 The Perseverance poys have not been able to practice as much as other teams around the Channel towns on account of the deep snow at the mine this year which refused to melt. and which had to be shoyeled from their diamond be- fore they could start practicing at all.

AUSTRIANS GAIN
WEST OF ARSER0
Capture Fortified Works
ard Dam in Astico
Valley.
ITALIANS REPULSE
LAGARINA ATTACKS
Consolidate Positions on Asiag0
Plateau, Dominating
River Basin.

Paris, May 29.-Furious attacks along
the whole Italian front yesterday and
to-day won the Austrians an advance
only in the Posins -Astico sector, where
they captured the fortified works at
Cornowo, west of Arsiero. and forth
fed dam across the Italyssa, in the
Asigo district. Everywhere else the
attacks we're repulsed with heavy
losses. On the Asiago plateau the ltal-
ians arc consolidating positions donni-
mating the Aiago basin.
The Italian Minister OF War has
made a detailed report on the military
situation in the Council of Ministers,
supporting the opinion of the high COM
mand that the present state of affairs
need cause no anxiety.
II is said that the Italian Socialist
leader, Deputy Bissolati, who is serv-
ing as a sergeant of the Alpinis and
who recently came TO Rome 10 confer
al length with the members of the gov
eminent, has left for Paris on sps-
cial mission, the nature of which is not
disclosed.
"In the Lagarina Valley Sunday night
and Monday morning" says the oficisl
Italian communication, "the enemy re-
newed his stubborn, sanguinary at
tacks against our positions between the
Adige and Val d'Arsa. The attacks
were always broken by the firm resist
ance of our troops. In the Posina-
Astico sector the intense artillery duel
continued yesterday. A large force Of
the enemy in the afternoon attacked
part of our position south of the
Posina torrent, but after a determined
struggle it was repulsed with consider
able losses.
con the Asiago plateau our troops
are now occupying and consolidating
positions dominating the Aiago basin.
A brilliant counter attack by the 14th
Regiment relieved two batteries which
had been surrounded on Monte Mosciag
and saved the guns. In the Sugana
Valley there were some skirmishes.
"On the remainder OF the front the
artillery actions were especially intense
at PLAYA and Monfalcone."
The Austrian statement says:
"Austro-Hungaria troops captured
the fortified works at Cornowo. west OF
Arsiero, and the fortified dam across
the ltalysss, southwest of Monte Inter
rotto, in the fortified district of Asgo."

BRITAIN TAXES
U. S. SECURITIES
Commons Adopts Measure
to Force Sale of Hold
ingS to Government.

London, May 29.-Tn the House Of
Commons to-day Reginald McKenns.
Chancellor of the Exchequer, moved
the resolution he gave notice Of last
week. the purpose Of which is to COM
pei sale TO the government under the
mobilization plan Of American securi-
ties hitherto withheld by their own
ers. Mr.. McKenna's measure imposes
an additional income tax of two shill-
ings in the pound on American securi-
ties. exempting those which are de-
nosited with the Treasury.
Harold j. Tenant, Parliamentary
Under Secretary for War, explained
that as the balance Of trade was
against England there was a limit 10
the expectation Of gold. A loan al
ready having been raised in America.
the government had resorted 70 the
mobilization of securities TO meet the
balance of liabilities.
This scheme. Mr.. Tenant said, had
been carried out with great care and
without any injury TO the American
market The government had been
able 10 pay its way and preserve
substantial balance in New York to
enable it to meet charges which might
become due. For some months past.
however, the supply Of American Sc.
curities offered to the government had
Gwindled from torrent to little more
than a trickle.
Debate revealed that the resolution
was applicable TO any foreign securi-
ties, but that the Treasury must be
willing TO buy a security before it
could be affected By the tax.
The resolution was adopted. The
tax goes into effect July for one
year
