GERMANY UNDER THUMB
OF Won HINDENBURG
international News service.)

London, June 17.-Reports of grave
riots in Vienna have resulted in an un-
precedented shrinkage of the value OF
the Austrian crown on the Dutch
bourse. said an Amsterdam dispatch TO
the Express today.
Dutch bankers also have reports or
serious trouble brewing between Vi
cnna and Berlin, as Austria wishes an
immediate statement of peace terms as
the only step conductive to negotla-
tions. Germany is now under the
thumb of Won Hindenburg, who wishes
, TO await the result of the western Of
fensive in hope of forcing harsher
terms, it was stated.
II is now understood that the recent
visit of Baron Burian, the Austrian
foreign minister, to Berlin, was mostly
devoted to the peace aims problem. The
shortness of the trip indicated that he
found the Germans obedient to Hin
denburgs voice.
The political crisis in the dual mon
1rchv continues The Polish party,
having a majority. is said to have COM
pelled Premier Won Seydler to hand in
his resignation again. If the emperor
does not accept it the Austrian govern
ment will have to refrain from assem-
bling parliament. The position of the
government is seriously menaced. as
it is difficult to find new premier
sanctioned by Germany.

HONORABLE PEACE"
.. OFFERED TO ITALY
Premier Orlando Tells of Gen.
trail Powers Terms-Slavs
Disaffected.
international News Service.)

Washington, June 1.-THE central
powers recently offered Italy an hon
orable peace" which was refused, Pre-
mier Orlando informed the Italian
chamber of deputies, according to an
official dispatch today from Rome. At
the same time he gave detailed infor-
nation of the solidarity of Italy with
the oppressed nationalities of Austria.
The premier stated the Szech- -Slovak
battalions are already fighting with the
italian soldiers at the front and that
the Rumanian Jugo- Slavs are begging
to be allowed to join Italy against the
common enemy.
Today's dispatches from Rome also
indicate that all is not serene between
Germany and Austria, and that the Of
fensive Austria has undertaken against
Italy is apparently for the purpose of
obtaining something from the Italians
while Germany is raiding France. This
Is borne out in a statement found on
Austrian officers captured by the Ital-
ians which says:
THE Austrian monarchy is now en-
ploying all its forces and resources
against one common enemy. The en-
tire Italian front is to be attacked The
war in France is developing into
movement which will lead to the oc-
cupation Of a land rich in food and
resources. For this reason we must
advance against Verona"

CONVINCED U-B0AT
RAID WAS MERE BLUFF
Navy Department Believes Mil
itary Damage Was Not
Primary Object.
international News Service.

Washington, June 17.-Navy depart
ment officials this afternoon were more
firmly convinced than ever that the
German submarines operating this side
of the Atlantic have been sent over in
an attempt to frighten the American
people, rather than for the military
damage they might do. Coincident
with the appearance of the submersi-
bles off the American coast it became
known this afternoon, reports of the
sinking of troop ships began to be
given wide circulation. These rumors
all could be traced to German sources,
in the opinion of officials, and that they
were circulated simultaneously with
the appearance of the kaser's sub
mersibles is considered significant.
The navy department this afternoon
announced that it had investigated a
report that troop ship bringing 1000
West Virginia soldiers had been tor
pedoed just as she was leaving for
France. The rumor was so persistent
that it is said even to have found its
way into print, but, like all others of
that nature, was without the slightest
foundation.
The further fact that the submarines
have contented themselves with at
tacking small vessels and have kept
away from the lanes traversed by those
strongly guarded and conveyed has
served to convince navy men that they
are here only in an effort to frighten
Americans to the extent that troop
shipments might be slowed up, and
that they will keep shy of the lanes
through which these troop ships pass.

SUBMARINES PREYING
ON UNPROTECTED CRAFT
(Associated Press.)

Washington, June 17.-Apparently
avoiding the lines of conveyed fotil-
las bound overseas, German subma-
rines which began operations in
American waters, May rs, are con-
tinuing their attacks on unprotected
prey. Their latest victims were un-
armed sailing craft. the Norwegian
Kringsjaa and the Samoa, which were
sent down some ninety miles off the
Virginia coast. Details of the sinking
of the Kringsjaa still were awaited
today at the navy department. First
Information that this vessel had been
destroyed came in a brief radio dis
patch late last night from an Ameri-
can warship which had picked up all
the survivors. Twenty vessels-eleven
sailing craft and nine steamers-are
now known to have been sunk by the
raiders. Six of these were Norwe-
gian, one British and the remainder
American.

Travelling Land Forts Advance
Ahead of Infantry, Demol-
ishing German Positions
WITH FRONTAL BARRAGE
Troops and Tanks Gross Boche
Line in Less Than Two Hours
Despite Desperate Defense.
(By Gordon Knox)
international News Service.)

With the French Army, June IT,
Tanks paved the way for French VIC
tory in the Merry Belloy wood sector oil
the Montdidier- Disc front. The story
of how these travelling land forts de-
molished German positions as they
rolled forward was told when l visited
tank headquarters after the fighting.
In the Merry zone tanks advanced
ahead of the infantry, firing a frontal
barrage while artillery concentrated
upon the flank positions. AS the mon
sters advanced in close formation
through Merry and beyond. the deadly
destruction wrought by the guns could
be seen. Heaps of dead could be seen.
The tanks achieved their objective,
wiping out nests of machine guns pow
erful enough to stop any infantry at
tack. An officer thus described the
fighting:
"As the German positions were un-
masked we silenced their batteries with
our heavier guns and moved down the
gunners as they ran to cover. The
enemy was gritty, but we were toe
much for them. Our infantry was then
able to advance the next day with a
small detachment of tanks. In this
further advance 200 prisoners, includ-
ing a battalion commander, were cap
tured. The German officer was asked
what he thought of the tanks and he
replied: "They are supermen."
At Belloy the tanks and troops
crossed the boche line in less
than two hours after they had been
sent out from their positions of de-
parture, despite the fact that the wood
was desperately defended. The mere
appearance of a tank battery was
enough to make the enemy evacuate his
positions. The stories of the operations
reveal that veritable fleets were in use.
Tanks moving in the direction of st.
Maur advanced to point 400 yards
from the village while the infantry con-
solidated behind them.
1t was a heroic walkover for the
tanks.
my own machine was unavailable at
the moment, but | borrowed another"
said one officer. "A shell hit sone car
and there was nothing to do but desert.
Another car stood by, just like a ship
at sea, and took off the crew of the
disabled tank amidst a howl CT rife
and machine gun bullets"

PREPARING FOR MORE
PRISONERS AT STOCKADE

Renewed building activity in the
German prison camp is a prelude to
the coming of 1000 new German pris-
oners to be transferred from Hot
Springs, N. c., to Oglethorpe.
The space north of the present can
tonments is piled with lumber and
clatters with workmen. The buildings
planned are large two story houses ca
pable of housing several hundred pris-
oners each. A number of the prisoners
are being used on the job.
1t is probable that this work may
have had it's effect on the epidemic of
attempted escapes in the prison camp.
The big piles of lumber scattered over
the yard would form admirable stalk
ing posts for Jail delivery.
