eastern Italy began their retreat
from the Isonzo.
The eagerly awaited aid for Italy's
hard pressed trops in the Piave line
has reached the battle front in the
form of British batteries, according
to a dispatch from Italian headguar-
tiers. These batteries are expected to
give support in staying the Austro
German advance, which task here
tofore has been borne chiefly by in
fantry sections of the Italian real
guard.
Allies Stffen Italian Defense.
On the Italian front the Italian line
in the north has stiffened under the
reenforcements it has received from
the British and French.
The German official communication
admits that east of Asiago, where the
Austro-G ermans made gains last week
the Italians in strong force attacked
the invaders and recaptured lost posi-
TONS The Italians took about one
hundred prisoners. In the Sugans
valley an enemy advance guard wa:
captured.
Along the middle and southern
reaches of the Piave the Italians are
holding their line tenaciously though
they have been forced to give up th'
Vidor bridgehead, northeast of IRE
viso, after having fought a delaying
battle in which they had time to blow
up the bridge crossing the stream.

War Weddings Decline in Glasgow.

War weddings are on the decline, II
one is to accept the figures regarding
irregular marriages in Glasgow as con-
elusive. In 1915 all records were
broken, the number of couples whose
weddings were legalized by the sheriff
exceeding anything hitherto known.
Last year there was a drop, though
the total for the year was still consid-
cradle, and far in advance of normal
times. The present year shows fur
Their decrease. One day, for instance,
there were 30 civil marriages in the
county buildings, bringing the total
for the year so far to LAO. At the
same date last year the total was
1,760.

BRITISH PREMIER SAYS GER
MANY CAN'T sTARvE ENGLAND.
Enemy Is Barely Holding own-Ship

Grain Than Year Ago.

London, Aug. 1S.-Premier Lloyd
George, speaking in the house of COM
mons on Thursday, said that this time
last year the wheat In this country
amounted to 6,480,0OO quarters and
that now it is 100000 quarters. The
stock of oats and barley, he declared,
also was higher. There had been a
considerable saving in bread consump-
ton, the premier said, and owing to
closer. milling and food economy there
had been an addition to the wheat
stock of 10000 quarters per week. CA
quarter is equivalent to 480 pounds.)
"The government has come to the
conclusion" Lloyd George said, that
with reasonable economy there is no
chance of starving England out.
"The admiralty plans dealing with
submarines have been increasingly sue
ceSsful'
The premier said that in the single
month of April 100000 gross tons of
shipping were lost through German
submarines. In July the tonnage lost
went down to 100000 gross tons. This
month there was a substantial i'm
provement over that of July.
The premier said:
Germany now is hardly able to hold
her own-not even that
With the cooperation of America,
the premier said there would be suffi-
Gent tonnage for all of 1918 and If nee
essary, 1919. Although tonnage had
decreased during the last year, he
added, more goods had been carried
from overseas.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Warning that
conservation of dairy products must be
not only a WEI measure but must be
carried on after the war was given by
the food administration.
1.-THE worlds dairy supplies are de-
creasing rapidly" says the statement
even our own dairy supplies are not
keeping pace with our growth of popu-
lation. Yet today we must ship in
creasing amounts of dairy products
to our allies.
''The people must realize the vital
dependence of the well-being of their
children and thus of the. nation upon
the encouragement and upbuilding Of
the industry. We must save the wastes
in milk and butter If we are to provide
milk supplies at all, especially includ-
ing the children of the crowded dis
tricts of the cities"
