AUSTRIAN IINFS
s. - - .S.s s.s -1s .-~
Capture Strong Positions of Foe
and Take More Than 5000
Prisoners.
FRENCH cut DOWN GERMANS
Counter-Attacks in Region of Vauclerc
Plateau RepuIsed Wit', Heavy
Losses, Says Official
Statement.

Rome, May 25.-Follohfing ten hours
taoking forces broke Though strongly
organized Austrian lines, extending
from CastagnaviZza to the Adriatic, a
distance of II miles, captured Jamai-
no and took 5000 prisoners. This
gain put General Cadofra's army less
than ten miles from Trieste.
The war office statement on Thurs
day, announcing .the Victory, stated
that 80 airplanes participated in the
fighting, dropping ten ions OF bombs
on the enemy, and that fire from ten
British artillery batteries had aided.
Strong Forts ciptured.
The Italian forces occupied part of
the area south of the. .Castagnavizza-
Boscomalo road, passed Boscomalo
and captured strong forts east Of
Pietrarossa and Bagul as well as ia
mianJ.
The Austro-HungaHans at first
were surprised and nanplused. To
ward evening they latEiched counter
attacks but were repuls l.
Around Gorilla, the statement said,
a strong point on the slopes of San
Marco had been captured and prog
reSs made around Monte Santo.
Germans Suffer Heavy Losses.
Paris, May 25.-GermsIl counter%lt-
tacks in the region OF the Vauclerc
plateau were repulsed with heavy
losses, according to an official state
ment issued by the war office. Since
May 1 the French have taken 5000
prisoners in this district.
Russ Eager to Fight.
Sebastopol, Russia, May 25.-The Of
ficers and men of the tcal garrison
have unanimously requested that they
be sent to the Riga front to fight the
Germans. Their action Is in response
to the speech of M. KeFensky, minis
ter of war, and the appea Of the coun-
Gil of soldiers and wor4iagmen's dele
gates.

PIcKETS ON GUARD IN NILDS
Dirds and Animals, Like Soldiers, Pss<
Sentries, and Many Are Killed
"DoInQ Their Dit"

Man is not alone In placing sentries
on guard in time OF war. Birds and
animals have been doing this for
countless ages. Every gunner who
knows anything about hunting geese Is
familiar with the fact that If he Is to
be successful he must always evade
the wild goose picket.
Most birds that cOngregate in dOcks,
particularly In winter, always put 4
picket on guard. The golden pl0ver is
an example OF this. The British star
ling conduct their movements on mill
tary lines.
The beaver always posts 4 picket on
guard and that probably accounts for
the reason that SO few are ever seen,
although their work is much In evi-
dence. Sentries of the wild are often
killed "doing their bit"

QUIET ON WESTERN FRONT
Believed That Won Hindenburp Plans
Another Retreat.

London, May 25.-Following the
course of alternative allied Offensives,
there was comparative lull on the
western front during the day. But 1t
Is worth remembering, as Gen. #. b.
Maurice, director of military opera
tions of the war Office, said, that any
offensive on the part of Italy is made
possible only by the AnglO-French ter
rife battering OF Won Hindenburg's
main force, as well as his strategic re-
serve, which has suffered immeasura-
bly, during the last six weeks.
Hard fighting continues in the Vau-
elerc and California plateaus, but the
French seem well satisfied with the re-
suits.
1t is significant that the Belgians are
announcing officially that the Germans
are driving out the civilian populations
from the LuXemburg district. 1t seems
highly possible that this foreshadows
another German retirement, which this
time may end only at the Meuse.

MOSQUITO a Pe.tIs.Sou. insect.

