by thirty to fifty miles.
Real Drive at Austria.

The real movement of troops is to
come through Greece and Serbia into
Austria. and French officers in COM
mand at Saloniki have never doubted
their ability at any time during the
last two months to move forward and
OCCUPY Serbia whenever they are pre-
pared to begin the campaign. But
they have been held back by the
knowledge that facilities at Salonlkl
for dockage of transports and ar
rival of supplies, guns and ammunl-
ton have been entirely inadequate
for the continual support OF an ad-
vancing victorious army, gradually
getting further from its base.
In order to change these condl-
tions the leading dockage engineers
of Great Britain and France have
been for months working with thou
sands of laborers on plans which will,
when completed, create at Salonlkl
the greatest and most complete sys-
tenn of wharves, each over a mile and
a half long, are already under con-
strnction. and when these plans are
completed it is estimated that full!
fifty transports can discharge side Dy
side without difficulty or confusion.
The allies, however, are facing the
fact that the completion of these
plans will take at least another eight
months, and it is declared that until
that time no real advance into Serbia
will be made, but that when it is
made the invasion of Austria will be-
come a certainty a few weeks after
the word is given to move forward.
Another complication, of course, is
the uncertainty which still exists as
to the attitude of the German party
in Greece. The delay in creating the
necessary dockage facilities is for
many reasons considered not at all
disadvantageous under present cir
cumstances, because at this time,
even if transport service could be
amply cared for, the French officers
in command of the troops at Saloniki
could not contemplate a forward
movement with the possibility of be-
ing compelled to hold large masses of
troops at the base to take care of
nter-demonstrations in their rear.
Twelve Superdreadnoughts.
British admiralty officials are de-
lighted with the marvellous work that
has been done in English dock yards
in the building of new dreadnoughts.
Wonderful results, which have not
up to this time been made public,
have been accomplished in this direc-
tion.
Twelve new battleships of the su-
perdreadnought type are now prac-
tically ready for sea. Four of these,
the four largest and most powerful
weapons of offense that have ever
been placed on the water, are $50
feet long, with a speed of over thirty
knots, and are armed with twelve
eighteen-inch guns. No such arma
ment as this has ever been before
contemplated in the history of naval
architecture, and it is considered that
ships of this type are capable of win
ming any sea fight in which they may
be engaged.

kind, as a mllltary necessity, tndl
cost him his command.
The immense quantities of ammu-
nitions stored by the allies back of
their lines are being added to con-
stantly, and to such an extent has
this condition been improved that it
is becoming common knowledge that
before the new year the necessity for
securing completed munitions from
the United States will be over. The
allies will continue to need sheet cop>
per and empty brass cases from the
United States and other countries,
but orders for ammunition ready for
use will undoubtedly fall off greatly
in the near future.
In the meantime every possible
weakness in the German lines is be-
ing utilized in wedge-driving actions
in order to complicate and break up
straight lines wherever possible. 1t
is the belief of the allied command
ers that by this method they will be
able, while maintaining practically
the same front as at present, to in
crease the length of line to be held

1t appears that a recent story from
Browns Valley bearing claims that
the Great Northern railway is about
to electrify the branch line is sim
pie fake. The story has gained wide
circulation here and developments are
being awaited. The story gained cir
culation at the Valley about month
ago when certain Morris conductor,
firing Of answering fool questions
regarding the proposed changes which
he knew nothing about, stated the
line would be electrified and and cars
run at hour intervals with diners and
sleepers and library buffets. He had
a slight suspicion that his fabrication
would be given credence in some
quarters but was surprised later to
discover the bait, hook and line had
been swallowed at one gulp. The
Great Northern, it is stated on ap-
parently reliable authority, has no in
tention of running electric cars on the
Browns Valley line, at least not for
the immediate future.

DEAD MAN HILL
 ATTACK COSTLY, FRENCH ASSERT
Germans Suffer Heavy Loss In New Offensive, Paris
 Reports.

Paris, June 1.-More complete ac- counts reaching here from Verdun show that the battle which ragged from May 27 to May 30 and which ended, according to statement of the French war office, in a costly check for the Germans, was the greatest eff fort made by the Teutonic forces in the whole Verdun operations. More and heavier guns and denser masses of troops were assembled along the three miles of trench from Hill BOA to the Mouse than in any previous at tack.
 The French stood firm under an av- aIanche of shot and shell and drove back wave after wave of a flood of dered about one hundred yards of ground at Little Caurettes Wood, where a trench had been ob1iterated by the terrific fire of the German big guns.
 According to information given by prisoners, the German forces consisted of two fresh brigades with three com panies of pioneers. The mission of the latter troops was to work around Gu mieres and reach the Chattancourt village by the road running parallel to the rear. Another brigade was i'm rows which border Chattancourt to the west while other attachments, act ing still further to the west; were to support the attack.
 In the opinion of French military critics, the result was not only a cost ly failure for the Germans but a suc- cess for the French such as they have rarely attained.
 The Germans suffered so heavily that they ceased further attacks while the French by a prompt counters att tack, re-established themselves again south of Cumferes and at an impor- tant point of vantage on the slope ot Dead Man Hill. It develops that dur ing yesterdays battle west of the Mouse, the Germans attacked the French line between Dead Man Hill and Cumieres for distance of three quarters of a mile. The French bat talior1s, however who had retired be- fore the unprecedented artillery fire,
