BRITISH CASUALTIES
36,62O DURING WEEK

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. June 21.-Brftish casual
ties reported during the week ended
today aggregated $500. The losses
were divided as follows:
Killed or died of Officers.
235; men, 4.247.
Wounded or missing-Oficers, l.
Ala; men, 30,724.
1t is several weeks since the British
army has been engaged in any pro-
longed fighting on a large scale, al
though British divisions were in
volved in the German attack, which
began the offensive on May 27 on the
Aisne front. The bulk of the casual
ties now being reported. which still
are running between 10000 and 10000
weekly, evidently represent accumu-
lations Of names from the intensive
operations in which the British were
engaged during the heavy German
attacks of this spring on the British
front.

APPEALS TO THE ALLIES
TO SAVE BETRAYED RUSS

Basilo Maklakoff. the Russian ambassa-
dor to France. reiterates In an interview
printed in the Petit Journal his appeal
to the allies for Intervention in Russia.
saying that such action is absolutely
necessary.
1.-THE future Of Russia" says M. Max
lakon, depends on victory for the en-
tente allies. which will be the salvation
of humanity. Allies Intervention is nec-
essary to allow disarmed and betrayed
Russia to resist the Germans. To help
the bolsheviki would be to play Ger
ruany's propaganda game. The allies
must help the population Of the districts
where the bolsheviki and the Germans
are not masters Of the situation"

ing that there is German base of
any kind on the Atlantic coast of
the United States capable of COM
municating with German submarines
operating on this side of the Atlantic.
He said that there is no evidence
of the existence Of such a base, but
some of the officers engaged in the
coast patrol thought the offer of a

AIRCRAFT MAY FLY
OVER THE ATLANTIC
Allies to Try Whether Planes
Can Go From Here to Base
on Own Wings.

An airp1ane flight across the Allan
tic may be made for the first time in
history within a few months. This
was indicated today by Maj. Gen. Will
liam Brancker of the British air min
istry, in an interview with newspa-
permen on the general situation OF
aerial warfare.
Although no details of the first
fight were made known. Gen. Branck-
er stated that the British and Ameri-
can governments had been in con-
sultation on the project.
Practicability to Be Determined.
The fight is not to be attempted as
a spectacular deed. but to find out II
it would be possible to have Amer
ica's airplanes fly to the other side
as they are completed. thereby re-
leasing shipping that would be re-
quired to transport them.
Gen. Brancker indicated that IL a
IlSAI 10 AduC LILO AEoS AdAoAh6
probably would be in the Azores. He
expressed the opinion that weather
conditions alone remain as a serious
obstacle to transatlantic flying. He
indicated that the allies have de-
veloped a plano that is capable of
making the trip.
He estimated that 1t should not take
more than forty hours to cross and
said the pilot probably could go at
about eight-five miles an hour. Four
men, it is figured. would be necessary
in each plane to allow for shift of
pilots and for attending to the engine.
Trial Flight in Fall.
Although it is likely that a trial
fight will be made in the fall. 1t is
probable that no attempt will be made
to fly a large number Of planes across
before next summer.
Gen. Brancker pointed out that Eng
land has flown thousands of planes
across the English channel with an
actual loss of only one man by drown
ing.
In q general outline Of the entire
aircraft problem, Gen. Brancker de-
clared that whoever strikes the hard
est blow will win the war and that
he is certain the hardest blow in the
air will be struck by the allies.

Situation at Montello.
The fighting on the Montello plat
eau continues to be very severe, since
1t Is felt by the Italians that the loss
OF this position would be more i'm
portant than the withdrawal from a
few kilometers of ground along the
Piave. The conditions there are also
bad. owing to the wooded hills, which
are crossed by seventy-two ravines,
each one of which constitutes sep
arate line of defense. Many of them
are still strewn with dead, an indica-
tion of the intensity of the Austrian
resistance as the enemy slowly press
ed him back from points he had won
on the first rush.

cations, affecting the transportation
of artillery. ammunition, food and
fresh troops.

Hunger Reports Surprising.

Italians here are somewhat at loss
to account for the reports Of the last
few days, some from the Italian army
headquarters. that Austrian prisoners
captured have shown effects of ex-
treme hunger. Before the drive be-
gan there were reports from observers
at the front. reaching here via Rome,
that the Austrian army was well fed
and we'll provisioned in every way.
It is believed here that though condi-
tions are bad in Germany and Austria
generally, so far as food is concerned,
some of the reports may have their
source in propaganda efforts on the
part Of the Austrians themselves. They
also believe that soldiers captured by
Italians have been instructed to tell
stories of lack of food and extreme
hunger as part Of this propaganda.
1t is not considered unlikely that
the Austrians, in the face of a re-
verso like that they have Just met,
would seek to account for it by put
ting out stories about food shortage
among the army units. Yet, 1t is con-
tended. hungry men seldom fight as
fiercely and doggedly as many Of
the Austrians have been fighting.

FIRST AMERICAN UNIT
TO AID THE ITALIANS
Heavy Attacks by Austria in Giu-
dicaria Valley Is Next Enemy
Move Expected.

Heavy attacks in the Giudicaria val
ley, west of Lake Garda, and at the
Tonale pass are expected by Italian
military observers to be the next Aus
trian move, according to dispatches re-
ceived from Rome by the Italian en-
bassy here.
Dispatches tell Of the great rejoic-
ing Of the Italian people over the gal
liant defense made by Italian troops
in the offensive from the Asiago pla-
teau to the sea, and description also
is given of scenes attending the de-
parture for the front Of the American
aviation unit, which will be the first
to see active service with the Italians.
Gen. Amdasi Quoted.
Gen. Amdasi. noted Italian military
critic, is quoted in a dispatch as say
ing:
is that thus far no attack has been
made from the Giudicaria valley. in
spite of the fact that an attack from
this front was the favorite plan of
Gen. Conrad, the former minister of
war of Austria.
'It is impossible to foresee the COM
plete result Of the tremendous battle
that is being fought along the entire
front and which will last several days
more. From it's result we will have
an indication Of future developments,
not only on the Italian front, but in
connection with the entire war"
Gen. Amdasi then states that the
Italians must expect new develop
ments in the Giudicaria valley and
against the Tonale pass, without
which the whole Austrian attack is
q failure" He continues:
'It is now ascertained that Gen.
Boroevic, Austrian commanding gen
eral, has at his disposal besides the
entire Austro- ro-Hungarian army, two
German divisions, a Bulgarian diyi-
sion and Turkish contingents. (The
Turks are believed to number about
5,000.) He has, therefore, all forces
necessary for offensive operations
along the entire 'front.'
