Rome, via Paris.-The effectiveness
Of Italian Alpine troops in repulsing
two Austrian attempts to cross the
frontier through passes of the Alps
at an altitude of 1000 feet is praised
by the Italian War Office in the Off
cial statement. The announcement
says:
"In the steep, rugged zone of the
Furva Valley the enemy, who, on the
4th had reconnoitered by patrols.
which were Immediately driven back
through the Vicz Pass 10000 feet
high), delivered an attack on the night
of the 9Th across the Forno Glacier
against our troops posted near the ho-
tel of the same name, while another
detachment advanced through the
Gedeva1e Pass (11,000 feetl against
those of our troops who occupied
Capanna Cedese.
"The watchfulness of our Alpine
troops, who, Notwithstanding glaciers
and high peaks, are necessarily active,
succeeded in frustrating this bold dou-
BILE maneuver, and the enemy was
soon repulsed. He was then counter
attacked and forced to fee.
"In Cadore small encounters turning
in our favor are reported in the high
valleys of Ansier and Visdende. In
one of these fights we took prisoner
40 light infantrymen.
Isolated infantry and artillery ac-
tions also took place in CaTnia, in the
Valley of the Torrent of Epntebbana.
An Austrian detachment trying to
climb the Italian slope was attached
and put to flight"
Got Five Miles Into Italy.
Brescia, Italy, via Paris.-The ex-
plot of Austrian troops called for au-
dacity and endurance which Italians
concede rival feats of their own Alpine
soldiers, of whom they are SO proud.
The Austrian mountaineers succeeded
in penetrating Italian territory for
some distance before they were driven
back.
The Austrians made their advance
through the Furva Valley. They were
obliged to cross granite mountains IL
900 feet high, covered with snow. They
also made their way over the Forno
Glacier, the largest of go in that
region, being eight miles wide.
After surmounting these difficulties
the Austrians succeeded in penetrating
Ave miles beyond the border, but when
detected and attacked by Italian troops
were forced to fall back.

BALKANS NOW TO

Both Sides Make Desperate
Efforts for Support
ISSUE is FAR-REACHlNG
Allies To Smash Their Way Through
the DardaneIIes Before the
Teutons Can Get TO
Constantinople.

London overshadowing
in Importance even the operations in
Poland are being made in the Balkan
theater of war.
British operations against the Dar-
danelles and Austro-German threats
against Serbia are beginning to evolve
themselves into a race for the support
of the Balkan States
The Balkan situation at present
dominates all others in all the capitals
of Europe.
Everything points to vigorous Of
fensiye by the Austro-G Germans against
Serbia at an early date with the object
of crushing the Serbian army in order
to force Bulgaria to give free passage
to Teuton forces needed for the relief
of Constantinople.
Leading critics in Italy and France
consider this plan of the German gen
eral staff very serious. Should it sue
ceed 1t would involve the complete
failure of the Allies efforts at the
DardanelIes and the final immobiliza-
tion of the Balkan States, whose CO.
operation is now sought by the
quadrlple entente.
The Allies Hope.
No great hope is entertained that
the Allies will succeed in inducing the
Balkan States to intervene on their
side but it is hoped that they will re-
main neutral.
In order to defeat the Germans at
their own plan the Allies on Gallipoli
have commenced tremendous often
sive against the Turks in desperate
effort to smash the Dardanelles de-
fenses and reach Constantinople be-
fore Germany can throw an army
through Servia. More than $4,000
fresh troops have been landed on Cal
lipoli within the last week and their
appearance has heralded violent
drive on the entire front
Still more reinforcements, both
French and British, are semi-oficialiy
reported en- route for the Straits.
Intense naval activity is evident in
cooperation with the land attacks of
the Allies. Unofficial dispatches con-
tinue to report the torpedoing of the
Turkish cruiser Goeben (renamed Sui
tan Selim after her purchase from Ger
many by Turkey by British sub
marine which penetrated into the
Black Sea.
Demands for the opening Of a path
to Turkey are being voiced in Berlin
and proclamations that Germany Is
preparing to send an army to aid the
Turks are being spread broadcast in
Constantinople, according to the latest
adyices.

