Belgium S Reconstructed Army
Giving Remarkable Aid to Allies
% 600 Soldiers and All Her Factories and Material Lost in
Invasion, Divisions Have Been Reformed Munitions
Plants Built in France and Miles of Front Defended

on the User front, but also TO contrib.
ute TO the armament and supplies OF
the Allied armies.
II was to the United States that VI.
de Brocqueville looked immediately
after the termination Of the heroic de-
fence Of Belgian soil on the User for
the reconstruction of Belgian industry.
SPECIALISTS were sent TO purchase
American machine tools for the manu-
facture of everything the army needed,
and when the machines arrived mechan-
les released from military service were
ready to operate them. Fourteen thou
sand workmen are to-day employed in
those establishments.
New Belgian Army
The Belgian army is new in nearly
every feature. or the 10000 men in
the field and 10000 men who garrisoned
the forts 10000 fell into the hands OF
the retreat; 10000 more took refuge in
Holland and were informed for the
duration Of the war; $4,000 were lost
on the User in addition to more than
10000 killed and wounded in the bat
Ties of Liege. Haelen and st. Trond.
The reorganization WAS difficult. I'm
ohle TO call a session Of Parliament to
revise recruiting laws to accord with
the new situation, the government
could only appeal to the patriotism Of
refugees in England and France. The
response was such as to reconstitute
an army Of six divisions Of infantry
and two divisions Of cavalry, while
900 men were detached for the manu- nUo
facture of munitions in France and 600
sent TO Russia for the same purpose.
About 10000 more men were raised by
a decree calling up all Belgians eligible
for service between eighteen and forty
years of age.
A regiment of auto cannon, recruited,
among the Belgian refugees and trained
in Paris, was sent to the Russian front,
where II played an important part IN
BrusiloF's offensive in Galicia and
Volhynia in the the spring of 1916.

Austrian

Vienna. May 2s.-Ths War Office to-day
made public the toliorino official eommlmica-
ton.
The fighting on the Isonzo front yesterday
sIackened considerably. North Of the Vipacco
Valley the fighting on both sides was limited
to artillery firing.
On the Carso plateau, after four days OF
hot fighting, the Italian attack dissolved into
local Independent and partial attacks. Two
such attacks, undertaken with considerable
force Yesterday, were repulsed near Jamiano.
In the same region the enemy made three at
tempts TO rush our lines In the early morn
ing. Our brave Syrian Littoral Volunteer
sharpshooters repulsed the attack, during
which a Warbureian battalion TOOK 3Vo men
and two machine guns. :,
Attacks by Italian columns which advanced
simultaneously near Castaanayizza failed un-
der the FIRE Of our battalions.
All reports from our observers agree that
the losses the enemy has suffered considerably
surpass the sacrifices the Italians made in
the previous Isonzo battles. The ground be-
fore our positions is covered with bodies OF
Italians.
Sundays statement says:
Yesterdays operations were confined TO the
southern wing Of the Isonzo army. North oil
the Vipacco Valley. with the exception OF an
attack on the heights near Vodice, which was
quickly beaten Off. there were only artillery
dues of varying intensity. On the Carso
plateau the enemy again concentrated mighty
masses for an assault. At Fsjt and near
Castsgnavizza the fighting came to stand
still before our foremost trenches.
Between Jamiano and the sea the fighting
was severe, and several heights changed
hands rapidly during the day. Our defsnees
remained unbroken. and the firm manner In
which the brunt of the battle was borne by
our infantry is above all praise. Three
Honved regiments repulsed seventeen attacks
in forty-eight hours. besides thrice storming

ed in a hospital at Wimereux, France,

Major A. McHugh. Of Minneapolis.
For the first two weeks Of this month
the number of soldiers under the care
Of the military hospitals commission
increased from 6,e52 men to 6,269. Some

Teutons Plod in Vain
200 Desert Miles
In March on Suez
Sandstorms and Other Hardships
in Unmapped Country Rcspon-
siblc. Says Correspondent

