Bonar Law Announces View of Su-
prcmc War Council In Address
Before Parliament
AUSTRIANS FAIL OF GOAL
After Three Days of Fighting OBJ
jecives OF First Day Have Not
Been Attained.
NEW SHIPS SURPASS LOSSES
CONSTRUCTION Now Passes Point Of
Neutrality-suspicious. Not
Coming--Arc In War.

LONDON. June 1S.--"After three
days OF attack the Austrian offensive
has not secured the objectives hoped
for on the first day" said Andrew
today. He added that there was
reason to believe that the initiative
for the Austrian offensive had come
from Berlin.
Mr., Bonar Law read extracts from
the minutes of the last supreme war
council which was held at Versailles
They stated that, thanks to the
prompt and cordial cooperation OF
America, it would be impossible for
the enemy to gain a victory by wear
ing down the allied reserves before
exhausting his own.
Mr.. Bonar Law said that the pres
ent vote which would bring the total
war credits to 7,342,000, 900 pounds
would cover expenditures until the
end Of August.
Debt Due Frpm Allies.
The debt due Great Britain from
her allies is TO, 900. 900 pounds, Mr..
Bonar Law said, wbile'the domlnions
o''e 100000.
The chancellor said that Amer
lean troops were pouring into France
and had reached n figure which a
few months ago would have been
thought impossible. American mill
tary cooperation. he continued,
would not be limited by the lack of
transports.
On the western front after three
months of fighting, said Mr.. Bonar
Law, although the allies have had
to give much ground, not one OF the
enemys strategic points had been
attained.
Losses Now Exceeded.
The shipping figures, which will
be published this week. he said,
would show that the world ship con-
struction for the first time since the
German submarine warfare began. Is
exceeding the destruction of ships
by U-boats
Discussing the Austrian offensive.
Mr.. Bonar Law said that the Italian
high command has no fear of the
results,
The danger is not yet over" he
said, but the government can ex-
press Its admiration .and gratitude
to the Italians for the share they
have taken in the terrible struggle" +"
Mr.. Bonar Law added that the re-
suits which had been attained justi-
fled the changes which were made
leading to unity Of command of the
allied forces. He said 1t was a part
or the German scheme to use up the
allied reserves before the arrival of
American troops.
This has failed" he said. Amer
lea Is not coming into the war, but
Is in the war"

BREWERIES WILL FORM
POOL FOR COAL SAVING
Plan Expected TO Reduce Use of

CONSUMPTION,

WASHINGTON. June 1s--Pooling
OF the manufacture of beer as a
means OF reducing the amount Of
coal consumed by breweries to at
least so per cent of normal was con-
sidered at conference here today
OF representatives of the brewing
industry and the fuel and food ad-
ministrations. This plan, which has
been worked out to certain ex-
tent in parts of Pennsylvania, would
allow the shutting down completely
of number of plants in a given
locality. With approximately one

would result in the closing Of several
hundred.
The question of manufacture of
near beer was taken up and the
