A Pacific Port, June 20.—Lieut. Col.

The party left Moscow May 14. : While Lieut. Cor Robbins said he would make no statement until he had ! conferred with tne state department, unofficial members of the party as- serted that thousands of Czecho- Slovaks are on their way to the United | States to offer their services against Austria. These men, it was said, had been conscripted by Austria when war was declared, but at the first opportunity they had deserted to the Russians, re- maining with the latter until the | Brest-Litovsk peace treaty was signed. The treaty being unsatisfactory to them they decided to come to the United States and offer their services. Every courtesy was shown the party by the Bolshevik government, it was stated. A private car was furnished them at Moscow, notwithstanding the rcity of rolling stock on the trans- Siberian railroad, and they made the journey to Viadivostok in record time. AMERICANS STRIKE NEAR BELLEAU WOOD Drive Germmans Back I'ive-eights of a Mile Northwest of Chateau- Tilicn~)'. With the American Forces on the 20, (By the Associated Press)—The American troops in this sector attacked the German line northwest of Chateau-Thierry Quring of five-eights of a mile, driving the Ger- mans back from a pocket on the northern side of Belleau Wood. The Americans occupied the Ger- man positions without from the enemy, the Germans having bombardment infantry attack preliminary artillery that an would follow. The Germans carried their mater- jal with them in their retreat, and the Americans, therefore, did not any machine guns, nor were any pri | oners taken. One small salient is all the enemy continues to hold in Belleau Wood Washington, June 20.—Successful bombing of the German railroad ards at Conflans was reported today in General Pershing’s communique for vesterday.

Wed- Associated Italians in High Spirits, Italian Army Headquarte: Wed- nesday, June 19, (By the Associated Press)—Realization that the Austrian offensive has failed is spurring the resist- ance along the Piave. Heavy fighting continued today around the Montello plateau on the north and near San Dona di Piave on the south. On Montello, which is hilly and wooded, the opposing forces frequent- ly stumbled upon each other unex- pectedly. Such meetings always re- sult in sharp encounters. The spirit of the Italian troops is at high pitch despite wounds, loss of sleep and constant movements made necessary by the conditions of the terrain at several points. Staff Deserts Von Kronstadt.

Believes Austria On Last Legs. Paris, June 20.—The splendid re- sistance of the Italians and their Franco-British allies leads the French press to conclude that the Austrians cannot avoid defeat, especially as well directed counter-attacks have result- ed in the capture of thousands prisoners and much war material. A Havas despatch from Rome says Italy has achieved a great double victory, alluding to the recent naval exploit in the Adriatic and the pres- ent checking of the Austrians. Late in March, says the Echo De Paris, von Hindenburg demanded that Austrian divisions be sent to the French front. Field Marshal Conrad von Hoetzendorff, supported by Em- peror Charles, assured the German leader that an Austrian offensive against Italy would have a great chance of success and would be re- ceived joyfully by the dual monarchy. This point of view was finally accept- ed by the German supreme command. nemy Lines.
