DEMAND PREPARATION
Sailors Unite in Pact Against Service
With Germans or Austrians.

English, Italian, Russian, Belgian,
Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, Danish
and French seamen have all united
in a pact to demand PREPARATION from
Germany for the high sea crimes COM
mitted by German and Austrian SUBJ
marine crews, according to an official
French wireless received in Washing
ton yesterday.
The men are organizing and agree
ing not to serve with German or Aus
trian seamen after the war unless the
crimes of the submarine crews are
punished and Germany makes repara-
ton to the victims. Havelock Wilson,
of the Great Company of English Sea-
men, and M. Rivelle, of the French
Registered Seamen, have declared
anew that all of the non-Teuton mer-
chant marines will stick by the decla
rations unanimously adopted at the
London convention. The allied and
seamen will also demand the
dissolution of the international union
which now includes the Teutons.

a front of about seven and a halt
miles between Hubescourt and St.
Maur, recapturing Belloy, Genlis

AMERICANS VICTORIOUS
Fierce Bombardment Precedes Dash to
Victory.

With the American Army at the
Marine, June PA battalion of Amer
lean marines yesterday morning took
the northern half Of Belleu Woods,
northwest of Chateau-Thierryi cap
turing $50 Prussian and Saxon pri:-
oners, including ten officers and two
Krupp field guns of three-inch caliber,
several huge Minenwerfers, as we'll as
machine guns.
The attack was delivered after two
hours of preliminary bombardment in
which the allied artillery made the
shell-shattered wood an inferno for
the Germans resting there.
The furious American assaults
found the Germans stunned and reel
ing, ready to surrender. The Ameri-
can machine gunners inflicted the
heaviest casualties upon the enemy.
Owing to the excellent artillery prep
aration and the swiTtness of the op-
Grafton, the American casualties were
light.
The Germans launched an attack on
Bouresches at 5 O'Clock, but the as
sault was smashed, thanks to the cool
less of the American machine gun
ners and the accuracy of the artillery.
Paris, June 1.-THE losses the Ger
mans are suffering in the present drive
are described by correspondents at
the front as almost fantastic. The
Germans are living up to their boast
that they would waste 100000 men
to reach Paris.
Constantly fresh divisions, called up
from all parts of the western front,
are thrown into the battle. The leu
ton advance is most serious below
Ribecourt, where the Germans are ex-
changing mounds of dead for bits OF
French soil.

BURIAN TALKS PEACE AGAIN
But Does Not Expect to Get 1t Until
Allies Change Their Minds.

Vienna, June ~. = Baron Burian,
the Austro-Hungarian minister foc
foreign affairs, in an interview print
ed in Azest, said he still adhered to
the policy of peace by understanding
as expressed in December, 1916, and
continued:
"The Dual Monarchy seeks no an
nexations. We already have conclud-
ed four peace treaties, but none OF
them contains anything that could be
interpreted as conquest. Regarding
Rumania, which attacked US, we ma
turally had to think Of safeguarding
our hitherto unprotected frontier. The
annexation of this almost uninhabit-
ed strip of wooded Carpathian passes
has nothing whatever to do with the
subjugation of foreign peoples. More
over, the Rumanians themselves, |
dare say, are not under the impress
sion that they have been treated too
harshly."
Baron Burian said there could hard
" be a question of any fresh peace
offer by the Quadruple Alliance so
long as the "leading statesmen of the
entent espouse views, such as those
expressed by Premier Lloyd George in
his recent speech in London; so long
as statesmen talk like that nothing
remains but to defend ourselves reso-
lutely." ::
