ern Coast Visited.
Paris, May 24.--An attack by Aus
trian warships on the eastern coast
of Italy along the Adriatic, is an
nouneed in an official communication
from the Italian war office, transmit
ted to Paris by the correspondent
of the Havas agency. 1t is said the
Austrian warships were forced to
withdraw after a short cannonade.
The statement says:
1T was foreseen that on the dec
laration of war offensive actions
would take place against our Adriatic
coast to seek moral effect rather
than attaining a military purpose.
But We were able to prepare for these
and make their duration short.
Small naval units of the enemy
especially destroyers and torpedo
boats, fired their guns upon our Ad-
riatic coast. AT the same time aero
planes attempted to attack the ar
senal at Venice.
The enemy's ships, after a short
cannonade. were forced by our tor
pedo boats to withdraw The en-
hxr
our anti-aircraft artillery and attack
ed by our aeroplanes and by a dirig-
ible flying over the Adriatic.
"The aeroplanes attacked Porto
Corsini, which replied Immediately,
and obliged the enemy to retire
quickly. At Ancona, where the at
tack was directed especially against
the railway line, in the intention of
nterrupting communication. slight
damage was inflicted, which can be
repaired easily
Put to Flight by italian Ships.
"At Barletta an attack was made
by a scout steamer and destroyers,
which were put to flight by one of
our ships, which was escorted by tor
pedo boats. Finally at Gesi, the en-
emy's aeroplane attempted to throw
bombs on the hangers, but without
reachinslthe mark.
"All other news of operations has
no foundation"
1t is apparent from the foregoing
dispatch that Austrian aeroplanes
have swept virtually the entire east.
ern coast of italy. From Venice, at
the head of the Adriatic. they have
made their way as far south as Bar
letta, q distance of $50 miles, com.
mitting acts of hostility during their
progress Barletta Is 125 miles north
of the Strait of Otranto. the southern
entrance to the Adriatic.
Granted that the aeroplanes start.
ed from Trieste or Pola, they did not
have more than eighty or ninety
miles to travel to reach Venice.
Driven away here they appear to
have turned south. Porto Corsini is
the seaport OF Ravenna and about
sixty-eight miles south Of Venice.
Ancona is another seaport on the
Adriatic, 1S5 miles northeast of
Rome, and about 140 miles south of
Venice in an air line.

Now Being Held by Commission on
Industrial Relations.
Washington, May 25-The federal
industrial relations commission re
sumed its investigation into condi-
tiOns in the Colorado coal fields. l..
NJ. Bowers, former vice president Of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company
and now a member of the personal
staff of John d. Rockefeller, Jr., was
the first witness to testify.
Bowers testified he is not now con
nected with the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company and had nothing to do
with the conduct of that strike in
any way, directly or indirectly. AL
though he was treasurer of the com
pany and chairman of the executive
board he knew nothing of expendi-
lures for arms, ammunition or mine
guards.
Chairman Walsh spoke Of letter
in which Bowers wrote of giving "taf-
fly to Governor Ammons.
Did your mother ever spank you
and then give YOU piece OF candy or
a cookie2" returned the witness.
Retort Causes Laughter.
The commission and spectators
joined in laughter as Mr.. Walsh an.
swered
she certainly did"
well, that is just what / meant"
Then your political policy as a
representative OF the Rockefeller in
terest." said the chairman. "is that
when a public official does not do
what you want him to do, you spank
him and when he does what you
think is right you give him a piece
of candy?"
That's right"
Bowers agreed with Chairman
Walsh that Sheriff jeff Farr of Huer.
fano county is the king of the coun
ty." He said he objected to Farrs
political and business tactics. but
that the coal company for years had
been connected with Farr and his or
ganization
THE Colorado Fuel and Iron com
pany," he said, was connected with
this condition, was a part of it, The
officers of the company did it, don't
deny it. They were working with
Farr."
