LnlI IS But Prelude OF a Mighty
Battle Within Very Short
Time.
MANY RAIDS Being MADE


Washington, June 1.-THE Austrian
counter offensive on the Italian front
has broken Gown completely, accord
ing to official adyices received here
today from a member of the Italian
cabinet.
The positions at Faite and Jamiano,
captured by the Italians in their Of
fensiye, have been successfully held
against the extremely heavy counter
attacks of the Austrians, the dis
patches report
The Austrian counter offensive on
the Carso has been broken the dis
patch reads.
The furious attacks against our
defenses at Fate and Jamiano have
been repulsed with heavy losses and
the advance of the enemy was
stopped at the banks of the Timavo
river
The wiping out OF the German sa-
lient at Messines appears. in the light
of later developments, to be merely
the prelude to a projected battle of
a far mightier description after
German reaction o. a surprisingly
feeble character. The British have
resumed trench raids over d front
reaching from north of Ypres to as
far south as Epehy. distance Of
about 20 miles as the crow flies, but
far mere than that along the tortuous
Windings OF the battle front
The official announcements OF raids
north of Ypres is of especial interest
in view Of the recent frequently re-
ported heavy artillery fire on the Bel
gian front. Some weeks ago the Ger
mans made a voluntary retirement
from i'll front of the Belgian lines, a
fact little noted at the time in the
pressure of greater events From
Ypres the allied front curves sharply
TO the sea and an advance here
would threaten the German hold on
their great submarine bases ON the
Belgian coast Ostend and Zeebrugge.
In the meantime, there are indica-
tions that General Sarrall is prepar-
ing to resume the offensive in Mace
donia, the Bulgarian war office re-
porting a great increase in the vio-
lerce of the allied artillery fire on
this front. Considerable fighting has
been going on III Masedonia for a
month or more, but the meagreness
of the official reports and the sur
passing interest of events in France
have combined to obscure the exact
situation.
Another gleam of light has pierced
the dark clouds hanging over Russia.
The Cossacks have again voiced their
determination to support the provis-
ional government and there are indi-
cations that they will receive strong
backing from the peasants This
news comes on the heels of
the publication of President Wilson's
message to Russia, which is hailed by
the British press as not only great
state document, but a powerful rein
forcement to the men who are striv-
ing for law and order in the infant
republic

The Brunswick Marine Construc.
tion corporation is standing pat" on
the original proposition of mine
hours pay for nine hours work" and
from present indications it looks like
the strike at their plant is one of an
indefinite nature, as neither the com
pany or the men seem to be willing
to make concessions.
Manager Skinner got dispatches
from the executive offices of the com
pany, which are in New York, yester-
day, instructing him to stand by his
original proposition of mine hours
pay for nine hours work" and as the
men will not accept this, it looks like
the tieup will be rather long one.
1t is a well known fact that the
Brunswick Marine Construction cor.
poratiOn has no contracts for the de-
livery of ships at any certain date,
and this makes the company master
OF the situation, and it is in position
to hold out for good and all, if need
be- In the meantime, Manager Skin
ner offers all who care to their places
and at the same wages, and the men
who want to work are guaranteed po-
lice protection, not only by the COM
pany, but by the city of Brunswick
which will have a squad of policemen
under Chief Owens at the plant this
morning to see that those who are
willing to work are not interfered
with These officers have instruc-
tions of a military nature, and it is
not thought any violence will be offer
ed, but in the event it is, there will be
trouble of a serious nature

Sunday afternoon proRonaders over
Washington Heights way had some
excitement added to their stroll when
fire broke out in an old frame house
in Brandywine Park near where
Eighteenth street passes under the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
For years and years this old dwell
ing has stood on park land, and many
persons wondered by what strange
sentiment II was retained there.
The dwelling which was unoccu-
pied. was in flames when the fire was
discovered. 1t was a half mile away
from the nearest alarm box, at Eigh'
teenth and Boulevard. Sergeant Davis
OF the motorcycle squad, struck the
alarm from there. and then there
started a steady stream of fire appa-
ratus. automobiles and humanity to
the scene They could do no good,
however. as the building was half
consumed when the firemen arrived
and there was no water nearby.
Finally a line Of hose was laid from
Nineteenth and Franklin streets, but
/ the engines had difficulty in getting
enough water to be Of any benefit and
/ the building was consumed. 10 was
uninsured. ono OF tho largest crowds
/ Wilmington ever has had at a fire
