Powerful Counter-Thrust by
Germans on Six-Mile
Front Repulsed
LONDON, June 9,
King George today telegraphed Field
Marshal Halg to express to General
Plumcr, the general directly in com
mand of the biff drive, his "pride in the
achievement by which in n few hour
the enemy was driven out from a
strongly entrenched position held by
Mm fpr two and a half years."
LONDON, June 9
Field Marshal Halg switched Ills nttnek
from Belgium to the Arras front Inst night,
gaining more than ljalf a mlln of ground.
This new success for llrltlsh arms was
announced by tho Wnr Office today.
The assault was mado south of tho
8ouchez Klver over a front of nioro tlinn
two miles.
At a number of places alone this wide
fighting lino the British smashed their way
Into Oerman trenches, Inflicting heavy losses.
This gain for the llrltlsh Is putting the
Lens sector of the German linn In a shape of
a salient which will make tho capturo of
Lens easier for tho British.
In the meantime tho ground gained In
Flanders Is being maintained A powerful
German attack directed over si front of six
miles, covering all tho line Just won by tho
great British drive In Belgium, was com
pletely broken down by British fire, Field
Marshal Halg reported today
"At 1 o'olock yesterday evening, after
heavy artlllerylng, tho enemy powerfully
attacked on tho whole of tho now front,"
Halg reported, "south of Yprcs from St.
Yves to north of Yprcs and tho Cornmlnes
Canal a distance of six miles. Thn attack
broke down at midnight nlung tho whole
line.
"Tho fighting was particularly llcrco cast
of Messlncs and nlsn In thn neighborhood
of Klelnzlllebekl," Halg continued "We re
tain all ground gained and tho enemy's
losses were heavy
"From south of Lens and La Hasseo
operations wore carried out with complete
success on a 'wide front South of tho
Souchez wo entered German position on a
front oflnoro than two miles and a depth
of moro than half a mile. Indicting heavy
casualties on the enemy Our wero light.
"South of the Souchoz River, southeast of
Loos and southwest of La Ilasseo large
numbers of Germans were killed nnd there
was great damage dono to their defenses."
About 7000 Germans, moro than 130 of
them officers, have been captured Already
twenty German guns have boen collected.
In cases where ammunition was taken along
with tho batteries, the guns were turned
Upon German positions.
The "Ypres salient,1' now wiped out In
the British advance, was formerly con
sidered so Impregnable by tho enemy that
not neat; the number of men were held
'there that manned the stronger fortified
positions elsewhere on the front.
But with tho Messlnes-Wytschaete ridge
now held by the British the "Impregnablo
.position" taken It was pointed out today
that from now on Germany must keep nn
unusually strong force always opposite the
Ypres sector because, of the menaco to--ward
Lille. The British victory, therefore.
Is not alono Important In tho ground gained,
the commanding strateglo position on the
ridge now held, but also because It will
further deplete the reserve strength of tho
enemy, by the necessity of tho Germans
massing forces around Lille
f ,f SOUCHEZ LINES WON

BERLIN, Juno 9.
,3f Fresh enemy attacks on both banks of
t the Ypres-Commlnes Canal failed to give
"" the British any advantage, nnd In tho Sou

"In the evening there was fresh flght-

Indicted for Defying
. Draft Registry Law
Continued from 7ax One
according to Garbarlno's assertions today,
they'thlnk they havo evidence to convict a
number of the men to whom registration
receipts were Intrusted.
"I do not know whether tho cards wero
old," said Garbarlno. "But I do know that
they were given out Illegally."
"This Is only tho beginning of tho Gov
ernment's probe," said United States Dis
trict Attorney Kane. "We nro going to
lft this corruption to tho bottom."
Twenty laggard registrants were listed
today at the Registration Commission's
headquarters, which will be open until 9
o'clock tonight
Mayor Smith has Issued a further np
'peal to any and all Fhlladelphlans who as
yet have failed to register to do so be
fore 9 o'clock tonight, when the doors close
and the work of arresting and prosecuting
lackers will begin.
The Mayor said that slackers will be
dealt with with an Iron hand. In empha
sising the .fact that after, today those who
have failed to 'place themselves on record
as they should will face one year's Impris
onment, after which they will be forced to
register.
'Work of tabulating the registration fig
ures In each ward still continues, and less
than a dozen districts have completed their
totals. These will again be changed after
today's result is added to the figures gain-

