Germans again repulsed
IN ATTACKING HILL 321
PARIS, June 20.—The Germans
made three distinct efforts to take
Hill 321 by storm today and eacn
time were repulsed.
Beginning somewhat before day
break, the German artillery began
intensive bombardment of the
Hill. This desperate fire was main-,
tained without any cessation until
shortly before noon. A short lull
was followed by an infantry assault
which was met again with the per
fect artillery defense that marksa
yesterday’s fighting in this region.
Three times the effort was made,
each time the Germans being com
I polled to withdraw after suffering
' huge losses.
BERLIN, June 20.—The fighting
around Verdun centers now on
Hill 321, one of the most important
points yet to be captured. It is be
lieved that the French have already
evacuated the position except for a
few machine gun operators who are

more substantial gains. The Ger

effect.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT IS
SESSION
<?.h-r t e ire
LONDON, June 20.—The British
Parliament today roaaeembled after
a three weeks recess.
There was no formal King’s
speech read, the opening being
wholly without any sort of the
ceremony that marks the arrival of
a new session. ,
Briefly today the facts as to the
war were recited, the necessity of
fighting out to the end dwelt upon
by the government and the fiscal
plans for the future discussed at
length. There was an air of opti
mism about the proceedings today
has been lacking for many ses
sions.

may be an approximation of the

cities the rioting has arisen to ser

PETROGRAD. June 20.—The
fighting in Galicia and Bukowina
continues. For the first time in
twelve months, the Germans and
Austrians combined have been com
pelled to retire before the smashing
advance of the Russians. They wero
driven yesterday from their posi
tions near Kovel leaving their
ground in possession of the Rus
sians. Two thousand were captured
most of whom were Austrians.
PETROGRAD, June 20.—The
Headquarters Staff announces that
as a result of a lightening drive,
eighty thousand Austrians who were
retreating from Czernowitz have
been cornered by the Russian forces
and cannot escape. They are mak
ing a desperate resistance while the
Russians are shelling them beyond
any chance of escape. The Russian
artillery drove forward just in time
to plant a wall of lire behind tin
retreating Austrians and they can
not further withdraw. The Russian
commander is confident of netting
the entire force or anihilating them.
PETROGRAD, June 20.— It is
reported that the Austrians have be

CARRANZA TALKS STUDENTS
ON AMERICAN SITUATION
MEXICO CJTY, June 20.—Presi
dent Carranza speaking to students
and teachers in this city directed his
attention exclusively to the northern
problems. The occasion was the
the visit of a delegation of teachers
and students from Mexican schools
assuring the president of their
hearty co-operating in the task of de
fending the republic against all
comers.
Carranza stated that “if America
wishes war with Mexico they will
have to begin it by invading our
(Moxican) territory”. Mexico has
not now any designs against th«
United States, nor will Mexico at
tempt any invasion of American
soil, but Mexico will resist to the
last any attempt upon its national
sovereignty.
SAN ANTONIO, June 20.—Gen
eral Punston announced today thai
the War Department had ordered
the purchase of fifty thousand hor
ses for the militia
It is believed that they will also
ask for the service of sixty-five
thousand militia for immediate
active service. The assurances ot
higher officers as to Pershing's si
tuation have resulted in calming the
fears entertained by many for hia
safety.
Pershing, it is felt, is well able
to look out for himself.

The water front situation Is grow
ing extremely grave.
Following the shooting of the
union picket of the longshoremen
at the docks of the Hawaiian Am
erican line, the greatest resentment

ultimatum upon the steamship com
panies that If they continue recruit
ing strike breakers the union will
again re-open the general strike.
