CZECHO- SLAV
PEACE CALL is
VOTED DOWN
Austrian Lower House Rejected Resolu-
tion as Inadmissible for Submis-
sion to a Vote.

Amsterdam, July 29.-A resolution de-
claring in favor of an immediate peace
without annexations and indemnities
was offered in the Austrian lower house
Saturday by Deputy Stanek, on behalf of
the Czechs. The resolution declared CON
tinuation Of the war is useless from the
standpoint Of both humanity and polit-
ical utility. 1t asserted that all peoples
should have the right to self determine
tion and asked that the house demand
that Hungary oppose the annex
ationist and imperialistic policy which
had gained the upper hand in Germany
and try itself to find way to demo-
cratic peace.
The House, says Vienna despatch to
The Voschesse Zeitung Of Berlin which
reports the incident, rejected the resolu-
tion as inadmissible for submission to a
vote.
Deputy Stanek said the Czech people
would become great and strong, despite
the prosecutions of narrow minded gov
ernment. The Czechs never before were
so united, so ready to fight, so certain of
victory They are united in firm will, he
added, and never again will bear a for
eign yoke. The Czecho-Slav state is a
fact which will not be diverted.

With the French Army in France, July
90 tBy the Associated Press) The for

uninterruptedly throughout Sunday. On
Saturday the progress of the allied
forces was extremely rapid, with slight

Paris, July 29.--Under the irresistible
pressure of the allied troops the enc
my"s retreat continued yesterday, ac-
cording to the Havas correspondent at
the front. The average advance of the
allies during the day was from three to
five klometers. 1t is as yet impossible
to determine the limit Of the retreat but
it is probable that it viii stop on the
wooded heights along the Vesle river.
On the left of the allied line the Ger
mans made great efforts to hold up the
army under General Degoutte, blowing
up bridges and foot bridges to Fer-en-
Tardenois and contending for territory
foot by foot The enemys stubbornness
was useless and the allied troops entered
the town by the west and south and are
holding their positions.
Farther toward Rheims the allies con-
tinued TO advance toward Ville-en-Tar-
denois, into which their vanguards prob
ably now have penetrated.
It is explained that the small number
of German prisoners taken is due to the
fact that the allies have advanced with
extreme caution and the Germans left
only small forces to cover their retreat,
These forces were given orders to hold
on to the last SO that the main body
might withdraw. Thus the enemy's
losses relatively are heavier in dead
than in prisoners. On the other hand,
the Germans left considerable booty, es-
pecially engineering machinery, muni-
tions depots and number of cannon
which they dismantled before abandon
ing.

BIC CROWD ENJOYED
CLAN GORDON PICNIC
Long List of Attractions Kept the Party
Busy at Caledonia Park for Many
Hours Saturday.

Relief from the oppressive heat was
one of the boons which the Clan Gordon
picnic at Caledonia park Saturday con-
ferred on its patrons, and hundreds OF
people who forsook the enervsting atmos-
phere of the city to treat themselves to
the joys of picnicking at the park were
heartily glad of their decision. 1t wasn't
the largest crowd in the history of the
clan picnic, yet the attendance was graf
flying and the proceeds undoubtedly will
bulk large in the war work which the
clansmen are carrying on in such exem-
plary fashion. Thirty -four yearly out
ings have been held since the clan was
chartered, and none of them has present
ed a greater number of attractions or a
more varied program of sporting events.
If the weather was bit too warm for
general participation in the field sports,
it had its compensations, for the wooded
ramparts to the east of the park fur

evening shadows had begun to lengthen.
Quoting matches aroused good deal of
interest, as did the several shooting and
dancing competitions
Plenty of merit was to be found in the
midway attractions. An effigy of Kaiser
Bill offered pleasing target for marks
men, and many vented their just spite
during the afternoon. The figure was
the creation of J. X. Anderson, and it
was remarkably true to the popular no.

real life. And he surely got his bumps.
