(Associated Press Dispatch.)
PARIS, June 26.—A Havas dis-
patch from Athens says that former
Premier Venizelos who had been com-
manded by King Alexander to form a
new cabinet arrived at Athens yester-
day and w ill be received by the king.
STRONG FOR WAR.
Venlxelos Expected to Urge Open Hos-
tilities Against Germany.
London, June 26.—A dispatch to the
Times from Athens says as soon as
parliament is convened, M. Venizelos
will probably propose to the deputies
that Greece join the allies. He does
not intend, however, to mobilize the
nation against its will. He is expect-
ed first to undertake a great campaign
explaining to the people that Greece's
interests are bound up in the entente
cause.
If his mission is successful he will
be able in about three months to put
the entire forces of Greece into the
balance.
A Reuter dispatch from Athens says
It is stated on good authority that M.
Venizelos will form a cabinet not later
than Wednesday.
French Troops in Athens,
(Associated Press Disputed.)
London, June 26.—A dispatch to the
Times from Atheiis says French
troopa yesterday entered Athens and
occupied several points in the city.
A Ueuter's dispatch from Athens
says there was a demonstration in the
city on Sunday night and that the al-
lied troops entered the city to assist
In maintenance of order. The demon-
stration was organized by a member of
reservists and sailors under the lead-
ership of followers of Demetrios Gou-
naris. M. Gounaris, former Greek
premier, was one of the pro-Gorman
group around King Constantine. He
was deported after the abdication of
Constantine.
This is the second time since the
war that troops have been sent to
Athens. The previous instance was in
December, 1916. Soon after landing
they were fired upon by Greek troops.
They were withdrawn after the Greek
government had acceded to the allies'
demands for reparation.
QUIET IN CANTON.

Town Does Not Develop.
Jackson, Miss., June 26.—A com-
pany of the Mississippi national guard
today was guarding the jail in Canton,
about thirty-five miles north of here,
where a mob last night threatened to
storm the jail with the avowed pur-
pose of removing and lynching two
negroes, George Bass and C. 0. Oliver,
charged with assaulting and making
threats against a white man, following
trouble at a lumber camp.
Reports from Canton today were
that the town was quiet.
BRITISH ENCIRCLING IMPORT-
ANT COAL CENTER AND GER,
MANS ARE GETTING SCARED.
FRENCH SHE IIKjiHIS
First Line Trenches Taken and Over
SOO Germans Are Made Prisoner.
Austrian* Aggressors in Italian
Theatre—Fighting Between Rus-
sians and Austro-Gerinans Reported.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
The slow but sure encircling of
Lens, the important coal center held
by the Germans in the department of
Pas de CalaiS, is in process of con-
summation by the Canadians. Having
already, during the present week, cap-
tured important advantage points west
and southwest of the town, a fresh
smash at the Germans has been re-
warded by the occupation of the vil-
lage of I,aCoulotte, situated a mile to
the south.
With the British forces actually en-
veloping the town except on the east,
the Germans already have ceased the
mining of coal in the immediate vi-
cinity of Lens, thereby seemingly in-
dicating that they realize that their
tenure of the positions is short lived.
Big Battle Imminent.
Although the British war office
aside from the operations around l<ens
reports no activity by Field Marshal
Haig's men, rising in Importance above
minor patrol sorties, the Berlin war
office asserts that heavy artillery
duels are in progress at various points
at which enormous quantities of am-
munition are being used. Reading
between the lines of the report it is
apparent that the British are the ag-
gressors and it is possible that Gen-
eral Haig is paving the way for a se-
ries of new thrusts against the Ger-
man lines.
French Make Gains.
The infantry activity in the region
between Soissons and ttheims was giv-
en way entirely to artillery duels in
the sector of Moulin de Laffaux and a
continuance by the Germans of the
slow demolition of Rheims with gun-
fire. Monday night saw an engage-
ment of considerable proportions
northwest of the Hurtebise farm,
where the French captured German
first line trenches and took more than
SOO prisoners. Berlin in admitting
the gain by the French tempers the
German crown prince's loss by the as-
sertion that in counter attacks his
army recaptured the greater portion
of the lost terrain.
Austrian* on Offensive.
The Austrians have taken the ini-
tiative from the Italians In the Asiago
plateau sector of the Austro-Italian
theatre. Their objective is Morte Or-
togara, but the Italians are valiantly
holding them back and according to
the latest Rome communication have
inflicted heavy casualties on them.
The battle still was in progress when
the communication was forwarded.
Although no big engagement has
yet developed, fighting continues be-
tween the Russians and the Austro-
Germans southwest of Lutsk in Vol-
hynia and between the Stripa and
Dniester rivers In Gallcia.
It seems probable that all other ef-
forts having failed, former Premier
Venizelos, former premier and a
staunch supporter of the entente, will
form a new Greek cabinet. Unofficial
advices are that at the approaching
session of the parliament a resolution
will be introduced favoring the en-
trance of Greece into the war on the
side of the entente.

