Good naval PLAN
Administration Leaders Confident That
Congress Will Provide Salts
factory Program.

Washington, May 19-Administra-
ton officials were confident today that
congress would provide satisfactory
naval building program despite the
fact that the house naval committee in
It's agreement yesterday abandoned the
hVe-year program as recommended by
president Wilson and Secretary Dan
lels. Officials were particularly disap-
pointed at the action of the committee
IN providing for all battle cruisers and
they believe that some dreadnoughts
are necessary.
1t was generally understood today
that congress would be pressed for a
program that would include at least
two dreadnOughts, together with four
battle cruisers.
Formal announcement by Majority
Leader kitchin that he would not op-
pose the program as provided for in
the naval appropriation bill completed
by the committee yesterday is Consid-
cred significant, in view of the fact
that he has been opposed to the ad-
mlnlstration's preparedness measures
MI. kltchin declared that the bill was
satisfactory to him and that he might
max speech in favor Of it.
1t was regarded as likely today that
the bill would be taken up for consid-
Grafton in the house next week al
though some of the leaders do not look
for a vote on the measure prior to the
national conventions.

THE WAR TODAY

Although the Austrian offensive
on the Italian front is meeting
with sitter resistance. ground is
still being wrested from General
Cad0rna's forces which, accord
ing to unofficial reports have at
points been pushed back as much
as five miles.
The main line of attack is in
the southern TyroI, where the re-
cent near approach of the Ital-
ians TO R0veretO had threatened
that place, a key position in the
defense of Trent. The latest re-
port from Vienna shows cOntin-
ued progress for the Austrians in
the valleys southeast of ROveretO,
their forces crossing the frontier
by capturing the Maggie ridge and
working into Italian territory as
far as COstabella, which was cap
tured.
Counter attacks by the Italians
have not resulted in any territory
being won back from the Aus.
trians according to the Vienna war
Office, which also claims the cap
ture of more than 500 additional
prisoners together with IS can
non and machine guns. The Aus
trian losses are declared to have
been small.
There has been notable fighting
on the Yerdun front where the
Germans have thrown fresh troops
into the conflict. Two new d.
visions attacked the French lines
west OF the Meuse between the
AyOcOurt wood and Hill 3Oi and
succeeded in obtaining a footing in
a small post near Hill 2S7. east of
the wood. Elsewhere according to
the afternoon Paris bulletin, the
attacks were repulsed. as was a
German attack on the fort on the
northeast slope of Hill 304 which
the French took the previous day.
The fighting along the Italian
Austr0 front continues on a big
scale but Rome official reports
say the Austrians have been stop
ped from further inrOads on Italian
positions in the Tyrol region. At
lacks by the Austrians southwest
of Trent and in the region of leg
natorta have been repulsed with
heavy losses, according to official
italian reports. The Italians also
say they have recaptured a num-
Der of positions taken from them
early in the week in the vicinity
of Triest.
Three German ships have been
sunk in the Baltic by submarines
of the entente allies.

Republicans Take Notice

The Democratic nominees, from state
senator to coroner, are again attempt
ing to put over their "non- partisan"
stunt. Apparently not one of them
wants it to be known that be was nom-
mated as Democrat by the Demo-
Gratis. They we're all candidates as
Democrats for the nomination. Now
at election time they want you to for
get that fact and vote for them as
mon partisans. Our laws provide
that any citizen may run as an Inde.
pendent, by presenting his petition
properly sigued to election authorities.
Anyone ashamed of his party affilia-
tions may get before the people in that
way. Before you vote for a Democrat
as a non-partsan, he should convince
you that he is better qualified for the
office than his Republican opponent.
