HAYS REPLIES TO

Republican Leader Rejects
Charge Made by Cummings

FORT WAYNE, Ind. June 14.-Will
IL. Hays, chairman of the national COM
mittee Of the Republican party, in an

lenge Of Homer S. Cummings, chairman
of the national Democratic committee,
recently made in Chicago, that the Re-
publtcans make a partisan issue Of the
league OF nations. Mr.. Hays, without
naming the league, nevertheless, said:
The conclusion of the treaty of
peace, including all its professionalism
we know what they are-is in no ems
a partisan question. 1t is an American
question. In the same spirit in which
Republicans during the recent war
measured their every act by how they
could contribute most TO effective ac-

meet this new phase of the war problem
in that revived spirit of fervent Amer

W supreme ~nationalism, the preserva-
ton of which in its integrity Is the
greatest safeguard for the future, not
only for the citizens of this country but
for all peoples everywhere"

MEXICAN REBELS FAIL TO
MAKE GOOD ]UAREz THREAT

JUAREZ, June 1.-THE rebels In this
vicinity had failed to make good their
threat to attack Juarez early today.
Federal scouts, who during the night
crept out beyond the entertainments,
reported small parties OF rebels In the
vicinity of the race track and the agri-
cultural college, respectively one and
two miles from the center of the city.
Early today the streets were desert
ed save for an occasional patrol party
or r. horseman carrying reports to
headquarters. Consul-Genera Garcia
crossed from III Paso at a late hour
last night and remained In conference
with Gen. Garcia. Both said that the
federals were fully prepared for eventu-
alities.
Nothing has been heard Of the 1000
federal troops who were reported due
TO arrive from Chihuahua to reinforce
the Juarez garrison. The only rein
forcements received yesterday con-
sisted OF some two dozen customs
guards who were ordered on duty in
the trenches by Collector Murietta.
4 A courier who arrived last night from
the rebel headquarters near Zaragosa,
less than 13 miles from Juarez, reports
that the rebels have 4,400 men, all
armed with rifles and each man sup
piled with 900 rounds OF ammunition,
Two field guns and eight machine
guns are included In the rebels fight
ing equipment. At the time the courier
left tho camp the intention was to
attack Juares before daylight. The
courier, who Is a we'll known, reliable
man, though a strong partisan OF Villa,
declares there Is not the slightest doubt
OF the ability Of the rebels to capture
Juarez,
Angeles is in supreme command of The
expedition, though Francisco villa, with
a bodyguard OF 900 men Ia present. The
courier also brought n report of the
destruction of the Mexican Central rail-
way line by the rebels, including the
drawing and burning OF 5000 railway
ties between MonteEuma and Chlhua-
| hua City, and similar destruction be-
tween Chihuahua City and Santa Ro-
| salia. to the south.
The delay in attacking Juarez Is ac-
| counted for by the statement that Gen
| Angeles was awaiting the arrival Of
villa who was delayed on account OF
the remaining behind to arrange fol
| medical aid for his brother.
Fifteen men Of Martin Lopez's com
mand were sent In close to the Juarei
defenses on the east last night and
brought in a report OF a skirmish will
the federals In which several OF tn,
latter were killed.

Unfortunately the Austrian army was not always strong enough to carry out his bold plans. Too little had been done for the army in times of peace It had been openly neglected, and, unlike our army in Germany. had not that prestige in it's own country which en- courages energetic action.
 The flower of the combatnnt officers corps, who had held the army together in spite of conflicting nationaIities, had faIicn by that time; those who remaine d left much to be desired in many cases, and failed to cement the fabric of the Z army. The old true and valiant sol dfer stock had also fallen on the bat tlefieId.
 The Austro Hungarian army was quite differently trained from the Ger man army. Up to that time General Won Conrad had not thought very high ly of our peace-time training. He now acknowledged to me that he was in favor of its principles. In particular he was convinced that it is impossible to attach too much importance to any thing that strengthens discipline.
 The general staff of the Austrian army gave, he thought, too much time to theory, and neglected the practical swork. Too many orders were given from above, and any inclination for in dependent action or personal responsi- bility was suppressed. Communications were we'll organized, but absorbed an enormous number of officers.
 PROTECTED BY THE GERMANS
 In the course of its retreat the Aus trian army had retired over the San and even the Wislok. It's more than 40 divisions Wore now crowded togethe on the west bank of the Wislok, be- tween the Carpathians and the Vistula. could not understand how there was room for it there. but as I heard later, the large number of prisoners explained the situation. The army was terribly exhausted.
 Acting on his own responsibility and trusting to Germanys help, General Von Conrad@undertook to take the of- fensive again early in October, even if the Austrian army had meanwhile to retire still further under Russian pres sure.
 The advance of the Ninth army was already protecting the northern wing of the Austrian army against possible envelopment. It was now to come up with the latter, and to join in it's for ward movement north of the Vistula. The allied armies were then to attack the Russians wherever they found them. At the same time the Ninth army was to keep a sharp lookout on its exposed left wirty and left flank.
