Buccess apparently has crowned the offensive of the Italians in the moun- ins north of the Venetian plains. Launched on Saturday, the attack on the Austrian lines has gained rugged heights where the enemy was strongly entrenched, and the fighting is still going on. Vienna admits a retirement to “prepared positions,” which is the expression used in official statements to mean that an enemy blow has off the power, and the ship kept on her way despite the great holes torn by the torpedo, not beginning to slow down until the water rushed into the boiler room, extinguishing the fires.

The alarm was given at 12.24 a, m. in Paris and the “all clear” was sounded at 12.59. It is officially announced that there is nothing to report on the raid. DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS OF THE SHIPPING BOARD J. H. Rosseter Virtually Drafted Into the Government Service. ’ ‘Washington, July 1.—J. H. Rosse- ter, vice president and general man- ager of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, today was appointed direc- tor of operations of the shipping board. Mr. Rosseter virtually was drafted into the government service, according to a statement by Chairman Hurley. He has been given time to adjust his private business and will assume his duties September 15. Mr. Rosseter will devote all his time to the new work. He was appointed because of his familiarity with Ori- ental as well as European shipping conditions. Mr. Rosseter twenty years ago was chiefly instrumental in establishing the first regular steam- ship service between San Francisco and the ports on the west coast of South America. In addition to his practical experi- ence in ship operations he has had opportunity to familiarize himself with governmental war requirements as a member of the port and harhor com- mission. He will succeed as director of operations Edward F. Carry, who resigned to become chairman of this commission. SEVEN HOUR DAY FCR GOVERNMENT CLERKS Congress Votes Down Legislative gained important ground. Three Days of Struggling in Mountains After three days of struggling in the mountains, the Italians are still ham- mering hard at the most powerful and the enemy. They have not only gained ground but they have held it against desperate counter-attacks by the Austro-Hun- garian forces, which were mown down by artillery fire and completely check- threatening positions of ed by the Italian infantry. The Vienna admission that the Aus- “Stemple Woods” was therefore without signifi- trian line runs through Those above decks be- gan climbing into them in good order. But many were unable to reach the boats, and the ship was sinking rap- idly. They jumped into the sea, and a few of them were picked up. According to information received by the Canadian Red Cross here, Ma- jor Lyon, from the Llanovery Castle was forced to stand in the conning tower, despite an injured foot, while the German submarine officers ques- tioned him. The Germans insisted that Major Lyon was an aviation offi- (e_\ri despite the officer's strenuous de- nials. Rider Requiring Eight Hours. Washington, July 1.—Congress elim- inated a legislative rider requiring government clerks to work eight hours a day instead of seven from the legislative, executive a»d jueficial ap- propriation bill today. efter President Wilson had vetoed the measure be- cause of the provision Salary increases for the clerks of $120 a year to meet the increased cost of living were left unchanged. The president took the position, that, having asked private emplovers: cance, but as the positions held by the Austrians before the Italian at- tack began were above the forest line it wottid seem that the enemy has been ousted from the higher grcund he formerly held and thus place at a disadvantage in the fighting to come. The Italian attack was seemingly plannéd with care. On the right of the flank of General Diaz's forces is the Brenta river, which affords some pro- tection against a flanking attack. On the left there are two deep valleys which also lend themselves admirably to the tactics adopted by the Italians. British Hospital Ship Sunk. The British hospital ship Liandovery Castle, bound from a Canadian port for England, has been sunk without warning by a German submarine while boat. The Germans even threatened to shoot Major Lyon, contending that he was an officer of the righting unit, rot a medical officer. The captain’s boat, containing the survivors, was picked up by the de- strover Lysander, the commander of which has reported that he -had found no trace of the remaining five boats. Twelve Sisters Drowned. One boat in which there were twelve sisters was seen to capsize. The sisters were thrown out drowned directly or caught beneath the A Canadian sergeant, who was in the same boat, managed to crawl on the keel. Nothing Seen of Remaining Five Boats.

When an effort to override the veto failed in the house, the bill promptly was repassed without the rider an similar action in the senate followed. The senate, however added an amend- ment_extending the salary advances to employes paid from lump sum ap- propriations. This later was accept- ed by the house and the measure now goes back to the president. EUGENE V.

Germans Are Active Before American Lines Around Chateau Thierry. Washington, July 1.—Resumption of the German offensive on the svest front is now expected momentarily by army officials here. General Pershing’s re- poris as well as French and British {advices from the front have shown in- creasing enemy activity day by day, indicating that the Germans are pre- paring for another assault. There is great stir and movement among the Germans before American lines around Chateau Thierry. Part of | the drive may be directed against this Awaiting Trial. Cleveland, O., July 1.—FEugene V.

WASHINGTON IS WATCHING DEVELOPMENTS IN DUSSIA. Conviction is Growing That Important Changes Are Impending. Washington, July 1—Not only in the! far north of Russia, but in Siberia and in the Ukraine the events of the past few days are of absorbing interest to | the officials in Washington, including the diplomatic body, and the conviction is growing that they forebode great and important changes in the political as well as the military status of the| whole of Russia. Though without late direct advices, officials generally accepted the press reports as conveying in rough outline some idea of the rapid development among the Russian people of a strong desire to reorganize their country on a sound constitutional basis and to overthrow the German influence. The movement in the Ukraine under General Alexieff has taken the shape | of virtual revolt against the dictator- ship created by the Germans. The volunteer army is understood to be in- tended primarily to resis further inva- sion and exploitation by the Teutons, but also is likely to be used to over- throw the government for the new state. As such a movement to be suc- dessful probably would require as- sistance from outside the outcome may b2 a renewal of the old political bonds between the Ukraine and old Russia. The manifesto through which Grand Duke Michael has addressed himself to the Russian people leaves in some doubt his ultimate designs. The fact jthat he bases his opposition to the Bolshevik on their disregard of the constitutional rights of the constituent assembly, however, encourages the Red Cross on Sides of Vessel.

It was said tonight that on the senate s'de at least there probably would be strong opposition to the bill that might make it difficult for the administration to get action before the recess. No statement was forthcoming in execu- tive quarters as to whether the pres- ident plans to make immediate use of the proposed power. It is intimated, however, that he probably would await results of the strike call. ee e- o r- = It SIX LARGE COTTON MILLS IN LOWELL CRIPPLED By the Strike of Union Operatives Yesterday. i1l Lowell, Mass., July 1—Six of the large cotton mills here were crippled by the strike of union operatives to- day, and another mill, engaged in the manufacture of cottdn duck, virtually was put out of action. The strike. which was instituted by the Lowell Textile council, is for a wage increase of 5 per cent. in addition to the 10 per cent. granted by the manufacturers June 17. Mill officials estimated the number on strike at between 3,000 and 4,000. the complete operation of ring spinning, weaving, carding and loom fixing de- partments. This shortage necessarily affected other departments and by the close of the day the production bal- ance was more or less disturbed. It was admitted by the manufacturers that such a condition if continued woulq lead to a complete shutdown be- fore the end of the week. The mills will open again tomorrow in an effort to induce union workers to return. The mills are working largely on gov- ernment orders. al A Conference at Manchester. Manchester, N.
