WILL REWARD CLERKS
Of STATE DEPARTMENT

All of the large force Of temporary
employees in the State Department who
shall have rendered satisfactory serv-
ice during the six months preceding
July 1 next are to be given permanent
appointments without reference to tho
civil service law" under the terms of
an executive order just issued Many
of these employees have been in the
service of the department for several
years, carried along under special ap-
propriations ON the temporary rolls.
and most of them have developed pecu-
liar fitness for the discharge of the
duties confded to them. Up to this
time. however, it has not been possible
to include them in the regular force be-
cause of the temporary nature Of the
appropriations from which their sala-
ries were derived.
In the new legislative appropriation
act, however, provision has been made
for an increase of the permanent force
of thetState Department to degree

U. S. TROOPER WOUNDED
BY MEXICAN BANDITS

FIELD HEADQUARTERS. Mexico.
May 20, via wireless to Columbus. n.
NJ. May 22.-Thirteen troopers of the
7th Cavalry were fired upon yesterday
near the town of Temosachic and one
was wounded. The attack is ascribed
to bandits hiding under bridge near
the town. which is few miles south
east of MADEIRA. on the Mexico North
western railroad.
After a few shots the Mexicans fed
and the Americans continued on their
way.
A small group of Mexicans is falling
in behind the American columns as
they move northward. keeping out of
sight, but telling the natives that they
are chasing the "gringoes' from Mexi-
Americans halt, and hide or disarm If
Gen. Pershing's men approach them.

SOME ANXIETY FELT
FOR MAJ. LANGHORNE
Gen. Funston, However, Inclined to
Regard Shipping From Rear as
of Little Consequence.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. May 22.-some
anxiety as to the situation in which the
American troops south of Boquillas were
reported was displayed at Gen. Funs tons
headquarters early today. No official re-
ports indicating hostile movements of
any band near Col Sibley's two troops
of the 14th Cavalry had been received,
and, when last accounted for. Maj. Lang
horne and his two troops of the sth
Cavalry were moving northward to join
Col. S1pfey. II It is proven that the
little punitive column is in danger. it
is probable a force of the 9th Cavalry.
that has just arrived In the Big Bend
district, will be used as a reinforcement.
Oficers at department headquarters
were inclined to regard the sniping. to
which the rear guard of Gen. Pershing's 8
troops had been subjected. as the action
of a reduced force Of Villistas, and
relatively unimportant.

DISTRICT COMMITTEE
TO MEET TOMORROW
Police and Firemen's Pensions Ex-
pected to Occupy Attention
of House Body.

Police and fremen's pension matters
are expected to occupy the attention
of the House District committee when
it meets tomorrow.
The subcommittee appointed to draft
a. suitable bill for the retirement and
nensioning of disabled and superan-
nuated fremen is understood to be
practically ready to submit a. report
Chairman Ben Johnson and Repre-
sentatives Cary and Burke of Wiscon-
sin compose the subcommittee, which
has been at work on the measure for
some lime.
While nothing is known of the con-
clusions that may have been reached.
hope is expressed by District officials
and others that the bill will provide for
the pensioning of fremen at one-half
the salary received for active service.
Ratio Obtains Elsewhere.
This proportion is observed bv prac-
tically every large city in the country.
and 1t is believed that Congress will
not desire to do otherwise than place
District firemen on an equal basis with
those in other municipalities.

Enemy Will Be Checked.

BERLIN, May e, by wireless
to Sayville. n. Y.-Austro-Hun-
garian troops have carried the
peak of Armentara ridge, the
scene of some of the heavies,
fighting in the recently inau-
gurated offensive along the south
ern Tyrol front. This announce
ment is made in the official Aus
trian report OF May FL.
More than 5000 Italians were
captured on Saturday by the Aus
TRANS, who also obtained posses
sion of several villages. They
took twenty-five cannon and eight
machine guns, the statement says.
Austrian Advance steady.
The official Austrian reports of May
10 and 90 show further extensive gains
in the new offensive movement in the
southern Tyrol, which had carried the
Austrians on to Italian territory. The
statement Of May 20 records the expul-
sion of the Italians from Col Santo
ridge, southeast of Rovereto, and i'm
portant captures of men and guns.
Positions captured by the Austrians in
the offensive movement last week in
clude some of the points on the Italian
main line of resistance, the Overseas
News Agency says.
IA dispatch from Vienna gives the
text of an order issued by Lieut.. Gen.
Dechaurand of the Italian army on May
II. which was found on the colonel of
the 64th Regiment of Italian Infantry,
who was captured" the news agency
says.
To Be Defended to Utmost.
.1n the order it is stated that the
main line of resistance, which was to
be defended to the utmost. was the line
from Monte Maronia to Halga, Pra Dal
Bertoldi and Sogiodasplo. The order
stated that this line would be reinforc-
ed on both f1anks from positions fur
ther back, between Alpemalegna and
Baitodemarchi. The main points of
support were Capisald. Montemaronia,
costadaRra and Malga Pioyerne.

