along the entire front. where apparent
~ one or the other side is preparing
10 launch an extensive drive. The ac-
tivity OF the Austrians there may indi-
cate a strong offensive by them IN the

Yesterday the Austrians delivered
sharp attacks in the Brestovizza, ASA,
Fella and Lsgarna valleys, every one
Of which was beaten back by the Ital-
ian FIRE or by quick counter thrusts,
according TO Cadorna's official com

the Austrisns likewise took up the
fight, attacking from west Of Flondar

forces were repealed with losses.
On the southern slopes of Monte

turned with prisoners. Air activity
along the front has died down TO 2

her execution took place. Two Sisters
Of Charity and priest accompanied
her.
Mile. Mata Hari, long known IN
Europe as "A woman of great attractive
ness and with romantic history, was
according TO unofficial press dispatches
accused Of conveying TO the Germans
the secret Of the construction OF the
Entente tanks" this resulting in the
enemy rushing work on special gas
TO combat their operations. she was
said 10 have left Paris last spring and
to have spent some time in the Eng
Nsh town where the first tanks were
being made. When she reappesred In
Paris she was arrested.
Her conviction was confirmed by
revision court, and on September -
the Supreme Court confirmed the pre-
vious findings.
Since the war began there have been
numerous cases of the execution OF
women as spies. Among the first
women executed as spies BY France
were Ottile Voss and Marguerite
Schmidt. who we're shot in October,
1915. after being found guilty Of trans

Edith Cavell, en- English nurse, who
was arrested by the Germans in Au
gust. 1915, and executed on October Is
of the same year on a charge OF har-
boring fugitive English prisoners in
Belgium. This, however, was not a
case Of espionage.
Only i'm enc case on record have

penalty. Secretary Lansing, through
Ambassador Gerard appealed TO the
Kaiser for clenency In the case OF
Countess Johanna de Bellevills and
