the hip where he had accidentally shot
himself. Unable to bring Gibson out of
the woods alone, Webster went to the
nearest farm, which was the Charles
Gibbs place, for help. When he returned
he was unable to find the wounded man.

assisted by some other hunter to some
farm house, but efforts to locate him
have thus far been unsuccessful
Gibson was visiting his aunt, Mrs
William Foote, in South Burlington. He
left her home at about noon yesterday
to go hunting She warned him against
accidents and he laughingly brushed
aside her fears, saying, "0h, | won't get
shot" Mrs. Foote got a telephone mes
sage last night from Mr.. Webster, noti-
tying her of the accident.
The place where Webster says he came
across Gibson was in the woods on the
Essex Center plain. lie understood that
Gibson received his wound while crawling
through fence, the gun being discharged
accidentally. Searching parties went out
asst night and again to-day but have not
'ound the place.

Germans Feared Offensive.

] Rome, May 23, Via. Paris, May "A, I 1:30 a. m.-The Austrian offensive on 1 the Trentino front and the furious | efforts of the Germans to gain de- 1 c;sion at Verdun are explained in a | semi-official statement published 1 here, as a result of concerted effort on the part Of the Central Powers to prevent an expected simultaneous attack by the allies on all fronts. The Central Empires says the statement, wish to prevent even at the cost of enormous sacrifice of men and material, the allies from taking the initiative in the war operations and attacking them simultaneously on all fronts Such is the plan of the Central Powers as revealed by the great Austrian offensive on the Tren- tino front while the Germans are reviving their offensive against Verdun.
 "Germany and Austria aim at wearing out France and Italy, count ing on the temporary halt in the Russian operations continuing. They hope that when Russia is ready to resume the fight the other two nations will be so worn out as to need a rest This view is confirmed by
 
 who have been taken prisoner.
 The statement concludes with an assertion that the Austro German plans must fail, as all of the allies will be able to pass from the present defensive stage to decisive, simul- taneous action. This great joint offensive, it is declared, will bring about the downfall of the Teutonic Powers.
 News from the front says that the Austrians are widening the scope of their offensive with the intention of preventing the Italians from concen- trating any considerable force of men and guns at threatened points. The Austrians continue to make their principal effort in the Adige and Sugana Valleys. One of their most important advances was along the Lessini Mountains in Italian territory They were driven from this district by an Italian counter attack
