1. W. W. WITNESS IN COURT TELLS HOW
 AR|z0N|ANS ACTED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, June 26.-No bed of roses has been the lot of the I. w. w., &C., cording to James P. Thompson, one of the 101 leaders of the organization on trial for seditious conspiracy, who tes tified today to beatings, cells and de- portations in various western locali- ties.
 Arizona Heads List
 It didn't seem to make much differ ence where they went, according to Thompson. for there nearly always was somebody to start the I. w. w. members on their way. Chief among these unpleasant affairs was the de- portation from Jeronfe Arizona, last July, Thompson said.
 He Arrives in Jerome
 When I arrived at Jerome, after speaking twice at Bisbee," said the witness, who was still on the stand at adjournment for the day, q was told there would be no meeting. I retired early, only to be routed out of bed early in the morning by shouts and hammering on my door. The door was partly forced open and the crowd rushed in on me. all being armed.

We had no hearing and, as fal as know, there never was any forma complaint made against us.'
 A pamphlet written by the witness and containing extracts of the report of the federal industrial relations com mission, published in 1915, and referred to by attorneys for the defense as tn 'I w. w. Bible," was admitted to evi dence over objections by the govern ment prosecutors. Federal Judge Ian dis warned the jury, however. that tn pamphlet could not be considered a proof of it's contents.

RAISE STREET GAR
 FARES F NEEDED ID INCREASE WAGE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 26-The na- tional war labor board, sitting tomor- row in wage controversies between street railway companies and en- ployes, plans to act finally upon a proposal agreed to today by repre- sentatives of both sides that Presi- dent Wilson be asked to advance local car fares if it is demonstrated that the companies cannot raise wages without increased revenue.
 The proposal was made by at torneys for the companies and joint Chairman Taft and Walsh agreed with them that the powers conferred on the president by the declaration of war, reinforced by housing legisla- tion and the Overman bill were suf- ficient to enable the president tt order increased fares.
 Nineteen Roads Involved
 Only 19 street railway companies are parties to the present contro- versy, but members of the board are agreed that the final policy to be adopted will affect every community in the country having street railway lines.
 Joint Chairmen Taft and Walsh to- day also began hearings on the sub ject of a living wage preparatory tC establishing a minimum wage rate commensurate with the increase il the cost of living.

Sinkings In May Much More
 Than Third Less Than They Were In Similar Month of Previous Year

LONDON. June 27.-"The month of May was really the most favorable we have yet had"
 This is the comment of Archibald s. Hurd, the naval writer in the Daily Telegraph. He adds:
 Tt is common knowledge that owing to the large numbers of submarines destroyed the enemy paid a higher price for every ton of shipping sunk than in any corresponding period since piracy was inaugurated.
 Much Less Tonnage Lost
 "The offensive by sea was still be- ing maintained by the Germans dur ing May with the utmost vigor but in spite of the unprecedented number of submarines sent to sea only PA, 4,000 tons of British tonnage was lost as compared with 374,000 in May of last year."
 Tn spite of the fact that losses from marine risks were "unduly heavy" it can be said definitely that the enemy's s effort to cripple us by sea by an of fensive simultaneously to attacks on the western front has failed definitely. Sub. Sinkings Increased Although exact figures are wanting on the sinkings of submarines it is known they reached a higher figure last month than in any period since the submarine campaign began"
 Three movements are in progress and we can view each of them with satisfaction. Firstly the measures | adopted by the admiralty last year for combating the submarine. including thousands of mines manufactured for | the Straits of Dover and for interfer- | ing with the freedom of movement ot enemy craft through the northern exit to the North sea are proving very fruitful. Secondly. the steps taken tc defend merchant shipping agains mines and U boats-providing ships with other mine protection and organ izing convoys-are giving admira blt results. Thirdly, apart from the won derful record the Americans are put ting up in ship construction. Brltisl yards are making headway owing t, the fact that plans drawn up severa months ago for the extension of tn, yards and engine shops are beginninl to be productive"
 Losses Are Nearly Net
 MT. Hurd pointed out that the losse in British shipping in May exceede, the tonnage built by 2s,00O tons an, concludes:
 There already is evidence to shoy that the situation has still further i'm proved since the end of May. Tn curves are continuing a most encour aging course"

TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, June 26.-The un- heralded appearance in London today of Alexander Kerensky, former provis- ional premier of Russia, together with his announcement that he is on his way to America, and that he is certain Russia soon will be fighting again with the forces of democracy against German domination, caused wide dis cussion in official and diplomatic cir cles.
 Trying to RehabiIitate Russia
 As there apparently has been no in- timation of KerenSky's intended visit to this country, speculation naturally centered around his purpose in coming. The belief seems to be general that he not only will seek to enlist the support of his own people in this country in his efforts to rehabilitate Russia and cast off the German yoke, but Iill dis cuss the subject with officials as well
 Would Welcome Army Aid Coincident with the appearance ot Kerensky in London, John Sookine member of the Russian commission sent to the United States by the Ke- rensky government year ago and now just back from France, announced today that he had learned from inti- mate reports from Russia that the people would welcome military actior by the allies to overcome German dom ination. It is known that for some time powerful forces have been gath ering within Russia itself to restore order and establish a government il | accord with entente governments.

However. it has not yet bee made clear to what extent Kerensk represents the elements seeking to SC up a strong government in Russia an to what use he will be put in the allie plans for rehabilitation of that coun try.

 "On the fronts west of the Adlge fighting activity has been lively the past few days. On the Zugna ridge we repuIsed strong thrusts initiated by vigorous gunflre, with heavy enemy losses.
 "On the Asago plateau and be- tween the Brenta and the PlaVe yesterday was quieter.

Officers Full of Brag

| Another German officer, arrogant and sarcastic, remarked: | We are just starting with the Americans. We are going to wipe out whole divisions as if they were com panies."
 The German privates were less arro- gant and apparently were glad they were captured One declared that the Germans were surprised at the Amer jeans, who appeared so young, but fought like devils when tho got started. Another declared:
 Too Many Americans Coming
 The war will soon be ended. There are too many Americans coming to Europe
 This prisoner was a Prussian, who fought on the Russinn front. He con- fessed that the Germans were prepar- ing to attack the Americans in Bel leau wood, when the American troops started their attack. n V 2 a surprise affair. The Americans came one way, and the German officers tried to force their men forward the other way. This prisoner was shot in the leg by his own officer because he hesitated confusejly between the American guns and bay onets, and the pistols in the hands of the German officers.
 Graphic Story 1T Fight
 Raymond S. Howell, of Gainesville Ohio, who was in the first line of the advance, describing the operation said: We took up a position in the oper woods; there were no trenches. The Germans opened a heavy fire, and shells fell around us like rain. We charged over the rocky hill, our fel- lows laughing and yelling a war whoop I've then came upon a wheat field an( crossed in the face of a whitening shel and machine gun fire, and drove bacl the Germans at the point of the bay. onet.
 Tt was a wonderful sight. Tn, Americans never hesitated, and tn, sounds of their shouts and whooD were almost drowned by the Germans lcries of 'kamerad.'
 Pay Big Price rsn
 The Germans got few of our - lows, but we made them pay dearly fo every one"
 Herbert E. Bartley of Anita, Iowa told about a wounded American fore ing a big German to lead the way | the rear of the American lines. Whel they reached the lines, the America said quietly: Here's my prisoner. The German sheepishly nodded an said: "Yah."
 Regular Fourth of July
 Some idea cf the thoroughness wit which the Americans prepared for tn attack may be gleaned from the fac that they fired approximately 5,00 high explosives in one hour. The Amer ican gunners worked so fast, the Ger mans said they did not have time { think. The German lines were torn u and the ground around strewn wit German dead and wounded. Two mem bers of a German hospital corps wer captured.
 Capture Machine Guns
 Machine gun supplements, whic were hidden behind the rocks wer charged and captured, while a group ( several Americans captured one ma chine gun and 20 Germans in a she hole. The attacking force was a com paratively small one, but did the wor as thoroughly as one several times a large might have done.
