GERMANS MAKE DESPERATE
EFFORT TO FLANK ITALIANS

have shown themselves in mood of
determined resistance. In the Asiago
area, last Saturday, for instance, two
peaks in the same defensive zone as
Mont Iongara were captured by the
invaders but afterwards were retaken
by the Italians in resolute counter at
tacks.
Between the Cismon and the upper
Pave valleys the Italian line is
Strengthening out to virtually an even
line for the connecting link between
the P1ave and Trentino front. It is
apparently in this process that the
town OF Fenzaso, about five miles west
OF Feitre which was reported Sunday
by the Teutons, and an equal distance
east OF the Sugana, has been given up
to the Austro German advance.

RUSSIAN SITUATION IMPROVES.

News during the past few days re- moves to some degree the fear of tile anti-German world that Russia might prolong the wa rby negotiating sep arate peace, The situation admitted ly is still in an uncertain stage but the outlook has grown less dubious thaA
 :t was ten days ago. There is littIe question where the government lead CTS stand. but the fear has been that they would be unable to control the agitators who, for various reasons, 'r" demanding peace.
 Assurances come from Washington that the federal authorities have been satisfied with the situation in Rus sia. Late this week the foreign min ister of the new government. who is enc of the most powerful of the pro gressive group, asserted positively that the characterization process which has been going on in Russia las tended to strengthen rather than to weaken the determination of the government to fight for a lasting peace against the autocracy of the central powers.
 Perhaps the most reassuring light is shed by the Petrograd press. which we have every reason to believe, still is uncensored. The papers are unan- imous. it appears, in denouncing the semi-otficial peace overtures of th" Teutonic empires as hypocritical and treacherous. in that they are not in tended to strengthen democratic Rus sia, but rather to weaken it. so that their own autocratic aims may be achieved. Ii the press correctly gauges sentiment in the army and among the great masses in Russia not including the noisy group of ex- treme socialists who demand peace the allies need have no fear of Rus ian debacle.
 This Russian situation is of tre- mendous importance because it has much to do with the length of the war. With Russia in and fighting, the war should end within year. accord ing to English predictions, but with Russia out it might be expected to continue for three or four years if no! longer. Little wonder then, that the Allies have been watching the new governments attitude with some anXi- ety. It is one of the most important phases of the war.

"She's inoffenslve, so far as l can

colonel merely stated that the waters

ated.
when will the call go out?"
AS soon as a mobilization schedule
Is prepared by the chief Of staff and

Pearl clapped her hands in approval.
When Bertha joined the party In the
dining room, Brent was forewarned
and met her with dignified composure.
That night at dinner Bertha piled
her feminine arts with such charm and
recherche that he had to pinch him

speaking, In order to make sure that
the engaging lady and the post SER
geant's girl were one and the same.
Man of easy and impressionable SEN

think that he was fool to defy Ber-
tina. 1t would be much less difficult
and certainly more pleasurable to take
the place he knew he filled In her heart
and chance the rest. 1t was the
easiest way with women Of that kind,
anyhow; and Pearl need never know.

with more than usual interest because
Of the personal antagonism existing
between these two men toward whom
he cherished no kindly feelings. Pearl
only partly listened, and the colonel
not at all, until ct the end of the
grilling Brent. for the purpose Of shift
ing the subject for obvious reasons,
turned suddenly to Miss Dare.
"You never explained where you got

ly stated; but he did not explain how

That put Adams straight In the
minds of both the Dares. The confer
ence now adjourned, the colonel tele-
phOned his loss to the war office and
made an appointment to call on the
secretary later In the day.
Someone In the outer room knocked
on the door. Pearl opened 1t slightly
and peered through the crack.

Toxic with gravity, letting the woman
enter.
"This is my fault. not Toko's," Ber-
tina excitedly explained, noticing Colo

for permitting this intrusion. Both
Major Brent and Adams had followed
her into the room.