WASHINGTON, June 26.—Two at-
tempts by suffragists to parade in
front of the White House with suf-
frage banners were broken up abrupt-
ly today by the police when nine of
the women Were taken to headquar-
ters.
The whole trouble started and the
climax came a few days ago when
militant suffragettes posted them-
selves outside the White House gates
with a huge banner informing the
Russian envoys that President Wilson
and the Root envoys were deceiving
Russia—that America was not a dem-
ocracy. An unidentified man was the
first to attack this banner, and he suc-
ceeded in tearing half of it away.

NEW YORK. June 26.—After a se-
vere cross examination of Detective
Sergeant John Lagarenne regarding
his search for Ruth Cruger, murdered
h'gh school student. Leonard M. Wall-
stein, who is conducting Mayor Mitch-
el s investigation into the police hand-
ling of the case announced tonight
that he would aslc Police Commis-
sioner Woods to place the detective
| on trial on charges of gross and wilful
negligence. To many of the commis-
, sioner's questions Lagarenne made no
I reply and to others he answered, "X
don't recall;" "I can't answer," and
"I am not sure."
Asked if he had been working on
the theory that Ruth Cruger was a
runaway girl Lagarenne replied, ''I
believed she might have been enticed
away."
The detective sergeant testified that
after Miss Helen Cruger had found
Alfredo Cocchi s mototcycle shop
closed on several visits to the place,
even then his suspicions were not
aroused. It was in the cellar of
Cocchi's shop that Ruth Cruger's
body was found.
Lieut. William Funston to whom
Helen Cruger testified yesterday she
was xeferred at police headquarters
when she took a letter of identifica-
tion from former Police Commissioner
McKay to inspector Faurot regard-
ing her sister's disappearance said to-
day he had made a complete report
of Miss Cruger's complaint and had
given it to Faurot who is investigat-
ing the case for Police Commissioner
Woods.
Two detectives have been assigned
by Commissioner Woods, it was an-
nounced tonight to go to Italy to bring
back Cocchi should the Italian gov-
ernment grant his extradition. In any
event it was stated the policemen will
be sent to Italy. It has not been de-
cided whether a representative of the
district attorney will accompany them.
In reference to the Rev. Father Cas-
per Moretto, manager of a home for
immigrants who heard Cocchi's con-
fession before he fled to Italy, Dis-
trict Attorney Swann explained that a
section of the penal law protects a
priest from divulging what is heard
in the confessional.

"The outcome of (he war," said Mr,
Prothero, "may ultimately hang on

ANTI-PASS CASE
. Court of Civil Appeals Holds Practi-
cally All of Exemptions 111 Law
Are Unconstitutional.
(As*oo!aUd PrGNa Dispatch.)
AUSTIN, Tex., June 26.—The opin-
ion of the third court of civil appeals
In the state's anti-pass case In which
the court had held that practically
all of the exemptions in the anti-pass
law are unconstitutional, was filed to-
day. In the opinion the court holds
that the attorney general had a legal
light to Institute the suit. The court
i1.Iso holds that these exemptions are
unconstitutional because they are an
unjust discrimination, further that
the legislature, under the constitution,
had no authority to engraft these ex-
emptions.
"If, therefore, tho legislature had
no authority to engraft the excep-
tions set out in section 2 of the anti-
pass law," says the opinion, "because
they were an unjust discrimination in
favor of such persons against the gen-
eral public, and therefore forbidden
by Section 2, article 10 of our con-
stitution prohibiting unjust discrim-
ination, then we think it follows that
such exceptions are unlawful and that
the trial court erred in sustaining the
demurrer to the petition."

