The artillery today started firing
at five separate targets located from
the photographs. The aviators took
to the air and the observers watched
the results of the firing which was
at considerable range. The first shell
fell wide of the mark but within four

northern Italian front the enemy has
resumed his efforts to diSlodge the al
lied troops The British repulsed Ger
man efforts near Cambria and east of
Asiago the Italians are engaged in a
furious battle with the Austro-Ger-
mans.
German attacks in the Cambria
area under the leadership of General
Won Der MarwitZ were against the
southern and northern legs of the sa-
lient. After the British had repulsed
minor attacks in the regions of Come
lieu and La Vacquerie, southwest or
Cambria, the Germans hurled strong
forces against La Vacquerie. General
Byng's men checked the Germans in
severe fighting. On the northern end
the attack was against the line be-
! tween Bourbon Wood and MoeuVreS.
This was repulsed by the British ar
tillery. Large forces of reserves hur-
ried to the Cambria area convince the
| British leaders that the enemy has not
| vet given up hope of plotting out the
salient, Notwithstanding the severe
| losses he has sustained in the past
week. The Bourbon wood position,
the dominating one. west of Cambria,
is almost in a pocket and a dispatch

west of the Brenta river, a front OF
about ten miles. The first effort OF
the enemy was from the northwest
between Sizemol and Meletta and this
was broken up in hand to hand fight

heavy casualties and left several hun
dred prisoners in Italian hands

Fire Department Called to HOppin Place,
 POmfret

fire in the large chimney Of the beautiful summer home of Mary F. Hol D n, Pomffet, filled the large house with smoke, last Saturday, and as a precautionary measure a summons was sent to the Putnam fire depart ment.
 Nine strokes assembled the men of Hose Company No. 1, for an out of town fire, and they made quick trip to Pomfret. All of the chemicals on the truck were used in putting out the fire but it was not necessary to turn on water. No damage was done.
 Soon after No. company left fire headquarters No company put in an appearance, Phiias Cloutier driving. This was the first demand on the new piece of fire apparatus. This is to be the practice when No. 1 company leaves the city. The No. , company will immediately proceed to fire head quarters to be in the center if another call should come while. No. is out of town.
