ITALIANS NOT MAKING
SUCH RAPID PROGRESS

GENEVA, July IL, via Paris, July 13.
The Italians are advancing very slow
ly lately. The task of breaking through
the natural Alpine fortresses is more
difficult, as the AuStrians now have
been fully reinforced. One of the chief
difficulties the Italians are meeting
with is the destruction of the wire en-
tanglements in the mountain passes by
indirect artillery fire.
King Victor Emmanuel, who is in the
danger zone, watched the lombard
ment of Marlborghetto longer than an

July 13-According to reports from the

chiefly upon night attacks, which SO 1ar
have invariably failed.
The Italians have retorted by redou-

News a Shock to Friends,

The news of the death of DR.. Holmes,
though not entirely unexpected, came
as a great shock to friends in the bu-
reau of mines and throughout the city
generally.
Van H. Manning. acting director of
the bureau, expressed the sentiments s
of the workers of the Interior Depart
ment when he said this morning, in
commenting upon the death of DR..
Holmes:
I'm the death of DR.. Holmes the peo-
pie of the United States lose one of
their most remarkable and efficient
public servants. And the saddest part
of it all is that DIR. Holmes is victim
of overwork too great devotion to
the duties which had been assigned to
him in behalf of the safety of the mil
lion miners in the United States. He
was one of the most enthusiastic, inde-
fatigable workers ! ever had the pleas
ure of associating with.
His mind was continually upon the
yearly death roll of the miners, and,
although taken away in the prime of
his life. he has already accomplished
much in reducing the terrible death
rate. In the last five years of his life
he saw a slowly but steadily decreas-
ing death rate. and while it gave him
much joy, it only added to his almost
superhuman efforts in behalf of the
men.

Germans Claim Advance.

Both official reports tell of attacks
made and repulsed. and the Germans
claim to have advanced 600 yards be-
yond the cemetery at SoucheZ. which
they captured Sunday after desperate
fighting. Night attacks and artillery
duels have featured the fighting.
The German attack on SoucheZ,
where the French advances had threat
ened the town of Lille. may indicate
the arrival on the western front of the
long expected Teutonic reinforcements,
but evidence still is lacking of any
concerted offensive on either side along
the battle front in France and Bel
GUM.
Resumption of heavy assaults by the
Germans in the Woevre region in
France is interpreted by Paris mill
tary observers to mean that the failure
of recent attempts to break through
to Verdun by way of the Argonne is
being followed by a similar effort in
this new direction.

their efforts to capture the French
fortress of Verdun. After the failure
of their plans in the forest of Argonne
