noticeable feature was the unusually
large attendance of the business men

advances Miss Markham, the hos.
tesss young daughter, very obligingly
entertained the company with some
lively music. The evening passed off
very pleasantly with tho usual amuse-
ments of gatherings of this kind, where
every one goes to "see and be seen,"
until the retreshment hour, twelve
o'clock, after which the guests began
to disperse, casting lingering looks
behind at hastily improvised qua
drille by a tireless few. If things go
on in this way much longer. we shall

ITALIANS ATTACK ON
 THE TRENTlNO FRONT
They Capture Positions in the SuganO Valley-British Make Additional Advance South of MeSSineS.

Rome, June II, via London.-The Italians have resumed the offensive. Today's official statement says they have captured Monte Ortigara, east of Gina Undice, and have carried An gello Pass.
 The Italians have turned from the lsonzo front, where they made im- portant gains toward Trieste in open- ing their offensive to the Trentino front for the drive just begun. The positions captured are in the Sugana Valley region, southeast of the city of Trent, one of the great Italian ob- jectives in the war.
 It was over this ground that the Austrians in May of last year made their most powerful attack of the war against the Italians. After initial successes they were halted in their advance toward the Venetian plains and driven back. Since that time there have been frequent engagements in this sector, although no operations have been undertaken on the scale in- dicated by the Italian government an- nouncement.
