experience for members OF the pivis-

for their unpleasant odor than for their

Night drills arc essential for the sue
ccssful development OF the men The
sector used for the attack was par.icu-
lar appropriate. Barbed wire cntangie-
mcnts, shell holes and other i'm
pcdments made moving of the men
difficult and the work moro realistic.
y few bruises from falls while moving
around in the dark resulted from the

gas attacks arc made at night.
THRIFT STAMPS ARE
PLACED ON SAID
lieutenant Charles NJ Jones. OF tho
War Risk Insurance Bureau. has becn
delegated by the commanding general
to have charge OF the sale OF thrift
stamps to the men Of the division. 1t
is not the intention to have sys-
tematic campaign made for the sale Of
stamps to the men. though they will
be placed on sale and members *ill be
encouraged to buy them.
In the first Liberty bond campaign
many members Of the division, in the
height Of patriotism and at enthusiastic
gatherings, purchased Liberty bonds to
the excess OF the amount that their
salary of $50 month justified. This
was especially true OF men who have
dependents and who either By c6rnpul-
sion from the government or through
wishes Of their own are providing for
them as far as their salary will per-
init. Accordingly when a campaign to
get each man provide for himself In
event or injury or his dependents in
event ct death, BY taking insurance,
nun bers were not drawing sufficient
cash from tho government to take care
OF an additional expense. To relieve
this situation 100000 worth OF sub
scriptions that were taken for Liberty
bonds have been allowed to be can
ccled.

GERMANS PUSHED BACK
italians Capture Bridgehead-
Enemy Driven to Eastern
Bank of Piave River.
TURKS ARE SMASHED AGAIN

London, Jan. 2.-Following the mi.
tial drive of the French troops eff
fected on the northern front in Italy,
another reverse has been brought
about by the Italians in a sharp at
tack in the famous Zenson loop on
the lower reaches OF the Piave river.
Here the enemy has been driven to
the eastern bank of the stream from
positions he had held since the Itai-
ians in the retrOgade movement from
the Isonzo made their stand alons
the western shore Of the Piave. Thus
the entire right bank of the Piave
has been cleared OF the Invaders, ex-
cept-far TO the north, where the bat
tie line runs westward from the
stream through the hill region.
The fighting for the Zenson bridge
head had been in progress since last
Thursday, the Italians keeping ener-
getically after the foe in order TO re
gain the position, which always has
Heavy casualties were inflicted on
enemy by the artillery and rifle fire
of the Italians before he was forced
to recross the stream.
The attack of the French troops in
the Monte TOmba region was exc
cuted by three batteries OF picked
troops. The artillery preparation
which lasted fer hours, was intense
and was followed by a brilliant and
impetuous charge. The attacking
forces went forward steadily and the
enemy trenches were reached, great
number of trenches their occupants
being captured.
British troops in Palestine under
the command of Gen. Allenby have
made further progress along the bat
tie line north of Jerusalem, the Brit
ish war Office announced. More than
1000 Turks were killed and $50 were
taken prisoner.
