Vienna, via London, May 22.-The
war office communication issued yes
terday says:
THE enemy yesterday continued his
attacks on the Isonzo, his main pres
sure being against our positions be-
tween the Vodice and Salcano. All the
enemy's efforts were fruitless and he
was unable to gain foot of terri
tory.
"In the morning the enemy twice
brought his masses forward TO deliver
attacks against Monte Santo. The
first attack collapsed, before II could
property develop, under our destructive
fire. During the second attack the
enemy troops in the neighborhood Of
Monte Santo convent forced their way
into our trenches which had been
DESTROYED by drum fire. Our troops
drove the enemy back in q counter at
tack with the bayonet.
"In the evening the Italians. refrain
ing from any artillery preparation
advanced to a powerful attack direct
ed against the whole sector near
Vodice and Monte Santo. At Vodice the
storTning columns, suffering heavy
losses. succeeded in mounting the
ridge. The veteran Forty first infan-
trv regiment then flung itself at the
superior enemy and after a bitter
hand to hand fight forced him to fight.
The italian divisions directed against
Monte Santo were driven back by our
artillery IRE.

GERMAN Line
BEING FORCED
SLOWLY BACK
Yields Ground Under Re-
lentless. Pounding by Brit
ish and French
RUSSIAN CRISIS
AGAIN TO FORE
Widespread Indignation is
Aroused in Spain and
Sweden
CBy Associated Press.)

The German armies in France are
slowly giving ground before the re-
hntless pressure exercised by Gen.
erals Haig and Petain. The vital
question is can their morale be main
tanned under the terrific pounding to
which they are subjected day and
night? Apparently the allied COM
manders have abandoned the policy OF
sudden thrusts at chosen points and
are relying on q constant han1inering
over a wide front in the belief that
sooner or later the iron German ring
must either break or crack.
The political situation remains
fraught with many possibilities. The
latest news from Russia indicates that
the crisis In that country continues
acute and the menace that Russia
may either withdraw from the entente
or be plunged into chaos still throws
its shadow over the future. The Rus
sian radicals are apparently as de-
termined as ever to reject the war
program OF England and France. but
they show almost as much reluctance
as Berlin to define their precise aims.
A conference is projected at which
the coalition government will be asked
for a frank statement as to its po-
sition and there are uncomfortable
humors that the Russian radicals in
tend to attempt to force population
OF fkuSSl& LTehLles Will TIC OlhcA
members of the entente.
On the credit side of the account is
the rising tide OF Indignation. against
Germany in Scandinavia and Spain.
The anti-German faction in Sweden
has been powerfully reinforced by the
action of the Germans in sinking three
Swedish grain ships, in violation OF
their own agreement to respect the
safety OF the vessels. Spain is still
awaiting a reply to her protest over
the sinking OF the Spanish steamer
Patricio also destroyed while sailing
under German guarantee of safety and
the trend OF public feeling Is becom-
ing more acutely indignant against
Germany.
What effect the course of events is
having on the German people remains
practically a sealed book. The German
censorship has reached a point Of un-
paralleled efficiency and the little news
that trickles across the frontier or the
empire offers scantinformation. APP
parently the war OF the Pan-Germans
and junkers on chancellor Won Beth
smann- -Hoilweg IS ssing on merruy, but
there is nothing to Indicate what eff

Despite the recent order forbdding
the sale of intnAIcants to soldiers,
there is ample evidence on the streets
of Missoula that men in uniform are

to army officers. 1t is thought by the

by fine of $1,000 and Imprisonment.

asserted by this periodical that OF the
100000 motor cars OF an kinds IN

only one.half OF the mileage Of the
