WOMAN INJURED WHEN JAR HITS
 WAGON IN ROAD

Driving an automobile along a dark section of Central avenue, near the McDowell road, late last night, H. M. Fennemore, an attorney, 501 East Moreland street, ran his car into hay wagon, the impact of the collision tearing out the rear seat of his car and seriously injuring his wife.
 The portion of the road at the scene of the accident is poorly lighted and for that reason the hay rack could not be distinguished by MT. Fennemore until he was almost upon it. As soon as he saw the vehicle he sWerved the car quickly to the left to avoid a col lision and thereby swung the rear end of his car into the hay rack. Mrs. Fennemore was seated in the rear seat and her hand was resting on the door of the car just as the acci- dent occurred and her hand was badly smashed.
 MT Fennemore and his son, who was also riding in the car, were uninjured Mrs. Fennemore was removed to the Sisters Hospital for medical atten- tion.
 At the hospital it was found neces- sary to amputate one of the fingers of Mrs. Fennemore's right hand. MT. Fennemore said that the hay wagon with which his car collided had been standing in the same place on Central avenue all day yesterday and that no lights, danger lights oI otherwise, were placed on the wagon after dark. MT. Fennemore further | stated that another automobile ran into the same hay wagon shortly after l his car had struck it.

WAR SUMMARY
(Bv the Associated Press

The Italians have succeeded in clearing the Austrians out of a very considerable part of the terrain the en- emy had been clinging to near the mouth of the Piave, between the new and old beds of the river.
 In hard fighting the Austrian resist ance was broken in the area close to the Adriatic, General Diaz' troops moving the invaders across the new bed from Grsolera to the sea, approXi- mately five miles. Four hundred were taken prisoners.
 Austria Admits Loss
 Vienna admits a loss of ground here.
 In the northern part of this low lying sector northeast of Capo Sile, where the Austrians are still west of the new stream they rallied their forces and counter attacked. General Diaz' troops stood their ground and repulsed the enemy.
 Except on the Italian front the clos ing days of the week witnessed little fighting of an intensive nature any where. For the moment the allied plan of local thrvsts in the Franco Belgian area, calculated to upset such dispositions for a new attack as the Germans might be making on any of the numerous fronts involved, showed no developments.
 Praise Given Americans
 There are nothing but compliments for the Americans upon the occasion of the first appearance in an attack side by side with British troops. To the Australians who formed the major portion of the force which carried out the brilliant fourth of July attack on the Amiens front, northeast of Villers- Brettoneaux, is conceded the larger part of the glory. The hitherto untried American troops are coming in for the highest praise for the part they took in the fighting through Hamel.
 Details of the Americans behavior indicate that in fighting spirit and eff fectiveness in pushing back the enemy they were not eXcelled even by the traditionally gallant seasoned veterans in whose company they received theii baptism of fire. Their losses are re- ported to have been exceedingly light.

AUSTRIAN
 LOSS NEAR 250,OD0
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Austrian losses in the recent unsuccessful of fensive against Italy and during the Italian counter offensive are estimated at between 100000 and 250, 900, includ- ing at least 5O,OOO killed, in an official dispatch today from Rome based upon testimony of numerous prisoners.
 The message says the Austrians per sist in beating the ground about posi- tions captured by the Italians with a strong but intellectual artillery fire. It adds:
 Prisoners taken at Monte Grappa state the Austrians had no idea they could be beaten from their strong po- sition in 20 minutes The enemy's losses were very heavy; his rear service was badly disorganized and the troops feel the lack of baggage.
 Seven Italians who escaped cap tivity state that the Austrians force a majority of the War prisoners to work on the second line under our fire"

 ROME, July 6.-"After five days of uninterrupted struggle" says the late official communication, the enemy was completely driven on to the left bank of the new PiaVe Saturday afternoon"
 The recapture of all the coastal zone between Capo Sie and the PiaVe, which the enemy had occu- pied and held since November, brilliantly crowns the victory gained by us in the first great battle of our recovery and enlarges the zone of protection for Venice.
 Altogether since the 18th of June, 523 officers and 23,911 other ranks have been made prisoner. We also captured 63 guns. 63 trench mortars, J,234 machine guns. 3,700 rifles, two airplanes, B. o0o,C00 rifle cartridnes. many thousands of shells of all kinds and a large quantity of telephone in- struments and recovered our artiI- leries and material. which in the advanced zone had to be aban- doned during the first phase of the struggle"
 The Italian statement reads:
 "On the lower Piave our pressure is continuing firmly. Yesterday, having broken up most of the stub born enemy defense at every yard, we gained more ground reaching the right bank of the new Piave from Grisolo to the river mouth. More than 400 -risoners, including six officers, remained in our hands.
 "A violent counter offensive at tempted by the enemy in the di- rection of ChiesanoVa was ar rested.
 Renewed attacks on our posi- tions on Porte di Salton and at tempts to assault our patrols on Monte Corone failed.
 "Our aViators were very active in bombino troop centers beyond the lower PiaVe. Two enemy air planes were brought down."

