Germans Try to Deceive
Italians With False Story

Washington, May 3l.-A new Ger
man propaganda designed to destroy
the Italian peoples confidence in the
United States was disclosed today in
official dispatches saying thousands Of
copies of German newspapers had
been distributed in Italy carrying a
story that the recent message OF
President Wilson to Italy was ad-
dressed in fact to France and that
the Italian government substituted
the words "Italy" and italian"
As an explanation of the propa-
ganda, officials today suggested that

ALMOST PURELY
INFANTRY Fight
Allies Fall Back Slowly as
Fresh German Divisions At
tack; Thrust South of

(By Associated Press.)

With the French Army in France,
May 3l.-Fighting has been begun on
a new sector of the battle line in the
region of the Ailette river between
the Aisne front and the front of the
German attack in March.
The fan-like formation of the enemy
movement was pushed out on the
sdies and in the center yesterday, COW
ering more territory. The allies are
falling back slowly before enormously
greater numbers.
Fresh Divisions in Attack.
Aviators report activity along the
rear of the German advanced forces,
as fresh enemy divisions are hurried
forward to take the place of exhausted
units.
In the central part of the battle
front the enemy, finding that before
him were only tired troops which had
fought day and night since Monday,
was able to make another leap for
ward toward the Marne by penetrating
the thin allied line with small bodies
of selected men armed with light ma
chine guns.
The battle has now developed al
most purely into an infantry fight.
The artillery in action appears to be
only of about the same amount as is
usual on quiet sector.
Halted at scissors.
South of Scissors the enemy at
tempted renewal of his push, but
came in contact with French troops,
which thrust failed notwithstanding
his use of numerous tanks. The

EXTEND BATTLEFRONT.
Yesterday the French were driven
back TO a line from Noyon to Sois-
sons.
"A new development is the German
attempt to extend their attacks to the
east of Rheims, where they were re-
ported to be attacking last night, but
no further details have yet been re-
ceived. d
"The situation is very anxious one,
not ouly because the Germans have
made such rapid progress-an ad-
vance of 26 miles in four days-but
also because they still have such large
reserves available to be thrown into
the battle at any point.
Crown Prince Uses Up Reserves.
"Our transport of reserves has
worked very we'll and there is reason
to hope that the Germans will not
make any further progress, although
the situation must remain anxious as
long as they have plenty of reserves.
The immediate future depends on what
course the enemy takes. The crown
prince has used up virtually all his
own reserves and some from the army
groups to the eastward, but the great
bulk of the German reserves are to
the north.
"The attack during the past week
has not been so serious as other at
tacks at other points in the allied
line because we have more room for
maneuver and can better afford to fall
back. Another thing that must al
ways be considered is that the Ger
mans are rapidly using up their ef-
fectives. Thus far they have en-
ployed probably As divisions in the
present attack.
German Plan Secret.
"The question has been much dis
cussed in the past few days whether
this German attack was a surprise to
the allies. It cannot be called a
complete surprise because of the fact
that enemy concentrations in the
Laon area were known, but until
day or two before the battle we had
no indication that any attack on a
big scale was intended. The Ger
mans deserve full credit for maintain
ing secrecy of their plans. The main
masses of men we're brought up to
the actual front lines only on the
night before the attack, which was
preceded by only two hours of bonn
bardment for the purpose of cutting
wire entanglements. The Germans
are not making the same use of artil-
lery as therefore,.
rs this the enemy's main attack?
"He probably did not know when
he initiated it whether it would prove
to be subsidiary or leading opera
ton. 1t must be remembered that the
enemy has three great geographical
objectives as means toward his great
separation of the allied armies by an
attack through Amiens, and an at
tack on Paris.
"In the present operations he is do
ing all possible to develop his initial
success by attacks both on the center
and on the flanks of the salient. He
has achieved considerable success in
the center, hss on the flanks the
French are holding we'll on the
heights west of scissors and the Brit
ish are similarly fighting hard on the
heights around Rheims"

(By Associated Press.

