AuStrianS RedOuble
Efforts in Carnic Alps

Rome, June II via Paris).- Italian
successes at various points on the bat
tie line are claimed in an official state
ment from the War Office, which says:
Fighting to our advantage is re-
ported from all along the front not
ably at Seugnatorta and Brantonico, IN
the Adiga Valley; at Fedaja Pass and
Montepiano, in Galore, along the line
of crests from Vale Piccolo TO Vale
Graude in Carnia. where the enemy re-
doubled his efforts in the last few days,
and at certain points along the lsonzo,
where our troops are making secure
successes already obtained.
Especial importance attaches to the
action developed in the Monte Nero
zone by our Alpine troops to whom had
been intrusted the task Of dislodgIng
the enemy from ambushes among the
rocks which buttress the summit on the
northern side. II was begun at night
By a daring and difficult escalade Of
the crags. The action was continued
at dawn by impetuous attacks which
were crowned with complete success.
Up to the present the capture Of 30
prisoners, including IA officers, has
been announced, but this is only the
first instalment."

Sir Hiram Tells Tribune Man
How Apparatus Forces Poison

London, June l7.-Slr Hiram Maxim

paratus. Unfortunately, the mechanl-
clans TO whom the manufacture was en-,
trusted spoiled the entire work, ana
the tests had 10 be postponed until
next week.
Sir Hiram Maxim told The Tribune

chlorine gas reaches the trenches II Is
very slightly heavier than air. when

is one hundred times as much air as
gas.
INV invention will force the fumes
over the heads Of the soldiers in the
trenches. This is the only way TO neu-
tralize its effects Respirators are use

descend 10 the use of poisonous gas,
and am convinced that when the GER

fumes can be dispersed they will dis

U. s. GOODS BELIEVED
FOISTED ON BRITISH

London, June 17.-Rumors are cur
rent that representations have been
made to the American Embassy that
one Of the great difficulties standing IN
the way of the settlement of certain
cases Of shipments Of packers products
which the British government is de-
tanning is the belief on the part Of the
government that the packers have
shipped over large quantities Of prod
ucts which are practically useless and
non-salable here.
The implication is, according TO these
rcports. that these shipments have
been made so that the British would
seize them and pay for the products
rather than permit them to 90 through
TO Germany. Il cannot be ascertained
whether formal representations have
been made 10 the embassy, but II IS
understood that Ambassador Page made
a report on the subject to Washington.
Another phase Of the British BLOCK
ade which is beginning TO attract at
tention is the large shipments OF cot

that Greece will join the Allies. The
