Miss Asquith. who on physical APP

GENEVA. July 9-Swiss soldiers and

of the fighting between Italy and Aus

heights overlooking the Valteline
valley.
Stelvio pass is an important back
door entrance into Italy. threatening
Milan. twas strongly fortified by the
Austrians and manned by large body
of mountain artillery. The Italians
have similarly fortified other passes
nearby, and there daily artillery
duelS, while at night the whole district
is swept by searchlights. Swiss SOL
diers on sentry duty a few miles away
keep constant watch over the scene.
Near the point where the Swiss. Italian
and Austrian frontiers meet there are
several villages where the inhabitants
all speak a half dozen languages and
dialects.
The principal pass was buried under
two feet of snow when war. began be-
tween Austria and Italy, but the Aus

their bases anu supporting artillery be-
low, so that they have to depend for
orders and instructions on the field
telephone.
The Italian batteries on the lower
ridges obtained the exact range of the
summit of the pass after few expert
ments, and they keep up continual
cannonade, firing through the clouds,
of course without seeing the result of
their shots.
The Red Cross workers on both sides
experience the greatest difficulty in
reaching the wounded a isolated places
in the upper ranges. The nurses in
this district must qualify as skilled
Alpinists.
Smugglers are making huge sums
through dealings in tobacco, matches,
salt and other articles whose export is
forbidden by all three countries. Most
of the smugglers are young women,
who climb many thousand feet into the
passes with their little bundles of
goods The soldiers seldom insist on
strict observance of the expectation
rules in these cases. and even the off-
GERS buy their wares gladly. Young
Swiss women are able to sell their five
cent cigars at "a profit of 10 or 10 cents
each. although the price is scarcely ex-
orbitant when it is considered that
the young woman must make trip OF
several miles along the most perilous
mountain roads and run the risk of
being shot as spy in order TO reach
her market

STEP IN DEVELOPMENT
Of FRENCH MILITARY
Two More Undersecretaries of State
for War Are Ap-
pointed.
Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
PARIS. July 10.--The passage of the
law framed by Deputy Jean Hennessy,
empowering the French government to
appoint two more undersecretaries of
state for war, in addition to the one
now charged with overseeing the pro-
duction of munitions, is still another
step along the line of centralized de-
velopment of the governments mill
tary organization. The new undersec-
retarieS viii be under Mr.. Millerand,
the minister of war. precisely as is
Albert Thomas, the undersecretary
charged with the production of NUM-
tons. In France, in contrast to Eng
land, there is but one civil head Of
everything pertaining to land opera
tions. and that head is the war min
lister.
The two posts just created include
the sanitary service of the army on the
one hand. and the feeding and clothing
the fighting men of France on the
other. The administration of both has
been the subject of some little parlia-
mentary criticism of late; it has there
fore been thought wise to give the
parliamentary critics some definite
personality to whom to address their
observations.

GERMAN PLAN OF ATTACK

PETROGRAD February 81 (v!a Lon

thrust back across the Nicmen. In
Northern Poland. and the Russian gen
eral staff believes another German plan
of attack upon Warsaw has been sue
cessfully countered.
Relationship is OWNED between the
stubborn German effort TO cut railroad
communication to the north from War
saw, and the coincident resumption OF
pronounced activity near Borjimow
Central Poland, west OF warsaw One
Russian staff officer says:
Evidently the Germans intend to
push forward again In the centre. For
this purpose they need reinforcemcnts
OF troops on the Borjlmow front. In
the kovno district activity is diminish
ing. Hence. Il is evident that the Ger
mans again are using their perfect
railway system to throw over troops
from kovno toward BorJimow.
I'm order that we shall not be able
to do the same thing. namely, rush
troops southwark to the Bzura and
Rawka Rivers. the Germans are max
ing desperate efforts. first with cavalry
and then with infantry, to cut the rail-
road from Warsaw north to Wilma.
Thanks to the watchfulness OF our
commanders and TO the indomIta BILE
energy OF our troops, the efforts OF the
enemy have been futile"
