He re marked that the power of the machine gun wag now so great that popular ris ings were virtually things of the past The best the Allies could expect, he thought, was a sort of passive revolution and a general lack of vigor which would be a continual Source of weakness and depression to the Germans. NO GRAIN TO AUSTRIA FROM GERMAN STOCK Wolff Bureau Makes An nouncement Vienna He- proaches Berlin Special Cable to El ening Public Ledger Copyright, 1919, by Sew York Times Co, The Hague, June 22. The tension between Germany and the duel monarchy Is considerable; for, while the Polish question Is far from being settled, food conditions In Austria, espe cially In Vienna, are extremely serious, and Austria now reproaches Germany tor not fulfilling her agreement as to the division ot booty from the Ukraine. The delivery or grain, during the last week, according to statements made by the municipal council ot Vienna, has fallen ao far behind that Austria Is now 2000 carloads short of the supplies which were destined for the civilian popula tion. The Austrian food dictator has gone to Berlin, accompanied by the Austrian ambassador, but the Wolff Bureau reports from authoritative sources that no gain will be supplied from German reserve. The blunt statement of the Rhelnlsche Westfallsche Zeltung regarding Poland will hardly serve to Improve relations between the two allies. This paper saya that 'the Austro-Pollah solution of the question, Is Impossible, and remarks that, while every German admits Austro Hungarian efficiency during the war, Germana without exception also recog nlxe the plain fact that Poland, save for a smal section in the southwest, was won by German troops, and that the .freeing ot Gallcia was mostly the work of .Mackensen's army, r IL la, therefore, logical, sajs the Zeltung, that only Germany has the right of a conqueror oven Poland, and that If ,, Germany ,has .pot. uaed this right, and Poland la not annexed, then thefqueatlon must be solved In Ger rtfnyVlufre,t.. if the AustrJAna think tter a. league In' arms Impossible wlthoyt thtUatlon ot their,, aelut Ion lcit Ma) 4 vrtWihAt I kuqt km ITALIAN ARMIES ON PIA PRICE Into another aa they bombed and machine-gunned the Austrlans on the slopes of Montello stretching like n sleeping whale below.

York Timet Co.- The Hague, June 22. The requisitioning of all copper and brass articles In private houses In Ger many has caused discontent and torn- iriAnt A.sneclallv as the seizure was not made by the War Office, but by a big company under the Government formed for thla purpose. The shipping organ, the Weaer Zeltung. explains to its readers that It must not be imagined that Germany does not produce enough copper, and draws con solation from the fact that In the Middle Ages Germany was the most Important copper producing country, -me yaper says that statistics of 1910 show that Geimany produced 21,700 tons, the dual monarchy 1700 tons, and America 494,- 900 tons. Germany, It says, requires more copper than she produces and has been obliged to. Import from America. Her copper is poor as compared with American, and the copper magnates realr ize their power In this monopoly and have never failed to fix prices according to their wishes and Interests and are In deed quite unscrupulous. The paper safys that prices for Amer ican copper In Germany have -varied anyvyhere between 112 and ISJ mark per 100 kilos. Never before. It says, has there been such a demand for copper aa now. and even In America there Is a scarcity owing- tp the. tremendous de-1 KnaAfkv for muuWllQ7;Tuua' pr.pop ttttkasbei rtUiaVf' 'mI(jw 'fr .......

At that Instant the fourth plane. ,vll,ch had bce hdden in a cloud a few hundred feet above, came right down on I,),,, from behind. I saw no shots fired at all, but smoke began steaming from, Bav lles'a-machine, and he went down in a long dive not vvhiil- lng over, which showed ho was still able to control his plant; and'dashed through the clouds, and I lost sight of him.

Baylles's commanding officer said: "His loss la one ot the, greatest the, escnuriiiu lino caiiciiciicu. jie vvtig mi exceptionally promising pilot, and com bined the coolness and caution of an old hand with unusual dash and cour age.

It is probable that this state of affairs will last long" The paper ascrts that the Entente will endeavor to shut Germany out of the war-material market and thus ex clude German competition, but tha, Ger many need not fear this as long as there Is a German sword. The question. It says. g whether Germans should allow themselves to be dictated to by America and .pay prices according to her whims. No, Oerman wishes this, and Kngland, which Is less dependent, has shown the way by procuring copper from her colo nies The Zeltung then remarks that the copper mines In Southwest Africa are of great value. In 1913 they produced 47, 950 tons of copper ore and 394 tons of pure copper. AH Indications from geo- logical: discoveries point to the fact that the copper minea In Southwest Africa are of importance for the future. The paper concludes by warning the people not to imagine that these mines could supply all of Germany's demands, but says they are a useful foundation for the reconstruction of the raw-material market.

June 22. -VI Since' my first visit to the newly JW arrived troops of the United Statesiback ', of the British lines three weeks agft, great progress has been made In ar-li! rnneemenlH for completing their train ing nnd putting them Into the fighting. ,tej There was necessarily some confusion A, at first. Thce troops were rushed over v to give General Foch a priceless element of reserves with which to buttress hjs armies against Hlndenburg's effort tb.de stroy the Allied armies by a sudden over whelming nttack. . The London and Paris Governments made such representations to 'JVashlng ton as to convince President Wilson, and with, the consent of Secretary Baker and General Pershing, old plans were set aside and new ones, involving radical changes, were substituted. These were carried out with a promptness and effi ciency characteristic of America when thoroughly aroused. 4 r Hurried Dana Modified All of this has been stated before.'but there has been a modification of these necessarily hurried plans. The arrest of the German offensive gave opportunity for a careful re-examlnatlon by General Pershing, who, with the full approval of both British and French, has put order and svstem Into the general scheme of American reinforcements, concerning which In the early stages, the Uma ele ment had to be treated as paramount., As before planned, the American In fantry and machine guns units will be equipped here with artillery and other accompanvlng services, but under the revised plans, our troops will be Kept together as American units to a much greater extent. .. While General Pershing fell In gal lantly with the Allied demands grow ing out of the German offensive, he never gave up his original Idea ot main taining the American army as Mich While many others felt that the plan of brigading American troops with Brit ish and French meant absorption, Persh ing clung, perhaps somewhat obstinate lv. to the original scheme of a main American army, with Its ports and front & and lines of communication. ,v j The development of the great battle n rendered the fixing of this 'ront, im possible, hut It also pointeo out tne wyy ? for retaining American identity 1 ? wherever the units might be serving.

Pershing has steadfastly adhered'to his own Ideas of training men for open warfare In the face of contrary advice, when he first arrived in France, and he has insisted especially on ride prac tice. If evei a general's Judgment was vindicated Pershing's was In the snow ing made by our troops on the Marne. It Is these practical results that have modified European military opinion Whereas a few weeks age the American toldle-rs were usually thought as "ad mirable material," they are now classed as shock troops.