AMERICA AGREES TO SIBERIAN ADVANCE, REPORT
President Plans Veto Because of
 Wheat Price Set

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Presi- dent Wilson will veto the annual agricultural appropriation because of the rider agreed to by both sen ate and house today fixing the gov ernment minimum guaranteed wheat price at S2.40 a busheI. This information was transmitted to Chairman Lever of the house agr- culture committee today through Postmaster General Burleson just before Speaker Clark had signed the bill preliminary to sending it to the White House.
 Should the president veto the bill the S228,o00,ooo annual appro- pration for the department of az ricuIture would be tied up until congress reconvenes. The depart ment, however, would not be with out funds as congress today adopted resolution continuing last years appropriation until the appropriation bill finally is enacted.
 The S11,000,000 emergency aeri- cultural appropriation measure will go over until the recess, its pass age having been blocked in the senate because of the Morris amendment providing for war time prohibition.

WONDERFU u FIGHT ON JULY FOURTH
 CELEBRATES DAY

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. Friday, July 5.-(By the Associated Press. )-All the traditions of the United States army for valor were brilliantly sustained yesterday in the successful attack made against the Germans south of the river Somms when for the first time American infantrymen took their stand beside their British cousins and fought shoulder to shoulder with them against the common foa.
 It was a baptism of fire tor the Yankee soldiers on this front, staged on Independence day, and they came through with flying colols-fi1ting comrades for the famous Australian warriors whom they were assisting
 Fight Like Fiends
 "The Americans fought like fiends,' declared one British staff officer.
 They did all of that. They were magnificent and folks at home may be proud of the part their boys tool, in this unique Fourth of July cele- bration in the shell torn valley of | the winding Somme. They were | fighting over ground which already l had been stained with the blood of thousands of brave soldiers, but no better troops ever charged across the rolling fields than the pioneers from the American army. Along with this it is possible to make the cheer ful statement that their casualties were very small, according to the latest reports. Virtually the entir, body of Americans came through un- i scathed. This was probably due tC the weak resistance which the Ger. mans offered to the Anglo American onslaught.
 Planned for Fourth
 Yesterdays operations were speci fically planned as Fourth of Jun celebration which should bring tn, Americans into the British battle lin for the first time. American troop who were to take part ir. this mem orable event were brigaded with thei Australian allies. who took the deep est interest in the forthcoming weld ing of the link of brotherhood.

GERMAN DRIVE UPON ALLIES IN FRANCE
 CERTAINLY COMING
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, July 6. - Germany is preparing for a renewal of the of fensive on the west front, which may come at any moment and with terrific force. This is the conclusion reached by General March, chief of staff, as in- dicated today in his weekly conference with the newspap per correspondents. No other construction is to be put upon the present lull, he said. and at the same time he sounded this new American slogan:
 After Second Million
 We have embarked a million men and we are now going after the sec ond million"
 To members of the senate military committee during their weekly con- ference. it was revealed that more than a quarter of a million American troops were at various points on the battle lines on June 1.
 Campaign of Nbbling
 General March pointed out that Gen eral Foch was carrying out a campaign of nibbling at the enemy front, the capture of Vaux by troops of the Amer ican second division. composed of reg ular regiments, had been a striking example of the raids in force. Other officers have seen in these operations evidence of a greater flexibility of the allied armies, due to increased man power. The fact that 251,00O Ameri- cans were engaged on July 1 indicates the extent to which American aid is responsible for having eased the situ- ation in that respect.
 Hun Preparations Elaborate
 Complete confidence in the ability of the allied and American forces to hold. characterizes military opinion here. The delay of the Germans indi- cates the great preparations they are making.<
 Some officers are inclined to believe that the Italian situation still is tend ing to hold up German operations in the west. General March made it clear that the Italians succeeded in regain ing all but one small salient and i'm proved their old positions. There has been nothing to indicate the nature oi the steps Germany may have taken tC offset Austrian reverses. There arc some officers who anticipate the ap- pcarance of considerable German re- serves in the Austrian lines, whicl would influence the situation in tho ! west.

JUARE,z, Mex, July 6.-General Francisco Murguia, commander of the northeastern military zone, denied that Germans were being permitted to vio- late MeXicos neutrality, in an inter- view given the Associated Press in his private car here late today. General Murguia arrived today from Chihuahua City to inspect border troops.
 There is nothing to these reports of unusual activities among the few Ger man refugees in northern Mexico, General Murguia said. "Neither are they being permitted to conduct a cam paign of propaganda in the north.
 Our government is strictly neutral and is doing everything to maintain this neutrality and no one is permitted to commit unneutral acts, whoever they may be. The trouble seems to be that some people do not understand what neutrality really is.'
 War Definitely Over
 General Murguia reviewing the mili- tary situation in his zone, said the rev olutionary period was now definitely over. He announced today his forces had captured and executed as bandits Canuto Reyes. revolutionary general, together with 20 of his followers at Terrame Durango, on June 27. Reyes was prominent rebel leader in the Torreon and Chihuahua districts.
 General Murguia said Villa and his band of 30 followers had been driven into the Durango foot hills and was no longer a factor in the north. The only revolutionists now in the field, he add ed, were Martin Lopez and Nicolas Fernandez in northeastern Chihuahua.
 Now that the revolutionary period has been passed, Mexico is entering in- to a period Of construction" Gen eral Murguia said. Conditions are i'm proved throughout the republic and what is needed now is better under; standing among the people, especially among business men,"

 General Murguia outlined his lant colonization plan which is being car ried out at Molinar, and near Casa! Grandes.
