AMENDMENT SOON ID
 PASS BY SENATORS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. June 24.-After con- ference with President Wilson at the White House late today delegation of senators supporting the. house resolu- ton for submission to the states of a federal suffrage constitutional amend ment predicted that the resolution would be passed by the senate next Thursday. They said the president was very enthusiastic" in his support of the amendment.
 The president is understood to have reiterated his belief that the suffrage resolution is an important war meas ure. The adoption of the resolution, the president is said to have told the senators, will prove a striking demon stration of the democracy existing in the United States. Members of the delegation said the president feels it would be difficult for peoples of some foreign nations to understand rejection of equal franchise proposal in view of the often expressed democratic war aims of this country.
 The democratic national congress sional committee at 8 meeting tonight adopted unanimously a resolution urg- ing the passage of the suffrage amend ment by the senate. The resolution was drafted and offered by Speaker Clark.

Austria's Supreme Effort

"The Italians have recaptured MOn- tello and are now for the first time in months on the left side of the Piave. They have captured a number of guns and recaptured half the guns lost in the first offensive.
 "The Austrian army committed its whole strength to this great offensive and had inflicted upon it one of the greatest disasters of the war. There is at this time serious discomfort in Austria when three fifths of the popu- laton are completely out of sympathy with the objects of the war-as a mat ter of fact they are far more in sym pathy with the aims of the allies-and when three -fifths of the population are well aware that their only chance of achieving anything in the nature of freedom for themselves was to secure a great allied victory, and at a time when the whole of the Austrian pris- oners belonging to one great and pow erful race in Austria were actually congregating in order to come over and fight on the allied side in Siberia. I refer to the Czecho- -Slovaks. This is matter of great significance and hope.

There is not the faintest doubt in my mind. surveying the whole position and looking at the whole facts, our victory will be compete" Following MT. Lloyd George, former Premier Asquith said he considered it of the utmost importance that i've ac- quaint the Russian people with our desire to help them; that we are their friends not merely in a sentimental fashion but friends whose friendship had not been cooled or impaired by the disastrous defection of the Russian government"
 Let us therefore" Mr Asquith con- tinued. with no uncertain or divided voice send that message to the Russian | people and be prepared to back it up by every means, diplomatic or other wise"

If a fOrding had been lacking and if he had been obliged to count on pontoons painfully thrown across the river under the Italian fire, his losses would have been still more appalling than they were

SHORT LINE ROADS FACE BANKRUPTCY
 TESTIMONY GIVEN
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Because of the railroad administrations atti- tude toward the short line railroads of the country, 10000 miles of lines be- longing to smaller companies are now on the verge of bankruptcy and thir- teen to suspend operations represen- tatives of the short lines told the sen ate interstate commerce committee to- day. They urged an amendment to prevent relinquishment of short lines while control of competing trunk lines is retained
 Ben B. King of Dallas, Texas, and member of the executive committee of the American short line railroad asso, citation. bitterly assailed the adminis- tration's attitude.
 Witnesses told the committee that, 800 short line railroads in the country with total of 30,O00 miles of track are affected by the resolution.
 Administration Defended
 John Barton Payne, counsellor to the railroad administration, defended the administrators action in relinquish- ing control over the Colorado Midland railroad. declaring the $300000 a year compensation asked by President Car teton was exorbitant The road, MT. eiS iAc 9''iu, OI'i OoVlle'N d 9-'VVV,VVU lH- vestment and had been operating at a loss.
 Mir. Payne said the problem of the short line railroads is a great one ana | that the railroad administration is do, ing it's best to meet it in a wise way.
 Senator Cummins of Iowa took ex- l ceptiOn to what he said was the ad ministration's attitude toward the roads. He said the law permits settle ments of compensation claims in the courts and added that he believed il would be far better for the administra- tion to take this course than drive the roads into bankruptcy.

GERMANYS COTTON SUPPLY
(Fron Asia.)

Since the war began everyone has learned that cotton is not merely the most important of all materials for clothing, but that it is also the basis of the most powerful explosives. AL most nothing has bothered Germany more than her deficient cotton supply. Before the war we were sending her two and a half to three million bales of cotton per year, each bale contain ing 800 pounds. The Germans also bought cotton elsewhere. The war cut their available supply practically to zero. One can readily see what the situation is from the following table showing the approximate production in 500- pound bales during 1916:

Over Million by July 1

The accelerated movement of Amer ican troops to France is going ahead without confusion. There is certainty in the minds of high officials that in excess of a million men will have been shipped before July 1. Originally it was not hoped to reach this figure. but the shipping obtained from Great Britain has proved sufficient to in- crease the program.

AT the large producers were actively hostile to Germany before the Russian debacle. Now the Teutons have Rus sia's production in their hands. To be sure, this amounts only to about a quarter of what Germany and her al lies need among them, but something can be obtained from China, for China's hostility to Germany does not go deep enough to have much effect upon her trade.

CHICAGO. June 24.-Federal Judge Landis delat a hard blow to the defense in the l. w. w. trial today, counsel ad- mitted, when he barred from evidence the II volume report of the federal in- dustrial relations commission of which Frank P. Walsh was chairman.
 The commissions report is known as the T. w. W. Bible,' according to George r. Vanderveer, chief counsel for the defense, and on its findings the I. w. w. based it's entire course of deal ing with the industrial situation, ac- cording to MT. Vanderveer.

(COntlnued rom page One) that the Germans expected much greater things than they had been able to achieve.
 With regard to Russia, that country was in a perfectly chaotic condition. One could hardly find the same gov ernment in any two villages. It was useless talking about the Russian gov ernment, as if there were one govern ment for the whole country. That was one of the difficulties that had to be dealt with. There was a de facto gov ernment in Moscow, but also one in almost every other place. and condi- tions were changing daily
 Russia Must Realize
 q quite agree that it is to our inter- est, and just and equitable to stand by Russia if Russia wants us to- said the premier. Russia has been brutally treated by Germany. She has been dismembered and the treaties which Germany concluded have not been re- spected "A hours. In defiance of the treaties, Germany is marching through Ukraine, the Don territory and Cau- casia and will carry her march to the north.
 "No doubt these facts are getting well into the minds of the Russian people. The feeling in Russia some months ago that there was no differ ence between the allied and the enemy countries. but that all were striving greedily for territory, has disappeared. The Russians are beginning to realize what German militarism means. Even the Ukranian peasants are in revolt against German interference.
 Russia's Hate for Hun Growing
 q have been informed on very good authority during the last few hours that hatred for the Germans is sinking deeper and deeper into the minds of the Russian people, especially in the parts occupied by the Germans. My infor- mant tells me that Russia is reader than ever to participate in any move ment to drive the Germans from Rus sian soil.
 These things are full of hope, but there are difficulties of access to Rus sia. The only country having access on a great scale is Japan. but on this subject I doubt whether can do good l by saying anything.
 ltaIy's Victory Looms Large
 Perhaps I ought to say a word or Italy. The Italians victory is one oi | the most pOTltHlOuS events Ol Jlle veal and it may have infinitely greater re- suits than other victories which look | bigger. It is a defeat inflicted on Q power not in the best condition to sus- stain it.
 Here is a great encounter in whicf the Austrian empire is being held. Al the strength she has been able tC gather is being held. because for thi; attack she brought up every available man. Considerably more than 50 pei cent of the Austrian effectives were engaged in this attack. Had they cap tured the Montello position they nigh have got behind the whole allied posi- tiOn and 1t might have been disastrous But they were held by the Italian army. The pressure against them in creased daily, and now the Austrian are in full retreat, and the, only ques ton is whether they will be able t effect their retreat.
