WASHINGTON, June 17.-A diplo-

scribes an interesting scene in the
German Reishctag last Saturday. 1t
says:
violent speech, which caused a great
uproar in the assembly. AL that is go
ing on in occupied Russian territories,
he said, is in contradiction to the
resolution of the Reichstag of July 19,
but, nevertheless, the so-called liberal
majority is not protesting.
"Cohn then described the treatment
inflicted by the military authorities on
the population of the Baltic provinces.
Russian doctors are prevented from
returning to their countries, contrary
to international rule; the territories
occupied are completely devastated;
without trial by German troops !;
Ukraine and Finland have been still
worse treated.
"'The future will tell u.s. ne con-
tinued, what the German soldiers have
done in Ukraine. AS for the word Fin
land, one cannot pronounce it without
shame. Eighty thousand people are
in prison on account of their political
opinions; 1000 have been killed; the
Finnish people have been assassinated
by German scldiers.'
"The members of the Right then stood
and protested. The Deputies of the
Centre and the Conservatives left the
hall. Cohn, however, threw reproach
at the Hohenzollerns. We do not wish
that this cruel European war should
become a family affair OF the Hohen-
zollerns.' he declared.n

these men as coming within the class
of conscientious objectors.
The men refused service solely be-
cause they were asked to fight against
Germany and Austria, in which coun-
tries most of theme claimed to have
relatives. Since they are not regarded
as conscientious obiectors, they will
not have the right of review of their
cases by the special board appointed to
hear appeals of such objectors.
Secretary Baker held with the courts
that, since the men were citizens of
the United States regularly inducted
into service under the selective service
law, they were in duty bound to fight
for the country and that they could
not select the country against which
they would bear arms.

Fate of Austria
Hangs on Outcome
OF Italian Drive
By Arthur S. Draper
tSpeciai Coble to The Tribvnel !


LONDON, June 17.--After three
days of fighting the Italians are
holding the Austrians remarkably
well along ninety odd miles of front
from the Asiago Plateau to the sea.
1t is too. early still to draw de-
ductions, but unless the enemy gets
started soon, their long planned
offensive will end in the most colos-
sal reverse that any assaulting force
has experienced in this war. Such
a reverse is almost unbelievable and
ii is as surprising as the Italian
defeat last fall.
Necessarily the news is still vague
and indefinite, but the reports at
hand, SO far, are exceedingly fine,
rejecting the highest credit on the
defenders. To find parallel for the
present apparent reverse, it is
necessary to recall Brusiloff's col
lapse and in smaller way the Brit.
ish failure at Cambria last year.
Political Reaction Certain
But neither Of these attacks is to
be compared with the present in
magnitude and effort. Political re-
action of a startling nature must fol-
low a military failure of sucn pro-
portions as this appears to be.
Karl of Austria can i'll afford to
suffer reverse, however small.
Upon this offensive he has stsksd

peatedly that industry plays as essen
tial and honorable a role in this great
struggle as do our military ornaments.
We all recognize the truth of this. but
we must also see its necessary applica-
tion-namely that industry, doing a
vital task for the nation, must receive
the support and assistance. of the
nation. We must recognize that it is
a natural demand-almost a right of
any one serving his country, whether
employer or employe, to know that his
service is being used in the most effec-
tive manner possible. In the case OF
labor this wholesale desire has been
not a little thwarted, owing to the
changed conditions which war has cre-
ated in the labor market"
Ignorance of Conditions
"There has been much criticism as
to the essential products. There has
been ignorance of condltions-men
have gone hundreds Of miles in search
of Job and wages which they might
have found at their doors. Employers
holding government contracts OF the
highest Importance have competed for
workers with holders of similar con-
tracts, and even with the government
itself, and have conducted expensive
campaigns for recruiting labor in sec
tions in which the supply OF labor was
already exhausted.

