500 AUSTRIAN TOWNS
IN ITALIAN HANDS
Northcliffe Finds Proof of Teutons'
Expectation to Invade
Venetia.

LONDON, Aug. 16-Continuing his
description of the Italian front, Lord
Northcliffe writes:
Proof of the Austrian expectation
of swarming down on the Venetian
plain is afforded by documents recent
ly captured, giving the names of. of
ficers appointed as governors of sucn
important Italian cities as Vicenza
Many indeed arrived on the plain
as prisoners, and are now quarreling
among themselves as to what brought
disaster upon them. 1t is those YER
dammite Magyars,' say the Austrians;
it is those Austrian swine say the
Magyars.
Motoring in Austria is most
pleasant. Italy holds a good deal
more of Austria than seems to be
understood. No fewer than SEQ Aus
trian communities are already under
Italian administration. The Austrian
names have been removed from the
streets, the Hamburg-America adj
vertisements have been painted over.
The black and yellow frontier posts
and tabaktrafiken have been done
away with, and only the, comfortable
Austrian gasthauser remain"

the death on the battle line somewhere

as he was called 20 the colors in Au-
gust of 1914 WITH all otter natives
Of France of military age For the
first 90 months he was with a hospita,
train. His zeal for the most active
service made him impatient of this
position, because it was comparatively
safe one" and not strenuous enough
TO suit his energetic nature. After the
FIRST few months he endeavored to be
sent to the front in the zone of real
danger, where he thought he was
needed most, and finally succeeded, go
ing to the Verdun district in the ual
capacity as a member of the Ambu,
lance corps an as chaplain.
The last letter received from him
by fellow-priests at st. Mary's was six
weeks ago from Verdun The cable
message did not state whether he met
his death there or in the Somme. It
merely stated that he had died on the
field of battle.
Father Bioletti was in the prime of
life, 80 years old, having been born at
Lyons, France, in 1878. He came to
America in 1905 and spent his first
year in Washington. He was appointed
to st. Charles College in 1906 and un-
til 1912 taught Latin and French there
serving also as perfect of the junior
dii Iision from 1917 to 1912.

bLUEF|ELD ELKS

tically perfected the program for the

pected and many of them will arrive

deliberately decorated In addition the

to hold the annual fair during the

make it so. There will be plenty of
amusement and music will swell the
breeze from all sections of the city.
The first day of the reunion will
be devoted to the registration of WISH
