ITALIAN ARMY PLANS pfflKS SU
TO WAIT AND STRIKE .
PETItOGRAD, Juno 30.
Great German forces are continuing
their advance In tho Lublin Government
of Poland, the Russian War Office ad
mitted today.
Their attepmts to cut to pieces the
retreating Russian troops hnvo failed,
however, tho rear guards of the Czar's
troops having repulsed several attacks
made by the pursuing Teutons.
Hard fighting between Russians retreat
ing from tho Dniester and the German
army nnd command of General von Lin
slngen has resulted In tremendous losses
for the Germans, according to tho latest
retorts from Grnnd Duke Nicholas, the
.Russian commander-in-chief.
Ills report follows:
In the Bhavli region weak German at
tacks were repulsed.
"There Is a lull on the Nlomen, Narew
and left bank of the Vistula.
"Tho advance of great enemy forces on
tho fr"rtt between the sources of tho
River Vleprz nnd west of the Bug In the
Lublin Government continues. Our renr
guard positions, In the Tomaszow region
on Sunday nnd Monday repulsed sovcral
German attacks.
"Tho hostile army on tho Dniester
front, reinforced by fresh German troops
quite recently brought into this region,
ecught with most desperate attacks from
the UukaBZowlce-Martlnow front to
throw Into confusion our retirement to
ward the Gnlla Llpa River, but failed,
suffering onormoua losses."
Though the Russian armies are re
treating before the Austro-German ad
vance, their lino Is still Intact. The
further the Germanic forces move from
their bases the more difficulty they will
have in maintaining communications, and
their advance will necessarily become
slower.
The fear that they will be enabled to
withdraw part of their strength to re
sist the Allies on the Western front would
ecm to bo groundless, for the pursuit by
the Germans Is such that. If relaxed, tho
Russians, reinforced, will again over
whelm Gallcla.
All the Russian army Is out of Gallcla
except In tho extreme eastern part around
Brody and Tarnopol. The line of the
Guila Llpa has been abandoned and tho
Russians are -withdrawing from the upper
Bug River. This withdrawal has been
conducted with wonderful strategy along
a front of 250 miles without losing touch
In any part, fighting a stubborn rear
guard action all the time and tailing an
enormous number of prisoners, which, ac
cording to an Austrian estimate, amounts
to 40.000 men, in the counter-attacks
around Lemberg alone slnco June 23.
Itllltary experts here say this reflects the
greater credit on the ability of the Grand
kDuke Nicholas and tho other Russian
commanders.

BERLIN. June 30.
The army of General von Llnslngen,
which has been so strongly opposed by

GERMANS REPULSE FRENCH
ATTACKS, RERUN REPORTS
Enemy Beaten Back on Meuse
Heights, Statement Avers.
BERLIN, June 30.
The repulse of four fierce attacks by
the French on the heights of the Meuse
is officially reported In a statement from
the War Office. It stated that the
French were trying desperately to win
back the ground they had lost there. Tho
official bulletin says:
"Near Arras the enemy was not very
active. The Germans made further pro
gress In expelling the enemy from
trenches taken by tho French during tho
last few weeks.
"Charges of the French ngalnst our
position at the Labyrinth and north of
1'cuarl wore repulsed. Upon the helghto
of the Meuse and west of Les Eparges
tho enemy has tried In vain with a series
of charges that have been uninterrupted
during the last four days to win back
positions tnken by our troops at the
point of the bayonet
"Yesterday the enemy made four very
violent attacks, all of lch were re
pulsed." BERLIN KEPT INFORMED
OF U. S. SHIP SAILINGS
WASHINGTON. June 30.
The United States Government has
adopted the practice of notifying the
German Admiralty, through Ambassador
Gerard, of tho time of departure of every
passenger ship sailing the American flag
and approximately the hours during
which it will pass through the "war
zone."
This precaution Is being taken In order
that German submarine commanders
may be on the watch for American
vessels and prevent a repetition of the
attack on the American steamer Gulf-light.
MIDDY SAYS ACCUSED CADETS
HAVE SUFFERED INDIGNITIES
Have Not Had Fair Chanco to Defend
Themselves, Ono Testifies.
ANNAPOLIS, June SO. That the cadets
recommended for dismissal from the
Naval Academy on account of charges of
examination "cribbing" had not had a
fair chanco to defend themselves was
charged by Midshipman Moss before tho
court of Inquiry today. "We were con
fined below the waterllne ort the Relna.
Mercedes," he said, "with artificial light
and ventilation and have been subjected
to many indignities by different officers.
All this had Its effect on us and pre
vented up from preparing our defense) as
well as we might."

