ITALIANS TAKE STEPS TO FUR.
Their IMPROVE THEIR sPo-
SiTlONS there.
GAIN CONSIDERABLE GROUND
Another Sudden Rise In the Ptave
River Hampers General Diaz'
Forces in Their Pursuit Of tho
Defeated Austrians.

London, June 27.-Now that the
P1ave line is again intact, the Italians
have begun operations On the Eou-,.
tain front looking to tho further i'm
provement of the positions there. On
the northwestern slopes Of Monte
Grappa, between the E-enta and the
Pave, the Italians have gained con-
siderable ground and taken more
more than 1900 prisoners.
Italian attacks on the mountain
front probably are for the purpose Of
forestalling any intended enemy effort
there as well as to improve the 1tal-
han positions. Strong raids are being
carried out also on the Asiago plateau.
Key Position Improved.
The Italian gain on Monte Grappa
is most important as the mountain
is the key position to the terrain be-
tween the Brenta and the Pave and
dominates the hills southwark to the
Venetian plain. It was on this height
that the Austrians met with failure in
their last attempts to reach the plain
from the north.
In completing the recapture Of the
western bank of the Pave the Ital-
ians added 1000 prisoners to the al
ready large number taken from the
enemy. While the sudden rise Of the
river distressed the Austrians who
had crossed to the western bank the
river fell during the enemy retreat
but again has risen, hampering the
Italian pursuit on the eastern bank.
italians Relax Pursuit.
Apparently the Italians have been
content to hold the strong bridgeheads
on the eastern bank rather than to
attempt to pursue the enemy any dis
lance eastward.
Vienna officially places the Italian
losses at 10000, including $4,000 pris'
oners. It admits the retirement across
the Pave from Montello to the 'Adri
attic, but intimates that the Italians
did not press the retiring Austrians
very Closely. In their efforts on the
mountain front, it is asserted, the
Italians were repulsed completely:
Local Operations.
Local operations along the French
and British fronts are officially re-
ported. Prisoners and machine guns
were taken by the Allies In these
which appear to have been no more
than outpost encounters.

WHY THE SAVINGS PLEDGE?

During the present intensive War Say
ings campaign we are asked by the
president and by Secretary McAdoo
to save and with our savings to buy
at definite times specific amount of
War Savings Stamps. Why should we
be called upon to do this and why
should we do it?
We are called upon to do it because,
as President Wilson says, this is a war
of nations, not of armies, and everyone
in the land must do his share. So far
more than 100000 have gone into the
army and navy and 100000 more are
to join before August 1. These 3,000-
600 men give themselves as their dona-
ton to the war. The remaining 97,000,-
900 people left at home must give
something else as their share.
This savings pledge gives the stay
at-homes an opportunity for service. We
are asked to pledge ourselves to save
and economize, to use labor and ma
terials only as necessity demands, and
to invest our savings in War Savings
Stamps.
The Government asks us to do this
because the amount Of labor and ma
terials in the country is limited; there
is not enough of either to permit US to
use it in the same free way as we did
in peace times and at the same time to
leave enough in the markets for the
use of the Government. It is purely a
question Of supply and demand. If we
use the supply the Government does
not have, it for war needs. And. the
smaller the amount the Government has
for use the longer will the war last.
That is the primary reason for the saw
ings campaign.
But there is another side to the ques-
ton. The Government asks to pledge
ourselves to save to help win the war.
1t does not ask us to give it anything
except our cooperation. In return for
our help we receive Government Sc
curity which pay US a good rate of
interest.
