POPE HOLDS SECRET
 THAT WORRIES HUNS

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, June 30.-(By the Associat- cd Press) There is an interesting de- velopment in connection with the hos tile shelling of the territory around Mont Des Cats, where the famous Trappist monastery is located. For weeks the Germans have been bom- barding this Flemish elevation heavily.
 Recently the German emperor wrote letter to the German commander asking that Mont Des Cats be spared because the aged prior of the monas- tery was the only living person who knew where the emperor's relative, Prince Max of Hesse. had been buried after his death in the monastery in October, 1914. The prince was at tached to the cavalry which occupied Mont Des Cats in october after the outbreak of the war
 During an engagement with British cavalry, Prince Max was mortally wounded and taken to the monastery. While he was being nursed by the monks his comrades were driven from the hill and the British occupied it. The prince died and was buried in a certain place. the location of which was not disclosed to the world. The German emperor wrote a letter to the pope. in which he asked for in- formation as to where the prince was buried and requested the return of the body. The pontiff forwarded the let ters to the monastery, and it was then that the emperor received the famous reply-not until he had evacuated Bell gium and made just restitution would he learn the whereabouts of the princess grave.
 The emperor now appears to be wor- ried that his guns may kill the only man able to give him the desired in- | formation but his request to spare the place. if he made such a request seems to have met with small response so far, for big shells continue to break on the monastery.

 AMERICANS T0 HUNS

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON THE MARINE June 30.-(By the Associated Press)-EXcessive move ments of troops and materials north of Chateau Thierry, together with the in creased artillery and aerial activity, form the basis of the belief that American forces in this locality may be called upon to defend themselves shortly.
 Long streams of enemy troops and wagon trains have been observed in the neighborhood of the Bonnes wood. There have been more than fifty enemy aerial flights over the American lines northwest of Chateau Thierry in the last A hours. One German machine was shot down by our anti-aircraft guns.
 Shells Vital Spots The American artillery has heavily shelled many vital spots within the enemy lines, once obtaining a direct hit in detachment of marching Ger mans.
 For days the Americans have been expecting the enemy. stung by the de- feat administered recently here, would make vigorous assault It was partly l -O' hAio itdfOIl ilic lAIUtIlCdH O)tId- tons in the Belleau section were car rled out. With these operations con- pleted, the Americans now have the country for several miles in front of them under their eyes and guns. When the expected blow comes they will be that much better prepared to meet it.
 Germans Will Pay
 The American troops are prepared and the Germans will get warm re- ception if they try what the situation indicates they have in mind. The Americans say that no matter where the enemy strikes he is bound to pay dearly for his effort and the bigger the target the better they will like it.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

AMSTERDAM, June 370.-Emperor Charles of Austria has commanded Premier von Seydler to carry on the government, but he has failed to tell how to do it. Messages received here indicate the Poles remain adamant in their attitude of opposition to his pol icy. In fact, the Poles already have declared that they will not even con- slider economic concessions with which, it is reported, Dr. von Seydler intended to placate them. The ~amier now has appealed to the Poles mot to obstruct the provisional budget too severely"
 The Czechs and South Slavs told Emperor Charles they would refuse to vote for the provisional budget and the war credits if pr. von Seydler remained in office.
 To Rescue of Party
 The Ukrainian members have com to the rescue of the German national party in support of Won Seydler to the extent that they will vote for both the budget and the war credits on condi- tion the premier remain in office. They are quoted as saying that they will not tolerate his dismissal at the behest of the Poles.
 The Christian socialists declare they will only stand by Premier von Seyd- Ter if the old regime in Bohemia is continued, and they are determined to resist any furthe- anti-state agi- tation.
 ! The attitude of the German socialists in the Austrian parliament still is ob- scure.
 Hunger Not Appeased
 Meanwhile food disturbances have occurred in Vienna, but beyond the mere mention of the stopping of street cars, the smashing of factory windows and the raiding of bread carts, no fur ther details are available.
 At Budapest the strike has come tc an end after an appeal by the socialist leaders on the ground that the parlia mentarians of all political shades, with a few exceptions, have left them in the lurch.
 Newspapers. which have appeared ir the Hungarian capital after being sus- pended for four days, regard the col lapse of the strike as a serious setback for the karolyi party, which had es- lpoused the demands of the strikers The ending of the strike also is con- sidered to have strengthened the hand. of the government
 Explains Strike Attitude
 Premier Wekerle, replying in the house of magnates that he had no acted with sufficient energy in puttinf down the strike, said:
 Against the foreign enemy I would have adopted the strongest measures but here 1 was confronted with my ow1 people and the utmost circumspectiol and prudence were called for"
