RESUME
ATTACK
Omitted Press Leased wire.)

LONDON, Aug. 81. = Three
great allied drives assailed Teu-
tonic lines on three fronts today.
British and French troops re-
sumed the offensive which they
started last Monday. Italy con-
tlnued her fierce drive uninter-
ruptediy.
In a week the Italians have
taken approximately 80 square
miles of Austrian territory, close
to $4,000 prisoners, vast store
OF guns, munitions and supplies.
and inflicted stupendous casual
ties on the enemy-estimate in
semi-official Rome advices at TO-
900.
The fighting today was on the
comparatively open Bainsizza
plateau. The rugged points of the
mountains having been success
fully passed, Rome looked for even
more rapid progress as the troops
pressed on to Laibach.
Suddenly changing his point of
attack from the left bank to the
right of the Meuse, Gen. Petain
was striking another blow at the
German defenses out of Verdun.
The initial shock carried the
French fighters nearly mile for
ward on two-mile front.
On the British front, Field
Marshal Haig also mixed his
blows. He drove successfully
against German positions north
of st. Quentin in a sector where
there has been little fighting in
two months.
Powerfully fortified German
posts of the "HindGnburg line"
were stormed and taken and the
British front advanced half a mile
over a mile front.

Holland, for instance, without

maintain her present great dairy
herds.
But half her cattle would sup
ply her own necessary dairy pro-
ducts, and could possibly be
maintained without importing
feed.
On this very point, the Dutch
in protesting against the embargo
have threatened to kill great guam
titles of cattle and sch the meat

This government, while unwill-
