions which

| German Vice Chancellor was warned
that ''he must revise his terms If he is
seriously regarding an alliance with
! Hungary.
Prime Minister Wekerle said there
could be no strengthened alliance which
prevented Hungary from making and
strengthening alliances with other coun-
! tries as we'll.
Berlin Also Disturbed
Berlin political and diplomatic circles
naturally are very perturbed by this
independent attitude of Hungary and
the press comment is couched both in
sorrow and anger
The TaglsChe Ruudschau, for instance
refers to the diseased fear Of Hun
gary for closer relations with Germany,
and the matter is certainly not smoothed
over by Won Payers rejoinder that he
spoke in a theoretic and academic sense
Nor is the contretemps a happy augury
for the negotiations regarding the future

1t will not cover so wide front as
that. for. although the enemy is very
powerful and has large numbers of divi-
sion either quite fresh or reitted after
fighting. he has not the same number of
men at his disposal as before the his
toric March 81. His adventures along
the Frech front and the British have
made him weaker by those great losses,
and his reserves arc not large enough TO
fill up all the gaps. The British have
had time TO fll up their gaps by young
and splendid drafts. and since that time
the Americans have come pouring out so
that the balance of strength has been
readjusted more in the Allies favor.
Never again, / imagine. will the Ger
man high command be able to assemble
such battle array as when he began
this years offensive. and from that
frightful menace one may breathe more
freely, Nevertheless. so far as the Brit
lsh front is concerned. they still have
facing them the great army of Rupprecht

and courage of their young men to hold
