been striving to avert war.
Following the conference with Ian.

HOW ITALY STOPPED
BIG AUSTRIAN DRIVE

TRENTIN0, Front, June 29.-Trench
warfare has been abandoned here.
Trench lines no longer count.
Great troop masses are manoeuvring
In the open, through the valleys and
gorges, swarming over the SUBMITS
Of the mountains. The Austrians dare
advance only rs far as their guns will
reach, and are bending all their energy
10 bring up these G'I1s.
It Is sledgL hammer tactics, so dear
10 the PrusJians, that the Austrian
commanders have adopted.
Unlike Verdun, 1t Is not a fortress
that Is being assaulted. but a great
drive, by siege methods, not converg-
ing on a centre, nut radiatjns, like the
sticks Of a fan, from central base.
The Austrians have more than 1000
pieces Of artillery along this battle
line. These include a great number
Of heavy-calibre guns. Naval guns,
With an extreme length Of range, are
used with great skill throughout the
engagement. Kept in reserve, and
usually silent, though posted close up
to the firing line, they have had dis
tconcerting effect, in that their fire has
reached far behind the Italian lines al
intervals between the attacks, firing
shots at random which did little dam
age, but gave the impression OF con
tinued advance,

erature, and a courteous attendant. In
every hotel in the State there should
be cards inviting guests to visit the
bureau, and the latter should be pre-
pared with all kinds Of information,
serving as a medium to connect the
inquirer with the sources OF activity
in which he is interested. Through a
clipping bureau, at New York and San
Francisco, the effect of such publicity
work would be quickly proven and the
Nevadans would be amazed at the net
results within year. The cost of the
service would be returned hundred
times over and continue at this ratio"

couragement in their local efforts to

COLUMBUS. N. NJ, June 2s.-Fivs
minutes after receiving report this
morning that the Mexican cavalry was
concentrating near Guzman, 20 miles
east of General Pershing's line OF

a regiment Of militia rushing across
the boundary to render the necessary
protection.
This is the first military movement
into Mexico since mobilization began.
Militia officers Of half a dozen dif.

picked the regiment which he consid.
cred best fit for quick movement and

SWISS EXPERT SAYS
GERMAN RESERVES LARGE

ZURICH, June ga Swiss military
expert says:
"The hope Of the Allies to over
whelm the German armies on the wes-
tern front with numerically superior
forces Is sure to be dashed. Germany
has 100000 entirely fresh troops, be-
cause the recruits of 1916 are now
ready for field service and part al
ready are at the front. The 1917 re-
cruits are in training and can be used
to fill gaps.
"The French reserves are used up,
with the exception of the class of 1917
and even these youngest troops may
have to be thrown into the struggle
before Verdun. The large armies or
ganized by Englan.. are only partly
available fer service at the front.
