A sausage maker in Turin, Italy,
accused of using beef meat in his
sausages was fined $333 and imprison-
ed for five days Beef in Italy is
very scarce and its sale strictly reg

did not have meat cards. The butcher
was also fined $40 and imprisoned

DWARF CIRCUS RIDER WON FAME
 BY NERVE AND PERSEVERANCE
Bagonghi's Ambition Fri umphed Over the Handi- cap of His Missha-
 pen Body.
A curious instance of the triumphs

A curious instance of the triumphs of inborn inclination over physical obstacles that are, seemingly, un- surmountable, is to be found in the wonderful riding act of Bagonghi, the dwarf, in the Barnum & Bailey circus which will be seen here June 21.
 Bagonghfs little body is freak Of nature that suggests the side show rather than the big show arena. Yet Bagonghi is a star rider who creates more laughter and applause than any other performer under the big top.
 Signor Bagonghi is an Italian dwarf, born in a circus wagon in Milan, 33 years ago. His father and mother were circus riders abroad but neither of them were dwarfs, and for several years they despaired of ever making a performer of their diminu- tive son.
 This midget equestrian made his first appearance in a circus ring in Florence, Italy, when he was 1 3 years of age. Unknown to his parents he had been practicing bareback riding for several months and one night when his fater appeared in the ring 10 QO pTlnClpdl IlulHS dCl, lhS bOy astonished the audience by leaping to the horses back behind the father and then sliding to the ground along the horses tail. The feat was up- roariously funny, and the success of the little dwarf was instantaneous. Other comical feats were performed and on the following night the little rider was engaged to do a principal act himself Victim of many mad mishaps because of his tiny size, Sig nor Baginghi immediately became the sensational circus act of Europe and his comical feats have since caused kings and queens to shake their sides with laughter.
 Signor Bagonghi made his first American appearance with the Bar mum & Bailey circus at Madison Square Garden in New York city, two years ago and he received an uproar- ious welcome, which has since beer repeated in every town that the Greatest Show in Earth has visited He has been proclaimed the "eques trian comic of the century" and hi appearance here will be awaited witt interest and anticipation.

SITUATION SERIOUS,
BUT ALLIES UNDAUNTED

London, June |.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the military situation Is very serious,
not only because the Germans advanced
twenty-eight miles in five days, but be-
cause they still have a large number
OF fresh reserves which they can throw
into the battle, according to the opn-
ion of a high authority today Until II
Is known where these reserves will be
used. the situation will remain anxious.
The transport OF British and French
reserves is working smoothly. and there
are now plenty to check the German ad-
vance with every hope Of holding the
enemy to little more progress. 1t was de-
clared.
Aside from the main German objec-
tive of crushing the Anglo-French ar
mics. the enemy has three objectives--
the Channel ports. separation Of the
British and French armies. and capture
Of Anniens and Paris. German re-
serves can now be used in one of these
1T Is impossible TO tell which. The re-
serves at the right and left Of the Crown
Princes army have not yet been touched.
II Is known.
Il is not fair to blame the Allied
command for the reverse. II was the
outcome of an inherently unfavorable
strategical situation. With a numeri
cally superior enemy the Allies cannot
have adequate reserves at all threatened
points. which would be the only method
of preventing initial German successes.

Paris, June /.
The enemys object in the present
battle is now becoming clear. Luden-
dorff, having failed in the Picardy
battle to cut off the British from the
French, is now making a desperate
effort to separate the French armies
on the north from those on the east.
incidentally, while threatening Paris
on the north through the valley of
the Disc. fifty miles from the capital
where the Germans drive in March
was stopped, and from the east by
this new drive. Ludendorff is endeav-
oring to pin down substantial forces
which would obviously be required to
cover the capital.
The Germans immediate objective is
evidently the great main line railroad
which runs from Paris to Nancy, well
to the south of the valley of the Marine.
The enemy advance has reached the
Marine. along which runs another i'm
portant line direct from Paris through
Meaux, chateau Thierry and Epernay
to the important military centre Of
Chalons.
