italy OPENS TREMENDOUS OFFENSIVE
AGAINST AUSTRIA ON 80 MILE front
BLOW GREATEST YET
STRUCK BY ITALIANS;
FIRST OBJECTS WON

ROME, Aug. 20.-Italy has
|opened a determined offensive
against the Austrians from the
Adriatic to the Alps. The blow
is probably the greatest the
italians have struck. Early re-
ports describe initial successes
of General Cadorna's troors.
The offensive followed a
days artillery preparation and
extensive aerial activity. AS
saults were launched at the
Carso, Isonzo and Julian fronts
simultaneously as one great Of
fensive.
The attack opened on a tre-
mendous scale, the Italian in
fantry leaving the trenches on
a wide front as the artillery
fire lifted. Headquarters re-
ported the attack is expected
to be the most effective the
Italians have yet attempted.
The total length of the battle
lines on the Carso. Isonzo and
Julian fronts is about ninety
miles. Italy's April offensive
centerd along Isonzo where the
drive was made toward the
Austrian seaport of Trieste.
Italian troops penetrated to
within IA miles of Trieste.
The Italians actually pulverized
Austrian defenses in many places along
the line. Front dispatches reported
the enemy was hurrying up reserves
to back the weak spots and flinging
troops into human ramparts against
the advancing Italians. The defenders
are bitterly resisting the Italian ad-
vance.

Young Doctor Elliott, lying prone on
his blanket on the hewn logs Of the
floor OF Conrod's tavern, stirred uneas-
lily In his sleep. Outside. the artillery
OF the last thunderstorm OF the autumn
rumbled and crashed above the steady
rush Of the rain. A hand fell upon the
latch and the door burst open before
the fury OF the wind. Elliott woke 10

was about To rise to close the door
when the whole room was struck out OF
darkness by the dazzling blue OF sheet

as II came and the crash OF thunder
which accompanied II drowned his cry.
In that single moment Of the binding
flash he had seen. outlined against the
shimmering sky, framed in the rec

OF crouchIng Indian, knife In hand.
His limbs froze in horror. The room
was now as black as midnight. but his
eyes ached with the impress Of the
lightning glare and the imsge that had
been struck into them. Still in the
pitch darkness he could see TINT sick

man was beneath, his face hidden by

Bllndly Elliott seized the weapon and
struck with hysterical force.
The man beneath shook of the re-

rose unstcadily 10 his feet Then he
laughed aloud In the darkness.

said. but you've certainly saved me

Elliott made no answer. lie was

and the tavernkeeper came hurriedly

With a bound he reached the bank

up to the top of the bank until he
could lift his head with infinite eau

For an eternity of time he lay, clutch

sound was the Querulous calling of the
little woodpecker, high overhead. He

the face a white mans! David was
about 10 cry out with relief when the
gittering eyes were turned full toward
him, though they failed TO pierce the
sheltering covert, and with a sickening
horror David recognized the face of
Simon Girty, the renegade!
On the instant, David lifted his rifle
and fred full at the crouching figure.
From Girty's lips broke the roar Of
an Infuriatcd animal; he staggered
back with the impact of the shot, but
he did not fall nor yet did he lift his
weapon to his shoulder; and David
saw that his shot had struck only the
lock of Girty's rifle, rendering 1T use
less but leaving the man unharmed.
With below of rage, Girty bounded
toward him, swinging the broken
weapon like club. There was no time
to reload. David leaped TO the top of
the bank and braced himself for the
onset. AS the dubbed rifle Of the out
law rose above his head, David swung
his own upward to meet IL. They
crashed together and splintered with
d shock; and in the same second, fling
ing the broken stock away, the mighty
arms Of Simon Girty flung themselves
around David.
With the strength Of desperation.
David strove to oppose the terrible
sinews. Back and forth over the
frozen grass the two men fought like
beasts, heaving, struggling, stumbling
over roots, locked In an embrace as
deadly as that Of the cougar. But 1t

strength ebbing under the terrific

bluff, and the fight was over. Girty,
falling underneath, had struck his head
upon stone; and his arms relaxed
their hold.
David stood up, painting.
Girty lay very still. But David
knew that he must make sure that the
man was dead before he could be safe
himself. He felt in his girdle for his
