TRENT CITY IS
MENACED
The Austrians Order Civil
ians to Evacuate
Tt

Rome, June Acknowledgement of tn,
Austrian town of Mori, three miles from
Rovereto, has begun. Italian batteries
posted on the heights of Monte Altis
simo have wrecked the railway bridges
across the Adige and have damaged the
railway station.
Heavy rains have seriously hampered
the rush of the Italian troops up the
Adige, but dispatches received here yes
terday said that the Austrians had suf-
fered equally, flooded mountain torrents
wiping out some of their lines of trenches
across the Adige valley south of Rover
eto.
Weather conditions have made it i'm
possible for the invading forces to take
quick advantage of the capture of Mon
tie Zugno, officially announced Tuesday.
The heavy rainfall has converted the
mountain roads leading to the heights
into slippery paths. Thus far it has
been impossible TO drag heavy guns up
the mountainside to shell the outer de-
fences of Rovereto.
Through the capture Of Rovereto the
march northward to the Trentno is con-
sidered certain here. 1t was pointed out
yesterday that neutral conditions give
the Austrian army tremendous adj
vantage in defending the Adige valley
around Mort. The enemy is intrenched
behind huge pile Of rock deposited
by landslide OF centuries ago. Behind
this advanced position are row after row
OF rock barbados, thrown up along the
railway from Mort to Rovereto. From
these intrenchments machine guns can
play disastrously on an invading force
marching up the Adige.
Hardships of the Campaign.
London, June 3.--Adverse weather con.
ditions are to considerable extent re-
tarding the rapid development of the
Italian campaign in the Trentino. Some
of the Alpine regiments, soaked in the
rains and creeping through the fogs, have
been exposed to the weather for fifty |
hours without rest.
At least thirty seven villages surround |
ing Cortina in the Ampezzo valley, which |
was captured Tuesday, have been occu-
pied. Cortina is sixty Dailes northeast
Of Trent. The authorities there have
sent a message to King Victor Emmsn-
uel, congratulating the army OF Italy /
and declaring the loyalty of the inhsbi-
-ants. Realizing the danger threatening

Will Show Pictures
 By Eminent Artists

Bridgeport has missed the art ex- hfbttions which used to be given by the public library a few years aga and lovers of art may congratulate themselves on the fact that the Wat original paintings may be exhibit ed. By an arrangement with the In- ternational Art Galleries of London, MT. Watkins is able to assemble col lections of pictures by en1inen Eur opean artists, which makes it possi- ble to hold occasional exhibitions in Bridgeport
 MT. Pacy, @ repr sentative of the London firm, has had the collection E on view in number of eastern cities, and came here from Boston. He compHnented MT. Watkins on the beautiful exhibition room which has been decorated this season, saying that it is one of the prettiest galleries in New England. The color scheme was planned by Ange1ine Scott Donley and it's draperies executed by the D. M. Read Co. The walls are hung with natural co1ored burlap and the door draperies of Monks cloth are trimmed with brown bands. The rugs are of two tones of brown and the chairs are of linen colored hemp of good design. This chastely sim pie interior makes an effective set ting for the rich colors in the paint fngs- MT. Watkins has installed semt-indirect lights in both the store and exhibition. room and the walls of the salesroonns have been painted 8 warm cream tone, which makes a good background for the varied ob- JectS iEa art shop.
 At the rear of the exhibition room, Mrs. Donley and Miss Johnson have a small studio for interior decorations in which are displayed @ few of the drawings and fabrics which Mrs. Don ley uses for her lectures for clubs and libraries. She will make this her headquarters for the summer.