. Admiral Fullam has reported to Secre
tary Daniels concerning the Investigation.

would be thorough.

ROME, June 30.
Fresh plans for the resistance of the
Italian Invasion of Austria have been
made at an Austrian war council, which
was dominated by Crown Prince Rup
precht, of Bavaria, one of the ablest gen
erals In tho German army, according to
Information received by tho newspaper
Idea Nazlonale.
The council of war was held at Inns
bruck last Thursday nnd lasted nil day.
The chief question under discussion was
how to stop tho rush of the Italian army
in ircnt. while the decision Is unknown,
enough transpired to authorise tho state
ment that the territory below Botzen wilt
be abandoned by the Austrian defenders.
The dofense will begin Immediately south
of Botzen, where the second line defenses
of the Austrlans begin.
The rapid occupation of tho peaks dom
inating the passes into Italy by the Ital
ian rorces upsot the original plans of the
Austrian General Staff, for It had been bo
lleved that the natural fortifications, so
well equipped with heavy guns, would
prove nn Insurmountable barrier to tho
Invaders.
In addition to Crown Prince Rupprcoht,
tho council of war was attended by Crown
Prince Charles Francis Joseph of Aus
tria nnd many generals of tho German
nnd Austrian armies. 'When tho meeting
broke up Crown Prince Rupprecht left
on a special train, which sped nwav to
ward the battle front In France, whero
the Bavarian Crown Prince Is command
ing tho German troops that have so long
withstood tho sledge-hammer blows of
the French nround Arras.
Tho concentration of Austrian and Hun
garian troops abovo Toblach continues,
many German trains being Bent Into
Austria to help In the work.
The greatest Interest hero Is attached
to tho visit of Premier Bnlandrn to gen
eral headquarters, where he conferred
with King Victor Emmanuel. According
to one of tho rumors which have fol
lowed tho conference, Turkey has matlo
representations to the Italian Govern
ment asking It to uso Its good offices to
secure nn early peace. In view of the
counter-reports to tho effect that Italy
Is ready to take the field against Turkey,
this rumor Is not generally credited.
v.rtr,ri (n save tho life of Kenneth
Eaton, 18 years old, of 8310 Osage avenue,
fatally Injured by a fall from an auto
truck, by transfusion of blood from his
brother Harold, proved unavailing, the
youth dying nt the Jewish Hospital about
noon today.
Young Eaton, who was employed by P.
B. Sharpless & Co., butter nnd egg deal
r. At thlr West Philadelphia branch,
was riding on a heavy truck belonging
to the firm last night. At Harrison and
Montgomery avenues young Eaton Jumped
off the moving vehicle and fell forcibly on
his head and chest. Ho wns taken to the
Jewish Hospital, where ho was found to
have suffered a fracture of the skull and
Internal Injuries.
Considerable loss of blood from hem
orrhages so weakened tho young man
that physicians declared transfusion was
the only hope of saving his life. His
brother volunteered to mako the sacri
fice. Tho operation wns scarcely under
way beforo the Injured man succumbed.
Tho mother of the youth was also ready
to arlve blood for her son, and stood at
his bedside with bared arms waiting the
call of the surgeon. Dr. Nathaniel Gins

MILAN, June 30. The Italian artillery

A similar achievement distinguished

NEW YORK, Juno 30.-Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, nt tho Adirondack camp of her
dancing partner, Jnclc Clifford, today was
served with a subpoena to bo a witness
for tho State In her husband's sanity trial
before Justice Hendrlck and a Jury In tho
Supreme Court here. She will go to New
York July 6 to testify, It Is understood.
Dr. Charles K. Mills, a University of
(Pennsylvania alienist, tho last Thaw wit
ness to be examined bofore the caso was
turned over to tho Stato, sworo that ho
believed Thaw is sane.
"Harry K. Thaw is genuinely sorry that
Iho killed Stanford White, and ho was
sorry a moment after the shooting," de
clared Doctor Mills.
"A paranoiac never expresses regret for
his deed of violence, because ho always
believes his act Justified."
Thaw believes that Evelyn wants to
keep him In Mntteawan so ho cannot
make a will cutting her off, Doctor Mills
asserted. Tho alienist said Thaw told
him that he firmly believed that was the
motive behind her wish to provent him
gaining his liberty.
Deputy Attorney General Becker cross
examined Doctor MIUb with vigor. Tho
alienist declared Thaw told him that he
believed tho State's attorneys and alien
ists tried to "railroad" him to Matteawan
during the first murder trial In 1807.
Becker attempted to draw from tho alien
ist that Thaw believed a conspiracy ox
Istcd between the authorities and the
alienists to put him away, but Doctor
Mills refused to let It go Into tho record
with that wording, saying, "No, I didn't
put It that way."
During a lengthy examination about
heredity, he said Insanity could be handed
down from parents to children. ( He
added that In his various examinations of
Thaw he had found no trace of Insanity.
He said that even If there had been cases
of mental defect In the Thaw family, It
would not affect Harry unless It showed
Itself In his parents. Mental defects In
nn uncle or aunt, said the alienist, would
not affect the child
Attorney Stanchfield announced at 3
o'clock that Thaw would rest his case.
The State would not divulge who its
first witness would e, but It was re
ported that Cook plans to put the pris
oner's mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw,
on the stand at the outset. Cook hopes
to prove by her that the slayer of White
Is affected by hereditary Insanity.
Thaw himself will be the State's main
witness. His examination by Cook prob
ably will be the last thing before tho
lawyers sum uo the case.
Justice Hendrlck today delivered
another scathing rebuko to New York
newspapers for the manner In which they
are handling the trial. He mentioned
specifically one morning paper whloh
printed an Interview with Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw.today.
"I cannot conceive," Bald Justice
Hendrlck, "of how the editor of that
paper could have allowed such a story
from the woman we ell know bo much
about 'to be printed that she was coming
Into this court to tell me my business
and to tell these 13 men their duty.
"The law has invested In me the power
to stop these practices and unless they
are stopped immediately I shall exercise
that power."

