THE LOUISVILLE, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 1, 1918. 3 ONE MAY Dffi AS RESULT FIGHT AT WILLIAMSTOWN Yellow Monument Town For MAY POSTPONE W'WTIOII Congressmen Disposed To Put Over Legislation Until After Recess. Special ta The Dubuque, June of the mostunique monuments ever erected stands to-day on the most conspicuous corner of the business section of Lawler, Iowa. Lawler is a prosperous, industrious little community in the heart of Chickasaw county, Iowa. Of Its more than 800 residents one lone family failed to indicate its patriotism.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schlatter, their children, Emii, Henry, Pauline, Mamie and Eva Schlatter, all of whom, it is believed, have attained mature years, hav been publicly repudiated by the people of Lawler as disloyalists. Their names are inscribed on the four sides of a twelve-foot pillar of conventional monument type, that stands in the middle of the intersection of the two principal streets of the town. The monument is painted yellow and flies a yellow flag.

On the four sides of its base, in letters a foot high, is the carved word "SLACKERS." Tho Schlatter family, although known to be able, has refused to contribute to the Red Cross or buy Liberty bonds. None of its members has vouchsafed a loyal or patriotic word since the beginning of the war with Germany. Of German descent, all are still apparently of pro-German sympathy. Their attitude has so incensed the residents of Lawler that not a merchant in the town will transact business with any member of the Schlatter household. Schlatter recently desired to market a load of hogs.

No Lawler dealer would buy the hogs. Life and Death Hang In Balance At U. S. Seaplane Camp In Italy ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM NEW ALBANY The Rotary Club will hold Its regular monthly meeting to-night at the Tavern. The Board of County Commissioners will convene to-day in its regular July meeting.

"Look out, there, you'll break those wings," called the American commander as two seaplanes came shooting up the beach, too close together for comfort, The helpers in the warer seized them and dragged them in to a safe landing. "That's one of the troubles with having too many machines about," explained the commander. "When a seaplane starts in for the beach the aviator cuts off the power and then he can't steer It any ionger. When tne wind is unfavor able or tne water is rough they have to make several trials- sometimes before they can get in head on.

MORE TROUBLE IN VIENNA Amsterdam, June 30 (by A.

Emperor Charles of Austria has commanded Premier von Seydler to carry on the Government, butane has failed to tell him how to do it. Messages received here indicate that the premier has enormous difficulties ahead of him, as the Poles remain adamant in their attitude of opposition to his policy. In fact, the Poles already have declared, that they will not even consider economic concessions with which, it is reported. Dr. von Seydler intended to placate them.

The premier now has appealed to the Poles not to obstruct the provisional budget too severely." The Czechs and South Slavs are resolved to fight any Government that yields to German demands, and they plainly told Emperor Charles at an audience the other day that they would refuse to vote for the provisional budget and the war credits if Dr. von Seydler remained in office. On the other hand, the Ukrainian members of the Austrinn Parliament suddenly have come to the rescue of tne German national party in support of von Seydler to the extent of declaring that they I will vote for both the budget and the war credit on condition that the Premier remain in office. They are quoted as saying they will not tolerate his dismissal at the behest of the Poles. I German Socialists Waiting.

The Christian Socialists declare they will onlv stand bv Premier von Seydler If the old regime in Bohemia is continued, and they are determined to resist any further anti-State agitation. The attitude of the German Social ists in the Austrian Parliament still is obscure. They probably will await the course of events and, according to reports, are to be persuaded to vote ror the budget, but will refrain, from voting on the war credit. The members of the cabinet have paid a visit to von Seydler and have assured him of their personal frisnd-shlp and goood will. Meanwhile, food disturbances have occurred in Vienna, but beyond the bare mention of the stopping of street cars, the smashing of factory windows and the raiding of bread carts no further details are available here.

At Budapest the strike has come to an end after an appeal by the Socialist leaders on the ground that the parliamentarians of all political shades, with a few exceptions, have left them in the lurch.

June 30 (by A. Congress to-morrow will begin a final clearing- up of legislation preparatory to a recess this week until early in August, when the House Ways and Means Committee is expected to have the new revenue bill ready for presentation. Both Senate and House are to meet unusually early to-morrow in an effort to dispose of appropriation measures carrying money needed with tho beKining of the new fiscal year. Leaders hope to finish imperative legislation and recess next Wednesday, but it is regarded as more probable that Congress will be unable tn get away before next Friday or Saturday. Wartime prohibition, the new bond authorization bill and important legis lation added to the 3.12,000.000 Army Appropriation Bill are the most urg ent matters remaining before Con gress.

Several of the supply meas ures, including the army bill, are re garded in such shape that their en actment may be held up. necessitat ing passage of emergency resolutions containing existing appropriations. Wheat Price Up. The controversy over the Senate amendment to the Agricultural Appropriation Hill, increasing the Gov ernment guaranteed wheat price to $2.50 a bushel, will come up in the Senate to-morrow with advocates urenared to oppose vigorously a reso lution by Majority Leader Martin to instruct the Senate conferees to yield to the House objections and abandon the price increase proposal. If the Senate insists on the price increase, the.

Agricultural Appropriation Bill probably will be allowed to go over until after the recess. Prohibition legislation is blocking another Agricultural Appropriation Bill, the emergency food production measure. Consideration of it probably will follow the Senate's disposal of the wheat controversy, with a movement on foot to put over the "dry" question until Congress returns from the recess. Other Bills May Go Over. In the general disposition of many leaders to postpone legislation that interferes with the vacation plans, several other measures, including the woman suffrage resolution in the Sen-ale and the water power development bill tn the House, are scheduled for postponement until after the vacation period.

The army appropriation measure goes to conference to-morrow and the numerous legislative riders added by the Senate are expected to two or three days' work by the conferees. 'Prompt passage by the Senate of the new bill authorizing $8,000,000,000 additional bonds for domestic uses and $1,500,000,000 more for loans to the Allies is expected.
