Eastern Frontier Into Austrian Ter.
ritory Forms Continuous Line Of
About Forty Miles - ADVANCING
Armies Have as Yet Encountered
No Serious Opposition.
Rome, May 29.--With the occupa-
tion Of the town of Garda in the Gulf
OF Trieste, the Italian front in the ad-
vance over the eastern frontier into
Austrian territory now forms a con.
tinuous line of about forty miles.
stretching from Caporetto, on the left
flank, to the sea. The fartaest ad-
vance into Austrian territory is at
Monfalcone, on the railway to Trieste,
the Italians being thus within twenty.
two miles of that port.
The Italian forces which invaded
tier Of that region have advanced as
far as the mouth of the Chiese river
in Lake ldro, occupying all the rugged
region between the lake and Lake
Garda to the east. There have beer
artillery engagements at the Tonole
tar the progress of the Italians, and
on the Asiago plateau, on the eastern
frontier of Tyrol, toward which the
invaders proceeded up Val Sugana.
Italian gunboats On Lake Garda
gave effective support to the troops
operating on the eastern shore Of the
lake, cnabling them to occupy several
strategic points around Monte Baldo.
of which an important peak, Monte
Altissimo, 6,790 feet high, was cap
tured. The objective of these troops
is to move on the railway connecting
Riva and Arco with Roverto and
| Trent. thus cutting off from the rail-
way the Austrian garrison at Rlva and
the Austrian forces at the mouth Of
| the Adige
In the big mountains overlooking
| the Val fiAgno, on the southeastern
frontier of the Trentino, an Italian
| lieutenant and eiahty-five men held at
hay for an hour company and half
of Bavarian troops, armed with Max
i'm guns. Italian artillery was finally
hauled up the steep slopes and the
Germans fed. The Italian lieutenant
was killed.
The Italians report success also in
the attacks on the passes leading into
Carinthia, three of which are now in
their hands, as well as fourteen from
| tier villages. Al one point in this re.
gion Italians and Bavarians have been
in conflict. An Austrian battery at
this poiht was silenced.
the Italian newspapers warn the
public that the rapid advance into
Austrian territory can not be kept up
indefinitely They say the Austrians
have undoubtedly a strong fortified
line behind the mountains stretching
from Gortitz to Grad.sca and thence
noutheasterly to Nabresina, and that
it will be difficult task to force this
! line.
It is reported that the Italians have
landed on the island of Rhodes, of
the coast of Asia Minor, while cruis
er has been bombarding Bedrum
which is on the Gulf of Kos, on the
mainland of Asiatic Turkey, not far
from Rhodes. This is believed to be
the first step in an attempt to land
On the Asia Minor coast.

thing about the case. City editors be-
came interested. The story was much
too good to bury upon the sporting pages,
so the city editors lifted IL for the news
sections, and sent reporters scurrying
after the marriage license record, with
instructions to find out who married the
couple and where they went The BRIDE
groom was to be interviewed, and the
bride was to tell the news-hungry popu-
lace why she did IT, In some cases the
city editors turned the raw material over
to their highly salaried humorsrs, the
'rewrite men,"

worse. Put little life into this stuff for

The rewrite men put a little life into
the stun, and the only thing they did
not have to work upon was the interview
with the bride and bridegroom. While
hard-driven typewriters were clicking and
shamelessly holding hands on the rear
incoming at so miles an hour.
The next morning the storm broke all
over the front pages. 1t amounts TO
something in news way to lose the best
pitcher of pennant-winning club on the
verge of post-season series. The local
baseball fans writhed in anguish, as well
they might. Telegraph wires carried the
story to every league town in the coun-

Bad news travels fast enough under
ordinary conditions; but when seven able
young reporters speed an unpleasant
rumor with tabs OF a quill or thumps of
a typewriter. its pace is materially accel-
Grated.
The Benedicts always travelled with a
full quota of war correspondents; and
when these young men, watching to see
whether Bert Lowrie would make" the
train, perceived the mad dash of Mace
Henshaw and his wife. and no BERTHE,
they were quite Interested.
Mrs Sinclair, the wife of the change
catcher, two years married and CONVEX
sational as cockatoo, gave the war cor
respondents a valuable hint. Mrs. Sin
clair, in common with the other club
wives, had been very much interested
in the progress of the Lowrie-Curtis

to her husband. Miss Curtis was going

she's missed the train. And Mr.. Lowrie

thing you ever heard In your lifeP"
"Cheesei Cheese!" warned her hus-
band. The reporters are tryin' to get
an earful OF your talk. Want to start
something, dearie?"
Dearie did not want to start anything,
but she did desire some information. IL
was odd enough that the dependable
Bert Lowrie should miss the train; the
fact that Miss Curtis should miss 1t too
might be more than a coincidence. Mrs.
Henshaw walked quietly down the aisle
OF the car, bright spot glowing on each
cheek. The women took one look at
Mrs. Mace, and then looked at each
other. Mace lowered behind his wife,
heavy scowl on his brow. He re-
turned no salutations, and slammed the
door OF the drawing-room behind him.
The seven reporters looked at each
other with question marks In their
brisht eyes.
Have the skipper and his wife been
having row?" asked the newest scribe
The question was received in silence.
The door of the compartment opened.
Henshaw thrust out his head, and bell
lowed loudly for Billy Phillips. the as
sistant manager and general handy man,
Phillips disappeared within the private
and soon reappeared with
a ist full OF telegraph blanks. His face
was very serious. The reporters fell upon

ARIZONA SPOTTED WITH RAIN
 AND DRY SPOTS; B|C REPORT
Valley Shared Downpour, But Only Minor Harm Done Canal System; Chief Worry That of Butcher Boy; Streets Sea of Mud

Although the valley shared the states wet spell yesterday and last night, there were no reports of dam age to the canal system, outside of minor breaks, chiefly along laterals. A. J. Haltom of the reclamation ser vice predicted that irrigation yester- day would hit the stored water sup ply more heavily than during the early days of the month, but he turned out to be a bum predictor. for the heaVen-sent water displaced some that the Zanjeros delivered, and the runs were not heavy.
 Traffic by vehicle was seriously hampered in and out of the city As is always the case when the usually sunny weather of the valley decides to go where the woodbine twineth and the whang doodle mourneth for it's first love. the streets became seas of mud, discouraGing to the lightly shod, and plumb disgusting to him with the reE-ler boots. Several autos were stalled, and the butcher and grocery boys had a profane time of it. Lots of folks didn't get their steak for dinner.
 The most highly appreciated piece of recent paving was that which per mits of easy access to the post office building from the downtown side.
 IL was frightfully hot in Tucson yes terday, in comparison with the balmy winter weather experienced here. The warmest it got here all day was 50 degrees at 6 a. m.. while the old Pueblo was sweltering with the mer- cury flirting about the 56 degree mark.
 The total rainfall for the 24 hours ending at six last evening was .93 hundredths of an inch. The precipi- tation passed way beyond the inch mark an hour after the report was taken.
