Along the Aisno thirty-fvs new

the improved mechanical means
Of tho Allies and the perfection
OF their methods of combat. that
the Germans are obliged TO

least forty divisions. The wsst-
ern front thus remains the prin.

10 still strongly held by the
enemy, and his defensive strength,
while shaken. remains powerful"
The situation on tho other fronts Is
dismissed with brief review of re-
cent official dispatches. Tho only
mention OF American forces, is as
follows:
Tho mobilization Of the National
Guard In their camps Is proceeding
rapidly and tho formation OF rsor-
Ranizcd divisions is taking place. This
reorganization is ncccssitated by tho
conditions OF tho present war and
requires larger regiments and cer-
tain machine guns and other units
not typical heretofore. Some misun-
Outstanding OF the reorganization has
arisen. but it's purpose and military
necessity are being explained ard
the division commanders are doing
their utmost to preserve the local as
sociations and historic memories OF
these state forces.
"The assembling OF the national
army ln the cantonments has gone on
with smoothness and success. Equip
ment difficulties are not serious and
are being rapidly overcome. The most
obvious shortage Ia In rifles, but an
adequate supply for all purposes will
soon bo at hand and not delay In

Fail To Regain State-

by British
Austrian Attempts Fooled By
British and Italian Guns

Against the combined British and
Italian artillery fire, the Aust IN
nave failed in attempts to recap+ure
lost grounds between G0rizia ani
Tolmino. At four points along the
line the Austrians have made re-.
pested attacks but all efforts were
checked by artillery fire and infaL.
try counter-attacks. Meanwhile, ua
der the cover of the artillery, tire
Ita ians are busily fortifying cap.
tu-ed positions and preparing for
an ,ther forward movement. In al.
dit.on to the taking Of much VIZ:
material, Rome reports the capture
Of nearly $500 prisoners.
hrtillery actions only are repoe..
ed from the British front arou:d
Arras. The Germans apparently
have given up hope Of re-
tai ing Bullecourt and other strate-
gic positions now in British hants
and admit the evacuation Of Bui'c.
corrt. Crown Prince Rupprecht has
made no new counter attacks.
Along the Aisne and in the Cham.
pagne the German crown prince alss
has given up his fruitless counter
attacks, but continue to exchange
violent artillery firing with tils
French heavy guns.
Dense German formations, Petro-
grad says, have attempted an attack
against Russian positions nea-
Shelvov, in the region of Vladimil
volynsky, volynia. The Russian 50.
diers met the attempt with artillery.
rifles. and machine gun fire ani
drove the Germans back. There hav.
been no reports Of strong Germaa
attscks along the line from Riga to
the Rumanian-B Bokowina border
since q few days after the fall of the
Romanoff dynasty.
