According to federal officers, papers

1t appears Austro-Hungarian forces,
the dispatch says, are counting upon
the success of the German drive in
France to discourage the Italians be-
fore starting their offensive.
New divisions are being brought
daily from Roumania to the Italian
front. Artillery duels are growing in
intensity all along the mountainous
sections of the front and at Val Lavar-
ina, Giudicaria and Astico, the Aus
TRANS have many new pieces of heavy
artillery.
Great movements of the Austro-
Hungarian troops are being reported
by the Italian aviators in Val Sugana,
where every effort apparently is be-
ing made to break through the noun
famous zone of the Italian front.

FEE AGENTS RUSH
TO GET LEN|ENCY
Department of Justice
Swamped with Appeals
to Be Let Off.
CONTRACT CRAFT
PROBE RESULT
Iey Leased Wire to New MexIoan.)

(By Leased Wire to New Mexlcan.)
Washington, June 1S.-Many self
acknowledged fee agents appeared to-
day at the department Of justice TO
explain their operations and to ask
leniency in any action the depart
ment may take to break up the e.
posed system Of d~efrauding contrac-
tors and the government out of mil
lions of dollars.
Many OF these agents heretofore
have been unknown to the depart
ment and the fact promoted the I'M
preston that the system OF making
sums out OF war orders is even more
extensive than officials had believed.
Hundreds of letters, kilograms n
personal calls came to Attorney Gen.
eral Gregory and Assistant Attorney
General Houston Thompson, in direct
charge of the campaign against the
contingent fee system inquiring con-
corning the legal statutes OF congress
already made or the legality OF main
tanning representatives in Washing
ton. Some admitted they had sub
let contracts not knowing that this
was a violation of the law. Although
no formal statement of policy was
made by the department OF Justice
officials intimated that leniency
would be shown in all cases where
it was apparent that the contractor
or the commission agent neither pre-
tended to use nor actually did en-
ploy n sinister methods in obtain
ing orders.
A group of lawyers, working today
on the mass Of reports on raids made
on manufacturers offices found con-
siderable new evidence Of improper,
if not illegal practices in connection
with the soliciting of government
war contracts. In many cases, 1t Is
understood, contractors have written
to army officials who formerly held
positions with them or with allied
concerns, asking them to use their
influence in getting contracts.
One Washington firm Of contingent
fee agents negotiated $~10,00O,OOO
worth of contracts for its clients, it
was disclosed today by examination
of the firms papers seized by secret
service agents.
Another firm. maintaining business

Of these fees were paid in installments

pers examined today we're scores OF
kilograms in code. These when de-
ciphered disclosed references to gov
ernment employees and others whom

these messages.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Sacking
Of the American hospital at Tabrlz,
Persia, and seizure of the American
and British consulates there by In
vading Turkish troops was reported
to the state department today by the
American minister at Teheran.
II the report as II reached the min
lister is officially confirmed, the out
RACES may be considered an act of
war and settle the long. pending ques-
ton of whether the Ottoman allies
OF Germany should be formally list
ed among Americana enemies.
According to today's dispatch the
Turks sacked the hospital over the
protest of the Spanish consul in
charge as representative of American
interests and in defiance of the Span
ish flag flying over the building.
The hospital at Tabrlz is a Pres
byterian missionary institution and
established several years ago. Many
American nurses have been stationed
there but for several months the sit
uation has been so serious that the
force has been greatly reduced and
a few days ago it was reported to
the state department that the last
American had gone. There have been
vigorous demands in congress from
time to time for declarations of q
state Of war between the United
States and Turkey and Bulgaria
President Wilson and the state de
partment, however, have not regard
ed this step as necessary or desir
able.

Standing firmly before the

the Austrians have been defeated at
most points in efforts to enlarge

ers of the federation said:
I'VE ask you to take home to your

ter of freedom, justice and democracy

Nearly 100000 strong we are

gates listened with attention as Sec
rotary Wilson detailed the gradual in
crease in wage and improved working
conditions in the last 80 years, which
came, he said as a result of persistent
intelligent action by the trade union
lists.
After declaring that the American
government was forced to enter the
war because Germany was threaten
ing the destiny of this country, the
speaker asserted that American work
men were vitality affected.
Even though some people did con-
tend and perhaps some still do that
passengers should not have been per-
lnitted on vessels entering the war
zone, how about the worker he asked.
81 maintain that the sailor on the
deck, the steward, the ENGINEER, stolI-
er and coal passer were just as much
entitled to protection of this govern
ment as many millionaires who took
passage on vessels"
Mr.. Wilson then pointed to many
reforms brought about in the inter-
ests Of labor as a result Of united
action which include factory inspec-
ton, mining inspection and limitation
of hours of employment for women.
Secretary Wilson predicted that
great sacrifices would have to be
made before the war is brought to a
successful conclusion standards of
living may have to be lowered" he
said, 'but unions will make the neces-
sary sacrifice without complaint and
lay the foundation for future stand
