 Austrians Pushed Back
 Austrian troops have been pushed back across the Piave. During the offensive last fall they crossed the new channel of the river and pushed ahead for some distance toward the old river bed. In the lesser offensive last month they made further progress there and crossed the old course. but were forced back Since the collapse of the Austrian drive. the Italians have been steadily forging ahead in this region and it is now admitted by Vienna that all the Austrian posi- tions to the west of the river have been abandoned.

ASKS ASSISTANCE
 OF ROOSEVELT IN
 RECRUITING IRISH
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

DUBLIN. July 7.-Col. Arthur Lynch, nationalist member of parliament. who recently accepted a commission to as- sist in the recruiting campaign in Ire land, has sent an appeal to Theodore Roosevelt for cooperation. In the course of the communication Col Lynch says:
 Send me word of encouragement, or better still, come yourself and help me win the young men of Ireland to the allies cause.
 There are grave and deep difficult ties, lamentable stories of cheated hopes. unrecognized rights and hatreds for wrongs inflicted in the past. But one feature throws these matters into the proper perspective-the fact that the Germans are laundering at the gates of Paris, are hammering at the channel ports.
 If they win. it will be needless to make plans for Ireland or dream dreams of liberty. Potsdam will take care of Erin.
 When the stars and stripes was raised over the cause when once Old Glory had blown out her folds, the em- blem of liberty. a sign of protection to millions of Irishmen, I had hoped that opposition to the allies would close. But ancient wrongs and present resentment proved too strong.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire

There has been little activity of sig nificance bearing on the general situa- ton from the North sea to- Switzer- land.
 East of Amiens Australian detach- ments, with which the Americans are brigaded, have pushed farther east from Hamel, south of the Somme. The Australians advanced over front of almost four miles there last Thurs day. In their last assault they have surged ahead at the center of the new front. The operation was successful, in that objectives were reached and the positions are being held.
 Heavy Gun Firing
 Along the southern side of the Lys salient there has been heavy artillery firing. especially in the Hinges sec tor. During the fighting in April, when the Germans had pushed far ahead in the Flanders area, the battle north and east of Hinges was most desperate.
 In the French sectors in the Disc, Soissons and Reims sectors only patrol encounters have been reported. The Americans and French have been quite active near Chateau Thierry, where
