AUSTRO-GERMANS
RESUME OFFENSIVE
Hoetzendorf Trying to Force
Way Down Astico

lBy Associated PreSS)
ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN NORTH ITALY, Tuesday, Dec. A.
Great forces Of men and guns have
been massed By, the Austrians and Ger
mans in the Asiago section accord.
ing to reports reaching here tonight and
resumption of the offensive is expect
ed.
The reports indicate that the enemy
IS employing ten divisions Of troops.
An exceptionally heavy artillery bonn
bardment from enemy positions around
Asiago last night and through the early
hours today appeared to foreshadow
the long expected resumption of the
teavy enemy offensive from the north.
The cannonade was of extreme VIC.
lence, the enemy using heavy as we'll
as middle calibre guns.
The first violent eruption began
early last night. There was lull to-
ward midnight and then it was resum-
ed with added intensity at 3 this morn.
Zig till nine o'clock.
Heavy shells were rained on the
whole range Of Italian positions and
we're concentrated practically on the
locations supposed to shield the Ital-
ian batteries. The violence of aftil.
lery action let little doubt that it was
c prelude to infantry advances in
force whereby Field Marshal Conrad
vo1 Hoetzendorf who is directing the
austrian forces in this sector, hopes
tc realize his project of pressing down
the Astico valley leading to Vicenza
and the open plains.
The latest reports shows the intense
bcmbardment continues.

young man that II he ,assed successful

and so Mr. Passmore wired as follows:

FAITH IN PRAYER

BY wisdom. James means pract-

figure. 1t is uncomfortable to be
short in ones account at the bank,
and one cannot always borrow from
bank. But no one, however great
his deficiency in the matter of wis
dom, need hesitate to ask of God for
all that he needs. This does not mean
that God will help us all. dazed as
we are in the tangled maze of life's
perplexities, to adjust ourselves to
that which cannot be changed, and
even to find good in what seems i'll.
And God bestows this wisdom with
a glad hand. He demands however,
that the suppliant shall ask in faith.
This is elemental and reasonable.
Confidence in Gods power and will
ingness to help us is thus laid down
