 There is nothing particularly new or of additional interest about the new well brought in last night, except that 1t more than ever establishes our contentious of the gas productivity of the Aldrich dome. which, in my opinion, will unfold some happy surprises before it's history is fully written. The gas is of g. high quality, containing heating units of about 1000 B. T. us, as compared with about 575 in the average artificial gas.

Tke Italians and the Austro- German armies arc in battle array along the Piave river from the hiiIy region in the north to the .Adriatic sea--the Italians on the western side and the enemy along the eastern bank.
 The sisin army of the Austro-Eun- Esrians md Germans has taken the place of the advanced guard, which has been scattered along the stream for several days, and already through out the entire region the guns of botI, sides arc engaged in duels. Thus far, however, the enemy is using only five inch guns, having been unable as yet to bring his heavier pieces into action. considerable numbers of those fhey were able to bring hack with them during the retreat from the Isonzo frent.
 Tke Italians arc stoutIy holding the lime along the Piave. and also in the region running westward through the hiIiy country from the vicinity of Feltre to inc Sctte comuni. Several attempts made by the enemy to pierce the northern front md encircle the ltalian left wing have failed.
 The Berlin official communication asserts that on the upper Piave 10,- GOO Italians have been cut off and forced to surrender, and also that the Teutopic allies have pressed south- westward from Belluno and now are standing before the town of Feltre, on the west bank of the Pinve. It is con- sidered possible that the enemy may make an attempt to press southward

 The situation in Russia, ns result of the BoIsheviki revolt, is still ob- scure. No direct dispatches have been received from the Russian capital since sunday morning, when ii was reported that there had been consid- erable street fighting in various parts of the city in which the military ca- dets, followers of Premier Ecrensk!. were ,yorsteG by the Boisheviki troops at several points. The fighting was begun by the cadets, owing to re- ports that I<ercnsl<y, with a large body Of men, was close to the capital. The premier and his followers, however, had not put in an appearance up to Sunday night.

We'll No. was started just two weeks ago yesterday, and for the past two or three days the drillers have been watch ing for the strike. Every care was talk en to handle tho gas when tapped to avoid any accidents, and no tine was lost in shutting the fires in the boiler and closing the well in with 8 special gate valve. The gas was struck at ap- proximately the same depth as the orig inal discovery we'll and from all appear ances is of the same high heating quality. TWO WELLS HAVE TOTAL
 FLOW OF MILLION FEET
 With an estimated flow in well No. as large as well No. 1, which measured some 5000oo cubic feet per day, 1t estab- fishes an actual production for the two wells in excess of 100000 cubic feet per day, or two thirds as much gas as is con- sumed daily by Birmingham. This con sumption would no doubt be doubled many times with natural gas, as compared With artificial gas, due to the reduction in the cost and the more general use it would be put to.
 THREE ADDITIONAL WELLS
 WILL BE STARTED AT ONCE
 According to the statement of MT. Owens, three additional wells will be drilled forthwith, which, if as success full as tho first two, will be completed in two or three weeks, giving flow of the five wells of some 2,500,0o0 cubic feet of gas every 24 hours.
 The success of this undertaking of gas development has created not only local, but wide interest all over the country, especially among gas and oil men and manufacturers. Although only two test wells have been drilled, both of them made the big strike and brought in the gas, which record is uncommon in most of the new and untried territories.

LOCAL BOARD INSTRUCTED

The exemption board received instruc- uons today to rearrange the lists of reg istered men according to the new plan announced by the war department sev- eral weeks ago.
 The work on the new revision will be started at once by Chairman T. T. Huey and his assistants. The original regis tration cards will be used in making the rearrangements, since they contain prac- tically all of the data necessary for the new classification, with the exception of notations where mon have been called into service, and whether accepted or rejected. This new classification will place all unmarried men in the first division, then the classes will be ar ranged in the order of the registrants liability for service.
 The registration cards show dependents, occupation and claims for exemption, and on this information tho status of the remaining registrants will be based. Tho work here will require several days, but when completed will greatly lessen the work of the board in hearing claims after calls are made.
