Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

 Householders were requested not under any circumstances to buy more than one and one-quarter pounds of clear beef weekly. or one and one half pounds, including the bone, for each person in the household.
 Hotels and restaurants were asked not to serve boiled beef more than two meals weekly, beefsteak more than one meal weekly. and roast beef more than one meal weekly
 "The demand for beef for our army the armies of the allies, and their civil ian populations for this summer" said the food administrations announce ment, are beyond our present supplies On the other hand. we have enough increased supply of pork this summer Q permit economical expansion in its use. It, therefore, will be a direc, l service to our armies and the allies ii l our people will in some degree substi- tute fresh pork, ham. bacon and sau- sage for beef products"

POSITION DELICATE ONE
 It had been admitted that the position of defending line on west bank of the Disc river was a deli cate one owing to the capture by the Germans of the outfIankins hills to the west, and success ful drive through the CarIepont wood on the opposite side of the stream seemingly would have necessitated a strategic retreat if the troops were not to be entirely cut off.
 AMERICAN ARTILLERYMEN
 Southwest of Montdidier, where the allied forces Tuesday in vio- lent counter attack made notable gains against the enemy, Ameri- can artillerymen have been thrown into the fray, and are harassing the north of Montdidier the Ger mans several times have tried to drive out the Americans from the village of Cantigny, but each time they have been repulsed. One party of 40 Germans was routed by the revolver fire of the de- lenders of the village.
 FIVE DIVISIONS FIGHT SAMMY
 Northwest of Chateau Thierry the Germans have thrown five divisions against the Americans fighting side by side with the French, but without avail. At tempts by the enemy to recapture the village of Bouresches went for naught.
 FIERCE FIGHTING REPORTED
 South of the Aisne river there has been fierce fighting down to the region of Villers Cotterets where the Germans are attempt ing to break through and bring their line west of Soissons to- ward Compiegne. Except that the combats were particularly severe on the front of Dommiers, Gu trey and south of Ambleny. no further details are available. ITALIANS SINK DREADNOUGHT
 In the other war theaters there have been no noteworthy activi- ties.
 Two Italian torpedo boats have carried out successfully daring raid against an Austrian naval division in the DaImatian islands. The dreadnought Szent istvan was torpedoed and sunk, accord ing to an official announcement made in Vienna while the Italian commanders report that a second battIeship was damaged by tor pedo.

 PARIS, June 12.-The French troops have made further advances around Belloy and St. Maur and have captured four hundred addi tIonal prisoners, some cannon and machine guns, according to the war office announcement tonight. They have also reoccupied Mont court and part of Bussiarcs, north of the Marne.
 The official report says that the French troops were withdrawn ly, Tracy-le-val and NampceI, un- der the protection of covering de- tachments, without the enemy De- ing aware of the movement.
 While most of the German at tacks were repuIsed, the enemy succeeded in getting foothold on the southern bank of the Matz river, occupying the village of Me- licocq and adjoining heights.
 Between Montdidier and the Disc, the enemy renewed his pressure during the day. On our left, all his attempts to wrest from us our gains of yesterday failed. We made progress in the region of Belloywood and St. Maur and took four hundred additional prisoners, as well as numerous cannon and machine guns. On the front of St. Maur-Auteuil there was no change.
 "On our right the Germans re- newed their attacks alonq the Matz river. After several at tempts, which cost them heavy losses, they succeeded in gaining footing on the south bank in the village of Melicocq and on the heights of Croix Ricard.
 East of the Disc our troops on Monday carried out a withdrawal on the line of Bailly, Tracy -Ie- Val and west of NampcaI under the protection of covering detach- ments, who masked our movement to the enemy. In the region of the Haute Braye we repuIsed an en- ery attack and took prisoners.
 South of the Asne desperate engagements, in which the fighting Was hand-to hand, took place be- tween the river and the forest of Viiiers Cotterets. Our troops of- fered spirited resistance to the at- tacks of the enemy who made slight progress on the plateau west ct the villages of Dommieres and Cutry. All his efforts against Am bleny and St. Pierre AigIe failed.
 North of the Marne our troops occupied Montcourt, the small woods north of Eloup and the southern part of 6ussiares."