NEW PEACE LURE
"Go to Petrograd," Com
mander Tells Austrians,
and Arrests Two
VIENNA BEHIND MOVE
PETROG'nAD, June 9.
Four regiments of the Seventh Rus
slnn nrmy refused to obey orders of
their officers today. One additional
regiment was reported to have arrested
its own officers. Minister of War
Kcrensky ordered arrest of all responsi
ble for the Incident. They will be court
martialed. By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
I'CTHOGllAU. June !
How much sanction thn Austrian General
Rohr had In his umnzlng scheme to effect
. ., (...i.i...
a separate peace nriwccn ins uw
troops and tho Huslnns was tho subject
of tho greatest conjecture today. Full de
tails of tho manner In which the peaco pro
posal was made were rcrclwd nt the War
Office.
Three weeks ago General Rohr selected
two peaco delegates from every division of
Austrian troops on his particular part of
tho fiont 120 men In nil. The delegates,
according to papers In possession of the
Russian Wnr Olllee, Included nn Austrian
prime.
Early this week these 120 Austrians
bearing white flags and blowing bugles, ad
vanced to tho Russian lines tho Russians
respecting the whlto flag and mooting tho
enemy, unarmed, in front of the trenches
There tho Austrian spokesman outlined the
plan for a cessation of hostilities without
waiting for mere governmental action
"If you want pcaro. go to l'etrngrad,'
declared the commander of the Russian
troops. Ho forbade his men further dis
cussing the mattei nnd sent nil of the Aus
trians, except tho prlnco nnd ono other,
under n military escort buck to the Aus
trian lines.
On tho two Austrians detained, the War
Olllcp declared today, were found papers
Including orderH for every Austrian regi
ment to effect a peaco agreement with the
opposing Russian regiments
From the care with which this Austrian
peace Idea had been worked out, and tho
fact that tho Austrian general was frankly
named ns ono of the sponsors for tho move
ment, officials hero bellei tho whole plan
was engineered by tho Austrian Govern
ment. CZAR MORE FIRMLY GUARDED
On account of tho Inllux of summer resi
dents Into the Tsarskoc-Selo, additional
measures have been taken to guard ex
Czar Nicholas and his family from possible
Indiscretions
Tho ex-Czar Is permitted to tnko exercise
only two hours dally, In tho morning and
ecnlng. A military escort follows his
moements at a distanco not exceeding
twenty-five paces Tho children take their
outing separately. Tho former Czar and
Czarina have to appear at a window twice
dally. In order that an officer of tho guard
may bo ablo to seo them A triple cordon
of troops surrounds the palace grounds
At a meeting of the labor section of the
Petrograd commltteo it was resolved to de
mand tho transfer of tho ex-Czar nnd his
family to tho prison of Kronstadt Two
Socialist Ministers who have returned
from that town describe the prisons where
tho ex-Mlnistcrs uro confined nnd formed
the Impression that no undue harlshlp was
imposed.
200 GIRLS TO JOIN ARMY

grad Technical Institute have entered their
names nn the rolls of a female regiment
which Is being raised by Ensign Butch

karcff'H plan. Last night the women war
riors held their first meeting.

1'eroyaslav district of Little Russia Ho
has refused even to permit tho district to

U. S. CAN RULE AIR,
SAY ALLIED EXPERTS
Britain and France Strongly
Urge Great Increase in Amer
ican Aviation Powei
WASHINGTON. June .
America can rule tho air. Tho balance
of power In aircraft Is In tho hands of the
United States Government, should It see
fit to uso It. ,
it became known today, Immediately fol
lowing tho arrival of the 100 naval aviators
In France, thnt tho Allied Governments are
strongly urging the War and Navy Depart
ments to put forth as strenuous efforts In
tho building nnd equipping of a new na-
tlonul aviation corps ns they nro putting
Into tho construction of tho national army.
Thousands of American aviators will
swarm over Europo within a few months,
if tho wishes of tho Allies are fulfilled. It
was learned today.
Military members of tho French nnd
British missions and permanent commis
sions hero hae explained tho situation as
follows:
England and France are the largest sup
porters of aerial warfare on the sldo of
the Allies. Thcso two nations together can
turn out mnchlnes for wnr In the nlr only
a little, If any, faster than Germany. Tho
result Is that the control of the nlr, over
the European battlefields, is continually
changing.
America, with her great resources and
organized manufactories, can turn out
more machines than the Allies and Ger
many combined, the Allied experts say.
England has sent her premier airman
here. Major W L. B. Rees. Major Tulasane
and Lieutenant A. de la Grange, of the
French air forces, are also here. These
meri, working with American experts, are
hoping to make the air forces of the United
States the strongest In the world.
England has the latest designs of aero
planes, most successful in aerial fighting.
They are a much lighter type of machine
than those In use In the United States
aerial- corps now. . ,
Major 'Rees of the Royal Flying Corps
has )old United ' States war officials that
England stands ready to turn over all of
her plans and patents to the United States
If Its manufacturers will but turn out large
numbers of the machines for service In
France,

the pollio officers and gendarmes who ar
rested him, the prosecutors, tho witnesses
and tho Jailers were ordered to appear be

ernment's policy of "Jew batting"
Mendel Bellls, a Jewish workman, was
formally charged on November 13, 1 913,
with tho "ritual murder" of a boy, Andrew

DANIELS APPLIES MUZZLE
TO NEWS OF NAVY MOVES
Silver Shell Announcement Shows Ne
cessity of Guarding Operations
From This Side
WASHINGTON, June 9. Following the
example of Secretary of State Lansing, his
leuow-cablnet membor. Secretary of Navy
Daniels today tacked a tight gag on the
Navy Department.
Incidentally England and France have
been Informed that they must be more
cautious about the American news that they
publish to the world.
Officers and employes were ordered to
keep quiet under penalty of dismissal as
to any news matter from the department
The gag rule Is an Indirect result of the
publication of the name of the Stiver Shell,
the vessel which sank a German U-boat.
France made tte name public ; the State
and Navy Departments confirmed It.
Thereupon the committee on publlo In
