GROWS WITH HUNGER;
WAR NOW UNPOPULAR
100 Marks for Sick Dog 10 Eat, a
Common Saying, Declares
Dutchman.

LONDON, June 2l.-Food con-
ditions in Germany are becom-
ing worse and there is great dis
content there owing to reduction ia
the bread ration. according to n
Dutchman interviewed by the corrn-
spondent OF the Times at The Hague.
The Dutchman had just returned
from working in the krupp plant at
Essen. which he left because he cou
not stand the food conditions. TIE
German people. he added, feared 10
grumble openly lest they be sent 20
the front.
The correspondent says that tn,
testimony corroDorates what he has
heard from many other witnesses
and adds:
"one popular saying is that the
people will pay loc marks for a sici
dog TO eat. The war Is becoming
very unpopular among the workers
but the feeling ebbs and flows with
the tide OF Germany's success, ant
the English are generally cursed"

2O-YEAR PRISON
TERMS FOR SEVEN
OF RUSSELL|TES
Men Convicted on Charges
of ObStructing Draft Are
Sentenced.

Sentences OF eighty years Ia prison
were imposed by Judge Howe to-day
on each OF seven "Russellites." con-
victed in the United States District
Court, Brooklyn. on charges of con-
spiracy to cause insubordination and
refusal OF duty in the armed forces
of the United states.
Each had been found guilty on four
Indictments. and the sentence was
twenty years on each count. II was
granted by the Court. however, that
the sentences shall commence and run
concurrently, so that the prisoners
may be released. in twenty years.
Those sentenced are:
Joseph +. Rutherford. successor 20
Pastor Russell; William +. Van Am J..
burgh, Robert J. Martin, Fred II.
Robson. George II. Fisher, Clayton j.
Woodwork and A, Hugh Mcmillan.
The eighth member of the convicted
group is Giovanni de Cecca. In his
case sentence was deferred until .
further investigation can be made.
About 800 other "Russeliites" are
under arrest in other parts of the
country under similar charges.
Judge Howe declined to grant a
stay OF execution pending appeal In
passing sentence he said:
I'm the opinion OF the Court the
religious propaganda which the de-
fcndants vigorously advocated and
spread among the armed forces OF
the United States and he" allies is
more dangerous than a division of
the German army.
III these defendants had taken
guns and swords and Joined theosier-
man Army the harm would have been
insignificant compared with the re-
suits OF this propaganda. 4 person
preaching religion usually has much
influence, and ~ he is sincere he Is
all the more effective. This only ag-
gravates. instead OF mitigating, the
wrong done. Therefore. as the only
| prudent thing TO do with such per-
sons. the Court has decided TO pun
| ish them severely

TERs. Thursday. June co.-(Asso-
ciated Press Tho second phase OF
the Austrian offensive, featured by
attacks to the right and left OF vals-
tagna, along the Brenta River and in
the mountains should logically begin
soon. now that the effort on the Piave
has failed. 1t is felt that II tho Aus
trains do not renew their effors 20
penetrate to the plains through the
Brenta region and taking Monte
Crappa II would be an acknowledG-
ment of -defeat and their inability TO
carry out the ambitious plan launched
o week ago.
The situation Is still regarded as
serious and all preparations have been
made 10 meet any new offensive.
Along the Piave the Italian POSI-
tions are virtually unchanged. The
Austrians are fighting well. according
to the Italians, but the latter are out
chasing them. II is believed that the
Italians would have driven the
Austrians back across the river be-
fore this but for the nature OF the
open nghting. which an American'on
this front said reminded him Of the
Indian combats in the old days.
Night fighting and bushwhacklng
methods are necessary. although they
are not favored by the military au-
thorities because OF the confusion and
danger OF firing upon their own men,
especially where large bodies Of
troops are engaged. Another DIM
Guilty has been the similarity in color

The Austrian losses have been ex-
tremely heavy. Although there is
much sharp lighting. there are man"
iuils during which the only distrac-
=. tion OF the armies is watching the
bombing operations OF the rival avi-
. ators.
The fighting on the Montello Pla-
teau continues to be very sevore, since
Il Is felt by the Italians that the
loss OF this position would be more
! important than the withdrawal from
q few kilometres of ground along the

The conditions there are also bad

crossed by seventy-two ravines. eaci

OF the intensity OF the Austrians' re

The Austrians, early In the offen
dive, had almost half the plateau

third, including many OF their bes
positions. such as the town OF Ner
