Galician Maneuvers MISSION JUBILANT. y Washington, July 3—The Rus sian offensive, welcomed with re- joicing by the Russian mission here, was stated today by Ambas- sador Bakhmatoff to be complete proof of the re-establishment of Russia’s fighting powers as a Necessary safeguard to the achievement of the revolution. | The temporary inaction was ex- plained to two causes, the neces- sity of reorganizing the army on demecratic principles and the time required for it to realize the necessity for destroying German autocracy. The mission will not, prophesy as to the future, except to say that Germany's hope based on a separate peace with Russia will not, be fulfill Petrograd; July.-3.—The new Rus- sian offensive has resulted in the cap- ture, of 6, more prisoners.

The Russian artillery is plentifuliy supplied with ammunition for the ‘im- portant work it has in hand. The supply department was the weakest of any during the old’regime. The deficiency in this respect now seems to have been thoroughly remedied. Petrograd advices declare the prepa- rations as regards munitions and equipment were better than for any preceding operation in the whole war. Military movements on other fronts are dwarfed in importance by the Rus- sian drive. There is nevertheless considerable activity on the Aisne and Verdun fronts in northerfn France, where the Germans are continuing their attacks. General Petain’s forces are holding firm, however, and all the crown prince’s attempts of last night, including a sharp drive between Hill No. 304 and Avocourt wood in the Verdun region. were completely checked.

There remains an unexpired bal- ance of several hundred dollars in the regents’ lump appropriation for the last biennium. It has been held that the state laws governing educa- tional institutions provide that ap- propriations for these institutions shall remain “alive” for four years, instead of reverting into the general fund at the end of the biennium, as do other special funds.,‘Under this ruling, the board has asked that the heading of its $6,000 appropriation for salary and per diem of: members be extended to include salary and per diem of members and traveling expenses of board and employes, and that the unexpended balance from the last two years be added to this fund. It will be remembered that in the warfare on the present board, an ap- propriation of $7,000 for traveling ex- penses was vetoed by the govecnor. To Build Pavilion. Toencourage the breeding of stand- ard cattle and with a view to increas- ing interest in livestock judging on the part of students at the agricul- tural college, the board today author- ized the construction of a pavilion with proper stall room at the college, where cattle may be loaned from standard herds for judging practice on the part of the students, and where periodical sales of standard bred cattle may be held. To Assist. Ladd. R. E. Stallings, assistant in chem- istry to Dr. Ladd for nine years prior to his taking a position with the state of Georgia, has been called back to North Dakota by the board of re- gents, to assume his old post. Dying of Hungar In Poland’s Streets Stockholm, July 3.—Three Poles, former members of the upper house of the parliament, have issued an ap- peal for aid of the Poles at Warsaw, saying that people are dying in the streets of hunger.

Paris, July 3.—A battalion of Amer- ican troops.arrived in Paris this morn- ing ‘to parade‘on July: 4:. The: troops: were greeted by wildly enthusiastic crowds, which packed the streets through which they marched to the barracks where they are quartered. Kiss Soldiers. Several times groups ot shop girls on their way to work slipped through the police lines and kissed the sdl- diers, to their great embarrassment. ‘Now and then an American voice would be heard calling out ‘Hello, ‘boys,” and “Welcome to Paris,” or “Good luck.” When the regimental colors were carried past, the men bared their heads. The Americans were greatly surprised to see a num- ber of children kneel in the streets as the flag was carried by. They were orphans from an institution in the neighborhood. Differ from British.

