TRANS ATLANTIC AR
 TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE
 SAYS NC-4 SKIPPER

NEW YORK, July 2-Regular trans Atlantic air travel would become reality within three years if interest in aviation, evident in time of war, were continued in time of peace, declared Lieutenant Commander Albert C. Read. skipper of the NC-4, at a dinner given tonight by the American Flying club in honor of the men who won for the American navy the honor of being the first to fly across the Atlantic.
 Anyone who says that we will never attain an altitude of 60,000 feet, that we will never be able to cross to Europe in the forenoon and return in the after noon that we will never be able to accomplish the things that appear i'm possible now, is a most courageous per son, with a courage similar to those in the olden days who said that iron ships would never work asserted Commander Reed.
 Commander Read predicted that in the future long distance planes would be much larger than the NC boats which have a wing spread of 126 feet, and that gearing down the propeller to obtain greater efficiency in continuous drive of gasolene motors will solve much of the present engine trouble ex- perienced on long flights.
 Regarding the radio, the results ob- tained by the radio office on the NC-4 undoubtedly broke many. previous rec ords," he said. He sent messages over 700 miles. He heard Boston talking over 1000 nautical miles He copied a long message sent from the George Washington when approaching Brest France, from ,175 miles away. He heard stations calling other stations 1900 miles away.

EX-TEXAS GOVERNOR
 GETS LIBEL VERDICT
IRepublican A. p. Leased wire1

BELTON, Texas, July 2.-FoTmer Governor James E. Ferguson was awarded. verdict for $10,000 damages against the Houston Post by jury in the district court here today, as a re- suit of alleged libeious matter printed by that paper during the last guber material race. The former governor asked $100,00O.
 The article printed by the Houston Post, on which the suit was based, was in the form of resolutions adopted by political club at Columbus, Texas, June 30, 1918, during the gubernatorial campaign in which Governor Ferguson was defeated for reelection by w. P. Hobby. These resolutions attacked the loyalty of Governor Ferguson.
 The defense of the Houston Post was that the action of the club in adopting the resolution was news" regardless of whether the allegations made were true.
 Five suits of similar nature in which MT. Ferguson asks half a million dol lars damages are pending against the Houston Chronicle and still another for $100,00O is pending against the Houston Post

UKRAINIAN FORCES
 SUFFER BIG LOSSES
 AT HANDS OF POLES
[Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

PARIS. July 2.-(By the Associated Press)-The Polish forces on Saturday started counter offensive along the whole Galician- Nolhynian front, ac- cording to advices from Warsaw. The Poles claim they have everywhere broken the Ukrainian resistance. and that the Lemberg Halicz -Stanislau railway line is again in Palish hands.
 The enemy suffered severe casualties 5000 prisoners. 30 machine guns and huge stores being captured
 It seems that the Ukrainians were everywhere taken by surprise and gave way at all points. The Poles occupied Brody, Pluchow Pomorzany and Brze- zany, taking 1000 additional prisoners and much booty
 The Lemberg message says that the Poles have pierced the Ukrainian front at several points. Crowds of Ukrainian prisoners are arriving at Lemberg and the populations of the evacuated re- gions are returning.
 Bolshevik forces began an attack on the Polish front Sunday but were everywhere repulsed

