IKERENSKY APPEARS
IN LONDON EN- ROUTE
To UNITED STATES

London, June 26.-Alexander
Kerensky, former provisional pre-
mier in Russia, has arrived in Lon
don.
Former Premier Kerensky is on
his way to America.
Ex-premier Kerensky has been in
London for several days. He was
kept in retirement, however, and
few Russians have been aware OF
his arrival. His health is bad and
those who have seen him say he has
gone through remarkable adventures
in escaping from Russia and in his
Journey to England.
Kerensky was introduced to the
British labor conference here this
afternoon and was received by the
delegates with loud cheers.
81 believe, indeed, | am certain.
added the former premier, that
the Russian people will shortly join
you in the fight for the great
cause of freedom"

Hun CfMceNor Will
Not further Discuss
Wilson S 4 Pm7ciples

Such an indemnity was not provid-
ed for in the instructions to the ne
gotiators, added the secretary, who
continued:
"Rumania is, however, under the
group of treaties submitted to you,
to render very considerable services
to Germany even in the way of
money. With conscientious full
fllment of obligations the Ruman-
ian financial position will be the re-
verse of brilliant, and the Rumanian
people will be obliged to make Sc
rious efforts in order to be able to
meet these obligations. The objec-
ton that Germany is not concerned
is untenable for we must render it
possible for the debtor to make pay
ment."
There was an utter absence of en-
thusiasm in the reichstag debate,
says the Berlin dispatch to The
Handelsblad. Foreign Secretary
Kuehlmann had hardly begun to
speak when it became so dark in the
house that the deputies could hard
ly be distinguished from the press
gallery. The atmosphere of gloom,
il is added, was symptometic of the
entire speech and its reception, es-
pecially the foreign secretary's ref
ernc to tn prolongation of the war.

ployment Office, 200 l-2 West Main

istered, who have volunteered for
work at the shipyards at San Fran
cisco. Most of these men are from
the oil fields and will leave Monday.
Mr.. Fronterhouse has a number
Of applications for work at Mussle

After six attacks, which contin-
ucd Saturday night and Sunday
morning, there remained at o'clock
Monday afternoon only 90 men of
the brigade. The others were eth
er prisoners, wounded or dead. The
commanding officer then committed
suicide and the 90 surrendered.
Yesterday was the anniversary OF
the battle of Solferino, in which.
50 years ago, the French and ltal-
ian armies defeated the Austrians.
The victory was proudly emulated
by the Italian army in the present
fighting. In fleeing Austrians left
behind them much war material.
The enemy troops even threw away
their rifles and deserted hundreds
of machine guns, which were to
have been used to protect the re-
trement.
1t is estimated that the number
OF Austrians on the western bank
OF the Piave when the retreat be-
gan was over 100000. This great
number of men, however, could do
nothing against the Italian pressure
despite continuous counter attacks.
Example of Losses.
The Italian official statement on
the past week has frequently en-
phasizcd the fearful losse sinflicted
on the Austrians. Among sixteen
prisoners taken at one time on
Montello, for instance, it was OBJ
served that they belonged TO no less
than seven different regiments.
Prisoners report that serious losses
were caused by the Italian artil
lery, trench bombs and machine
guns. The 18th Schuetzen division
is reported to have lost, on an av-
erage, so men from each company.
