Rome Denies Assaults

LONDON, Dec. berlin officially
reported to-day that tho Italians AT
.acked Yesterday on Monte Pertica. be-
.ween the Brenta and the Piave rivers,
but had failed 10 make progress. ms
was fatty contradicted by the Rome
official statement, which said: There
was no infantry fighting yesterday
II seems clear that the initiative on
the northern sector has now passed to
the Italian armies.
Won Bellows exhausted troops have
still failed to revive sufficiently 10
renew their attacks on the Italian
lines, despite the fact that every day
that passes makes it more unlikely
they can crush their way through 10
the Venetian Plains and deal Italy
knockout blow.
Great artillery duels and air fight
ing were the features of the battle
line of the Piave and the mountain
sectors adjoining to the west. The
Italian communique said the enemy
was concentrating his big gun tre on
the Asiago Plateau, between Monte
Sismel and Monte Castelgomberto, a
region which has seen some OF tnt
bitterest hand-to-hand fighting Of the
last two weeks.
The Italian artillery's reply to the
German bombardment was effective al
many points. 1t is mentioned espe'
cially that moving bodies of the en-
envy were shelled effectively betweer
the Piave and the Piave Vecchia. This
is the district inundated along the
coast.
The Italians set afre one captive
balloon and forced another to land, be-
sides bringing down three enemy air
nlanns in nerial dnels

tered the war. The entente wanted to
ascertain how far America is going in

will commit itself to fight to the end
without separate peace. Here arises
the question of how far the president
can commit the country TO such a vir-

A new and accurate test for color

and is described in the Upsala
Lakareforenings Forhandlingar BY
Drs. G. g. Bostrom, G. n. Gothlin and
III. J. Ohrvall.
It Is made with a chart on which
are evenly scattered patches Of color,
all very much alike and of irregular
outline, showing the white background
between them all. They are a light
and a dark reddish lavender ana q
dull cherry red. The dull red patches
are arranged in such a way that they
form a large figure three or six, but
as these are exactly the same tone as
the light lavender 1T would be impos-
sible to distinguish the figure unless
n was certain Of the difference in
tint between the red and the 1aven-
der.
The figures are to be spoken aloud
