MOWN DOWN
ATTACKS SMASHED.

Success has apparently crowned
the offensive of the Italians in the
mountains north of the Venetian
plains. Launched on Saturday, the
attack on the Austrian lines has
gained rugged heights where the en-
envy was strongly entrenched, and
the fighting is still going on. Wen
ma admits a retirement to prepared
positions" which is the expression
used in official statements to mean
that an enemy blow has gained i'm
portant ground.
After three days of struggling in
the mountains, the Italians are still
hammering hard at the most power
full and threatening positions of the
enemy. They have not only gained
ground, but have held it against des-
mown down by artillery fire and
perate counter attacks by the Aus
,ro-Hunaarian forces, which here
completely checked by the Italian in
fantry.

KHAKI BELONGS TO SOLDIERS.

Baltimore, Md, July Sat the
opening session of the seventeenth
semi-annual convention of the In
ternatfonal Association of Clothing
Designers here, Irving Frankel,
Cincinnati, Ohio, the President, call
ed upon the members to voice a
strong protest against the further
manufacture of olive drab and kha-
XII garments for civilians. He also
asked the convention to protest
against the manufacture of any
garments for civilian wear that tend
to infringe on the uniform of the
United States army.
"The Government needs every bit
of Uniform cloth that it can lay its
hands on" Mr.. Frank said, land It
is the patriotic duty of the designer
to keep away from it. We must
put our foot down upon this abuse
so hard there will be no opportunity
for garments of these materials to
De put OH tIle lndIhct'
"If the fellow who wears these
garments is so anxiouj to wear the
uniform color let him join the army.
There is plenty of room there for
him, and Uncle Sam will see that he
gets everything that goes with the
uniform"
=. i've Disqualification of woolens
and colorings also was advocated by
President Frankel, who said shrink
age causes greater loss than any
thing else. He urged that the
Government eliminata all one dol
| lar-a-year men and replace them
with practical men. Profiteers were
denounced as traitors who made
the consumer pay the bill, and life
| Imprisonment was urged as the PEN
atty. He predicted that America
was destined to be the greatest coun-
try in the world.
