ROME, May 16.-Italy's great Of

front Of from twenty-five to thirty
miles, Italian guns are roaring today
while infantry is steadily advancing.
Several thousand prisonered Aus

The fighting was reported very
heavy on the hills behind Gorilla,
where it appears that the greatest
force of the Italian drive has been
launched. There the Italian heavy

have been inflicted on the enemy by |

and public attention was conferred on
the socialist hint of republic in the
central empires.
| The immediate effect Of the chan
icellor's sharp words, it was expected
| here, was to add strength to the Le-
Ibour-Hasse Enforcement socialist
group and CORRESPONDENCE to de-
crease the influence of the Scheide-
mann pro-peace, procurement So
cialist faction. The Ledebour-Hasse
lgroup is scarcely month old. It was
formed when Scheidemann eentered
all his attention on agitating the
Stockholm socialist peace confer
ence" and when rumors of tacit gov
eminent backing to that effort began
circulating in Germany. Ledebour is
a socialist of extreme Leibknecht
type and 1t is coincident that he
represents Leibknechts' old district in
the reichstag.
Berlin dispatches, however, indi-
Gated that even Scheidemann with
his pro government sympathies was
greatly angered by the complete re-
fusal of the chancellor to grant any
part of the socialist request for
clear definition of war aims. He ap
parently went just as far as Ledebour
in warning the government OF popu-

FIREBRAND STOVALL STARTS
CONTROVERSY ON THE COAST

George Stovall, the hreorand "a
baseball. who was in the limelight
during the days OF the Federal league,
ard who was with the Toledo A A.
club last season. is now central figure
In a controversy 10 the Pacific Coast
league.
stovali recently went to that circuit
as manager of the Vernon club. Some
Of the league magnates did not wei
come him, and said so. That started
the trouble Now Stovali Is said to
rave promised to whip on sight Walter
McCredie, manager Of the Portland
club.
Judge VIM. wallace Mccredie. who
IN associated with Walter McCredie in
The Portland team. says:
IT do not like to comment on the
subject, because II Is unbelievable
that q baseball man Of sufficient
mental caltber to manage a Coast
league club would appear In the
public print with boasts OF his prize
lighting ability and threats to pun
mel q business associate In public.
IF Stovall really made these threats
let him come. think he'll get a
worse beating than his brother. Jess
stovall, got from Pat Eastley. There
was no Justification in the attack said
to have been made ty Stovail, because
what Walter said was not q personal
slam at him.
Walt merely said that 1t looked
strange to sec Stovall in the role OF a
Coast league manager when this same
St,vall did his best to wreck the
league a couple of years previous. 1t
was Stovali who signed Babe" Bor-
ton. Ernie johnson. Claire Goodwin.
Hill Kenworthy. Chester Chadbourne,
Art Kruger and lot of others for
the outlaw Federal league.
HE tried to get Bill Rodgers, Ray
mond Bates and Stanley Coveleskie
