valley to listen to a nightIngale's song. That song is not an exception,r he explained. "I have crossed this valley about this time of night for weeks on my way to my quarters, and that bird Is always singing. no matter how vio- lent the artillery noise"
 In the upper mountain districts the correspondent noted that the skylarks held to their usual haunts with the same tenacity as the nightingales in the lower country, flying in the air until they went out of sight above the snowy peaks, apparently undis- turbed by the whizzing of the shells that went through the air hundreds of feet above the soldiers.
 This explanation was advanced by an officer of the Alpini who had been many years in the mountains: These birds are used to the noises peculiar to the mountains. such as caused by the cracking Of ayalanches, the roll ing of boulders from the peaks into the valleys, and as artillery fire here makes a noise not so very different from these others. the birds are not frightened away"

 That the new effort of the Italians to advance will be unhandicapped by the difficulties of a year ago, when not only men but small arms and can non were lacking, may be appreciated by the fact that now the army is equipped with numerous heavy can non new artillery. manufactured in Italy.
 The correspondent saw these guns at work towards Monte Kuk and Monte San Michele the hitherto inn pregnable hills held by the Austrians. and again and again taken by the ltal-. laf soldiers at tremendous sacrifices, only to be compelled to surrender each time the crests of the hills becauseI Of the lack of heavy artillery to si-. lence the heavy Austrian cannon.