Russians.

London.-The commencement of
new and greater efforts to force the
Dardanelles and thus bring succor to
the Russians, and at the same time to
influence the Balkan States, is the
latest feature of the war news.
The renewed attempt against the
Turkish positions, which apparently is
in full swing, seems to be concerted
one. Attacks are being made at the
tip of the peninsula, along the Krithia
road, where gain of 200 yards on a
front of 300 yards has been made, and
at Sari Bair, where an important crest
has been occupied, according to Gen.
Sir Ian Hamilton, commander-in-chief
of the British forces
ELSEWHERE" General Hamilton's
report continues, "a fresh landing has
been successfully effected and con-.
siderable progress made"
This landing evidently was sur
prise to the Turks, as $50 prisoners, a
number of guns and a quantity of MAJ
terial are declared to have been taken
by the British forces.
italy To Lend Hand.
The forcing of the Dardanelles is
realized by the military critics here to
be of the greatest Importance, for they
assert that it is the only way that the
Allies can render immediate aid to
Russia and repay her for the great
sacrifices she has made for the COM
mon cause. In addition, it is believed
by the military observers that sue
cess here would bring the Balkan
States definitely over to the side of
the Quadruple Entente powers in the
war. Italy is understood to be pre-
pared to lend hand in the Darda-
nelles operations.

Washington. General Venustiano
Carranza, first chief of the Constitu-
tionalist faction in Mexico, has defied
the United States and the Latin.
American powers represented in the
Pan-American Mexican conference to
interfere in the internal affairs OF
Mexico
In reply the UNITED States ordered
the remainder of the fourth battle
ship division of the Atlantic feet to
proceed to Southern waters. The
Louisiana and New Hampshire are al
ready on their way. The Connecticut
is. in Haiti The Kansas and Mime
sofa are undergoing repairs and will
probably go later. The collier Cy-
clops also has sailed These ships will
have on board about 5000 marines
and bluejackets.
Ships To Wait At Guantanamo.
The division is under the command
of Rear-Admirar Walter Mclean,
whose flagship is the Louisiana. The
vessels will establish a base at Guam
tanamo, Cuba, within easy striking
distance of the Mexican coast.
AS fast as possible the marines sent
to Haiti to settle it's troubles will be
brought out and established at Guanta-
namo to await further orders.
While this activity was being. dis
played by the Navy Department, Sec
retary of War Garrison telegraphed
General Funston. in command on the
border, that every available soldier
would be sent him if needed. General
Funston now has $4,000 men on the
line, with 1000 more at Texas City,
making a total of 21,000 men. The
1000 men at Texas City will probably
be moved to the scene of action.
Letters Breathe Defiance.
Carranza's letters to Secretary Ian
sing, Latin-American members of the
Pan-American Conference and to the
Presidents of Brazil, Argentine and
Chile contained solemn warning that
any attempt by these countries to set
up a government in Mexico would lead
to serious consequences. These COM
munications, which were made public
by the Carranza agency here breathed
tone of defiance that indicated a
determination on the part of Car
ranza to fight.
To Fight Intervention.
Evidently with the purpose of show
ing that Carranza in his defiance to
the United States was backed by his
generals, a letter to Carranza from
Gen. Candido Aguilar, Governor and
military commander of the State of
Vera Cruz. in which he protests
against outside interference in the in
ternal affairs of Mexico and pledges
himself to fight it, was made public.
The imposing documentary array
was accepted in official circles here as
tantamount to a fiat declaration by
Carranza that the only activity on the
part of this or any other Government
to which he will agree is the recogni-
ton Of his Government and that he
will oppose with force any attempt by
the United States. acting alone or with
the six Latin-American countries, to
set up any other government in
Mexico.
