More than 5000 men have been
taken by the Italians since the of
fensive began and many guns and sew
eral hundred machine guns have been
captured. That intensive air fighting
also has taken place is shown by the
fact that 50 enemy planes have been
shot down. Only two of the allied
machines have failed to return to thei
base.
Huns Beaten at Rheims.
The attacks of the Germans near
Rheims resulted disastrously to them.
Hardly had they left their trenches
after one of the most terrific bonn
bardments with shells of all caliber,
including gas projectiles, ever expert
enced on the western front, nearly
10000 men were faced by the REIN
forced French armies and literally cut
to pieces and forced to fall back pre-
cipitately. Only at one point, to the
east Of Rheims, did the enemy succeed
in penetrating the French line. Here
they were elected almost Immediately.
The German official communication
describes the attack as a denonstra-
ton of artillery and mine throwers.
Little activity has prevailed on the
remainder Of the western front except
the usual reciprocal bombardments
and operations in the nature of patrol
engagements.
The success of the recent naval at
tack by the British on the German
submarine base at Zeebrugge SEEM
ingly was more successful than antici-
pated. Twenty-one destroyers,
large number of submarines and nu-
merous auxiliary craft are blocked in
the canal by the ships sunk across the
waterway.
Fighting in the Open.
Italian Army Headquarters, June 1o.
Strenuous fighting continued today
around the Montellao plateau and on
the bottom lands along the Piave near
San Dona Di Piave, both the Italians
and Austrians concentrating their eff
forts at these points. Most of the
battles are in the open without pro-
tecting trenches.

Curtail Use Of Light,
Coal Conservation Plan

Washington. June 19.-The public
will be asked soon by the government
to broaden its list of war sacrifices
to include electric lights and gas as a
means of saving coal.
One suggestion being studied is to
notify all households that they may
consume hereafter only half of the
average amount of electricity and gas
burned each month during the past
year. If that amount should be
reached before the end of the month,
the supply would be cut off for the
remaining days of that month.

DECREE AND Cash
TO YOUNG WOMAN
SUING STOECkER
Fifteen Thousand Dollars ALI
mony Given Common Law
Wife of Capitalist by
Judge Troup.

Theresa Stoecker, common-law
wife of William F. Stoecker, wealthy
Omahan and former politician, was
awarded a divorce and $4,000 alimony
by Judge Troup in district court Wed
nesday afternoon.
The trial of the suit, in which
Theresa Stoecker, little Bohemian
woman, sought to establish her rights
as wife of William Stoecker by having
the court award her a divorce and
100000 alimony, was started before
Judge Troup a week ago Monday.
The hearing was finished last Friday
and the case was then taken under ad-
visement by the judge.
Question of Contract.
In handing down his decision, Judge
Jroup said that the principal point Of
contention to be decided was whether
or not the parties involved had enter
ed into a marriage contract, verbal or
otherwise, by which each accepted the
other as husband and wife, respec-
lively.
Il hold that the parties did enter
into such a marriage ceremony" the
Judge said, "and that the plaintiff hav-
ing entered into it in good faith, rely
ing upon the honor of the defendent,
submitted herself and future welfare
to the defendent."
Girl Was Virtuous.
81 do not believe that the testi-
mony in this case warrants the slight
est suspicion in this respect against
this girl the judge said, "and I do
not believe that there is the least sus-
picion that Theresa was other than
virtuous girl when she entered the
employ Of the defendant"

Viscount Grey of Fallodon, who was
secretary Of foreign affairs in the cab

There is more at stake in the war
than the existence of individual states
or empires or the fate of continent"

whether it will perish and be sub

civilizations of older types, or whether
it will live and progress, depends upon

WAR WITH
TURKEY IS
. IMMINENT
Attack by Ottoman Troops on
U. S. Consulate and lootlng
of American Hospital
Last Straw.

Washington, June 19.-An
attack by Turkish troops on
the American consulate at Ia
briz, Persia, and the looting of
an American missionary hospl-
tai in that city, reported to the
State department today, were
believed in some quarters here
to presage the long anticipated
declaration of the existence OF
a state of war between the
United States and the Ottoman
empire.
Diplomatic relations between the
two governments have been suspend
ed since April 20, 1917, when Turkey
withdrew Abdul Hak Hussien Bey,
who had been acting as charge OF the
Turkish embassy here since the com
pulsorv retirement of the regular am
bassador, which followed his open
criticism of the United States govern
ment. Necessarily American Ambas-
sador Morgenthau was obliged to
leave Constantinople and since that
time the relations between the two
governments have been just short OF
actual formal enmity.
No Actual Collision.
Recently there have been vigorous
demands in congress for declaration
of state of war between the United
States and Turkey and Bulgaria, but
President Wilson and the State de-
partment have not regarded this step
as necessary or desirable since there
has been no actual collision between
American and Turkish and Bulgarian
troops.
On. the face Of the reports from
American Minister Caldwell, at Te-
leran, officials were inclined to be-
lieve that the sacking of the Ameri.
can hospital, Presbyterian institu-
ton, over the protest of the Spanish
consul in charge as representative OF
American interests, furnished the nee
essary provocation for open hostili-
lies between America and Turkey.
The advices, however, were meager
and the minister explained that he
was only transmitting reports of mat
ters not of his own knowledge. In
view of this it was realized that later
reports might show that the offenses
were not as grave as now represent
ed.
Nurses Believed Safe.
American doctors and nurses who
have been stationed in the hospital
we're believed to have left 1abriz be-
fore the Turkish troops arrived. Cor
don Paddock, the American consul
in that city, reported to the depart
ment last May %, that he and all of
the Americans and the British were
prepared to leave the city before the
advancing Turkish army, consequent
ly it was not believed that Americans
actually were molested.
{ = The department is trying to get
further information regarding the out
! RACES and probably no action will be
taken until these efforts are exhaust
ed.
