EMO Tipping Allowed"

The person who shall knowingly

fail to keep conspicuo1siy posted IN
every place under his control a notice
bearing the words, "No Tipping Al

uaisdemeanor and he shall b. punish

The law is said to be the most
drastic of any of the anti-tipping laws
passed by any of the states 1t will
operate to cut off a goodly part of tho
revenue of porters on sleeping and
dining cars running between this city
and Chicago, and vice versa, unless
the tipping is done in Illinois.

ITALIANS ASSAULT \
AUSTRIAN LINE @
WITH vIGOR
Tired of Slow Progress Italians
Storm Austrian Forts
ATTACK ALONG 75-MIlE FRONT
Carso Trenches Stormed and Two
Thousand Prisoners Taken In
One Days Fighting.

Turin, July 20, dispatch to The
London Daily Chronicle.) THE great
battle ON the most important sector
of all in the Italo-Austrian war, that
of the Isonzo River, appears to be
nearing its eliminating phase. A gen
eral assault is at this moment going
forward all along the seyenty-five-
mile front from Jarvis to the Adriatic
shore
In the northern district, from NAL
borgeth to Caporetto, the giant task
has been confined chiefly to the big
ger artillery There, rs well as in
the central tract down to Goritz, the
Pr2emysl of the lsonzo, greater pro-
gress has already been realized than
l am permitted to specify, for at a
number of points where the Italians
have cleared the way for a rapid and
decisive advance such partial and iso-
lated advances are being withheld
lest they should lead to the formation
of an insecure salient which without
immediate support could not perhaps
be utiu, even DIT luS tusI ol a. hehfS
sacrifice Of life.
The most pronounced is the victor
ious Italian advance lower down on
the Carso plateau, east of Sagrado.
Here a terrific onslaught lasted the
whole day on Monday, during which
there was co-ordnated movement
between the advance of the largest
masses Of infantry yet employed. and
the continuous support OF heavy guns
and field pieces. 1t worked out to
perfection. Before the sun had sunk
below the horizon the Italians had
carried row upon row of terraced
trenches on rising ground, thickly
sown with barbed-wre entanglements
and studded with armored bomb
proof shelters. They bayoneted the
defenders by hundreds and captured
1000 prisoners, among them 80 ofIi-
GERS; 1000 rifles, six quick-firing
guns, and good quantity of ammuni-
ton.

mined work of the volunteer fire fight
ers saved them from destruction al
though they are considerably damag-

The fire was discovered by d. G.
Smith "a neighbor, just after $3.50
o'clock and he Immediately raised the
alarm. The residence of Mr.. Bay
brook was then burning briskly.
The family managed to escape un-
harmed although it was impossible
for them to save much in the way of
clothing or furniture.
The breeze from the north drove
the flames away from the greater
part of the village and this undoubt-
edly prevented greater loss than
has been sustained The store build
ing of Mr.. Smith, being close to the
Baybrook house, caught fire almost
Immediately and then the flames
spread in order to the other two
houses. In the store building was
the barber shop of Fred Il. Phelps.
Practically nothing was saved from
the store and the loss of Mr. Smith is
placed at between $4,000 and SILL
600, partially covered by Insurance.
The loss on the Darling house is
placed at $4,000, on the Baybrook
house at $500 and on the Robinson
house at $1,000, all partly insured.
The Melendy telephone system was
worked to the limit Immediately after
it was realized that the fire was be-
yond local control The message sent
to the north village caused the hand
engine from that place to be rushc
over the road in record time and il
was soon on the bank of the river
pumping water at the side of the en-
gine owned in South Londonderry.
From Jamaica, Weston, Chester
and Winhall men poured into the vii
lage by teams and autos and spelled
the tired men ON the pumps of the en-
gines and relieved those whose faces
and hands were bistered by the
fierce heat as they handled the noz-
zles or used buckets of water and
pony chemical eXtinguishers.
