The frame work of the super

Australians and Americans

The Australian troops have advanc-
ed their line northeast of Villers-
6retonneuX on a front of 1000 yards,
according to Field Mashal Haig's re-
port from british headquarters in
France.
Except on the Italian front, the
closing days of the week witnessed
little fighting of an intensive nature
anywhere. For the moment the al

such dispositions for a new attack as
the Germans might be making on

The Austro-Hungarian resistance
was shattered in the area where the
River Piave enters the Adriatic. The
italians yesterday pushed forward
and reached the right bank of the
new Piave from Grisolera to the
south of the river and took 400 pris-

The Australians and Yankees today
were holding their newly won posses
sions strongly after having repulsed
q series of three counter attacks dur
ing the night-one on each flank and
a third in the center.
All these enemy assaults were
thrown back easily and still more
prisoners we're added to the large
number taken yesterday while many
of the hostile infantry perished in
the attempts to regain that which
they had lost.
Additional reports confirm previ-
ous cnos that the enemy casualties
Thursday were exceedingly heavy
and that the German list of killed
was very long. Not only did the at
tacking forces work havoc in the en-
emy ranks, but the supporting ar
tillery maintained a most destructive
fire over the German territory.

RUSSIAN SHIPS
SHELL GERMANS
War Vessels in Black Sea Attack
Enemy Land Forces at
MariupoI.
DETAILS ARE LACKING
SIav Fleet at SebastopoI Evidently
Managed to Escape When leu
tons Captured That Naval
Base.

Berlin, via London, May Seer,
man forces in the harbor of Mariupol
have been shelled by Russian war
ships, the German war office an
nounced. The statement says:
"In the harbor establishments of
Mariupol we were bombarded by Rus
sian ships"
Mariupol is a Russian seaport on
the north shore of the Sea of AZov,
lao miles southeast of Yekaternioslav.
The Berlin statement indicates that
part of the Russian Black Sea fleet
is still at large and actively opposing
the German invasion along the Lit
oral in the direction of the Caucasus.
The fact that the Berlin war office
takes occasion to make special an
nouncement of the attack by Russian
ships may indicate that the Germans
thus wish to justify further aggressive
measures in Russia.
One of Germany's boldest aims in
connection with the conquest of Rus
STA is to join the Russian Black Sea
fleet with the Turkish naval forces
and attack the Allied bases in the
Mediterranean. 1t was feared for a
time the Germans had captured the
Black Sea fleet when Sebasto1ol was
occupied, but the German statement
discloses that the Russian warships
again escaped.

With American Forces on the
French Front, May S.-A heavy gas
attack against the American troops
on the Picardy front was launched by
the Germans during the night.
Early in the evening they sent over
$4,000 shells composed chiefly of mus

shells were followed by an intense
artillery fire at midnight, when sew
eral hundred shells were dropped in
to the American lines.
Enemy airplanes appeared over the
American lines about the same time.
Anti-aircraft guns brought down one
German machine and damaged an
other.
The extreme activity of the artil-
lery and aviators, the rifle fires and
night flares and the reported move
