The AuStro German army under the

as his chief assistant, Field Marshal
Won Mackensen, are shaking the en-
tire Italian line from the Julian Alps
region to tho Adriatic sea. Pressing
back the Italians on Italian soil, the
combined enemy forces now have
pushed forward on the Italian left
wing and captured Cividale, northeast
of Udine. and are nearing the plains
beyond. The Austrian town of Gori-
zia, a point Of great strategical value
on the Isonzo river, has been retaken
from the Italians.
Italians Show Cowardice.

100000 Italians have been made pris-
oncr and over zoo guns have fallen
into Austro- German hands. The sec
ond and third Italian armies are de-
clared to be IN retreat. Rome admits
the falling back of the second army.
asserting that cowardice, like that
shown by the Russians in Galicia, was
exhibited in the face of the foe, the
Italians surrendering or retreating
without giving battle, permitting the
breaking of the left wing and thereby
offering easy access to the town of
Cividalc. Before falling back the
Italians destroyed all their depots and
stores. Cividale was ON fire when the
Austro Germans entered it.
Possibly the Italians in this region.

treating to prepared positions on the
plains, will turn about and meet the
enemy in open country fighting.
Position Precarious.
II they do, and the enemy is able to
keep up westward the fast pace main
tanned since the operation began, the
greater part of the Italians along the
northeastern line will be threatened
with capture. So grave is the situa'

that he had left the service on &C
count of failing eyesight. Mr.. Big
ham is of the opinion that his neph-
ew has been promoted to the Office
made vacant by Captain Breedlove.
Second Lieutenant Holder C. Bo-
gan of Captain Anderson's company
at Kirbyville Of the national guard,
is a brother of the officer promote3.
The second lieutenant formerly was
a member of Company M.-Beau-
mont (Texas) Enterprise.
Lieutenant Began is the son Of
the late Capt. Dick Began and was
born at Birmingham, in this COUNT
twenty nine years ago. While a
mere boy he moved with his mother
to Texas where he grew to manhood.

be pleased to know of his promotion
and predict for him continued sue
cess as one of Uncle Sans soldiers.
