AUSTRIANS IN ATTACK
LOSE FIVE TO ONE OF FOE

LONDON, June II, via Ottawa
Austro- Hungarian pressure continues
very strong along the entire Italian
front, says a semi-official dispatch
from Rome. The enemy Is concen-
trating his most powerful attacks

the Piave. North of the ~Cesuna an

ers.
A high British army officer, interviewed
last light by Reuters correspondent with
the British army in Italy, expressed him
self satisfied with the result of
the Austrian-Hungarian attack against
the British force He said: 1.-The enemy
has practically lost five men to our one. one
airmen on the Piave smashed the seven
bridges and fired $4,000 rounds at a low
altitude"
All accounts agree that the SCI lest
success attended the attempt Of the AUS
trians to carry out the offensive on the
|infltration. The offensive was really a
series of attacks at widely distant points
and delivered at different hours. appar-
emily with the idea Of effecting sur
prise.
London newspapers consider the Of
fensive one of the most desperate
chances yet taken by the enemy. Its
failure, it is believd, will be fatal to
Austria and heavy blow to German
prestige. Hence. the battle is consid-
cred by political observers as being
even more critical for Austria than
for Italy. as it is contended defeat will
probably goad the various nationali-
ties of the dual monarchy to despera-
ton.
Stories continue to reach Holland
from Austria telling of the serious
ness of the political crisis. owing to
the refusal of the Polish party to sup
port the government They also men
tion rioting at many places in the
dual monarchy as the result of an in
crease of anti-German feeling and a
shortage Of food.

STRAWBERRY PRICES
HIGHEST: ON RECORD
But Potatoes and a Few Other
Staple Vegetables Fell Below
1917 Figures.

Strawberry prices during the pres
ent season have been from 100 to 300
per cent above any previous record,
officials of the United States bureau
of markets today stated. Wholesale
prices for New Jersey berries in ali
the principal eastern cities ranged
from IS. to 25 cents per quart last
week. Gamers were paying pro-
ducers from to 9 cents a quart for
berries unsuitable for general mar
kets.
Only two-thirds of the usual area
of berries was cultivated in New
Jersey, Maryland and Virginia dis
tricts, and scarcity of labor did not
allow all of the crop to get to mar
kets. Carload lots of strawberries
received in eastern cities showed a
falling of of about 40 per cent over
the 1917 totals.
Market quotations on other perish
able green stuffs do not indicate ad-
vances proportionate to the straw
berry increases. Potatoes and one or
two other staple vegetables are lower
tNan during 1917 in eastern market
cenrers.

AUSTRIAN SITUATION
AWAITS POLISH ACTION

AMSTERDAM, June 1.-THE ex-
pected turn in the Austrian political
situation by ministerial action over
the week end did not materialize
pending a plenary meeting of the
Polish party announced for June 21
to reconsider the Cracow resolutions,
which were virtual appeal for the
independence of Poland and its sep
aration from Austria and the Haps-
burg dynasty.
It is believed. according to news
advices here, that an open German
Polish breach will not ensue, even
should the Cracow resolution be up
held and the situation remain un-
decided until such time as the parties
can come to terms. Some German ele-
ments hope that the meeting on June
21 will build a bridge for an agree
ment. II this occurs a summer con-
vocation of the Austrian parliament Is
deemed within the range Of probability.

STAGE STARS ON FIRING LINE.
Old Associations Kept Up by
Lambs, Club Letter Scheme.

Cablegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1913.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE FRENCH FRONT. June IL
Actors who stepped from the stage of
play life to the stage of war are
keeping up old associations through
letters from the famous Lambs Club
of New York when they take their
places on Europe's fighting front.
They have a chain letter system of
their own between those units at
home and those here, and the letters
are passed until they are read by
each one.
Some of the Americans are well
known stars who are doing. their part
and hold commissions as officers. The
amateur performers who entertain
the soldiers do not suspect that their
audiences contain critics who have
vanished from the spotlight FOR the
serious, il less spectacular, business
of war.
Among these may be mentioned Maj
Ramond Barlow, Capt. Robert War
wick, William Harrigan, Robert Gill,
Robert Aitken. Paul McAllister,,
Wright Kramer, Lieut.. Richard Tuck
er, Irving Hay. Basil Broadhurst, Ev-
erett Butterield and Earl Metcalf
Should lull come in the war, these
men plan to make tour and give a
series Of performances which will
dwarf the entertainments thus far
given.

