TRIESTE ATTACK

and Guns
BATTLE LINE TAKES
IN ABOUT 40 MILES
German Sources Announce That Bat
tie Was the Most Desperate That Has
Ever Been Fought on the Italian
Front

Ever Been Fought on the italian
Front
LONDON, August 2l-Piloted by 20S
airplanes, which not only furnished the
eyes for the army but actively aided in
the advance the Italians have opened a
new and important attack which is. be-
lieved to be the beginning of real drive
for Trieste. The fighting follows the line
of the Isonzo river, and because of the
winding course of the battle line takes in
about 10 miles, extending from Tolmino
south to the Adriatic Sea
The Italian infantry working in masses
under cover of bombardment that had
lasted for "a hours, began its advance
Yesterday North of Anhovo, which is
| little less than eight miles to the north
of Goritz, the Italians overcame the re-
sistance of the enemy in series of bril-
liant attacks and threw pontoons over the
1sonzo river Then under artillery protcc
tion the infantry crossed to the eastern
bank of the river.
The first lines of the Austrians were
DESTROYED, 800 men and 100 officers being
captured Many large guns, with a great
number of machine guns, were taken
| The losses OF the Austrians in both men
and material have been great, and there
is no indication that the onward sweep
of the Italians has stopped Official re
ports from both sides say the infantry
contest is still in progress.
From German sources the battle is char
acterizcd as the most desperate that ha,
ever been fought on the Italian front
Both the Auetrians and the Germans, say
the reports that are coming in through
, Copenhagen, regard the attack as rea
effort TO break through to Trieste.
Guns in colossal numbers say Berlin
adviccs. have been brought to bear by TIL
Italians In advance of the bombardmcn
that preceded the infantry attack Italian
+ aviators dropped notices over the Aus
trian trenches that the big guns wer
about to begin firing.

Entertaining Tramps.

An Allentown, Pa, farmer
makes a practice of giving tramps
lodging in his barn, He has en-
tertained 595 wayfarers SO far
this year. He provides a fire.
place out under the trees, where
in summer they, cook meals, and
he often lends them flour, salt,
pepper, and other necessaries.
This gentlemen, Henry Heft by
name is surely double starred
in the hoboes' Baedeker.
Mr. Heft is not the only one.
The majority of people feed
tramps from a sense of fear or
from dislike to seem stingy.
There are others that really like
sitting down with a good fat
tramp and seeing him surround
his handout. 1t gives them a
chance to ask questions about
life, and they enjoy delivering
virtuous lectures on the evil of
vagrant ways. Wandering Will
les listen to much admonition
provided the ham sandwich is
properly seasoned.
Whether tramps are best re-
claimed by moral lectures or by
setting the dog on them is a fair
question for debate. Their mar
ration sounds pitiful. The dog
method at least makes tramp
life less alluring. If consistent
ly followed it would lead some of
them to adopt occupations less
open to public censure.
The W0odplle IS the nnal and
most conclusive test. A tramp
who will take hold and saw and
split half a cord of wood has
something in him yet. The
housewife might we'll listen to
hiss story and offer him advice.
But the majority offered this
distressing alternative find the
saw and axe in deplorable con-
dition and the weather condi-
tons unfavorable. They should
be permitted to move on dinner
less. The sooner tramp fare be-
comes precarious, the more at
tractive settled occupations will
become.

Deep Rooted Crops

Little attention Is gwen to the
subject of the subsoil IN both pop
ular instr uction and in bulletin
literature for the farmer. There
Is little information aaoat as to
how 1t may influence a crop for
good or i'll and 1t practically never
occurs to the farmer how hat
which Is beyond the reach of
the pillow may be mellowed and
how a crop may be benefited by
doing 30. Yet there Is most prac-
tical and we'll attested expert
ence on this very subject, If one
only reflects on this experience,
beyond the result OF the immedi.
ate crop with which 1t has been
made.
Alfalfa Is known to thrive best
with plentiful Inning, and beside
great productivity it's other ad-
vantage Is Its ability to with
stand drought 1t is the nature
of alfalfa to push down its roots
with great vlgor far into the sub.
soil If this is mellow enough to
allow 1t. This enables 1t to get
at the ground water, which is
always available, even IN the dry.
est season, for plants that can
r each it.
1t Is the distinct function of
lime that it mellows and crumbs
earth and it is characteristic OF
it's action that.lt constantly works
downward. Mellowing the sub
soil IN It's downward progress,
makes for the life of alfalfa,
whose roots must push into it
1t offers less obstruction to the
rise of ground water. Crops
whose roots never or scarcely
reace the subsoil still push their
roots deeper due to the improv-
ed rise of ground water through
it when Is is well mellowed by
occasional heavy winter llmlns.

out due consideration, and with
out knowledge of the practibility
of this proposition, and without
the advice of a competent con-
sulting electrical engineer, it
should be the duty of every men,
Der of council as well as every
voter to defeat the proposed in
crease of Indebtedness and the
ratification of this contract.
Meantime council should i'm
mediately take steps to secure
the advice of a competent con-
sulting electrical engineer to
pass upon the practicability of an
electric light plant owned and
controlled by the Borough, CIV
ing plans and specifications, the
approximate cost, and the re-
ceipts necessary to pay for cost
of operation, maintenance, and
sufficient surplus to pay the in
terest and debt within a given
period.
This Information coming from
a disinterested engineer having
nothing to unload on any one
could be relied upon more than
any information in the hands of
council at the present time.
Council can then make a con-
tract with any reliable concern
specifying an adequate equip
