plenty of cannon-but not enough
shells. The transfer of British and
French batteries to the italian front
which has been going on for some
time, is due to the lack not of ltal-
ian cannon or artillerymen, but of
shells.
Britain and France have consid-
cradle reserve stocks of shells and
their supply is Icing kept up, but
their shells will not fit the Italian
cannon. To use the allied shells on
the Italian front requires allies can
not fire them and allied artillery
men to handle the guns.
The Italian shell shortage made
itself felt along before the end OF
the lower Isonzo at that time, with
a large number of French batteries
above Gorizza, was due solely to the
necessity of using allied ammuni-
ton.
That Italy will stop the German
drive, Just as she stopped the Ger
man ''strafe expedition" from the
Trentino early last year, is Count
Lucerna's confident prediction. He
saws that the German accounts of
prisoners taken are altogether un-
reliable.

On the Italian front the Italian
line in the north has stiffened under
the reinforcements it has received
from the British and French. Even
the German official communication
does not mention any further re-
tiremen' ~ Italians, but on the con-
trary, admits the east of Asiago,
where the Austro- Germans made
gains last week, the Italians in
strong force attacked the invaders
and recaptured lost positions. The
Italians took about 100 prisoners.
Along the middle and southern
reaches of the Plave and Italians

British Unmolested.
The Germans Sunday made no at
tempts to recapture the ground ia
ken from them by the British in the
region of Passchendaele, contenting
themselves merely with the bonn
bardment of the newly won line. A
heavy rainfall prevented the British
from extending their gain. Bom-
bardments and minor attacks have
predominated on the remainder of
the western front, except near
Hartmanns-We Weilerkopf in the Vos-
ges mountains, where in a violent
battle the French completely re-
pulsed the Germans.
Turks Lose in Palestine.
In Palestine the British forces
under Gen. Allenby continue to
make progress against the Turks,
who are being aided by German and
Austrian gunners. During the lat
ter part of last week, several more
towns and villages were captured on
the 600-square mile battlefield in
addition to numerous guns and
many prisoners. East of GAIA a
large enemy force was defeated af-
ter violent fight and twelve guns,
three machine guns and a hundred
prisoners were captured.

Apparently the Bolsheviki upris-

NEW RULE MAY
KILL MILITIA
Arizona Adjutant General
Says Federal Oath Re
ouirement Impossible.

Phoenix Ariz-. March 5--AdJt- Gen
&. W. Harris believes that the regula-
tons now being enforced by the war
department are designed to make i'm
possible the further continuance Of the
national guard. His latest evidence is
from a letter Of the militia bureau in
which requirement is stated that the
new federal oath be taken by 50 per-
cent Of an organizations required
minimum enlisted strength"
It happens that only one company
OF the Arizona guard now has The re
quired minimum strength. The regiment
itself. through failure of recruiting and
the many discharges by favor. through
expiration OF term Of enlistment ana
other causes. now is down to about $40
men. in u companies. But this condi-
tion. according 70 Harris. is not the
fault of the state or Of the organlza-
ton. since the regiment and its COM
panies Tor months past have been under
federal control which included also the
recruiting.
In his answer. the adjutant general
shows these circumstances and makes
special reference to the fact that COM
pany 1 OF Flagstaff. signed the new
oath. 100 percent strong though de-
ficient in gross enrolment.