While the matter is still under

cate general and no recommended

retary Baker, it was indicated by
officials today that drastic action
would be taken in order to estab-
lish definitely the status of the
state soldiers.
Mobilization Nearly Completed.
The mobilization of the guardsmen of
the three border states is nearing COM
pletion, according to reports today.
sworn into the federal service are ex-
pected within day or two. No case OF
| refusal to take the mastering oath has
vet been reported from the New Mex

Under the present militia law Ma

punishable by fine after trial by mill
tary court-martial or in civil courts.
! So far as the study Of the situation by
War Department officials has yet pro-
| ceeded. however, the men cannot be
compelled to serve after they nave PAID

Carranza Note Due Tomorrow.
The state Department has been ad-
vised that a new note from Gen. Car
rama on the border situation probably
will reach Washington today or tomor-
| row. 1t will be transmitted through
| Eliseo Arredondo. the Carranza ambas-
| sador. Special Agent Rodgers at Mex
| leo City mas been unable as yet to re-
port what phase of the situation has
called forth the new communication.
Mr.. Rodgers has advised the State
| Department that Carranza officials in
Mexico City feel the border situation is
| less critical. Some officials believe 1t
possible that the new note deals with
the Glenn Springs raid. Representa-
tions were made by the State Depart
ment at that time which have not been
answered by Gen. Carranza. Mr.. Rod
gers recently was instructed to call the
attention of the Carranza government
to the facts.
May Refer to Second Expedition.
1t is probable that the new American
expedition sent over the line after the
raid may be the cause of the coming
note. Secretary Baker said today that
the Scott -Obregon understanding in no
way limited the pursuit of bandits.
Border reports insist that Col. Sibley,
commanding the new expedition, is al
| ready withdrawing his forces to the
| American side. but Secretary Baker
reiterated today that Gen. Funston had
not so advised the War Department.
He added. however, that the question
was wholly in Gen. Funston's hands.

OIQeT OF Lieut.. Ieu. DeCnduEdnQ were
designated not as advanced posi-
tions, but as important points on the
main line of resistance which were to
be defended to- the utmost"
Continues With Great vigor.
ROME, May 22.-The Austrian attack
continues with the greatest vigor along
the Trentino front, especially between
the Adige and Brenta rivers. These
rivers are only about twenty miles
apart. but the fighting line is subdi-
vided into four sections by high meun-
tains.
For over three months the Austrians
had prepared for the present offensive.
as they were anxious to abandon the
defensive attitude which they had
maintained along the whole front for
the entire year since Italy entered the
all the offensives in the present war.
the assailfng forces have at first an ap-
parent advantage. since the defenders
must abandon their advanced fortified
lines. the object of which Is to hold and
wear down the enemy as much as pos
sible.
While the Austrians have made ad-
vances. they have sustained very
serious losses. especially in the Arsa
valley, near Pozzacchio fort in the Su-
CANA valley ana nOrGn Oh Che nlRn pa
teau of Asiago.
Retire Beyond Frontier.
In the Terragnolo valley. as we'll as
on the high plateau of Folgaria, the
Italians have abandoned villages in
Austrian territory which they had oc-
cupied, retiring beyond the former
frontier, as these villages were merely
advance posts held Professionally and
recognized as likely to be untenable in
case of an attack by the Austrians in
force. AS precautionary measures. the
Italian military authorities ordered the
civilian population to vacate the viii
lagos along the frontier near Asiago.
South of Zegnatorta the Austrians made
an effort to occupy the village of
Mario which the Italians took on No
vember II. and south of Monte Maggie
they attacked Monte Coston, which
dominates Bercola pass. leading to Ar
siero and Vicenza, but were repulsed
with heavy losses.
Lieut.. Morrone. son of Cen Paolo
Morrone. Italian minister Of war, has
been wounded dangerously in the head
and leg during the Austrian offensive.