Privy Councillor Simons is cuotea as follows:
 Lynehed Because German
 "The lynching of Prager is a fact and was committed for no other req son than that Prager was a German and sympathized with the German cause. The Swiss minister at Wash ington has lodged a complaint and asked for safeguards against such eXcesses.
 'The United States. which is al- legedly warning against the Huns n the interest of humanity, bears the main responsibility for the crime. The American government permitted Ger man hatred to be famed amongst the American people. The American government must find ways to pro. tect the rights and liberties of Ger mans in America.
 America is Warned
 The German government has re. peatedly made known. through tht Swiss minister, that progress in thii matter should be accelerated, what ever the conditions in the United States may be. The United State, government must under all circum. stances see that such things do no occur again"

M 'AD0O RATE ORDER
 FUR ARIZONA MEETS
 STATES OPPOSITION

The raising of railroad passenger rates within the state of Arizona by William G. McAdoo, director general of railroads, is to be opposed by the corporation commission of this state.
 That MT. McAdoo in ordering an in crease of railroad passenger rates within the state of Arizona has ex- ceeded his rights and has trespassed upon the rights of the state. is the opinion of the commission.
 Order Made on June
 In an order dated June and directed against the Grand Canyon Railway company, the corporation commission calls attention to the new schedule of rates made in accordance with the in structions of the director general of railroads, recites that in so filing them without first receiving the permission of the commission it has violated the law, and thereupon prohibits any change or attempt to change existing passenger rates within the state.
 Affects All State Lines The order of the corporation com mission against the Grand Canyon Railway company applies likewise to every other railway in the state as it concerns rates from point 10 point within the state.
 Simply Follows State Law
 'In issuing the order that the sched- ule of rates presented to the corpora | tion commission by the Grand Canyon Railway company for filing, the com mission, in declaring them unlawful and prohibiting their use. is simply following the laws of the state of Ari- zona," declared F. A. Jones, chairman of the commission yesterday. The law provides that a railroad, before at tempting to change rates within the state, first must obtain the permission of the corporation commission. This the Grand Canyon company did not do, neither has any other railroad ir the state in this case"
 Although numerous corporation of ficials of various states have stated that, in their opinion. MT. McAdoo, di- rector general of railroads had gone beyond his rights in attempting to in crease passenger rates of railroads be- tween points entirely within a state the Arizona corporation commission is the first commission to take officia action with reference to the order.
 Denies McAdoo's Rights
 Tn my opinion" said A. A. Betts, z members of the commission, MT. Me Adoo is absolutely without power tt make such an order increasing rate' within the state of Arizona. Neither he nor the president was given author ity by congress to trespass upon stat rights in increasing fares within { state, and in the act of congress whicl took over the railroads of the countr! for federal control there is nothint that would give the director general tn right to assume such power.
 Unfair Burden on People
 Tt also places an unfair burden ol the people of this state in abolishini all reduced rates within the state While in the east the increase. in tn abolishing of reduced and excursion rates, will amount to only from 15 to 2 per cent, in Arizona it amounts to iron 40 to 50 per cent"
 That the railroads of Arizona woul ignore the prohibitive order of the cor poration commission and continue t obey the instructions of the directo l (Continued on page Two)

