ALL IS AT STAKE

The fate of Austria depends on the
offensive her troops are now conduct
ing against the Italian armies.
The condition in the dual monarchy
is similar to that in Germany. As
Emperor William has staked every
thing on his drive for Paris and the
channel, so Emperor Carl has thrown
the future Of his empire and his dyn-
asty> into the balance in drive
through the plains. Of northern Italy.
r. he wins, the victory will do much
to popularize the war in Austria Hun
gary and solidify the fast disintegrat-
ing nation.
It he loses. the internal crisis in
Austria will reach a climax which may
bring about revolution and cost Carl
his throne.
On the 10O-mile front from the La
grina valley to the Adriatic Sea the
Austrian feli marshal. Conrad Won
Hoetzendorf, threw sixty divisions, or
100000 men, into the attack.
For three days the battle has waged
with an intensity that has had no
precedent on this front. At every part
of the Italian line attacked, however,
the Italian armies have held back the
invaders with a splendid resistance
ana completely broken up the drive.
The brilliant defensive>battle fought
by the italians in the first three days
of the attack has won them the ad-
of all their allies. They not
only flung back the Teuton's attacks

READY FOR ANGELUS
Bells in Washington Will Toll First
Time at Noon Sunday, When City
Will Bow in Prayer.

Washington, June 21.-Washington
today awaits the hour when for the
first time as community the Ma
tional Capital will bow in prayer for
victory and peace.
The citizens committee to bring
about the observance of daily ange-
lus met again last night and the sub
committees reported that throughout
the city every church, every religious
organization and every school where
a bell tolls, will be glad to cooperate
as a part of a joyful duty.
Therefore at noon on Sunday, when
sermons are being delivered from the
pulpits of the city, the first call to
prayer will be sounded, the preachers
will suspend their talks for minute
to send an earnest prayer to heaven
for victory and peace, and thereafter
ever day in Washington will be mark
ed by the tolling of the prayer bells
at noon-from now until we have
accomplished that victory which the
allied forces are fighting for against
German barbarism.

LETTER TO THE KAISER


The Philadelphia Record prints the
following letter to his majesty, the
emperor Of Germany:
Exalted Sir: Replying to yours OF
recent date, dictated to Karl Rosner,
we hasten to assure you of our earn
est desire 20 cooperate in the further
ance of your expressed determination,
as set forth in these noble lines:
"When the enemy is beaten we must
care for him with all the power and
mans given us. We Ger
mans will preserve our conception o.
Christian duty toward the i'll and
wounded.
"While waging war we will also
treat those wounded in battle so that
when this terrible business is over and
men again extend their fland to one
another we may be able to recall with
a clear conscience and without re-
morse every day and every act OF
these hard times"
Realizing, All-Highest, that with
the many and varied activities now 50
engrossing your mind you may not
he able easily to recall "every day
and every act Of these hard times"
(which rest so lightly and without re-
morse upon your clear conscience, IL
occurs to US that it might be helptll>
to YOU if we were to make a little
catalogue Of some of them.
There's Belgium, Most Humane Po-
tentate! You will not forget with
what generous designs you approach
cd that misguided kingdom, at the
very outset of these hard times. The
tears pouring from the eyes of your
kind-hearted soldiers, you must re-
member, SO muddied the roads as to
delay temporarily the passage of your
conouering cannon. Recall. too, how
the shameless women, vicious chill
dren and tigerish old men forced
themselves, upon yopr troops,Lto pc
outraged, MANNED, carried ipto slaV-
cry and killed.
Pass now to the Lusitania, the
'.munition ship" upon which the fen
dish enemy crowded SO many non
combatants, even little children who
sank into the waves crying for their
mammas. Glory upon glory!
Recall the great Zeppelins, first to
carry to the undeservInG women and
children of London that great peace
from which there is no awakening.
Recall the destruction Of those hun
dreds of cathedrals and minor tenn
pies unblessel by the favor of Unser
Altes Dcutsche Gott.
Recall, too, the kindly attention
paid by your fearless aviators to the
lazy doctors and nurses in the Red
Cross hospitals behind the lines, fur
nishing them with much work to keep
their idle hands from mischief.
Recall those worthless, nnregen-
crate prisoners whom, by crucifyins
upon barn doors, you permitted to
follow in the footsteps Of the First
Christian.
Recall, too, the wholesale emulation
0. your example in the land of the
Armenians, by the godly Turk, your
ally.
Recall your wonderful contribution
to the science of anesthesia, the gas
she'll
These All Highest, are but few
of the glories of your war-making.
There are many others. And in con-
clusion, we echo the recent pious wish
of your cwE Hindenburg: "May you
live long to ponder upon these things"

Airplane Flight Across Atlantic

Washington. June 21.-A flight
across the Atlantic may be attempted

It became known today at the War

and now, it is understood, the British
are considering the feasibility of at
tempting it in one CT theirs.

workman and employer are cooper

proportion-but they are being
quickly settled.
"More and more each day both
sides are realizing the necessity of
harmony and team work; mutual
good feeling between employed and
employer is therefore rapidly taking