< AaHOclatcd Prosa Diaintcu >
WASHINGTON, June 26.—In an-
other stirring address today at the
capital, Ambassador Bakhmetleff of
Russia's diplomatic mission gave a
solemn pledge that the Russian peo-
ple and army, "convinced that a sep-
arate peace would mean the triumph
of German autocracy," are prepared
to fight on beside America until the
world has been made safe for de-
mocracy.
The ambassador appeared before
the senate and was given a reception
almost, as enthusiastic as that ac-
corded him Saturday in the house, A
resolution was adopted by unani-
mous consent expressing the senate's
gratification over the stand of the
newest democracy.
"Russia rejects with indignation
any idea of separate peace," said the
envoy. "Striving for a lasting peace
based on democratic principles es-
tablished by democratic will, the
Russian people and army are rally-
ing their forces around the banners
of freedom. Russia wants the world

WASHINGTON, June 26—The ad-
mlnistration food control bill passed
by the house, was rewritten today by
the senate agriculture subcommittee
so as to give Presidont Wilson tho
power and responsibility of deciding
whether the nation shall be "bono
dry" during the war and to place iron,
and sleel and many other products la
addition to food and fuel, under gov-
ernment control. Those and other
changes are so satisfactory to man?
senators who opposed the original
draft that both advocates and oppon-
ents tonight predicted passage in the
senate by Saturday.
As a substitute for the house pro-
hibition sections, which without quali-
fication forbid the manufacture of
foodstuffs into liquor, the subcom-
mittee adopted provisions which pro-
hibit Its production.
The subcommittee's new draft will
be considered tomorrow by the agri-
cultural committee and will be re-
ported at once for senate discussion
without material change.
Optimistic Outlook.
Senators Gore, Smith of Georgia,
and others prominent in the bitter
fight against the legislation, have an-
nounced their support for the re-
drafted measure.
other signs of waning opposition
and prompt senate action came in to-
day's debute on the senate floor. Op-
position senators leading the recent
discussions yielded to Senator Knox
and Nelson, republicans, and Thomas,
democrat, for speeches supporting the
bill. Future debate promised to cen-
ter upon the prohibition question,
with leaders predicting an early final
vote.
Provisions of Measure.
For the house prohibition plan, the
subcommittee substitute provides:
"That from and after thirty day*
after the date of the approval of thle
act, It shall be unlawful for any per-
sons, firm or corporation, to use in the
manufacture of any intoxicating liquor
for leverage purposes, any perishable
or non-perishable feeds, food or food
materials, whenever the president
shall find It, necessary to conserve the
perishable products named, he is em-
powered to permit the use of such
products in the manufacture of vlnoua
liquors; * • * whenever in the
judgment of the president the public
interest would bo subserved thereby,
he Is empowered to permit the limited
use of the materials mentioned ih the
manufacture of malt or fermented
liquors and to prescribe the ulcoholio
content thereof."
Another section adopted would au-
thorize the president to take over any
or all distilled spirits now In bond
upon payment of a reasonable and
just price to distillers for re-dlstilla-
tlon into alcohol for war, industrial
or non-bevwage purposes.
The thirty day provision is designed
to give that time to the president to
decide whether the manufacture of
beer, wines, and light beverages shall
be permitted and for consumers and
manufacturers to prepare for what
the president may decide.
Should the president not exercise
his authority to exempt malt, fer-
mented and other beverages from the
sweeping prohibitory provisions and
should commandeer distilled spirits In
bond, "bone dry" national probihltlon
of both manufacture and consump-
tion—would result, entailing a loss of
federal revenue estimated between
J400.000.000 and $500,000,000 and
new taxation measures as well as local
revenue reductions.
Besides the prohibition substitute
other radical changes in the house
bill Include:
Extension of government control in
addition to food and feed and fuels to
Iron and steel and their products,
petroleum and its products, farm Im-
plements and machinery, fertilizer and
hemp, sisal and jute.

PRODUCERS TOLD TH AT OUTPUT
M\Y BE COMMANDEERED.
Agree to Sell Products tit Fair Profit
to Ho Fixed In Accordance With
Defense Council Plan.
(Associated Press Dlspatc.ii.)
WASHINGTON, June 26,—-Four
hundred coal operators representing
the great fields of both bituminous
and anthracite, pledged themselves
here today to sell their products at a
fair and reasonable price to be fixed
with the approval of the defense coun-
cil's coal committee by selecting com-
mittees of seven producers from each
coal mining state.
These special committees also are
authorized to confer with the defense
council's committee "to the end that
production be stimulated and plans be
perfected to provide adequate means
of distribution."
The operators' action in the form of
a formal resolution adopted amid
much enthusiasm came after the close
of an all day conference which open-
ed with address by Secretary Lane.
Secretary Daniels and John T. Fort, of
the federal trade commission, frankly
warned the producers that unless they
themselves established a fair selling
price and proper regulation of the in-
dustry their , output would be taken
over by the government.
S&cretary Daniels said that "If the
war goes on long, no man can say he
owns a gallon of oil or a tqn of coal.
It must be commandeered lor the
United States."
