No Danger Of Ice Famine;
Patrons Should Be Economical

1t has been rumorcd that there
is a possibility of an ice shortage
and a number have been under the
impression that the condition would
demand the shutting down of the
ice plant for day. w. NJ. Brown.
manager of the ice department Of
the Consumers Light and Power
Company, stated this morning that
while some delay in the regular
work had bem occasioned by a
breakdown of the machinery that
no serious trouble had resulted.
Under normal conditions the trou-
BILE would have occasioned no no
tice, but because of the present de-
mand for ice. due TO the unusually
hot weather, it has been difficult
to keep up with the supply. Tell
the people they need not worry
about an ice famine or even a short
age" said Mr.. Brown. I'VE will
continue to deliver all calls for ice
and are taking care OF our custo-
mers in the usual manner. Some
limit has been made to out-of-town
customers, but the city requirements
will all be met. Ice consumers
should be economical, however.
and wrapping of ice in newspapers
will effect a noticeable saving.

WAR THROUGH FIFTH WIN

TO REICHSTAG.

Paris, June 26-(Havas Agency.
Acknowledgment by Foreign Sec
retary Won Kuehlmann that Ger
many cannot be certain of winning
the war by force of arms, caused an
indescribable sensation in the reich

there was much CONSERVATION

WILD STORIES ARE
CIRCULATED BY HUN,
CLAIMING VICTORIES

An Atlantic Port, June 26.-The
"blockading" of the port OF New
York the "raiding' of Boston and
Atlantic City and the aerial bomb
ing OF American cities, "as far west
as St. Louis by German U-boats or
Gothas," is narrated in pamphlets
dropped by Hun aviators all along
the allied lines in France, according
to passengers aboard Frenrn
steamship which arrived here today.
The whole United States was rep
restenter as being terrorized by the
German air fighters and residents of
Brooklyn were reported to be living
in cellars fearful of raids, the pas
sengers declared.
Allied soldiers laughed at the
pamphlets, while French newspapers
reproduced them in comic supple
ments.

(Bv the Associated Press)
Italian Army Headquarters,
Tuesday, June 25.-Under the fire
of Italian machine guns and artil-
lery which were brought up rap
idly, the Austrian withdrawal across
the Piave river soon became a dis
orderly rout. 1t is estimated the
Austrian losses total more than
100000.
1t was notable sight as the Aus
trians fled under the deluge of Ital-
ian bullets and shells. The Huns
leaped into the river and grabbed
pieces of wood or anything that
would aid them; they tied them
selves to mules and horses. but
their efforts were in vain for as the
enemy troops reached the opposite
bank they were again caught by
the fire of Italian guns which for
some days had been trained accur-
ately on the eastern bank.
Was Big Killing.
On the Montello the slaughter
was terrific. Bodies of Austrian
troops were moved down almost in
their entirety. On the crossing at
Nervesa both banks of the river
were strewn with dead and dying,
while hundreds of bodies were car
ried down in the current to the sea.
AT one place the Associated Press
correspondent counted 800 bodies
while walking a distance of 800
yards. One regiment of covering
troops which originally was COM
posed of 1000 men had left to them
Monday but SS men to the COM
pany, and these were prisoners.
Along the lower Piave, the Aus
trians found themselves, if posi-
BILE, in worse position and sus-
tanned heavier losses.
A single episode shows how and
why the retreat began. On Satur-
day the Austrian command sent to
the 9lst Schuetzen brigade, com
posed of regiments numbers 81 and
81, with orders to widen the Aus
trian breach at Lampol and to do

The Sunday School and the War.

A nationwide campaign to estab-
lish a teacher training class in every
Sunday school in America is now be-
ing launched. The Sunday school is
one of Americas great resources and
as such must contribute its full share
toward the winning of the war. It
can do this best by helping maintain
the spiritual morale of the country,
and by preparing itself for the ire
mendous opportunity that will belong
to it in the reconstruction period af-
ter the war. Not only must our
people be taught the meaning of this
war, but they must also be trained
for the rebuilding of the world on a
Christian basis. Trained teachers are
necessary for this monumental task.
The teacher training drive is for this
purpose. The churches in this COM
munity and the state units in this
campaign. Further announcements
will be made in these columns.

What Lincoln Said About the Draft
Directors

You who do not like to be soldiers
do not like the law. This is natural;
nor does it imply want Of patriotism.
Nothing can be so just and necessary
as to make US like it, if it is disagree
able to US. We are prone, too, to find
false arguments with which to ex-
cuse ourselves for opposing such dis
agreeable things. In this case those
who desire the rebellion to succeed,
and others who seek reward in a diff
erent way, are very active in accom-
modating US with this class of argu-
ment.
Wherein is the peculiar hardship
now? Shall we shrink from the nee
essary means to maintain our free
government, which our forefathers
employed to establish it and our own
fathers have already employed once
to maintain it? Are we degenerate?
Has the manhood of America run
out?