NEW EMPEROR HAS LOYALTY OF FACTION New Regime Inaugurated Auspic-' iously in China When Mon- archy Is Recognized ‘CHANGE TAKES PLACE WITHOUT DISTURBANCE rekin (Delayed), July 1.—Accord- ing to an edict issued in the name of. Hesuan Tung, the young Smperor, who was put back on the throne today,, un: der the protection of General Chang, Hsun, President. Li Yuan ‘Hung, has’ submitted to the monarchy. The edict follows: “Li Yuan Hung memorializes us to take over the government, stating that he was forced by the troops during the first revolutien to become the nation’s head. He bemoans his defects as head of the republic, and asks us to punish him: We recog- nize his mistakes and also his mer- its. We hereby appoint him a duke of the first class.” China’s future government will be based on the ’following: “The country shall be administered according to the constitutional laws promulgated by the late emperor. “Expenses of the imperial house- hold shall remain the same as those fixed before. “Blood princes shall not be allow- ed to interfere in politics. “There shall be no difference be- tween Manchu and Chinese. Mar- riage between them is allowed. “All foreign treaties and contracts shall remain in force. “The stamp tax and other petty taxes are abolished. ‘The republican criminal and civil code is abolished and that introduced the first year under Hsuan Tung is reinstated. “Political offenders are pardoned. “The wearing of queues is option- A hundred Japanese have arrived to strengthen the legation guard. There is no news of President Li Yuan Hung’s expected resignation. Lack of Confidence Voted by Japanese Governing Body Tokio (Delayed), June 30.—The house of representatives in a turbu- lent session today rejected with a ma- jority of 110, a resolution of lack of confidence in the government. Yukio Ozaki, leader of the consti- tutionalist party, made the principal attack on the government's foreign policy, especially as regards China. He declared the United States stole a ‘march on Japan, by sending to China the note in regard to the res- toration of tranquility. The foreign office, he said, sought unsuccessfully to excite public opinion and conceal its own failure by making statements in semi-officlai organs. The imperial emblem Is everywhere displayed marking the restoration of the Manchu monarchy. There has peen no disorder. In a long edict the emperor, who was restored to the throne today, explains how, being youthful, he was forced to relinquish sovereign power to Yuan Chi Kai, the late president. ‘The country being threatened with disintegration and party strife and the people appealing to him to take over itg ‘administration to save the people from suffering, the emperor says he was compelled to take action. negroes whom they might slay. At this hour it was impossible to make an accurate estimate of the number of dead. Estimates. of them run up to 100 and higher, but these estimates are purely conjectural. The exact number slaughtered probably will never be known, as it is thought that many bodies were consumed in the flames of the burning. homes. Further shooting. was reported by the police, but without details as the afternoon wore on. Ambulances were scurrying hither and thither. Chief of Police Payne, hearing that a crowd ” of roughs from the Missouti side of the river was coming over , each ‘‘to | Set_@ nigger,” appealed ‘to Chief of ‘Police Young of St. Louis, Mo., to close the bridges. These’were closed last: night, but * reopened’. this morn- ing. | A tew. buildings burning kept | the firemen busy. Three Hutdred and twelve dwell- ings, mostly negro’ shacks, valued at, $300,000, were destroyed by fire in the rioting ‘last night, according to.a ‘statement made today by, Fire Chief M, J. Tobin. : Negroes who could not, be, cared for in the jail were huddled in, groups, including sore whites, in the prison yard, where they ‘had fled during the night. Militiamen guarded them. | Fire on Dying ‘Negro. < ‘One brutal incident of the night was related today. On Fourth street, near Broadway, three men saw a-ne- gro apparently dead, IXng in a gut- ter. One flashed a pocket light in ne face and saw that he still breath- ed. “Well, what do you know about that! Not dead yet!” He and one of his companions then drew their pistols and each fired a bullet into the negro’s head. The causes deeply underlying .the disturbances are said to be of inter- est to many northern communities where negroes have been: brought from the south to replace men enlist- ed in the armed forces of the Unit- ed States, or who have been tempted to other sections by the high wages paid in munitions factories. Race Antagonisms. Race antagonisms flamed up last May, combined with an attempt to obtain a permit from the city council to build an addition to the negro set- tlement, byt the project, after a bit- ter fight, was defeated. This served to intensify feeling against “the blacks. Petty crime is said to have increase1; disease likewise. The whites began to feel they would be Saddied with an undesirable element. Regently labor agitators are said to have stirred up their inflammable fol- lowers. ‘Mobs Attack Negress. Another.of the innumerable _inci- dents of the night was an attack on a young negress. White men and wom- en were among the assailants. “Let the women have her.” was the cry among the men, and white women began tearing the garments from the victim. The negress’ cry of “Please, please, | ain’t dun nothin’,”. was stopped by a blow in the mouth with a club which a woman swung Ifke a baseball bat. Another white woman seized the victim’s hand and'the blow was repeated. Fingers tore at her hair, and her waist was stripped from her. Women Follow Her. Now, let’s see how fast she can run,” said a bystander,as the negress broke loose. The women were loath to leave her alone, but after follow- ing her with their blows for a short distance they stopped and she ran crying down the middle of the street.. The woman next tried to get an aged negress, who was guarded by three militiamen. One of them wrestled with the soldier for his rifle and oth- ers succeeded in getting in a few blows. ates Accuse Mayor. An incident of the night indicated the temper of the mob. One crowd went about the streets shouting against the mayor. “Let's get Mollman.” they cried. “he’s the man that brought ‘em in Let’s lynch the mayor.” The cry was raised because of th* false rumor that Mayor Moliman wen (Continued og Page 7Bree.)