War-Weary Nation, Fac.
ing Dissolution, Lashed
to Attack by Germany
By c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, June N.-The re.
suits of the Austrian offensive are am
blguous. The drive in the opinion of
military authorities cannot be said to
have been stopped. Neither can it be
said that it will certainly go on. Aus
tria, according to these critics, has
done in her first two days fighting
about all that could have been expected
OF her. And yet it is possible for Italy
to thrust her back where she came
from in the next few hours.
She has crossed the Piave aetride of
a railroad, which is good point upon
which to base an advance. But she
has not swung forward with the might
which Germany has displayed in her
recent advances in the West. Her sue
cess may be localized. 1t may develop.
The next few days will tell.
On the side of terrain the advantage
is with the enemy. On the human side
the advantage is with Italy. Austria s
last drive stopped at a point from
which an attack could be easily pro-
jected. Italy stopped her at that time
where she could, not where she would.
Italy was left in a position not espe-
cially defensibe and one from which
an assault could not safely be launched.
Italian Soldiers
Are Good Fighters
AS for men, if reports in the posses
sion of the War Department are true,
Allied opinion has never done entire
justice to the quality of Italy's army.
Observers say that the best troops any
where on the Allied line, except our
own troops in France, are on the Piave,
When they say this they are speaking
of the health and vigor of the men and
the general appointments of the army.
This is true because Italy, like our
selves, is still able to face the enemy
with the pick of her men. She has not
been in the war as long as France and
England, and the war has not engrossec
her enegies as it has the. energies of
England and France. Her line is rela-
lively short. She has not had to call
her older and physically inferior men
into action.
Moreover, her people are an outdoor
people. Their vigor makes them ad-
mirable laborers in this country. Mill
tary men put great confidence in the
physical vitality of an army as the
basis of morale. Therefore. they say in
their reports to our own War Depart
ment that Italy to-day has the best
troops anywhere in the field of war,
except our troops.
On the ambiguous result of the
Austro-Italian fighting much depends.
The parallel between Austria and Rus
sia is inviting. Austria Is the near
est counter part in the Central
Bund of what Russia was year ago
in the Entente. Neither is q nation.
Neither is modern. Russia is a con
geries of villages or local communities.
Austria is a congeries of nations. The
power of people to endure modern
war seems to depend upon it's industrial

German airplanes to-day and late
last evening were very active. There
was hardly moment when the hol-
low bark Of the Arches was not
heard. The enemy has been espe-
cially active against the sausage bal
looms. The downpour of rain late
to-day caused temporary lull in the
artillery duel.
The infantry has not been engaged

WIT H THE AMERICA
FORCES ON THE MARINE, June
17.-The Germans to-day began
using gas to n greater extent along
this front than they have done here
tofore. Belleau Wood came in for
its share, but despite the heavy GAS
and other shelling the American
lines remain intact.
An American patrol crossed the
Marne last night, east of Chateau
Thierry, and at once established con-
tact with the Germans. After an
exchange of shots the Americans re-
crossed the river safely by means of
boats.
The American forces along the
south bank Of the Marne are con-
stantly crossing to the north side,
where the enemy is intrenched in
wooded low lands, returning safely.
Most of the American patrols have
crossed by boat; others, singly or
in small numbers, swim the stream,
which is about 15O feet wide.
Twice only recently have the
larger patrols encountered the
enemy. 1t is known, however, that
some Of Germany's best troops are
facing the Americans here.
Guns Increase Activity
The enemy artillery fire in the Sec
ton east of Chateau Thierry has
been increasing fog some time, and
the American fire has increased pro-
portionately.
The Germans last night started to
construct a foot bridge across the
Marne at this point, but were discov-
cred, and abandoned the attempt
even before the American machine
gunners on the bank could get into
action.
To the west the Germans have
taken to drenching certain localities
with mustard gas. One of these
places is Belleau Wood, the Germans
apparently thinking that this was
the only way to drive the American
troops out. But it was not, for they
are still holding all their positions,
and at the same time are giving the
enemy some clouds of American gas
to worry about.

"Severe Defeat"
In North
Desperate Battle
Raging on Piave
Vienna Reports Total
of $4,000 Prisoners;
5000 Captured
by Allies

The Austrians on the third day of
their offensive yesterday again failed
in their attempt to drive forward
along the Italian battlefront.
On the middle Piave, the centre of
the active fighting line, and on the
lower Piave, they have made slight
gains at heavy cost. On the inn
portant northern mountain front
they have suffered such serious re-
verses that they have had TO reor-
ganize their forces.
Italians Fall Back Slowly
Throwing the greatest weight
against the Italian line on the Mon
tello Plateau, high ground on the
middle Piave and the key to the
Venetian Plains, the Austrians
pushed a short distance west and
south. The Italians, falling back
slowly before superior numbers, held
their line on the crest of the heights
running east from Ciano.
On the Asiago Plateau, on the
mountain front, terrific British coun-
ter attacks have thrown the enemy
back and completely reestablished
the original line.
Capo Sile Occupied
Following up their early minor
successes on the lower Piave. the
Austrians pressed their attacks with
renewed vigor, but met growing Itai-
ian resistance. They advanced short
distances west of the river near Mu-
sile and st. Andrea. Further south
the Austrians occupied Capo Sile on
the border of the swamp region.
Two thousand additional prisoners
on the Piave front are claimed BY
Vienna, bringing the toll on that
side of the "L" front to 1900, and
the total for the whole drive to 49,
600. Nearly 5000 prisoners have
been taken by the Allied armies.
