the situation on the Austro-Russlan front after a little more than a week since
the Slavs irresistible drive Was begun.
While the Austro-Hunenrinrfe, utterly unable to stop the wave of invasion
,whlch again threatens the Dual Jlonarchy, are swiftly driven back toward the
Carpathians, von Hindcnburg is said to have attacked the Russmn line north
efPlhsk, evidently hoping to divert Russian forces from Volhynia ,nnd Galicia
Mid compel General Brusiloff to 'abandon his southern offensive. Whether von
'Hincienburg's offensive, undertaken now with far smaller forces than in the sum
mer of lost year, will succeed in making any impression on the Russians and
compel General Kuropatkin to summon aid from the southern army of General
Brusiloff is to be seen. It may be safely assumed that the Russian Staff, fully
'meeting a renewal of the German pressure north of Pinsk, has prepared to
Bieet' the, situation.

In the meantime, while the military situation on tho Eastern front appears
to serious, the Italians are pushing their offensive movement on the Trentino
front taking advantage, of the withdrawal of Austrian troops and artillery.

tisal the Austrian pressure there has diminished.

'DOPE' USERS' FATE
HINGES ON PLEA
TO-FREE 2 MEl
Peddlihg and Possession of
Drugs Depend Upon'
Court's Decision
JURY MAY NOT GET CASE
Judge J, Whltnker Thompson In tho
United States court this afternoon w)I
probably decide whether "dope" users and
traffickers will have a free rein In Philadelphia-
as regards the use - and sale of
drugs. Upon his decision will also depend
whether 60 or more persons accused of
peddling drugs will be freed on a recent
ruling 'by the United States Supreme Court,
declaring unconstitutional section 'eight of
the Harrison anti-drug act. Section eight
provides that all persons convicted of hav
ing drugs In their possession be punished
by jgjl sentence. .
Judge Thompson win make the decision
In the cases of Robert Martin and Thomas
Rowan, on trial .before Judge Thompson,
who were arrested In a ropm at 240 North
10th street on May 5. In the room was
found nearly a bushel basket full of mor
phine, opium, cocaine and heroin and a
full "cjope," dealer's outfit, Including scales
and packages for the distribution of drugs.
Thesp thngu were exhibited to the Jury,
There was no evidence of any sale, how
ever, and Judge Thompson said he did
not see how he could send the case to
the Jury, because the Supreme Court had
ruled that the .possession of drugs did not
constitute a crime. However, on the plea
of United States District Attorney Francis
Fisher Kane he agreed to defer Tils final
decision In the case until this afternoon
to give the 'District Attorney an opportunity
to present 'further argument.
"COKE" "VICTIMS IN COURT,
The courtroom was tense while Mr, Kane
was arguing with Judge Thompson to send
the case to the Jury, Denizens of the un
derworld leaned forward to catch every,
word. They were there to see whether the
"dope" lid would be lifted from the tender
loin. There were a score or more of "dope"
victims there. The faces of' some of them
twitched nervouslyf'reveallng the grin of
the morphine habit. Others carried In their
faces the florid glow of the cocaine user.
They had the glassy eyes and enlarged
pupils of Ihe "coke" victim,
Rowan'a face was flushed a tialmon color
and he bent forward eagerly to catch every
wl.rU. Martin's face was as white as chalk,
his eyea were watery, the muscles of his
face twitched continually and he snuffled
like a man with a January cold. Frequently
his eyes closed and h snored faintly. These
catnaps would last only a few seconds.
His hands would Jerk, up suddenly like a
person's with a nervous affliction, and his
watery eyes would open.
When Judge Thompson pointed out to
the district attorney that there was no evl.
dence of a sale. Rowan turned gleefully 'to
Martin and whispered: "Bob, I think we
are going to make It" Martin snuffled,
but pd no reply-
SEIZED DRUOS SHOWN.
Both Rowan and Martin were exceedingly
nervous while Assistant District Attorney
Kremp was exhibiting to the. Jury the
"dope" confiscated from their room. Marr
tin perspired freely. There were-about 80
package of cucajne, several bottles of
morphine an heroin, and twq poxes of
smoHInsr opium. jmcriuM iuus uwhii

WEST POINT, N. Y.. June 13. "The
world Is going to know that when America
speaks .ho means what she Bays," Presi
dent Wilson told tho Mllltnry Academy
graduating class today. ,
A moment before he had said: "Un
doubtedly, gentlemen. It Is tho duty of
America to be prepared."
President Wilson promised In behalf of
the United Stntcs to uphold the Monroe
Doctrine. He promised, too, what ho did
not promise when ho made the recent Peace
League speech, that when tho time conies
America will be ready to Join the other
nations to sec that "thut kind of Justice
prevails everywhere that we believe In.
To bo military does not mean being
militaristic, the President said. He nsked
the West Point men not to forget that they
nre citizens first. ..,,. ....
Mentioning the "small number' who Ioe
their countries more than the country or
their ndoptlon ho said:
, "Nobody who doesn't put America first
can consort with us."
The Preslde'nt said:
"I look upon this body of men who nre
graduating today with a peculiar Interest.
I feel llko congratulating them that they
are living In a day not only so Interesting,
because fraught with chnngo. but also
because so responsible. Days, of responsi
bility' are the, only days that count In time,
because they are tho" only days that give
test of quality. They nre tho only days

Twenty years ago the silver-tongued

four years later fit was WJlUam J. Bryan
who made the race as Democracy's stand
