SUMMARY LATE WAR NEWS.
Italians Again on ORensive--Germans
Stfffening Defensive.

New York, May 15.-After being
quiet for months, the Italians have
taken the offensive against the Aus
trians, and Rome reports that consid-
cradle progress is being made. Num-
bers Of Austrians have been captured.
The front in Northern France Is
witnessing an increasingly determin-
ed resistance by the Germans to any
further advances by the British and
French, who In their offensive have
pushed to points OF extreme danger
for the German lines
Evidently with heavy reinforce
ments at their command, the German
armies In both the Arras and the
Aisne fields Of operation are launch
ing heavy assaults at the points es-
pecially menaced. Thus the British
are being attacked around Bullecourt
and the French along the Chemin-
des-Dames plateau.
At both places the German attacks,
as reported to-day In the London and
Paris official statements, were re-
pulsed by the entente forces. Tho
British held their grip on the Hin
denburg line in the Bullecourt re-
gion, the German thrust completely
failing. In Bullecourt itself Gen.
Haig's troops retained their hold on
the village, only some advanced posts
in the northwestern portion being
forced back. 4
The drive at the Chemin- les Danes
positions, where the French are we'll
esta blishcd for a further push toward
the fortress Of Laon, was equally un-
successful, Paris announces. A foot
ing on one advanced trench south
west Of Eli, lin was the only point tho
Germans we're able to gain.
The French armies to-day are un-
der new command. Gen. Petain, who
recently was appointed chief OF staff
OF the ministry Of war, has been ap-
pointed command ar-in-chief OF the
French armies on the French front.
He Is succeeded in his staff post by
Gen. Foch, while Gen. Nivelle, the
former chief commander, is placed in
command Of a group Of the French
| armies.

WALHALLA, SOUTH CAROLINA,
BLEASE AND HIS FOLLOWERS
Hold Convention, Denounce Manning,
Trip to Washington.

Columbia, May 14.-Alleged dis
elimination by Governor Manning
against members Of the so-called "re-
form party" of South Carolina in the
recommendation for officers Of the
States two regiments was made the
basis for much caustic criticism Of
the Chief Executive. the passage Of a
set Of condemnatory resoltuoins and
the appointment of five members to
go to Washington, and lay the griev
ances Of the faction before the Secre-
tary of War. at a meeting Of 500 or
more representatives Of the party
here this afternoon.
The meeting was called by former
Governor Cole l.. Blease. The COM
mittee which will go to Washington
consists of Cole l.. Blease, chairman;
w. A. Stuckey. Lee; r. r. Bucking-
ham, Aiken; Dr.. Olin Sawyer, mayor
of Georgetown, and Jas. p. Carey. Of
Pickens. Under instructions Of the
convention, the committee will tell
the Secretary Of War that its faction
has been grossly neglected in the off,
cering Of regiments and that the Gov
ernor's action in refusing to create a
third regiment for the State is strong
ly resented.
consider the crisis caused by the
| war" incidentally branched into a
discussion Of plans for the campaign
| next summer. Ex-Governor Blease,
in the last Of three speeches, declar-
ed that the winning Of the political
war of 1918 was almost as important
as the defeating of Germany. Menu
bers present were warned by the for
mer Governor not to go to sleep, but
to see that their faction was repre-
sented at meetings next April when
the clubs were organized.
The real kick against Governor
Manning is based on the alleged trip
to Washington, at which the Governor
Is said to have urged the adoption Of
conscription machinery for this State.
which differs from that provided for
other States, the difference being. it
is claimed, that whereas in other
States the board consists Of the She
riff. the clerk Of court and county
physician, in South Carolina the
board members are the Judge Of pro-
| bate, the clerk of court and q chair
man named by the Governor.
The ghost of the past summers
election was disinterred in this con-
vention, which was called to consider
| its part in war, and familiar charges
that the votes OF the people we're
not fairly counted. were freely made.
The convention was particularly bit
ter in it's assertions that Bleaseites
were not permitted TO attend the off,
GERS training camp at Fort Ogle-
thorpe. although it was not demon
strated Just how the finger Of the
Governor was used in this manoeu--
vre. Jas. p. Carey, Jr, Of Pickens,
stated that he had been rejected after
being told by the officer who made
the examination that he was the kind
OF man the government wanted.
John p. Grace, editor of the Char
lesion American, denounced the ac-
ton of Congress in declaring war and
INDUCED in a round of criticism Of
President Wilson for breaking his i'm
piled prediction contract to keen
the country out Of war.
