other cities. that its policy would

their families in reasonable COM
fort" insures radical wage advances

present arbitration, and probably to

ways in every large city of the

The board made 1t plain that 1t
would not consider the financial
condition of the companies in. fix
ing this wage. W. H. Taft, sitting
with Frank P. Walsh in the case,
pointing out that, IL the companies
were bankrupt and being operated
by a receiver, he would issue receiv-
er's certificates, which would be d
prior obligation against the prop
erty of the companies. with prefer
ence over all other Indebtedness to
pay the laborers.
Strikes Threatened.
W. l. Gurley of the Chicago sur

Testing Foes Strength.

Late official dispatches from
Rome received by the Italian EN-
bassy indicate that the allied line il
keenly alive to the possibility OF
scoring a general victory against
the demoralized Austrians and that
a series Of strength testing thrusts
are being put forth against the Aus
trian mountain positions.
After detailing the capture OF six
teen officers and 1907 men on a low
er sector OF the Piave front, a dis
patch states:
I'm the Tonale Zone our indomit-
able Alpine troops by a surprise ac-
tion took an enemy advance post
and made all occupants prisoners.
''On the Asiago plateau and on the
slopes OF the Monte di Talbella We
captured 102 prisoners.
''On the entire northw estern
front OF Monte Grapp& our troops.
by means of combined actions of
artillery which concentrated an in
tensive fire upon the enemy and of
infantry acting with remarkable
plan. inflicted upon the enemy seri-
Gus losses and achieved notable ad-
vantages of terrain. capturing seven
officers and S26 men as well as six
teen machine guns.
Air Forces Emcient.
Between the Sile and Piave
Rivers our marines extended our oc-
cupation and last night our air
forces carried on efficient bombing
expeditions. During the night of
June 1924 eleven enemy airships
were brought down"
Allied army officers stated yester-
day that the time appears propitious
for a general counter-offensive on the
Italian front. While it is recognized
that the Austrian leaders must be
given every opportunity 10 exhaust
their men by fruitless efforts to at
tempt to save the morale of their
men by sending them into action, the
belief grows that the moment has
come when the enemy could not
Withstand a general assault along the
entire line.

Of another blow from the German
armies. Officially it is regarded as
a Veiled announcement that whether
or not the Kaiser forces his troops
to continue on the aggressive the
allies are ready to start forward at
the same time. and are not afraid
Of the outcome.
Time Proposition for Attack.
Lloyd George, it is observed. said
the allied forces were equal to the
enemy and that the time to attack
was when the enemy was demor-
allied. The generalization existed
in the Germany army opposing Gen.
Haig before the Austrian defeat be-
cause of the failure of the German
thrusts to pierce the center and
south end Of the Western front.
The Won Kuelhmann speech, only
excerpts of which have been receiv-
ed here. is regarded as the, most
transparent splash of junkerism
that has yet Come out of Germany.
The section believed to have been
a BID for peace, and uttered for con-
sumption both at home and abroad,
follows:

PAGEANT ON FOURTH.
RAIN OR SUNSHINE
Arrangements for Housing Visitors
Do Not Permit Postponement.

Sunshine or rain, the Independence
Day pageant is TO be held on the
Mall, according to the decision OF
the committee on arrangements,
which met yesterday in the ONCE of
the chairman. John Barrett, Director
General of the Pan American Union.
Hitherto it has been understood
that il it rained on the Fourth the
pageant would he postponed until the
9Th. In view of the arrangements
for bringing to Washington foreign
soldiers and bands. special singers
and dancers OF various countries
from distant points housing them and
returning them without delay, it was
decided it was not wise to plan to
postpone the celebration.
All film agencies are to be given
full scope in taking pictures on that
Gay, that .the world may get the
benefit OF the remarkable spectacle.
Rain last evening forced the re-
hearsal of the ribbon dances sched-
uled TO be held on the Capitol steps
to be moved TO the Central Hign
School Final rebearsals OF the Gre
clan dances were also held there.

