Washington, July 3. Holding the
new cloture rule in reserve, Admin
istration Senators today made another
futile attempt to get the opponents of
the Food bill to voluntarily agree on
a time for a vote. x
Senator Chamberlain, in charge of
the bill, warned the Senate that more
than two weeks have already been
used up in discussion. He asked for
a vote on the bill today at 5 p. m.
Senator Penrose at once objected, de
claring that he favored free and fair
discussion, and objected to "the use
of the steam roller" in forcing the
bill.
Senator Chamberlain replied that it
was not his purpose to urge the use"
of the "steam roller" and he had ng
desire to intimate that there has been
any filibuster. ,

.The officers are being entertained at
the military club.
. The Americans arrived at the Auter
litz station at 7:40 o'clock, having been
36 hours on the way from the French
port at which they disembarked. The
soldiers were greeted by reports of the
French and American armies. The J
French Red Cross provided refresh
ments and the American Red Cross and
Young Men's Christian Association
also sent representatives to greet
them. .J :
Headed by their own band, the sol
diers, carrying thei rifles and field
packs, fell in and marched off to the
barracks. The .crowds waved Ameri
can and French flags.; Hundreds of
Americans were inftheithrong at the
sutugu.
Saloons were still closed. Sleepy-eyed
guardsmen with marks of fire-fighting
still on their khaki patrolled the
streets and guarded bridges and sa
loon doors. Other sections of the
city appeared normal.
There were broken windows here
and there, and other wreenngv. Ne
groes driven from their horns huddled
here and there, seemingly anxious to
keep out of sight. Five hundred of
them, men, women and children, spent
the night at the city jail. Two men
were still asleep in one bath tub when
the sun arose, and another was slum
bering noisily, his chin on his chest,
but otherwise bolt upright on a gar
bage can. The floors were packed
with disheveled refugees.
Bits of clothing taken from dead
negroes were shown today by souvenir
hunters. One brutal incident of the
night was related today. On Fourth
street, near Broadway, three men saw
a negro, apparently dead, lying in a
Sutter. One flashed a pocket light In
bis face and saw that he still
breathed.
"Well, what do you know about
that,' he exclaimed. "Not dead yet."
We and one of his companions then
?rew their pistols and fired a bullet
into the negro's heaci.

program. Of course, the overshadow

William Fetler, the great "Russian
apostle, in exile now in New York
City, and Governor Bickett, tomorrow.
A big chorus choir, led by Mr. Wolr

musical features, will add much to the
inspiration and enjoyment of the oc
casion. Among the latest arrivals to the As

by the same surname, Archibald John

Petrograd, July 3. The new

in the capture of 6,000 more
'prisoners. The Russians are ad-
vancing towards ZlochOff-, Galicia,1

Russian troops have occupied
the Galician villages; of Presovce,-

; westward across the little.; Stripa
river. : : ' .

The great offensive of the regener
ated Russian army, initiated under the
leadership of Minister of War Ker
ensky, to person, is being successfully
pushed. Advices to the Russian goy
eminent declare it is developing - "in
an absolutely favorable njanner."
The success of the initial thrust in
the new drive by General Brussiloff,
in Galicia, is beyond question. Costly
as it probably was to the Russian per
sonnel, the taking of more than 10,
000 prisoners by the attacking army
in the comparatively narrow sector af
fected shows how disastrous it must
have been to the enemy.
There remained the .question .of
whether the drive could be kept " up
with sufficient force to , reap the full
advantage of the victory. While this
question does pot as yet seem to hate
been definitely decided1 the indications

Zlochoff, towards which the Rus

east of Lemberg and slightly more

on the important railway linp from

of a north and south line running

The Russian artillery is plentifully
supplied with ammunition for the im