The Hague, May 2s.--Paul SCHNEIDER,
imperial Ottoman war correspondent
contributes 20 the German press story
Of an unsuccessful Turco- German ad-
vance from Hebron across the PENN
sula of Sinai toward the Suez Canal,
the feature of which was keen disap-
pointment at "the most careful calcula-
tions being upset by hard facts. owing
to the Sinai peninsula being virtually
an unmapped country
SCHNEIDER explains that IL was i'm
possible TO march along the Mediter-
rsnean shore, owing TO fear of the
British feet, the only alternative
being forced marches across two hun
dred miles of terrible desert, harassed
by sandstorms, locusts and lack of
everything. Native guides were scarce.
or these he says:
ave found the local Bedouins, who
owed allegiance to England, most diff
cult to enlist in our service, and often
traitors The holy war idea left them
completely cold, as they are Indifferent
to religion"
Schweder further confesseS vexation
because the scheme to stir up a holy
war among the Mohammedans general
ly proved rank failure" and adds
significantly. "Other means had to be
devised to win over the Bedouins, but
they are absolutely unfit for soldier
ing. They have no idea of time, place
or anything else. and apart from occa-
sional scouting services, they were
quite useless"
The correspondent ends with an
amusinSy fierce attack upon "the Ger
man professions" of newspaper scrbes
and bluestockirgs, who pretended to
know all about the country from brief
trips on the Anatolian Railway, but
whose information-upon which the
German part of the expedition evident
ly greatly relied-turned out 20 be
utterly misleading and damaging to
the cause

Slavs Are Opposed
To Italian Scheme
To Control Adriatic
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes Lay
Claim to Austrian
Lands


Washington, May 28.-Vigorous OPP
position to Italy's ambition to control
the Adriatc has been voiced in En-
tente circles by representatives of
Serbia, Montenegro and the other Jugo-
slav states, it was learned here to-day.
A similar protest, it is said, has been
made against the Italian Irredentist
programme.
The Jugoslavs, composed Of Serbs,
Creates and Stevens, the latter two
groups being embraced chiefly in Aus
Hungarian territories, lay claim to
large areas, which, they asse. con-
sttute their national territory, form
ing an autographed and geographi-
cal unit.
Jugoslavdom, according to them,
comprises: Serbia and Montenegro;
nia-Herzegovina; Dalmatia and the
Dalmatian Archipelago; Croatia and
Slavonia, with Fiume and the Medium
uric; the country of the Drava in
South Hungary and the district for
merly called the Serbian Vojvodina
(Backa and Banat); Istria, the Istrian
Isles and Trieste; Carniola and Co.
rizia; Southern Syria and the adjoin-
ing territory in Southeast Hungary.
Italy's programme calls for the an
nexation of Trieste and the possible
granting of Fiume to Hungary. as an
outlet to the sea for Austria and
Hungary, and the acquisition Of belt
on the eastern shore Of the Adriatic
extending from Fiume to Cattaro. to-
gether with the islands Of the Adriatic.
The Italian contention is that the pos
session Of these territories, including
the belt, to be about twenty miles
broad, is necessary for the security Of
Italy. The Jugoslavs assert that the
dispossession Of Austria Hungary in

Headquarters Of the Belgian ArtIl-
lery Establishment Behind the Allies
Front, May 9.-Here, where the Bel
cian army is making its own cannon
its own rifles, its own shells, Its own
transport wagons, it's own saddles ana
harness, one can appreciate how other
outstanding features Of the war nave
unduly obscured the Belgian military
effort since the battles Of 1914.
The Belgian army had elk divisions
Of infantry and two divisions or cav
airy left to hold line of approximate
ly eighteen miles, or just about four
men TO the yard Of front, front where
particular vigilance is required be-
cause of the German tactics OF con-
slant trial attacks. No part OF the
Allies line is more closely watched and
explored by the enemy's patrols. A
weak spot anywhere would provoke an
immediate offensive.
The Belgian army has had TO work
necessarily to keep up its breastworks
and AT the same time put up an unre-
hitting defence. The solidity OF that
defence is an important factor in CIV
ing TO the British and French armies
liberty of movement in operating on
other parts of the line.
