This was followed by word that Russian artillery had fired and routed German staff headquarters on the Eastern front. At home great pressure to defeat the food lobby and clear the way for the food contro! bill divided attention with the closing drive for Liberty loan subscriptions, pleas for Red Cross contributions and a nation-wide round-up of slackers. That the latter are not so numerous as was at first thought proved gratifying to all Americans The kalser’s undersea pirates sank another American steamer, and the fate of half its crew is still unannounced. The espionage bill, which has taken so much unneces- sary time in congress, was passed by the senate, and has gone to the president for his signature Appeal for a bitlion dollars—haif to be used immediately was made for adequate preparation to enable America to decide the war favorably in the air. Chances that American troops will be detained in this country for months because of a lack of ships to transport and provision them at the same time that the allies are pro- visioned and munitioned, loomed large. kis: PETROGRAD, June 12. to the as decl Phe ued by our artillery,” the has set of Meeristrki, Russian art Peutonic eadquarters in 1 the official repor there office from the fled asserted office as a village” militar war Meerishki w the war e miles north of Tveretct ALLIES MEET SLAV DEMANDS FOR STATEMENT OF WAR AIMS By Lowell Mellett LONDON, June 12.—It is now up to Russia.
