OOO perwni have nrone on strike In the
Volcan Arsenal and the Warschalowskl
airplane works In Vienna, according: to

change Telegraph.

roke out in Vienna yesterday, says an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Am
sterdam. The mob broke into a num
ber of bakeries, stoned the residence of
the premier and also one of the wings
of the Hofburg Palace, the message
adds.
Cavalry is being rushed to the capi
tal to restore order. It is probable, it
Is said, that martial law will be pro
claimed. The rioting was in protest against
the reductions of the bread ration.
Burgomaster Warns Premier.
Burgomaster Weiss-Klrchner, of Vi
enna, has, Informed Premier von Seyd
Jer, according to a dispatch from the
Austrian capital transmitted by the
correspondent at Amsterdam of the
Exchange Telegraph Company, that in
view of the reduction of the bread ra
tion he declines to guarantee order in
the capital.
AMSTERDAM. June 20. A Vienna
dispatch to Berlin newspapers says that
reduction of the bread ration in Austria-Hungary
caused immense excite
Jnen.t throughout the dual monarchy.
All Austrian newspapers without
distinction of party protest against the
measure, demand its removal and ask
immediate help from Germany and
Hungary.
AMSTERDAM, June 19. A Vienna
dispatch published in the Berlin Zeit
vng Am Mittag gives an official state
Went of the Vienna City Council on the
food situation in that city. The state
ment reads:
Food Agreement Broken.
"Germany promised some weeks ago
In a state treaty to undertake respon
sibility for the food supply for both the
civilian population and the arm),
whether the supplies were drawn from
Ukraine, Roumania or Germany's own
reserve stock.
"Deliveries at first proceeded smooth
ly. For th last eight days, however,
Germany has been in arrears of her
quota.
"The statement adds that urgent ap
peals have been sent to the German of
ficials saying that the situation is
acute, particularly in munition . cen
ters." COPENHAGEN, June 20. According
to the Vossische Zeitung, the Mayor of
Vienna in a statement explaining the
food situation has said that last month
a proclamation was issued to farmers
requesting them to deliver a certain
amount to large towns.
The council had hoped td receive 10,
000 carloads of grain, but as a matter
of fact had received only 2500.
The Mayor also reported that after
the last lot of potatoes is distributed
this week the supply will he exhausted.
The Mayor of Budapest, replying to
a, telegram requesting assistance, said
conditions there were so bad that the
people, had not had sufficient food for
months. x
AMSTERDAM, June 17. For at least
six weeks, says the Vienna Neue Kreie
Presse, the people of Austria will have
to exist on little more than salads and
certain vegetables.
The bread allotment to each individ
ual in the city of Vienna is now less
than one and one-half pounds weekly,
it was stated In a dispatch from Copen
hagen on Tuesday. Protests against
this rationing have been vehement
from various quarters.
General Strike Feared.
Strikes in Vienna and elsewhere have
been one outgrowth of the situation,
according to reports from Switzerland,
and fears hava been expressed In Aus
trian quarters that what would vir
tually amount to a general strike was
Imminent.
In one recent labor demonstration in
IVienna the police had to be called upon
to disperse the rioters, it was said.
Austria, it appears, is entering the
iew harvest year without any reserve
stocks and is dependent upon Germany
for such scanty supplies as she Is re
ceiving. Germany herself, however, is
reported bo short of stocks that she is
Bible to extend little help. Seemingly
there are still supplies In Hungary
from which Austria might derive some
email assistance, but appeals to the
Hungarian authorities do not appear to
have brought results.

U. S. BOYS ALSO GAIN SOUTH
Americans Northwest of Chateau
Thierry Smash Germans and Push
Ahead FIve-elgliths"'or Mile In
Bellcu . Wood .. Region.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 20 (By the Associat
ed Press.) At dawn today American
troops stormed German trenches and
machine gun nests In front of Cantigny,
in the Montdidier sector. Those of the
German garrison who remained to fight
and carry out their orders .to hold the
positions at any cost were killed by
rifle and machine-gun fire and bay
onet. The Americans also took prisoners.
Fight Short, bat Bitter.
The American artillery put down a
heavy box barrage on the rear of the
enemy positions. A few minutes later
the infantry swarmed over the top and
rushed the trenches. Some of the Ger
mans had tried to escape through the
barrage, crashing to their rear, but few
of them got through, for numerous
German dead were found later.
Prisoners captured declare that they
had orders to hold on at all costs, and
this was apparent by the desperate
manner In which they fought. The
hutiu w short but deadly, for the
enemy positions were swept clean of
the Germans. The official report says
that a great many Germans were
killed.
One machine gun nest containing
right men. which had been sprinkling
Cantigny for some days, was blown up
by a direct hit from a trencn mortar
bomb.
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON
THE MARNE, June 20. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The American troops In
this sector attacked the German line
northwest of Chateau Thierry during
the night and made an advance of five
eighths of a mile, driving the Germans
back from a small pocket on the north
am side of Belleu Wood.
Enemy Refuses to Fight.
The Americans occupied the German
positions without resistance from the
enemy, the Germans having withdrawn
when the short and sharp preliminary
artillery bombardment indicated that
an infantry attack would follow.
. The Germans carried their material
with them in their retreat, anc the
Americans therefore did not take any
machine guns. As a matter of course,
also, no prisoners were taken.
One small salient Is all that the ene
my continues to hold In Belleu Wood.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 20. (By the Associated
Press.) The enemy artillery has been
more active on the Toul sector since
the heavy gassing to which the Amer
icans subjected - them yesterday. The
infantry action has been confined, how
ever, to an attempted raid. In which
only 60 men participated, in "spite of
the German official statement which
said that they had penetrated the
American lines at Seicheprey.
Hans Use Many Shells.
The Germans have thrown about 6000
shells along the American front In the
Woevre.

Bureau of Markets, of which Charles

the food administration will be used.

lated by tho Bureau of Markets will

ministration for a license.
Operations at the local yard are con
ducted in an open manner to the sat

ments, and in the larger markets of the
East has begun the reporting of actual

ral superlntenlent of plants for Wil
son & Co. at ''hicago, was the chief
witness at today's session. He testified
that Wilson & Co. tried to supply bet
ter hams than those specified by the
Navy; that he and Mr. Wilson had
eaten hams which had been rejected,
and that no ham had been sent- out
which he would have been unwilling
to have his brother, who is in the
Army, eat.
After quoting the Navy Inspector at
Chicago as saying that a slight trace
of mould would not affect the quallty
of & ham, Mr. Bowers asserted that
the best way to "sweeten" such hams
was to wipe off the mould with dry
salt and a brush and hang them tn a
smokehouse, without smoke, for 12
hours.
He opposed the method suggested,
he said, by the Navy Inspect--, that .the
hams should be washed in tepid water
and smoked for 36 hours because
"crevices" would be opened and the
water, soaking In, would carry the
mould.
He testified" that of 115.117 pounds
which had been ""reprocessed" last
Winter only 775 pounds were condemned.
