capped the bullets of the Italian, Gra-
no. the murderer of Mr.. and Mrs.:

by lightning and bolt passed
through the umbrella carried by Jen-

senpers on the Pocomoke-Snow Hill
bus. which was passing the Jenkira
farm, saw the descending bolt, which
they described as wonderful eiec|
trical discharge which seemed to ena
vclope the farmhouse and shade
trees. The force of the explosion was
so great as to jar the passing ve-
hicle, frightring the passengers. The
storm was most severe in the SOUTH
ern part of the county and has done
considerable damage to the hay crop.

ITALIANS RESIST
AUSTRIAN ATTACK
Troops Of Francis Joseph
Unable to Dislodge De-
tenders
FIERCE CANNON DUEL
Teuton Successes in Italy in Few
Days More Significant Than Years
Gains of Italy

Rome, May 31-The Austrians have
resumed the offensive in the Poslna
zone and along the Upper Astico: III
me southern Tyrol. They attacked
the Italian positions south Of the
Pos.na after violent artillery prcpa-
ration, but, according to last nights :
official statement from the War Of
flee were unable to dislodge the de-
tenders.
Berlin, May 31-"The fighting in
the Southern Tyrol," says a CORES
rondent at the front with the Anstro-
Hungarian forces. ''has deve!1ne m
tc q mobile campaign. The succ .sses
wen during the first few days OF the
Austro-Hungarian offensive are Of IL.
co'nparably more significance than
all those obtained by the italians
during the entire previous year. The
italians at no time succeeded in urn
ing The warfare to another foinl than
f:ortal attacks in which successes
are without effect upon nei Ghborin"
SECTORS. The Austro- Hungari2'l at
tack, however, resulted in the forlna-
ton of a curving front, an advance
along which provided an increasing
number of sectors which could be
menaced by outhanking movements
and taken under crossfre. For this
reason the Austrians were enabled to
make the relatively large gains they
have scared.
SIN the course of few days the
Austro- Hungarians regained a large
part Of the terrain which they had
given up voluntarily at the begin
ming Of the war and in addition eros
sad the enemy's frontier at several
points. The success was especially
notable in the Folgaria plateau. which
had been pivot in the defensive
system about Trent but now has be-
como base for attack. From the
Folgaria plateau the Crown Princes
troops negan an irresistible advance
toward the south after the left wing
in the Sugana valley had insured its
Safe !'v the storming Of Armenta1a
ridge and after the right wing had
likewise secured itself in the Adge
valley ny the storming of Lugna

REBUKE TO sPEEplNG TOMS
Philadelphia Magistrate Sends Ot.
tenders to Jail for Thirty Days.

Philadelphia, May 81. = Three
voung men accused of "pecping" at
"spooning" couples in Fairmont Park
were today advised by Magistrate
Stevenson to make an effort to cure
themselves of the "Peeping" habit
by getting girls of their own. The
magistrate offered this advice to the
prisoners, after he had senterced
them to thirty days each in the
county prison.
"The meanest man in this world
said the magistrate, "is the man who
sneaks up in the dark and spies up
on a loving couple. What is it to you
if they're holding hands? Suppos-
ing the young man does steal kiss
and say things that sound silly to
you. 1t is none of your business. You
have no right to be shopping around
like NANCY jackal, when the young
lover slips his arm around his sweet
hearts waist and gazes lovingly into
her eyes. It is likely that this young
couple are passing through the most
idealistic moment of their lives, anc
it is outrageous that prying, sneaiy
eyes should. profane that moment"

of the worlds greatest battle, at

lines. all French military critics
agreed today. The battle continued
throughout last night, and still was
raging early today.
The volume and violence of the
artillery fire, together with the ire
ouency and intensity of the infantry
attacks. eclipses anything seen on
any battlefield in the worlds history.
The Germans are hurrying into
action against Verdun every man the
Kaiser can spare A million men Will
be hammering against the frencn
lines before the week is over. The
Kaiser himself is reported to he re-
turning to the Verdun front to wit
ness the final assault.
Faced with these reports, tne French
public remained utterly calm today.
The official COMMUNICATES arc beng
scanned with an interest unequalett-
since the Germans struck the first
blow against the fortress.
But there is not the slightest doubt
that General Nivelle if forced to re-
tire upon the northwestern forts OF
Vcrdun, will maintain his positions
there with the same tenacity that
brought the Germans to halt on
the northern and northeastern sectors
Of Verdun.
