Washington. May 1s.-To accommo-
date Americans unable 10 fully transact
business which calls them abroad
within the six months for which pass
port now runs, and who wish to remain
abroad the State Department has
amended the passport regulations to
permit renewal Of a passport which

Notice is given that even after pass

Department they must be submitted

Belgium from Holland is understood to

from England.
To relieve the distress OF American
citizens in Austria AID Germany, who
were suddenly required by the local
authorities TO produce birth certificates,
the department has induced some OF
these German and Austrian local Off

Venice BOmbarded
by Austrian AerOS

London, May 18.-Italian headquar-
ters at Udne reports that Austrian
aeroplanes are displaying great activ-
ity and have made several attacks on
towns in the vicinity of Venice. 1t IS
stated that these attacks have caused
insignificant material damage, that no
lives have been lost and no military
results accomplished.
Austrian headquarters reports these
activities as follows:
Strong squadrons of military and
naval acroplanes yesterday and the
night before dropped many bombs on
railroad stations and other establish
ments OF Venice, Mestre, Commons,
Cividale, Udine, Perlacardin and Err
wiso. Good effects were observed at all
these places, particularly at Udine,
where about thirty anti-aircIHft cannon
maintained p useless fire"
Austrian naval headquarters reports
that an Austrian naval aeroplane
squadron successfully bombarded mill
tary establishments at Avlona (Al-
bania) and Satino during the afternoon
of May 10. The aeroplanes, il is added,
returned unchanged. in spite of being
heavily shelled

Extend Their Line to the
Source of Saroa River,
i'm AdamellO Zone.
AUSTRIANS WIN
ON DOBERDO PLATEAU
Vicenza Plain Believed To Be
Real Objective of Austro-
Hungarian Offensive.

London, May 1S-The Austrian Of
fensive on The Italian front which be-
gan early this week has taken further
extension, according to to-dsy's official
reports from Vienna and Rome, and
though neither side comedies loss OF
territory 1t seems clear that gains on
some sectors have in each case been
counterbalanced by losses on others.
ION the Doberdo Plateau" says the
Austrian official. "our new position
was extended by the explosion of mines.
The enemy directed drum fire on the
position and then attacked. He was
repulsed by Infantry Regiment No. 80
in fight with hand grenades."
During the course of Wednesday"
says the Italian official, "our Alpine
troops in the Adamello zone extended
the conquest 10 the crest north of Far
gorida as far as the Mattarott zone, at
the source Of the Saroa River. We
captured rich booty in arms. munitions
and, material, which was abandoned by
the enemy in the Topete and Far
gorida passes"
in the Ledro Valley" continues the
Italian statement, "after intense artil-
lery preparations throughout the night
of the 10th, the enemy at dawn at
tackled our positions on the slopes Of
Monte Fari, but was repulsed with
serious losses.
an the Lagarina Valley yesterday
the enemy renewed by means Of nu-
merous powerful batteries his bonn
bardment of our positions on Zegna-
toTta, after which he launched five vio-
lent attacks, each time being repulsed
with sanguinary losses.
an the zone between the Terragnolo
Valley and the upper Astico the enemy
has continued an uninterrupted artil-
lery fire against the positions Of our
main line of defence We repulsed the
customary feint attacks in the San
Pelegrino Valley, in the Marmolado
zone, on the Fedaia Pass. on the upper
Astico. and on upper Cordevole.
"On the Isonzo front there has been
moderate artillery activity. In the
Monfalcone sector by a brilliant coun-
ter attack our troops recaptured part
Of the trenches which remained in the
enemy's hands after the action Of the
18th"
No Importance is attached by mill
tary experts TO the falling back of the
Italian advance lines, as they were not
sufficiently strong TO resist an attack
on a large scale. Although the Italian
central position on the Lavarone Pla-
teau is not yet involved, it is thought
probable that the principal effort Of
the Austrans will be made in that
direction.
1t seems evident that the Austrian
generals intend to try to carry out
their former plan Of smashing a way

that Vicenza is the real objective of the
offensive.

Washington, May 1S.-American pur-

Goods are permitted to come only

about 100000 worth of imports came
through monthly.
Figures covering the last ST. months
of 1915 show that toys valued at slight

FRENCH RETAKE
FORT FROM FOE
Belgians Repulse Advance on
User Bank-British Lose
Mine Crater.

London. May 1s-After a week OF
simless fighting, the German assault
81 Vcrdun was resumed to-day with
fresh vigor. A new attempt was made
20 wrest the crest Of Hill 3O4 from the
French and an assault launched in the
Avocourt Wood. Paris declares that
both attacks failed with appalling
losses. Il also claims the capture Of
an enemy fort on the slope Of Hill 304.
Many weeks have passed since the
Crown Prince made the first attempt
20 advance from Avocourt toward
Esnes, and so TO the Charny ridge
itself, the first line of permanent
French Notifications west of the
Meuse. The Germans succeeded in
capturing the Ayocourt redoubt. but
lost it again in the fierce counter at
tacks.
Should the Germans succeed in push
ing their line ahead in this sector the
uoose would be drawn considerably
tighter around Verdun. The Germans
would menace the one railway which
still serves the fortress and now lies
scarcely out OF range Of their guns.
Installed At Avocourt and Esnes. the
assault could then be directed toward
Fort Bourrus on the plateau above.
The persistence Of the German at
tack on VerduE, despite the tremendous
losses and the comparatively small
gains. to observers here is one Of the
greatest mysteries Of the war Many
parallel 10 with the situation at War

mans had partial grip on the city be-
fore they were able TO invest IT..
The position of the Russian defenders,
however, as compared with the French
at Verdun, is utterly different as the
results are expected 20 be.
"On the left bank of the Meuse,'
saws the French official statement, "the
enemy. after a violent bombardment,
launched about 8 o'clock a strong at
tack on our positions in the Avocourt
Wood and on Hill 304. Our curtain OF
fire and the fire of our machine guns

have suffered serious losses.
"The artillery action continued very
violently on the whole Of the sector.