MOSQUITO PeetHorouS Inooct.
Moral philosophers, of course, mean
Ing those who have more morality than
philosophy, have undertaken to explain
the purposes of mosquitoes, observes
writer in the Providence Journal. On
the suppositious theory that nothing In
nature is without beneficent purpose,
we used to be told learnedly that the
mosquito consumed malaria germs and
other things in the air, and SO proved
himself q kind friend to man. In view
Of the good thus conferred, the incl
dental stinging done by the insect was
to be considered lightly.
People who used to talk this way
have been doing less of it in recent
years, having learned, perhaps, that 1t
was nonsense. 1t has been demon
strated that the mosquitoes favOrite
habit is to load up his system with poi
son of some sort or another and then
seek out some human victim to inocu-
late. From all appearances this is the
only JOY that life affords to mosquito,
and 1t is all that is accomplished by
him during hts brief lifetime, except
to provide an ample number OF de-
scendants to carry on the work.

Dentist Who Killed Wife's Parents
in 100000 Plot Keeps

SAID He had NO MESSAGE
Confessed Poisoner of Michigan
Couple Calm When He Ap-
preached instrument of
Death.

New York, May 25.-Dr Arthur
Warren Waits was elecrocuted last
night. Three shocks were necessary.
Waite spent his last evening almost
alone except for the two hours previ-
Gus TO his execution, when Rev. DR..
n. A. Peterson was with him praying.
He listened to the clergyman uncon-
cernedly.
rs there no one," pleaded the clergy
man, mo one to whom you wish to
send q Word-a letter or line OF
farewell?'
There is nobody, thank you" Waite
replied. And he resumed his terrible
calm-a calm that was not broken by
prayer; that was not moved by the
tears of his brother, Frank that did
not disappear when the ashen-faced
brother told Waite his mother was
dying in her Grand Rapids home.
DR.. Arthur Warren Waite ap-
preached death in the electric chair
here with nerve unshaken and with no
message for the world he was about
to leave behind.
The confessed poisOner of his wife'S
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. John
M. Peck, was the most seif-possesSed
man In the corridor leading to the
execution chamber as the party of Of
hcials gathered for the march to the
chair.
Waite Played 100000 Game.
Doctor Waite, champion tennis play
er, with wealth and influential friends
behind him, played game for ST.

Everyone Elinihle to Draft Until
Rules Are Given.
President Wilson Will Make Announce
ment After Registration S Held
Drawings by Lot.

Washington, May ,25.-The war de-
partment issued notice that no eX-
emptions from war service would be
made at the time of registration. The
exemptions will come ut the time of
the draft, stated by Secretary Baker
TO be about September l. Here is the
statement:
Provost Marshal General E. II.
Crowder finds that many persons CON
iuse registration with draft. Each is
a distinct process. Exemptions will
be granted after draft and not before.
Even conylctS and alien enemies are
obliged to register.
There is little difficulty in answer
.ng the questions which are asked in
regard to registration, for there are
no exceptions to the rule that all male
persons in the United States between
the ages of twenty-one and thirty in
elusive must register, except those al
ready in the military or naval serv-
ice of the United States. 1t is impos-
slble at present, however, to answer
most questions in regard to exemptions,
as the rules for exemptions are only
outlined in the selective draft bill and
must in many cases be drawn by the
president.
From the lists of persons regis
tered names will subsequently be
drawn by lot, by the faireSt system
that can be devised. Persons whose
names are drawn and other persons
interested will be given an opportu-
nifty to present claims for exemption,
exclusion or discharge from the draft
and TO support such claims by evil
dence.
"The determination of whether a
particular claim for exemption, ex-
clusion or discharge shall be granted
will be made by boards to be appoint
ed by the president. These boards
will function under the law and under
regulations prescribed by the presi-
dent.
1.-The only regulations that have as
yet been prescribed are those govern
ing the registration alone The de-
termination of exemptions, exclusions
and discharges is a second step, quite
separate from the registration.
"RegAations governing the deter
mination of exemptions, exclusions
and discharges Will, when promul-
gated, be made available to all CON
cerned at the offices of the local
boards. Until such regulations have
been promulgated further informa-
ton cannot be given. as it might later
prove mislead ding; and even after the
regulations have ben made public
decisions concerning exemptions, e1-
clusions and discharges In individual
cases cannot be made by this office,
since the law provides that all such
cases shall be heard and determined
by the boards to be established for
that purpose"