Foes Losses 200, 900.

EoN A<osscs <VVsoVVs
Paris. June 25.-Austrian losses total
10000 men, according to the SecoIo of
Milan. Certain enemy divisions lost
two-thirds Of their electives.
A dispatch to the Matin from Turin
says that the rout Of the Austrians is
complete and that the Piave has car
ried away many Austrian dead. Italian
cavalry, it is added have advanced
beyond the eastern bank of the river.
French newspapers continue to ac-
claim the Italian victory. Hope is ex-
pressed that General Diaz, profiting
by the Generalization of the enemy.
will not confne the fighting to local
actions, but will strike out boldly into
an offensive and transform the Aus
trian retreat to the Piave into a de-
cisive victory.
Several newspapers wonder whether
the Germans will rush help to the
Austrians by transferring forces from
the Western front. LHomme Libre
believes that such action is scarcely
probable, as Emperor William and
Won Hindenburg are convinced they
cannot obtain a decision except on the
front from Switzerland 10 the sea.
The Tribuna, praising the msgnii-
cent work done by the American Red
Cross. says
During the battle American ambu-
lances rushed to the first line and ,he
Americans picked up wounded in
spite Of the murderous fire, amid the
cheers OF the Italian infantry. At
tempts were made on the morning Of
the attack 10 persuade the Americans
to move outside the danger zone, but
they refused. saying they wanted TO
share both the risks and the glory Of
the Italian fighting men"

WATER STILL
MUCH WASTED,
SA1SGARLAND
Further Care Of All Needed,
Declares Superintendent
Of Department.

"A lot OF water is being wasted
yet--an awful lot"
Such was the emphatic declara-
tion yesterday of J. s. Garland, su-
perintendent OF the water depart
ment, and it was based upon the
record of daily consumption as turn
ed in to the head ONCE.
Some Of the large government
buildings have issued orders to their
employees cautioning them against
extravaganza in connection with
water usage" said superinten ndent
Garland, "but there's more yet to
be done, and they can do it IL they
take hold OF it in the right way.
This is a subject that is of vital
interest to the whole community.
and the people Of Washington should
pull together in saving water just
as they have in promoting the sale
Of war savings stamps and liberty
bonds. because. in a way. they all
operate in unison, and help win the
war. with the difference that it does
not cost anything to be saving the
water.
Ask Proprietor Aid.
property owners should take
more interest in the situation and
have careful examinations made by
janitors and plumbers with a view
of discovering leaks and having
them stopped. There's a tremend-
Gus amount of waste going on all
the time in that way.
True enough, these large build
ings are under the meter system.
and the city gets paid for all this
waste. but we're not hunting for
revenue so much as a desire to pro-
tect the city from any serious ca
lamity.
There are thousands and thou
sands of houses in Washington to-
day that have small leaks-so small.
in fact, that no attention is paid
to them. because the owners realize
that it would cost them more to hire
a plumber to fix the leaks than It
would to pay the extra cost for
wafer, 50 lhcy TURN d uedl car To
any notes of warning.
The only remedy in such cases
is for US to cut Off the supply of
water until the leaky fixtures are
repaired; but wherever a large
apartment house or public office
building is involved, such a course
would operate as a serious hard
ship on tenants who are not re-
sponsible for these conditions, and
we hesitate to take any such step.
The main sources Of waste in this
connection relate to public school
buildings, large hotels, business
houses. department stores, apartment
houses, large government buildings,
and the city's public lavstories.
Grent Rivers Begin Small
Great rivers are formed by small
beginnings. The springs supply the
rivulets; the rivulets feed the streams;
the streams the rivers and they all
unite in systematic drain. Just
the same as our supply of water
constantly is being tapped by waste
full methods.
Cool weather lately has operated
to some extent in keeping down the
consumption of water, according to
superintendent Garland, but he does
not think that is any reason why
citizens Of Washington should not
be on the alert all the time to guard
against gross wastefulness of water"