MILLION
 IN SERVICE IN FRANCE WITHIN NEAR FUTURE
Secretary Baker Declares
 United States Will Soon Pass Million Mark for It's Army Branch Abroad
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WEST POINT, N. Y, June 12.- More than a million American men will be in service in France in the near future, declared Secretary of War Baker in an address today to 1S7 graduates of the United States military academy
 Supplementing his recent announce ment in Washington that United States troops exceeded 100000 in number have disembarked on French soil, the secretary told the cadets it is not unfair to speculate that We will shortly pass the million wark."
 Firm for Shipping Soldiers General Peyton c. March, chief of staff, who made commencement day the occasion of his official visit to the academy. said that neither the menace of raiding German submarines off the Atlantic coast, nor the terri torlal gains of the enemy on the western front, will affect Americas policy of sending men to France as last as ships can carry them Graduate One Year Ahead Today's graduation was that of the class of 1919 whose members were awarded their diplomas a year ahead of time, the first since 1917 to attain ] that distinction, because of the urg- ent demand in the army for trained officers
 Secretary Baker who awarded the diplomas to the graduates, told them | they were destined to have a part in ] leading the armies of the nation ts a victorious peace. After that" he said, "es officers of the regular army, you VIII prepare. not for war. but ts far l> | wants to make it.
 The Theory of Democracy MT. Baker declared that the United States became a belligerent because Germany tried to crush individual human happiness and liberty, which we call the theory of democracy.
 We have joined a combination ill which France and Great Britain and Italy and the United States have as sembled in France the greatest force for righteousness the world has ever seen" he continued. We see in that combination a submergency of in ternational discord and of national selfishness.
 In the Roll of Nations
 "I can imagine that when the God of nations calls the roll of those who have been faithful England will say I am here with my ships and my men. My losses are grievous, but my spirit is unbroken.
 Italy answers, too, from the Alps to the Asiago. She says: My sons are here dying and struggling, but holding the mountain passes against those who would crush us.'
 Response from France
 And France-oh, the beauty and sublimity of her response: I am here bleeding at every pore. My country is part occupied. The mother eartf has received to itself again hundreds !. of thousands of my dead children. But our heads are high. our determina tion is unbroken. They shall no pass
 And when America answers, doe 1t not thrill you to hear: We too, hay, crossed the danger infested seas 8 Lafayette and Rochambeau did lon; years since; we have CO., ordinated ou
 workshops and fabricated our ma terials. We are marching hundred
 of thousands strong and we will con tinue to be there to the end'."

LEGISLATURE HAS
 DEFENSE COUNCIL
 MEASURE UP AGAIN

The legislature had done so much tho day before that it had nothing but raw material on hand. Most of it's work yesterday was therefore done in the committee of the whole in both branches, getting ready for another output today. Everybody who has ever lived in a maple sugar region knows what a stirring off means. It is preceded by a gathering of the sap and the boiling of it to the point where it can be quickly converted into sugar. The two committees of the whole spent yesterday in boiling down." And the weather helped some.
 State Council of Defense
 Almost the entire time of the house was given 10 the consideration of the problem of the state council of defense. When the senate bill creating a council passed the day before was received, a motion was made under a suspension of the rules to send it directly to the committee of the whole for early action A division at once occurred and it was developed that a majority was against taking the bill out of it's regular course It was therefore referred to con- mittee.
 House Has Two Measures
 The house had, however, two bills oi its own, No. 26 and 27 and both oi them on the calendar of the whole committee. The first was taken up Originally this bill provided for a coun- cil of IS members, the governor. the attorney general and one from eact county. appointed by the board of su. pervisor5 of the county. In the com. mittee this bill had been amended SC that the appointment should be mad, by the governor, the appointments tt be approved by the boards of super visors and no appointment to be com plete without such approval. Min, members would constitute a quorum.
 Requirement. Changed
 In order that all the counties migh be represented in the council Mir. Line offered motion that the counci should not be organized until at leas l2 of the boards of superviors hat given their approval to the appoint ment of the member from their re spective counties. By suggestion MT Lines reduced the number of board required to lend their approval to 10.
 Want Non Partisan Council
 Mir. Walton offered a motion to sub stitute section of House Bill 27 for tn corresponding section of this bill. Thi section authorizes the appointment O he members of the council without tn advice or consent of any other body There was a spirited debate of an hou on this motion but it was eventuall defeated and Mir.
