Republic, after the capture of SIctzeral,
drove the Teutons to the enst bank of,
tho river In a successful movement ad
mitted by Berlin. The movement has
resulted In the capture of Bondcrnach,
a few miles from Metzeral. The line
of march of tho French troops leads to
JtUnster, tho next objective.
Tho operations in Alsace, although
covered with some mystery by the
French authorities, are considered of
tho highest strategic Importance, Binco
tho French lino of march leads directly
to tho German fortress of Kolmnr, on
tho Fecht, the key to the German de
fenses on tho Ithlno and thence to Frei

forts defending tho southwestern gate
to tho Empire.
In an announcement by the War
omco the assertion made In Berlin re
ports to the effect that French attacks

is most emphatically denied. On the
contrary, the War Office Insists that the
French have made additional gains In
their drive on Lens and Vlrny and
that fierce German counter-attacks
have been successfully repulsed at
many points.

Boys Interfere.
A platbon of rheumatic crabs limped
across Coluriibll avenue today, the only
survivors of a Jitney collision.
Most of them were Bloomy and crnbbd,
lo soy the least, nnd the old habit the
world has of "kicking a fellow when he's
down-' was aaln lit evidence, for the
struggling victims were tossed about the
asphalt street by a crowd of youngsters
The crustaceans had hobbled all the .

from Mth nnd Diamond streets, where
their master, James le, a vendor, was ,
tiushtnir them In a baby cnrrlAxe. when
the Jitney, driven by James Oeorse V

crabs' coaching party at broadside and i
hit Lee.
Tho crabs, which were on their way '

Ex-Attorney General John C.
Bell Says Professor Insulted

A slighting remark nbout the Episcopal
Academy was the renson John C Hell,
one of the t'nlverslty of Pennsylvania
trustees, voted against the retention of
Scott Nearing at the Wharton School,
according to a statement Issued by Mr.
UMI coincident with the publication by
students of a resolution of protest ngilnst
his dismissal.
Harrison II. Morris, nn executor of
the estate of Joseph Wharton, founder
of the Whnrton School, answered the
charge of Mr. I3ell within a short time
after It became public. He said the re
mark attributed to Mr. Nenrlng hnd been
mnde In the privacy of Dean McCren'je
office. None other was present In addi
tion to these two but a deficient student.
Tho statement of Mr. Bell, In part, fol
lows: "I voted ngnlnst the re-employment of
Dortor Ncarlng. I did so In the discharge
of my duty ns trustee, because I believed
that the good of the service, and of the
unlvctslty required me so to do, nnd be
cause of the professorial utterances in
tho University unbecoming a teacher nnd
ngalnst the best Interests of the institu
tion and Its student body.
"I shall not enter Into detail further

IIOMK, Juno 23.
The Austrlnn fortress of Malborghetto
Is npw practically surrounded, Italian
Alpinists have captured nearly nil tho
positions around tho town, which Is
undergoing a terrific bombardment.
North of Gorltz an Italian machine
gun squndron crept through the woods
and Inflicted he.ivy losses on an advanc
ing column of 30,000 Austrians.
Heavy snows In the heights whero the
Italians are advancing against the Aus
trians are proving a sevefeTbandlcap to
the troops of King Victor Emmanuel.
This has resulted In almost a complete
cessation of operations In the, higher
mountains. On the lower level, according
to latest reports from, the front, the op
posing forces are engaged In a great ar
tillery duel. The Italians have reached
the massive steel and concrete defenses
constructed by the Austrian's; and It will
be necessary to reduce thesf.J)efore the
advance is resumed.
In these operations th"Itallan avia
tors are proving of tho greatest help
spying out the hidden forts of the enemy
and directing upon them n rain of shells.
The Italian artillery is proving highly
efficient, the Improved guns secretly per
fected in the Government plants master
ing those of the Austrians.
The Austrians have brought troops
from the Gallclan front, according to the
latest official gtntement from the, War
Office, which telle of the defeat of one
of three organizations at Monte Nero.
On tho lower Jsonro the Italians have
strengthened their positions and have
repulsed attacks on their Plava positions.
Tho official statement follows;
"Thorughout yesterday the enemy con
fined his activity to long-distance artillery
duels along the whole front.
"At Monte Nera our troops attacked and
repulsed for the first time ,.,battallgn of
Austrian Alpine troops Just arrived from
the Gsllclun front.
"Ntght attacks with Intense artillery

"nn the lower Isonzo we have strength

"The flood caused by the enemy along
the Monfalcone Canal, though decreasing.
Is still an Important obstacle to opera

within our lines, but did up damage."