London, May 31.-Riots and
internal disorders of all kinds
are increasing in Bohemia. A
Vienna newspaper says that
what is happening today in
Bohemia resembles the Lom-
bardi and Venetian uprisings in
184S, except that today the
empire is hampered by its en-
gagements in a war from
which it does not see a way to
escape.
At Chozen crowds, dispersed by po-
lice brutally, set fire to the barracks
and to the city hall, where the
mounted police were lodged. Eight
Of the officers were burned to death.
At Kolin the people pulled down the
Austrian flag and raised the Bohem-
ian flag. Public buildings have been
burned at Tabor and other towns III
Bohemia and in Olmutz, Moravia. At

newspapers, the Zeitung and Neueste

Under German Domination.
Washington, May 31.-Complete
subjugation of Austria-Hungary to
German domination and the elimina-
ton of any hope for even semi-inde-
pendence that may have been enter
tanned by the Czechs, Jugo-Slavs and
other anti-German elements in the
dual monarchy is seen here as the
certain result of the new military
treaty between Germany and Austria
Hungary.
The State department has just re-
ceived what is believed to be the text
of this remarkable d, announcement
which confirms the general statements
of its provisions already announced in
the press. Among other things it
shows that if there ever was COM
mon ground upon which the United
States might have desired peace with
Austria it has disappeared along with
what liberty of action had been left
to the dual monarchy by its ally.
In this treaty as officials here
interpret it, Austria-Hungary surren-
ders to Germany, not only for the pres
ent, but for the future as well, the
complete control of its military estab-
Iishment, in time of peace as we'll as
in war. This carries with it the right
to organize the Austrian army even
to its personnel, which means that
the Germans viii hold to military
service under its own commanders, if
necessary, every fit Slav, Czech,
Italian, Pole and Roumanian compris-
ing the population of the Austro-
Hungarian empire. 1t follows that
there can be no political independence
of these people.

Occupation Of Chateau Thierry
Thought to Mark Beginning
Of Turning Movement To-

(By Associated Press. J


Plunging southwark with It's
momentum still unspent, the
German war machine has driv-
en- its wedge into the allied
lines along the front until its
apex has reached the Marne
river south of Fere-en-Tardo-
nois.
The desperate efforts Of the
French and British to stem the
tide against the invaders have
served only to slow down the
rate Of speed of the German
advance; the defenders of the
heights north of the Marne
seem to have been swept aside
in the rush of the enemy toward
the road to Paris.
LAUNCH NEW ATTACK.
+ Aside from the movement OF the
German armies southwark, two other
significant incidents of the tremendous
battle have occurred. One is that the
Germans have extended their attack
to the northwest along the Aiiette
river, from which the French have
fallen back for some distance. The
other is that the battle has ex nded
to the east of Rheims, which city,
during the first few days of the battle,
formed the extreme eastern end of the
line of battle.
Along the sides Of the salient
formed by the rapid German advance
to the Marne, the French and British
have been holding their positions gal
lantly. South of scissors the French
have defended their line with such
vigor that the Germans have not
made much impression upon it. On
the other side of the battle area, the
British are still holding the forts of
Rheims and positions just west Of
that war stricken city.
Paris Turning Movement Foreseen.
Between the extreme sides of the
salient the front sags toward the
south, the line from Rheims to the
Marne running to the southwest at 1
gentle angle, while the French are
holding a front at right angles to the
direction of the German advance.

marks the beginning of the expected
turning movement toward Paris.
which the Germans were believed to
have planned. If the town has been
taken in its entirety the Germans may
be expected to move down the Marne.
General Foch, commander r-in-chief
OF the allied forces, has not as yet
brought his reserves into action. All
reports from the field of battle tell of
the allied forces being vastly outnum-
bered.

LIGHT FLARE.

The German airmen, working part
1y in the light of the moon, dropped
four bombs near the hospital and
then, apparently not able to see ex-
actly where they were hitting, lighted
a brilliant flare to illuminate the sur-
roundings. AS the place was lighted
up by this flare they released arother
bomb or two which dropped squarely
on a large wing of the hospital.
Part of the wing was demolished
and many persons, were killed and
wounded when the building collapsed
and buried them. The demolished
wing caught fire and burned fercely
with many victims still pinned in the
wreckage. Nothing more awful has
occurred in the annals of the hospital
service since the war began.

Shoes Worn In Early Days..

High-heeled boots were worn by
ladies for three parts Of the eighteenth
century. They raised their fair wear
ers some inches, rendering walking
difficult and running impossible.
But these fashions were confined to
the rich. The poor wore shoes Of
wood. reeds and untanned leather.
The Highlander made brogans out Of
untanned deer hide, and the southern
nations wore cloth sandals and slip
