WAsHINGroN, June 2&.-The Entente
Allies are now earnestly seeking a So
luton OF the Russian problem. one which
will assist President Wilson in the ex-
ec.itIon Of his pledge to stand behind
Russia and latest reports from Europe
Indicate that progress is being made.
Difficulties which presented themselves
at the outset of the negotiations lay In
the divergence OF the aims OF the sepa rate
Entente Governments. as we'll as between
their ideals and the declarations of the
American Chief Executive.
These differences are understood to
have touched the future Of Russia. sup
posing success attended the combined
efforts OF the Allies to rehablitate the
nation as an independent state. abso-
lutely free OF German control. Then
there was a lack OF concrete plans that
seemed reasonably certain to guarantee
successful Intervention which would give
immediate results by destroying German
influence in Russia without exciting the
bitter resentment OF the great mass Of
the Russian people.

nothing has yet occurred to warrant any

the American ideals. which seek no
profit from a renovated Russia other than
military and moral assistance that
would naturally follow.

AUSTRIAN ROUT
IN FULLSWING
Italians Rail Upon Rear Guard
and Work Havoc on Re-
treating Army.
LOSSES ARE ENORMOUS
Even the Guns Captured on
FIRST Days Of the Offensive
Are Recovered.

'opyr,0hf 1915: OF riohis resrrtrd
LONDON. June IA description o.
the flight Of the Austrian army across
the Piave Is furnished to-day by Luig
Barzini, the correspondent OF the Milan
Corri're della Srru with the Italian
armies on the Fiavc. "a follows
From the crowded events % the last
two days il is now possible to give some
OF the details Of the Austrian roat. their
retreat across the Piav" and the reient-
less pursuit by the Italian infantry and
cavalry. the unCeasing and devastating
fire OF the Italian artillery and the
harassing ATTACKS by the allied a!rmen.
Reports at hard to-day show that be-
tween 5000 and 100 600 Austrans who
had succeeded In crossing the Piave In
the first DAYS OF the drive to crush Italy
have been routed and that those who re-
mained on the west bank OF the river
have been swept and cut to pieces on
the narrow plain they occupied along the
bank by the Italian artillery.
Thousands Were Cut OF.
The retrea, OF the Austrans was
thrown into helpless confusion by the
Italian forces and the allied airmen. who
rained bombs and turned their machine
guns on the trapped enemy. Thsse at
tacking forces cut on thousands Of Aus
,riahs in addition to inhictng heavy
losses on the fleeing enemy.
The retreat OF the Austrians began on
Saturday night. Al that time the Aus
,rians ascertained that conditions on
the righ, bank %! the river were more
critical. owing to the pressure OF the
Italian troops and the flooded condition
OF the Piave. Orders We're issued to
hold back the Italians AT any cost dur
ing their assaults on SUNDAY in the hope
that the ma jority of the forces could re-
cross the river that day.
In their first attacks yesterday The
Italian troops discovered the retirement
NOV enent of the Austr!anS and forth
with the Italian artillery opened Are
along the stretch on the right bank oc-
cupied by the enemy and on the bridges
, crossing the Pia"e.
Many Perish In River.
On the Montello plateau the Italians
, broke through and forced the Austrian
, rear guards backward. thus trans form
ing the retreat into a rout. Hundreds
OF Austrlans perished in the river. while
the Italian guns pounded the bridges
and pontoons. Every avenue of escape
for the enemy was cut off by the Ita!-
ians. his decimated troops leaving thou
sands OF prisoners and all their supplies
in the hands Of the Italians.

The problems which are presenting
themselves are and diff
.Hlt. Problems which would ordinarily
nrise in peace times are now enlarged
oy the absence of one or more of the
members of the family and are made
o complicated by war conditions.
Not only is relief needed in many
cases, but prompt advice and informa-
ton Is of tremendous concern TO these
families. Mails would be flooded, the
work Of military and federal authori-
ties would be hampered. and families
would be in anxiety and distress were
1t not for the fact that Home Service
Sections of the Red Cross have ostab-
lished an informationt service 10 an:
swer all questions. Among other
things, they are equipped with &C
curate information regarding the rates
of pay of various classes of enlisted
men, the proper form of addressing
mail to them, the condition of dis
charged men and the provision for
after-care Of disabled men, the proper
procedure for securing allotments and
allowances, the protection Of civil
rights of men in the service, rules
and regulations in connection with the
soldiers and sailors Of our allies. the
shipment and burial Of deceased men,
and a multitude of other matters
which are so vital to the comfort and
welfare of the family. Every new law
and regulations is promptly communi.
Gated to the Home Service Sections.
Most of these sections include one or
more lawyers who ran give advice on
the most technical questions.
Hermanner Volksblatt. [volume] (Hermann, Mo.) 1875-1928, 1918-06-28

Recently a group Of attorneys IN
Washington has been watching gov.
eminent reports on the death or IN
jury of soldiers and sailors and writ
ing to the nearest relative for the pur-
pose of securing a fee as attorney or
claim agent. The Bureau Of War Risk
Insurance has announced that 1t will
not be necessary to consult or employ
an attorney, claim agent or other per.
son to secure the benefits to which
a family is entitled under the law OF
Oct. 6, 1917. The Civilian Relief De-
partment of the Southwestern Division,
anticipating the activities of unpa-
triotic lawyers and claim agents, ad-
vised all of its Home Service Sections
several months ago to prepare them
selves for this kind Of service, and tho
sections have announced to their re-
spective communities that they are
prepared to give the families all neces-
sary information should death or in
jury occur to a loved one. The Home
Service Section can tell what inan.
cial compensation will be made to
the family, how it can be obtained and
will supply the necessary forms on
which to make application. Thus
every dollar to which the family is en-
titled for the government will be re.
ceived by them and not spent for un-
necessary attorneys or claim agents
fees.

ONCE first our snes stood beside the stream,
And fired the shot that echoed round the world
Has come to pass the epoch Of their dream
When to the April breeze their flag unfmled.
TODAY, where floats the Stars and Stripes, we deem
l Each star defiance at the tyrant hurled;
Each stripe a bar 'gainst despots, too, would seem
To interpose for human rights impenled.
TODAY, in foreign lands, the flag is flung
l Against a crimson sky across the sea,
Where battles bane from out the land has wrung
Its dreadful toll. 1t promises to free
Each nation, and to number each among
All peoples in a worldwide liberty.
-HARLOWE r.. HOYT.
