COLUMBUS, N. NJ. May 1s.-The
northward movement of the Ameri-

apparent that the major part OF
General Pershing's army is being
concentrated at Cclonia Dubian in
the outskirts of Casas Grandes, 125
miles from the border.
Information regarding the move
ment is einbg censored here, but il
is understood that the approaching
rainy season and the consequent diff
ficulty in delivering supplies to the
expedition is at least one of the rea-
sons for the rapid concentration
northward from the original field
base. Pershing's camp Is being pre-
pared for a long stay. Large ship
ments of lumber being sent there
indicates that substantial buildings
for protection against any kind OF
weather are being constructed.
Accompanying the northward
movement of the American column
the Carranza garrison has evacuated
Ascension and is marching south

umn. 1t is believed here they are
bound for El Vale which has been
completely evacuated by Pershing's

Intimated That Prosecution VIII
Spring Surprise When Taking
of Testimony Begins.

WAUKEGAN, Illinois, May 49,
While deputy sheriffs searched Lake
county trying to find 100 men who
knew nothing of the case, States
Attorney Dady was guarding close
ly as secret the testimony to be
given against William Orpet,
charged with the murder of Miss
Marian Lambert. by Miss Josephine
Davis, close friend of Marian's.
The testimony of the Davis girl may
clear up many mysteries in connec-
tion with the case. Josephine, 1t Is
said, will tell where Orpet spent the
night before his tryst with Marian
in Helms woods. Orpet declared
that he wandered about in the snow
on the Mccormick estate. Dady, II
is reported, has learned that the
death trip was preceded by clan
destine meeting between the princi-
pals in the tragedy.
Deputy sheriffs who spent all
night rounding up veniremen in ev-
cry hamlet in Lake county seeking
new panel of 100 men believed
that an impartial jury could not be
found. Out of nearly 200 men ques.
toned only four tentative jurors
have been secured. These are sub
ject to the SO challenges the defense
and state have in store.

AMSTERDAM. May fs.--Three
hundred thousand Austrian troops
!nre concentrated ON 3J-miie front
ready to strike against the Italian
line In the Tyrolcsc Alps in the most
determined Austrian offensive against
Italy since the beginning of the war.
OFFICIAL dispatches transmitted
from Vienna gave no hint OF the cx-
act nature OF the operations. sever
al military critics intimatcsl that AT
strIa is developing great offensive
which II bent ON an Invasion of
Italy.
The fighting is spreading eastward
from the Adigc valley across the high
Alpine peaks and rock platcaus. The
Italians have been driven southwark
on u five-mile front from Piazza to
the upper Astico valley. The Vienna
war office claims the capture Of
Zegnatorta, south Of R0veret0,
though the Italian war office reports
the repuise or heavy Austrian at
tacks at that point. The losses In
tho three days OF severe fighting
runs well into the thousands. Ital-
ian dispatches report that many
bodies were swept down the swift
flowing Atlige river.
For some time II has been known
that heavier fighting was develop
ing all along the Italian 'front.'" says
a Berlin critic. .'The entire front
from Isonxo 10 Lake Garda has been
set In action. The Austrian attack
at Tyrol has apparently developed
along wide front with the left wing
on Sugane valley and the right wing
In the Asiigc valley. The Austrian
troops have achieved more In this
vicinity than the Italians In whole
year, for at no time has the Italians
captured amy Austrian positions on
Il 25-milc 'front.'"
