London.-Little or no time has been
allowed to elapse between the declara-

Italy and Austria. Austrian aeroplanes,

decisive defeat, or, at least, one that
will discourage the Italians, will be un.
dertaken, largely by the Germans un-
der Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
1t is said the German troops, with
heavy guns, aeroplanes and Zeppehns,
already are passing through the valley
Of the River Adige in the direction Of
Verona, and that rapid and fierce
blows will be delivered almost imme-
diately at the Italian center. This, the
Germans doubtless believe, would
serve to hold off an Italian advance
from the province of Venice, where the
flat nature Of the country would give
! the Italians greater chance of sue
cess.
| Throughout Austria and Germany
there is bitter denunciation Of Italy,
which for the moment has replaced
England as the most hated enemy.

Flank Movement.

London. Russia has commenced her
counter-offensive against the Austro-
Germans, who drove her Carpathian
armies back to the San and Dneister
rivers, and an entirely new battle is
developing.
~ The Russians, with strong re-en-
forcements, have crossed the San con-
fluence with the Vistula and are ad-
vancing southwark in an effort to out
flank the Germans, who crossed the
San In the vicinity Of Jaroslau. They
also are striking hard at the Austrians
In Bukowina, but have apparently
made no further Roadway there, nor
with their offensive In the Opatow re-
gion. The latter offensive, however,
was movement to uncover the Ger.

ceeded partly in doing.
In the Baltic provinces the Germans
claim to have defeated the Russian
northern wing in the region Of Shawn

of attacks along the greater part OF

The value Of tobacco on active serv-
Ice Is now 30 well esteemed by the
military authorities that today one
sees the British government doing
what 1t had never done before-su
plying free tobacco to the troops.
Only within comparatively recent
times. however, has this necessity
been officially recognized. Wellington
condemned the practice of smoking az
being "a species Of intoxication occa-
stoned by the fumes Of tobacco"
Official efforts to discourage the use
Of tobacco were completely negatived
IN the Crimean war. The prtvations
suffered then by the troops resulted
IN ofYicers and men taking to the
panacea adopted by their French and
Turkish allies, and by its aid their
discomforts were so alleviated that
ever since the practice Of smoking on
active service has been countenanced
by those In command.
In consequence tobacco has played
. notable and beneficial part in the
wars Of the past century--in fact,
from Waterloo to South Africa. Prob

Fighting also is in progress in Cour
land, along the East Prussian frontier
and In Central Poland, where the Ger

along the Rawka river. None Of these
acts apparently has been decisive, al
though heavy losses have been 81
fered on both sides. Russia expresses
satisfaction with the situation along
her front.
Heavy fighting has been resumed in
the west from Arras to the sea, and
both Germans and French claim the
advantage.
It is evident that the allies do moi
intend to relax their efforts on this
front, although a big general move
ment has not yet been undertaken, the
present operations having as their OBJ

Why He Kept a Servant.

In the days when he was superin-
tendent of the Portsmouth dockyard
In England. Lord Fisher, the present
admiral of the British feet, had the
seadog attitude toward the men; he
frequently tested them with all the
hsrshness Of whaling captain; they.
in turn, treated him with a half
friendly. half-hostile familiarity.
Several years after his Portsmouth
days Fisher visited one OF his old as
sociates of the forecastle who was
then living ON half-pay. He found the
old man comfortably settled In cot
tage, attended by another superaHnu-
ated seaman.

Four DAYS in a Well.

In Georgia colored man employed
by a doctor to do general chores has
a habit of going off hunting for few
days without giving any notice of his
intention, SO the other day when he
did not show up. no inquiries were
made. But this time he was hunting
for help. While passing through a
field at night he fell into an old un-
covered well, forty feet deep. He
could not climb out, so he passed the
night yelling for help. The next day
he yelled some more. but no help
came. Fortunately the well was dry,
SO he got sleep, but his situation was
sufficiently desperate. 1t was on the
afternoon of the fourth day that some
laborers heard faint Hello" and
tracing the sound rescued the man
from his queer prison. He looked
weak, but was not bodily injured, and
a hearty meal set him all right again.
