Take Austrians by Surprise in
Drive on TrieSt.
Suddenly Switch Offensive
From North to East.
1870 AIRPLANES AID ARMY
Drop Ten Tons of Bombs on
Stampeded Enemy.
French Capture 5000 Germans
Since May 1.

Rome, May 24.-Striking down the
coast toward Triest. the Italians open
ed the second phase of their offensive
with sweeping victory. They broke
thru the entire Austrian line from
Castagnavizza to the Ad1iatic, a front
of about five miles. and took more
than 5000 prisoners. The new drive
is a direct menace to Triest from
which General Cadornas troops are
now less than ten miles distant. The
route lies along the Carso plateau, and
the advance of the Italians over this
difficult ground was surprising in its
rapidity.
The present offensive was opened by
attacks mostly to the north and east
of Gorilla. The sudden switching of
the drive this week to the southeast
of that town took the Austrians by
surprise. This condition was utilized
to its full advantage by General Co
dorna in pushing his troops ahead
They were well placed by night time,
when the Austrians rallied and
launched counter attacks for these
were ineffective in shaking the italian
hold on the new ground.
The extent of the aerial cooperation
in the attack is indicated by the par
ticipation of $50 alrplanes in dashes
behind the Austrian lines in which ten
tons of bombs were dropped to help
break up the enemy resistance.
The count of prisoners perhaps Is
more impressive than anything else in
emphasizing the Importance of the
Italian victory, a total of nearly TO-
0OC rarely having been taken in one
day in attacks of this character.
The war office statement today an
nouncing the victory stated that fire
from ten British artillery batteries
had aided.
Repulse German Counters.
Paris, May 24.-Eight thousand six
hundred German prisoners have been
taken by French troops since May in

Kidney q Co.
(ET d.. e. y. PERCY

The kidneys and the skin work in har-
nony. They're companions, tho skin
being the second partner. If we are
anxious to keep well and preserve the
vitality of the kidneys and, also, free the
blood from noxious clements, we must
pay special attention to good action Of
the skin and to see that the kidneys are
flushed so as to eliminate the poisons
from the blood. The pores Of the skin
can be eaeily clogged, and frequent baths
with soap and water help to remove the
injurious products that clog the pores.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
akin and kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty Of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anuric, which will help flush the
kidneys and the intestines. You will find
that Anuric is many times more active
than lithia and that it dissolves uric acid
almost as hot water does sugar.
