aador, called on Secretary Baker to-
day and, while no statement was
made, it is understood that the re-
Gently announced decision Of the war
department to send American troops
to Italy was discussed.
Leaders of all the allied govern
ments as we'll as officials here have
felt that no better way Of demon
strating to, the world that the ma
tions at, war with Germany and Aus
tria have been solidified into single
force with a single purpose could be
desired than to. have each nation
represented in the armies on each
front. Necessarily, however, the e1-
tent of the participation Of any coun-
try on any front must be governed
by questions Of transportation ana
supply.
italian troops are in France, form
ing a part Of the international re-
serves at Gen. Foch's disposal, While
French and British armies now are
aiding in stemIning the Austrian
drive. There is nothing to indicate
that 1t Is proposed to send to Italy
an American force that would be in
itself a, very important military fac
tor on front where men by the mill
lions are engaged, but, on the other
hand, it will be sufficient to make it
obvious both to the italian army and
people that the United States is in
the war with its whole heart and pre-
pared to go to any extreme to achieve
the common victory.

Not Opposed to
Extending Draft

Washington, June 19.-should
Congress decide that it is necessary
at this time to extend the draft age
limits either below 81 or above 30
years, or both, no opposition will be
offered by the war department.
In authorizing this statement to-
day, Secretary Baker said the de-
partment could see no immediate
need for such action, although the
date already is in sight when it VIII
become necessary to replenish the
class reservoir.
The present tentative schedule OF
the war department is said to con-
template the arning OF 100000 men
by next January 1. That would mean
the calling OF 100000 men between
July and January, and the absorb
ing, not only Of the men remaining
in class / from the first registration,
but those placed In that class under
the recent registration as well as
some 200, 900 expected to be put in
that class as the result OF the re-
classification recently ordered.
All previous estimates Of the de-
partment relating TO man power
have been based solely upon the
men In class j; General CrowdeF
stating specifically ia his report on
the first draft that 1T would be The
policy OF his department TO refrain
from touching the other classes.

SPANISH CONSUL
ENTERS PROTEST
Outrage May Be Consider
ed An Act Of War By
Washington
(Ry Associated Press.l

Washington, June 19.--Sacking Of
the American hospital at T abriz
Persia and seizure Of American and
British consulates there by invad-
ing Turkish troops was reported to
the state department today by the
American minister at Teheran.
According to todays dispatch the
Turks sacked the hospital over the
protest OF the Spanish consul in
charge as representative Of Ameri-
can Interests and in defiance Of the
Spanish flag, flying over the build
ing.
If the report as it reached the
minister is officially confirmed, the
outIages may be considered an act
OF war and settle the long pending
question Of whether the Ottoman
allies Of Germany should be form
ally listed among Americas enemies.
The hospital at Tabrtz is a Pres
byter1an missionary institution, es-
tablfshed several years ago. For
several months the situation has
been 80 Bsfious that the force has
been greatly reduced and q. few days
ago 1T was reported to the state de-
partanent that the last American had
gone. t.-
There have been vigorous de-
nands in congress for declarations
for a state Of war between the Uni
ted States and Bulgaria, President
Wilson and the state department,
however, have not regarded this step
as necessary or desirable. since
these allies Of Germany SO far have
not been brought into actual con-
flict with Americans.
New York, June 19.-OficiaIg Of
the Presbyterian board Of foreign
missions here today identified the
American hospital sacked by Turk
ish troops at Tabrdz Persia as
the Cotton. Memorial hospital, which
was endowed by Philadelphia fam
lily by that name and established
several years ago through the Pres
byterian board.

The French Rouors

last night after violent preparstorv
bombardment began an attack 81,
the Rheims front between Vrigny
and La PompeIle, the war once sn-
nounced today. The French are
resisting the German blow with en-
tire success.
On the western front of the attack
the enemy was not able even 10
reach the French line. In the cen-
ter, before the city, the Germans
were completely repulsed and suf-
1ered heavy losses. East OF Rheims
the French were equally successful.
The statement follows:
Last night at 6 o'clock the Csers
mans delivered a violent prspara-
tory artillery fire along the whole
front Of Rheims from the region 81
Vrigny west of City, as far IS
LaPompeIIe.
At 9 o'clock the enemy infantry
began an attack on the French
positions between these two points.
The French troops resisted the Ger
man attack with complete success
the counter barrage of the French
artillery proving very strong.
Between Yrigny and Ormes. Ger
man assault troops were stopped by
the French FIRE and forced to return
many times TO their lines OF de-
parture and we're not finally able To
reach the French position.

Standing firmly before the

five days after the offensive on
the Montdidier-Noyon line came

At 6 o'clock Tuesday evening
the German artillery began a

Vrigny, west of Rheims, to the
village Of La Pompelle, on the
north bank of the Vesle river,
east Of that city. Three hours
later the Teutonic infantry
stormed out of their trenches to
begin the assault. According to
the official statement issued at
Paris, the Germans were no

being repulsed with heavy
losses.
The front over which the new
attack was launched is approx
mately Il miles in length. 1t
has been expected that the Ger
mans would sooner or later at
tempt to straighten out their
lines in this region because the
close of the Aisne offensive left
the allies in favorable posi-
ton along the front from the
Marne east of Chateau Thierry
to the region north of ChaIons.
Having interior lines, they are
able to quickly concentrate their
forces on either side of the angle
having its apex at Rheims.
