ITALIANS IN
PURSUIT OF
FLYING FOES.
ROME AYERS
Austrian Line on Isonzo
Front is Said to Have
Been Pierced at Several
Points.
PEAK IS CAPTURED
(By Associated Press)

The Austrian line on the Isonzo
front had been broken at several points
by the Italians, 1t Is announced offic-
tally at Rome. The Italians, continu-
ing their furious assaults between
Tolmino and the Adriatic, are now pur-
suing the retreating Austrians who are
defending the difficult ground yard by
yard
One of the most brilliant feats of
the Italians was the capture of Monte
Santo, 2245 feet high. This peak, sew
eral miles north of Gorilla, dominates
the broad plain beyond that city, and
occupancy Of 1t has enabled the Aus
trians, to hold up the Italian advance
to the east since their capture of the
city.
Tells Little Of Facts.
The brief official recital gives little
idea of the struggle which attended the
storming of the Austrian stronghold on
the mountain top but 1t doubtless will
have an important bearing on the de-
velopment of the Italian campaign.
Having gained their principal OBJ
jectives on the Verdun front the
French are completing their victory by
local attacks to round out and secure
their new line. Profiting by the cap
ture OF hill 304 yesterday, they ad-
vanced last night to the north OF 1t.
Three fortified woods In the vicinity of
Bethincourt were stormed.
Renewal of fighting In the Cham
payne may be forecast by the state
ment in the official French report that
violent artillery engagements sare In
progress there In Belgium also IN the
vicinity of Vixschoote the big guns are
heavily engaged.
No further infantry action on large
scale are reported by the British al
though they were successful In minor
operations last night. The German
trench positions west Of Lens of local
Importance and a post near Lombaert-
zyde were captured with prisoners.
Near Epehy, northwest Of St Quentin
there Is increasing activity with heavy
artillery fighting under way.

Jackie limited Out
To Sunday Dinner
In Chicago Suburb

GREAT LAKES. Ill. Ang 25.-Sun-
day used to be lonesome day for the
Jaches at the Great Lakes Naval
Training station. Now its the one OF
all the week that is always looked for
ward to with pleasant anticipation.
Formerly there was no girl to fuss -
no family to talk with, and most Of all.
that great American institution-the
Sunday dinner-was missing. After a
week, crowded with drills, study. work
and play, the Day OF Rest found Jack
ie with time heavy on his hands.
Then some residents OF Winnetka,
one Of Chicago's suburbs which is near
the station, as an experiment, invited
several to their homes. Instead Of the
rather crudish overgrown youths that
they had expected, they found clean,
wellmannered young men, many Of
them from universities and COLLEGES.

RAT|ONS..
URGES BARNARD

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 25.-The sug-
gestion that portions of food served
members of family be cut down and
the rule "if you want more asked for
IT" adopted has been made by DR.. H.
Z. Barnard, state food and drug COM
missioner. He says:
In institutions each inmate gets a
fixed amount of food. In the army ev-
cry soldier is served his ration The
allowance is based on the idea that a
certain, definite amount of food is
necessary to sustain life and do work.
But some individuals need more food
than others. They weigh different
amounts, they do different work. Some
are what we call heavy eaters others
are content with less. There must be
some waste when a fixed food allow
ance is measured out, unless that
amount is held so low that the danger
OF under nourishment is always pres
ent.
