Italy Is Stronger;
No Drive Seen

WASHINGTON, May 4-Adyices to
the Italian embassy here from Rome to-
day made no mention OF the beginning
of the Austria offensive on the Italian
front, but said the Austrians, because
OF the heavy SHOWS, had been Obliged
to postpone their offensive operations.
The delay caused by the snow caused
the AuStrians to delay their activities
and withhold their guns and ammuni-
tion which are being produced in largo
quantities in their factories at day and
night schedules The losses in war ma
terial suffered by Italy last fall have
entirely been replaced and Austria be-
gins TO feel that Italy is growing
stronger every day and that il is not
safe for Austria to bring any assistance
to Germany on the western front"

from il, according to the latest re-
ports, which speaks eloquenily OF
the efficacy OF the French gas
protectors
A large part Of the fighting was
with machine guns, OF which the
Germans always had great numbers,
and at times the German enfilading
fire was terrific. The French artil-
lery and machine guns however,
in their turn reaped great harvest
from the enemy.
Huns Torn to Pieces.
Al times the French 75s got into
heavY concentrations of infantry and
literally tore them to pieces. The
German loses in many instances are
placed as high as ~ percent.
The work of French runners with
messages was noteworthy. They
refused to rest and kept at their
task
The rationing OF one famous regi-
ment which fought at Verdun was a
great feat II had always been noted
for IT'S fine rations and the com
mander decided that nothing should
deprive the men OF their accustomed
fare. 1t was impossible to use the
transport because OF the artillery
fire so that rations were brought
forward on machine gun carriages
under a heavy fire. The regiment
had its beeisteak and wine every
day and furnished neighboring reg
iments as well.
Nearly all the stretchsr-besrers
were killed. One strstcher-b bearer
worked six days and nights without
rest.
German aisplaass were out ia
force. Thsy flew at an altitude of
100 metres and ustd machine guns
continuously against ths infantry.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY
IN FRANCE, Friday, May s..
Veterans OF the defense OF Nerdun
predomnated among the French
soldiers who so gallantly defended
KENNEL Hill against the Germans.
Many OF them had fought at Fleu-
~, and they knew what hard fight
ing was. but declare that Verdun
was child's play compared to the
conflict IN Flanders recently.
Worst Bombsrdment
The bombardment at Verdun had
set high water mark for concen-
tration OF guns OF all calibres, but,
say those who went through it, it
was nothing compared to what the
French troops experienced during
the German drive against KENNEL
Hill The French troops took up
positions about KENNEL on April z.
relieving the battle-wesry British.
Throughout April q and "a before
the attack. the Germans maintained
a tremendous bombardment and
threw hundreds OF Thousands of gas
shells mixed with ordinary explo-
Sive shells.
Ten Shells a Second.
On the morning of the attack on
KENNEL, the German gunncrs placed
ten big shells per second on the
crest of the hill and during that
day the French put on their gas
masks fifty differnt times, for as
fast as the wind cleared the gas
away, another deiugc OF the poison
Gus vapor poured over the hill. Part
of the time the poilus had to sleep
IN their gas masks. Great guam
titi' Of gas was thrown and the
French had only twelve casualties

LOST FOR NINETEEN YEARS
Box of First-Rid Material Made for
Use in Spanish War just
Turns Up.

Burr Oak, Mich.-After being on the
way 10 years, box was received by
Capt. Charles P. Wheeler sent him by
express by his mother.
Captain Wheeler led a company Of
volunteers in the Spanish-American
war in 1898, and while at Camp AL
ger, Don Loring, Va, his mother sent
him a box weighing 20 pounds, con-
tanning frst-aid material and medicine.
Before the box arrived the company
had moved to Cuba, and as the COM
pany moved so rapidly the box never
caught up. On his return he tried to
trace the box without success.
Last week the box arrived from Phil
aGelphia, being sent by Col. R. Fl.
Rolfe of the Quartermaster corps, it
being presumably laid aside with
other war material and finally brought
to light.
The contents of.the box were in good
condition, and Captain Wheeler has
turned over the box to the Three kiy-
ers camp Of the Spanish-American Vet
erans to be disposed OF for the benefit
Of the Red Cross.