UDINB, Italy, June 30. No really great
battlo lg possible along tho Austro
Italian frontier for many weeks. Troops
ore pressing forward occupying positions
of vantage; Important preliminary fight
ing Is oocurrlng almost dally, but Italy
Is not yot ready to launch her great
smash to win back Trentlno and Trieste.
Tho man who leads tho Italian armies
has tho satisfaction or knowtnir that
tho men behind at Itome know what Is
going on nt tho front. King Victor
Ilmmnnuel Is continuing his tour of the
battle line; Premier Salandra Is showing
the greatest Interest In the conduct of
tho campaign and other administrative
heads are planning trips to the front.
Tho Prime Minister passed through here
Sunday In a private car en routo to head
quarters. MEN" FItOM UNITBD STATES.
Tho Italian army quartered hero Is com.
posed of tho biggest men physically I
have seen In any army. Through many
of the regiments nro distributed Italians
from Amerlcn, cheery follows, with a love
of fighting. One of thorn waved his hand
at mo and yelled; "Oh, you kid."
Correspondents nro absolutely barred
from general headquartors. Officials told
mc, "You must get out of Udlno or sub
mit to arrest. General Cadorna's secre
tary put It n llttlo differently.
"If you stay hero you run the risk of
being shot," ho said then smilingly "tho
Italian army won't bo ready for corre
spondents for montJis."
Thoro has been no delay In moving the
Italian armies to the front. Mobilization
went forward with clock-llko precision.
Italian troops marched over tho frontier
nnd seized points of strategic Importance
within a fortnight after tho declaration
of war. But General Cadorna Is deter
mined that when the Italian offensive
Btarts rolling down upon Austria, every
thing shall bo In readiness. Italy Is not
"going oft half-cocked."
Tho Italian losses in tno preliminary
skirmishing have been very light. Every,
where along the frontier I saw magnlfl
cently furnished, but Idle, Hcd Cross
trains. Tho hospitals at yenlce. In Udlno
and elsewhero near tho firing lino are
practically empty.
GUNNERS ACCURATE.
Tho Italian commanders nro elated nt
the brilliant performances of their troops
to dato. The accuracy of the Italian gun
nery In particular has occasioned sur
prise. At Monfalcone, for Instance, large
guns are hurling shells 12 miles over a
mountain peak a mile high with won
derful effectiveness, crashing upon the
Austrian forts, every shot counting.
General Lulgl Cadorna. Commandcr-Jn-Chlef
of the Italian armies, la a maBter
of details. Often ho directs as many as
20 small battles simultaneously, moving
armies like pawns across a chess board.
And In the midst of all this maze of
duties General Cadorna does not negleot
his religious duties. He goes to Mass
every Sunday.

TT IS instructive to learn from the U. S. Department
of Agriculture that never before have brewers,
malsters, distillers and wine-makers made so large a
contribution to the agricultural prosperity of the nation
as during the fiscal year 1013.
WHAT the liquor industry means to the Farmer can
be appreciated, when it is shown that in 1013 grain
and other farm products to the enormous value of
$113,513,071 were used in the manufacture of liquors;
and this was the actual amount received by grain grow
ers, pot counting the largely-increased value and profits
reported in the markets of Chicago and other dis
tributing grain centers.
