Italians have gained a big victory at
Nervcca, on tie wjrt bank of the Pi

success, it was learced from an author
itative source this afternoon.
(Nervesia. an Important railway cross

It was at this point that Premier
Ovlando admitted a considerable enemy
gain to toe Italian parliament last

Montebolluna-Suseg'na railway at sev
eral points.
The Italians have hurled the Aus
trians back at this point, reentering
the Neivesa.' They ate now battling to
push on to ths rivef, thus spliting the
enemy forces asain, and beginning the
first phase of a flanking movement
northwestward to cut off the Austrians
on Montello. An Italian rorce already
has divided the enemy forces a few
miles to the southward.
The Austrian drive so far is a coin--pleto
failure but they may make a
great effort tb retrieve their reverses.
They aie reported to have considerable
fortes in renjrve, the greater part of
them being in the mountains.
Premier Orlando infomed the c ha in

BESS WOULD
OF RUSSIAN POLICY
-Some Members Are In Favor
of American-Japanese
Co-Operation There
By L. C. Martin
(tTntted Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, June 21. Congress is
about to demand a new statement of
poliey from the administration with re
gard to Russia.
Backed by a growing sentiment for a
Siberian offensive to- save Russia cv.cn
against her will from German penetra
tion, members favoring American-Japanese
co-operution in Siberia will intro
duce a senate resolution aiming to force
from the president some definite ex
planation of this government's stand.
The sole purpose of this measure will
be to get from the president answers
to thcS(, questions:
Is the United States keeping Japan
out of Siberia?
"nat do r ranee, Italy and England
think of Japanese intervention!
I Has this government any good reason
for further "watchful waiting" ou the
Russian question! -
rhere is no general criticism of the
governmeut's present policy but there
is a great desire tor information. Con
gress would be satisfied to get this in
formation privately, if publicity at this
time would be inadvisable.
Hearty approval probably will be giv-
eu to the Hitchcock amendment to the
army bill removing the alien enemy
taint from Jugo-Slav subjects of Aus
tria in this country by allowing them to
enlist ia 'le American army.
This amendment, with President Wil
son's approval is held a strong offen
sive move against Austria.
Th Russian, Jugo-Slav aud Turkish
Bulgarian questions ar all engrossing
to congress. A careiul canvass of both
houses today disclosed that if congress
were acting right now on its own in
formation and according to its own in
clination, it would at once:
Declare war on-Turkey and Bulgaria.
Declare for giving "Japan a free hand
in Siberia i'or purposes of an offensive
against Germany. Put all Jugo-Slav,
Czecho slovaks and Poles in this coun
try in the friendly alien class, to make
them available as American soldiers "anil
increase Austria's troubles.

Tins was the declaration here today
of Secretary of Agiieulturc Houston
before the state convention of the Iowa
Bankers' association, in delivering a
stem iitdietinent of Germany.
American farmers, he said, have risen
nibiy to their task, and tho nation's
crops this year will insure against al

Besides the present prospect of bet
ter than a 930,000,000 bushels wheat
output, he said, the rye crop now prom
ises to exceed its former high year by
11,000,000 bushels, more than double the
peace time output.
1'iouuction of barley, he said, will be
increased to 26,000,000 bushels and the

large supplies of food, clothing and
feed products, not only for our own
population, but also for the allies, and
there is every indication that the con
ditions will result in fair prices to the
farmers, whether war continues or
peace comes.
"For even if peace should come," he
said, "stricken Europe will for a time
look to this country not only for large
supplies of food, but w'" especially seek
here large numbers of livestock with
which to replenish their depleted
herds.

Washington, June 21. American
aeroplanes, equipped with Rolls-Royce
engines and piloted by aviators of the

Brauker, of the Royal Air force, declar
ed today. The flight, General Branker
stated, probably would be mad? from
Newfoundland to Portugal, via the
Azores. Seven hundred aud fifty horse
power airplanes carrying crews of three
or four men will be used.
In discussing the proposed flights
General Blanker declared that the mat
ter had been brought to the attention
of the war and navy departments aud
that this government was in favor of
the venture.
"Once this enterprise has been estab
lished," General Blanker said, "Amer
ica's output of big bombing machines
can proceed to Europe by air and so
save shipping that is so invaluable for
other purposes.
"This may seem a wild statement
But in 1914 the flight of the English
channel was considered a wonderful and
dangerous performance."
Flying nt the rate cf 85 miles an hour

consideration favorable, winds, airplanes
can reach the Azores in less than forty
hours, according to calculations of fly

Government Lays Failure of
Both Schemes to Sinn Fein

By Webb Miller

London, June 21. That conscription
has been abandoned tn Ireland and
that Irish home rule is dead for the dur
ation of the war, is general view result
ing froi.i Lord C'urzon's speech.
Tne president of the privy council
said that tne discovery of the Sinn Fein
pk't, Mj;elher with Catholic hierarchy's
advice to the people to resist conscrip
ticn iiac'er penalty of eternal damn
nticn, had niteied the situation since
tho government endorsed home rule and

A severe policy toward the disorders
oceurriug throughout Ireland is esprei
ed to follow the new course. It is pre

Higher Freight Rates and
.Increased tost of Produc
tion Given As Reason
Washington, June 21. Increase in the
rricc of wheat to meet higher freight
latcs and increased production costs is
under consideration by the food admin-
stration, it was learned officially today.
This U'" the first time deviation from
the fixed $2.20 wheat price . has ' re
ceived serious attention from food Ad
ministrator Hoover. It follows protests
from farmers who faced losses of one
to four .cents a bushel on wheat because
of tho proposed 25 per cent increase in
freight rates which will effect the en
tire wheat belt.-increases, if granted,
will bn reflected in a 35 to 50 cents
increase per barrel in flout.
Hoover, has long hoped that higher
wheat prices would be unnecessary. Far
mers planted record acreage on the
$2.20 wheat price amendment peuding
in congress, but not- passed.
The basic. f2.20 price will not be
changed even sow, it is officially indi
cated. But farmers, held to a fixed price
will be protected against a freight rate
incrcsse which they otherwise have to
benr.
The differentials io various markets
will be adjusted to meet the increased
freight rate, A slight additional margin
also mav be allowed to cover increased
threshing costs. There is no possibility,
however, of 12.00 wheat, it is officially
announced.
Montana farmers haw protested to
Hoover, asking for an increase to cover
the additionay four cents a bushel
freight rate to Minneapolis they will
have to pay under the' new schedule,
. Rates from Kansas City to New York

mated, which must be borne by eastern