 ITALIAN VILLAGE
TRepubIican A. P. Leased WireJ

BORGO. San Lorenzo, Italy, July ?. This city. wrecked by earthquake Sunday, resembles a town in devastated districts in France after an artillery bombardment The cathedral is in ruins Hundreds of homes and shops have been shaken down. Some of these still habitable after the major shocks fell down during the later earth tremors.
 Many people are living in tents. Military authorities have been unable 10 induce the bakers and the shop keepers to return to their places of business because of. the unsafe con- dition of the buildings. In the bake shops many of the ovens were cracked by the earthquake. Hardly a house was unGamaged. There appears to be little acute suffering, but there is @ great demand for clothing and food which are in charge of the military authorities.
 The local administration and busi- ness are disorganized and the inhabi- tants are giving free reign sto the mili- tary authorities. who are distributing relief
 The first supply truck reached here Monday morning in charge of an American Y. M. c. A. staff under Harry Hobert of Tucson. Arizona.
 He told the Associated Press cor respondent that when he arrived he was literally mobbed by the hungry people. He said the scramble for fooc was such that members of the '. M c. A. force mounted a wall and tossed the food to the people because they could pot hold them back on th' ground.
 We offered our help to the Italian command at Florence" said Hobert
 "Who accepted it. We then loaded oui trucks with all the goods in our Flor ence canteen and started out behint 1 a truckload of doctors. Although no ! the first truck to arrive, ours wa 1 the first with supplies. We have main i tained a regular service from Florence
 since Monday morning."

WAR MEASURES ARE
 OPERATIVE. UNTIL.
 ALL RATIFY TREATY

WASHINGTON, July 2.-In the ab- sence of their statutory limitations, emergency war measures effective un- til the end of the war will continue in operation until the exchange of ratifi- cations of the treaty of peace between this country and its enemies. This in depreciation of several much disputed phrases was given by Attorney General Palmer today as the accepted meaning of the termination of hostilities and the one on which administration of ficials would proceed.
 The trading with the enemy act, however, is to continue in force until the date of the proclamation of the exchange of ratification of peace trea- ties. but the president may declare a prior date if he sees fit. Tn the opin- ion of the department of justice, the earlier date may not be set before the end of the war, that is, the exchange of ratification of treaties, the qualify ing clause being interpreted to mean only that the president need not wait for issuance of the peace, proclamat en

FOOD RIOTS kT FORL| ASSUME
 GRAVE. ASPECT.
Angry Mob Storms Leading Shops When Merchants Refuse to Reduce Prices Loot Given into Public Care for Distribution to the People

FORLI. Italy, July 2.-(By the Asso- ciated Press )-After a great meeting here yesterday, in which vast crowd protested against the high cost of liv- ing, the people, melted by inflamma tory speeches, attacked, sacked ana sestroyed many shops which refused to sell commodities at lower prices.
 The fury of the mob made no dis tinction and had no limits. All the principal shops were plundered and the mo5s controlled the entire city. They took possession of lorries and trans ported all kinds of goods and food sup plies from the pillaged shops to the chambeB of labor. On the walls of this chamber they wrote: These goods are at the disposal of the people
 The situation grew worse during the day, assuming a revolutionary charac- ter, and the mob continued to loot and destroy all kinds of property.
 The food riots here, however, differ 1 fundamentally from those at Spezia early in June. At Spezia the rioters footed for their own advantage, while at Forli most of what was taken from the shops was transferred to the care of the municipality or the chamber of labor to be distributed to the people or sold at low prices.
 The value of the goods stored by the municipality was estimated at S,000,000 lire The proprietors of those shops key to the municipality, which is which escaped sacking brought their l composed of socialists and republicans, and they ordered that the shops be re- opened ard the goods sold for half price under the supervision of the demon strating masses.
 Despite this apparent return to order in the riotous movement, the losses are enormous owing to the destruction of shop fittings and commodities which could not be easily transported, such as gasoline, which was burned in great quantities.

Rail Problems Get Attention
 Of President

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Problems facing the railroad administration will be among the first business laid before President Wilson on his return to Washington. Director General Hines plans to confer with the president next week but declined today to indicate what matters would be discussed other than to say he had no specific recom- mendations to make.
 It is believed, however, that increased freight rates will perhaps be the most important topic.
 Plans for return of the roads to cor porate control constitute another sub- ject likely to be taken up at the con- ference.
 July requirements of the railroads, approximately $95,000,000 were met from cash on hand and no checks were issued against the appropriation made by congress which is not yet available.