WINE MEN CALL JONES
DRY MEASURE Menace
Representative Kahn Says It Would
Bankrupt Coast Growers; Also
Opposes Randall Amendment.

Representative julius Kahn Of Cali
fornia told the Senate agriculture
committee today that enactment of
the Jones prohibition amendment at
this time will bankrupt California
wine growers and result in losses to-
falling millions of dollars. He opposed
both the Jones and the Randall
amendments.
Anticipating final ratification of the
Sheppard constitutional amendment,
Mr.. Kahn said many growers are at
present liquidating their property.
and to make the country suddenly dry
would work a severe hardship on
them. Besides. it would ruin an in
dustry, he said, that has $200.000.00O
invested in that state alone.
II have been told that the banks in
California" he said: have been asked
to lend growers $10,00O.000 in antici-
patton of this years crop. To pass
this legislation simply would make
every dollar of this investment total
loss, besides making this vintage
total loss"
California is not made for food. and
that the grapes would only spoil and
the whole vintage be a total loss.
Prohibition legislation was also op-
posed by John J. .kearney of Boston.
business agent for hotel and restau-
rant employees and bartenders'
unions. This matter is not being urged
now for the purpose of conserving
foodstuffs. he declared. but purely
for the sake of prohibition. and the
enacment of such legislation at this
time. he declared. would be "un-
American, unpatriotic and unfair"
Besides throwing thousands of per-
sons out of employment by the stop
ping of the manufacture of beer and
wines. Mr.. Kearney said, it would
prove to be an injustice to thousands
of workmen now employed in NUM-
ton factories and other war work.
He pointed out that at the time when
prohibition is being urged, ships from
England are unloading in Boston ale
containing eight per cent alcohol and
made from grain which we have ship
ped to Great Britain.

4O7 SHIPS ARE SALVAGED;
SUNK BY THE GERMANS
London Reports Increas, Due to
Improved Methods and Not to
Greater U-Boat Activity.

LONDON, June 17.-From January.
1915. to the end of May, 1918. 407
ships sunk by the Germans in British
waters have been salvaged, accord
ing to details of the admiralty SAL
wage department made public in the
press today.
Up to December. 1917, 2so ships
were recovered. In the present year
to the end of May. 147 have been
salvaged, the increase being due to
improved methods and not to the
greater activity of U-boats.
Among the difficulties encountered
has been the emission of poisonous
gases from the rotting cargoes of
sunken ships which sometimes have
caused the loss of lives. One salvage
ship was torpedoed while working
on wreck, while sometimes the
work of weeks is destroyed by the
rough sea. Feats performed by the
salvage department include the rais-
ing of a large collier sunk in twelve
fathoms of water. and involving a
dead lift of $500 tons.
Another vessel was raised fifteen
fathoms by the use of compressed
air.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. June 17.-Record- break
ing high temperatures which pre-
vailed yesterday led to buying Of corn
today on a broad scale and forced q
sharp advance in values. Especial
notice was taken of the fact that the
heat reached 104 at Omaha and 102 at
Des Moines. Offerings were relatively
scarce. Opening prices. which varied
from unchanged figures to Y higher.
with July at 1.45A to 1.46s and Au-
gust at 1.4sA to 1.4sk, were fol-
lowed by a decided general upturn.
Oats responded to the strength in
corn and to hot weather reports.
Commission houses were active buy
ers. After opening u to 1%a1%
higher. with July II to 71k, the mar
ket held near the top side of the
range.
Provisions rose with corn and hogs.
Sellers were hard to find.
Forecasts of lower temperatures
and of showers over a part of the
corn belt induced something of a re-
action in the later corn dealings.
Prices closed nervous. to l higher.
with July 1.45A to 1.45H and August

UNIFIED RAIL SERVICE
ENDS PER DIEM CHARGE

By pooling all car equipment. rail-
road lines under government control
have today been concentrated into one
great system, making all equipment
common property. The railroad ad-
ministration in an order has abol-
ished the per diem plan of charge
for the use of cars between Individual
lines.
Under the new order any car can be
utilized anywhere without piling up
rentals against the various lines. Un-
der the old system the return of
empty cars to their respective roads
resulted in loss of. motive power,
when at a slight increase of cost they
could have been transported with
freight consignments.