WlIATtTON BARKER'S PROTEST.
In a letter to Provost Smith, under data
of April 5, made public today, Whnrton
Marker, ono of tho trustees of the Unl
vcislty nnd one-tlmo Populist nominee
for President, staunchly defended Doctor
Ncarlng nnd Intimated that tho Univer
sity sought to get rid-of those who were
not in accord with its Ideas. Free speech,
ho said, wns evidently not permitted any
longer at tho institution. He also charged
that the attacks launched 'on Doctor
Nenrlng were Inspired by capital, not
because of his original ideas on religion
and economic conditions.
Mr. Barker, referring to the notion
taken by George Wharton Pepper and J.
Levering Jones on the dismissal of Doc
tor Nearing, said that if the University
noted in accordance with their vlows
(which he believod was Impossible), Jews,
Unitarians and other dissenters would bo
driven from tho Unlveisity.
New York dispatches today quote sev
eral University of Pennsivnnlu alumni
members iih caring little about tho dis
missal of Ncarlng. William A. Redding,
president of tho General Alumni Society
of the University, nnd William Guggen
heim treasurer of the New York Penn
sjlvanl.i Club, are among those who are
Inclined to support tho trustees.
PETITION BY ALUMNI.
Albert Journeay, football star, and J. E.
Meredith, track men: Homer E. Sullivan,
ono of last year's editors of the Pennsyl
vanlan, and Edgar Cope, Jr., of tho Uni
versity Civic Club, are circulating a peti
tion among 'he alumni to have the mem
bers of the latter organization protest to
Provost Smith.
Another committee of 20 men has been
formed nnd has drawn up n letter to bo
sent to tho provost and trustees Pro
fessor Samuel McCune Lindsay, of
.Columbia University, who made an In
vestigation Monday in uehair or the
American Association of University Pro
fessors, gave out tho following state
ment:
"I am going to write to the Provost
demanding that he resign as head of
the University becnuse of Neaiing's dis
missal In disregard of the faculty rec
ommendation and without consultation
with the vice provost. The case of
Nenrlng is a strikingly good one on
which to drive squarely home this mat
ter of mlsadmlnlstratlon. There is a
man In Pennsylvania to whom Near
Ing's child labor views wero particularly
obnoxious. This man threatened to de
feat Brumbaugh, and after Brumbaugh
was elected Governor he came to Brum
baugh's olllce and told him that If things
were not run to suit, and Nearing sup
pressed, he would flght to cut off tho
university's annual appropriation In the
Legislature, This man was kicked out of
the qovernor's office. Afterward he wrote
to a trustee of the university, making
threats about what would happen If
Nearing was allowed to go on."
BROILING STEAK ON FIRE
Squattcrtown wns wiped off tho map
oi Camden today by n gang of 100 lnbor
ers nnd a scoro cC policemen. Its passing
marks the end of considerable trouble,
for tho colony was tho rendezvous of
petty criminals, drunknrds and general
trouble-makers. Those that tried to do
right soon became victims of the general
environment and led a Inzy existence
Led by Highway Commissioner Albert
Saytrs. tho Invaders attacked the home-,
mado shanties with picks and axes and
dropped them In tho Delaware at the foot
of Spruco street, which has been for CO
years tho squatters' district.
Tho twoscoro of residents, who wero
defiant until thoy saw the attacking party
appronch, grabbed up their scant belong
ings nnd ran for parts unknown. Whero
they will camp next la a matter of con
jecture. Whllo It Is true that there were many
women among tho Inhabitants, there Is
little sorrow in Camden, because tho
colonists hnvo been told repeatedly to
get out. When they uero notified yes
ttrday afternoon by Commissioner Saycrs,
thoy lenored the order, nnd there wns
general consternation when they realized
the commissioner meant business.
Alt of tho shacks were built on the
city's ground by the squatters themselves.
They believed In durability, too, for In
mnny cases It wns necessary to uso
horses to pull the shacks apart.

LONDON, June E Dy MalD.-Wlnston
Churchill, retiring First Lord of the Ad
miralty, In n remarkable speech to his
constituents at Dundee today strongly de
fended his conduct of the Admiralty and
made a strong plea for combined action
on the part of Englishmen at homo to
rally to the support of their brothers on
sea and land who nre fighting tho great
est war the world has ever known.
Probably the most striking part of Mr.
Churchill's speech was that In which ho
predicted a victory In tho Dardanelles,
when he said that only a fow miles sepa
rated the Anglo-French forces from a
victory that would havo further reaching
consequences than any action heretofore
contemplated.
Mr. Churchill, In speaking of tho great
volunteer army that Lord Kitchener has
organized, numbering now more than
3,000,000 men, declared that If Englishmen
could do this, more than America could
do In her great civil war. then the time
wub far off when Drltaln would havo to
resort to compulsion to reach tho highest
efficiency of her fighting forces at home
and abrond
Concernlnc the naval situation. Mr.
Churchill said:
"The terrible dangers of tho beginning
of the war arc over. The seas have been
swept clear; the submarino menaco Iiob
been fixed within definite limits; tho per
sonal ascendency of our men, the superior
quality of our ship? on tho high seas
have been established beyond doubt or
question; our strength has greatly in
creased, nctually and relatively, from
what It was In tho beginning of the war,
and It grows continually every day by
leaps and bounds In all the classes of
vessels needed for tho Bpecial purpose of
tho war. Between now nnd the end or
tho year the BrltlBh navy will receive re
inforcements which would bo incredlblo
if they were not actual facts."

NO CRIMINAL AIDE FOR LANGE
Warden McKenty Shields His "Boys"
From Amazon Jungle Perils.
No decent, self-respecting criminal or
reformed crook residing nt tho Eastern
Penitentiary, or formerly domiciled there,
will bo permitted to go traipsing with
Algot Lango through the Jungles of tho

vont It. It seems that Lange, tho Danish
explorer, has been on a search for an I
iron-ncrved, stecl-constltutloncd nnd 1
wholly fcnrless companion to accompany '
ihlm on an expedition through tho Ama- j
zon "Valley. Former nides had failed him
so signally when It came to facing tho !
pestilential fevers, venomous reptiles nnd
insects anu omer jungle beasts of South
America that the explorer concluded a
hardened lawbreaker would be about tho
only person who could face that kind of
music.
Ho sought out Warden McKenty and
begged for Just one little ordinary cast
off criminal, but was root by a flat re
fusal. "If you want to cut your way through
tho Jungles nnd flounder around In the
swamps of South America and then come

queer things you saw there, It's all right
