STILL HOPEFUL OF RUSSIAN
X konovaloff Believes Allied lnterven-

Toxic, May 28.-Allied interven
iion Is ecessary in Russia, in the
opinion Of Alexander l. Konovaloff,
minister of commerce in the Kercnsky
Cabinet, who has arrived here on sih
way to the United States. He said
the object of his visit to America was
TO aid the reconstruction of Russia by
informing Americans of exact condi
tons there
The former minister declared that
the present regime is destructive and
hopeless. He believes Allied inter
vention would restore order, create
responsible government and hasten
the winning Of the war by combating
the Germans and Austrians.
If intervention is delayed anarchy
is inevitable, and there is danger OF
the Bourgeoise and the Socialists
turning to Germany for help, he said

AMERICANS PUSH HUNS BACK
NURSES WILL NOT FALTER
Bombing of Hospitals Will Not De-
ter Them

Washington, June 3.-The deliber-
ate bombing of hospitals by German
fliers will not deter American nurses
from seeking service in France, said
Miss Jane A. Delano, director of the
department of nursing of the Red
Cross, in a statement today.
"The persistent bombing of Red
Cross hospitals just as our drive to
obtain enrolment of military nurses
begins. may be a coincidence" said
Miss Delano. "If, however, the Ger
mans believe that such methods will
have any effect in deterrring Ameri-
can nurses from volunteering for hos
pital work, they are badly mistaken.
Tactics Of frightfulness will mere
~ send more and more of them to
back up our men. If it is the German
intention of frightening our women
they will find that American women
90 not know how to retreat any more
than do our boys in Picardy. The en-
rollment of nurses will be American
womanhood's answer"

HUNS BUYING FOR FUTURE
Pushing Their Economic Control in
Central Asia

London. June s. The Germans
steadily pushing the tcntacles of
their economic control far into Cen
trail Asia, where they are buying up
available orders for many years
ahead, says The Daily Chronicle. The
foundation Of these developments is in
the German control of Rumania and
the Ukraine.
"Control Of the Rumanian and Tx
ramlan harvests would provide Ger
many, not only in this, but in any
future war with complete solution
of her food problem" The Chronicle
adds. She would also, thanks to her
unlimited access to Central Asia. have
little further trouble with any but
Tropical raw materials.
"Her eastern policy can only be un
done adequately by the Allies after
they have achieved victory. but more
attempts ought to be made now to
Illustrate present developments.

Fighting Shoulder to Shoulder With
French, Uncle Sans Soldiers, Bar
Road to Paris Against Huns
INVASION ABOUT HALTED
Only Gains Recorded by Germans
Yesterday Were Slight Gains Be
tween the Aisne and the Ourcq

The Americans on the sectors where
they are alone or brigadcd with Allied
troops everywhere ar, fighting with
a spirit that places them right with
the category of veterans. Near the
Neuilly wood, which lies northwest of
ChateauThierry and at the point
where the drive has brought the en-
emy nearest Paris, the Americans
have beaten off q strong German at
tack and on the Marne at Jaulgonne,
northeast of Chateau-Thierry, fight
ing shoulder to shoulder with the
French, they have aided in forcing
the first contingent o. the enemy to
cross the Marne again. In this last
severe casualties and also left 100
prisoners.
Invaders About Halted
From drives on wdic fronts the Ger
man offensive in France has detcrior-
ated into isolated attacks along the
area from SOiSsonS and Chateau
thlerry and eastward to the Marne
in the general direction of Rheims.
Although in these attacks the enc

great numbers Of guns, he is being

progress and on various sectors COM
PEELED to assume the defensive against
vicious blows delivered by the Amcri
can, French and British troops.
Slight Hun Gains
Between the Aisne and Ourcu rivers
the Germans have captured Pcrnant
and to the south of that village the
French have ceded little terrain. In
tn Ourcq valley they also took the
town of Neuilly La Poteric (Vcuilly
La Poterie) seven and one-half r1iles
northwest Of -Thierry, in
fighting during which the place
changed hands several times. In the
region between the Disc and the
Alsne the Germans have been unable
to advance anywhere. The losses of
the Germans near Pernant were ex-
tremely heavy.
On Northern End
There still is only moderate activity
along the line held by the British in
Flanders and Picardy, where patrol
activities and bombarding continue.
