MILLS TO HAVE
GOOD TEAMS FOR
CORNELL GAMES

Athletic activities at Mills School
for the past, week have been directed
to preparation for the Cornell Cup
meet to be held next Saturday after
noon at kamehameha field. Mills
strong forte in the past has always
been lcng-distance running, and spe-
cfal attention has been paid to the
two and four-m;le relays. The two
teams have been practically decided
upon as fellows: =
Four mile relay-Chur Lee Puck,
Edward Ha, Kosiki, Frank Souza.
Two-mile relay-Choy boo Wan,
Teragawa. Paul Ng, Ishimura.
Although there have been several
elimination contests during the week
in an attempt to pick teams and de-
eide on other entries, nothing very
definite has SO far been done regard
ing the field events and dashes The
only event in which Mills will not
make an entry is the high jump
Coach Ross thinks the long distance
men profited much by the loss of the
Cornell cross country trophy to Kane
hameha two weeks ago, and feels sure
that as consequence the long dis
lance events will be the most exciting
in Saturdays meet. The neck and
neck race between Kan and Mills in
the cross country run gives great
promise of a hard battle
The past week has also seen the
cornletion of a new swimming tank
at Mills School. This, together with
the Encouragement of the baseball
field in preparation for the inter-class
bali games, will constitute the main
sources for the outlet of energy for
the next several weeks.

WHY ITALIAN
ARMY FAILED
LACK OF MATERIAL. MUNITIONS.

ed tro, the right wing In the face
of an Shelming Austro-German
force coming from the Russian borders
are the causes assigned by technical
experts of the italian mission here for
the Italian defeat In the Julian Alps.
There must be n reformation of the
fighting lines they say. and resump-
ton of the Italian offensive cannot be
expected before next spring. the cam.
paign meanwhile being of necessity on
defensive lines.
Members of the mission are confident
that reler enu assistance will be forth
coming very soon from Italy's allies.
Men are not wanted; Italy has an abun-
dance of men. Munitions. steel. coal
be had at once.
The Italian right which first failed
under the encmy's great assault, 1t liz
said here, was composed Of territorials,
not seasoned in war. The break made
it necessary for the whole front to
be withdrawn to avoid thanking at
tack. The Italian general staff knew
that no less than 100000 German and
Austrian troops were facing Cadorna's
army. Nevertheless the attack could
have been resisted successfully. Italians
here say. had heed been given by the
allies to Italy's calls for munitions and
supplies.
Most of the zoo cannon lost were
taken without having fired shot for
lack OF ammunition.
Last week the Italian embassy here
learned that the American shipping
board had allotted 25 ships or 100000
tons to Italy and these ships should
be able to carry not Only munitions but
supplies of food to the Italian people
and thereby relieve the Internal polit.
ical strain.

against the Italians. the mission here
Germany has played her great
est card. The Italians when turned
back were within 50 miles of Lcibach,
which In the opinion of the Italian gen
eral stan, was the key to success and
the capture of that place by the Ital-
ian forces would have meant the col
lapse OF Austria, which in turn. would
cause defeat for Germany.
