RUSH AUSTRIANS TO FRONT
Italians, However. Are Ready to
Check Large or Small Offensive.

Italian Army Headquarters, June
l1.-Railroals behind the Austrian
lines in Northern Italy are being run
to their capacity night and day in
bringing troops to the front, dis
tributing them to different sectors ami
moving heavy guns and large guam
titles of munitions to positions near
the battle line. A special system of
drills to improve the physical condl-
ton Of the Austrian soldiers and give
them training for assaulting positions
also has been put into effect.
The Austrians in the mountain dis
trict are under the direct command Of
Field Marshal Conrad Won Hoetzen-
dorf. Field Marshal Boroevio, COM
mander-in-chief of the Austrian
forces on the Italian front, is located
in the Piave river district. 1t is he
who last year promised to deliver
Venice to his emperor and initiated
air raids upon churches and monu-
mcnts in that city untii,~the Italian
aerial pilots destroyed the effective
ness of the Austrian raiders.
1t is known that the enemy is max
ing strenuous efforts to prevent de-
serters from reaching the Italian
lines, carrying information of troop
dispositions. Heavy rewards have
been offered for the shooting Of de-
serters. The enemy, however, is be-
ing watched carefully by the Italians,
who, seek to checkmate threatened
offensive, whether it be on large
scale or intended merely to bluff the
Italians from sending troops to
France or to satisfy German de-
mands for an offensive.
Behind the Italian lines the aspect
of the country is peaceful. Children
are seen fishing in the canals and
streams orp@ laying upon the grear
highways leading up to the front.

With the French Army in France,
June 11.-Fighting in this war prob
ably never has been more severe than
that going on today in the great bat
t.e of French and German armies be-
tween Montdidier and Noyon.
The Germans attacking OH ground
where the Entente Allies were ready
to receive the shock. have found them.
selves thrown into slaughter house
whence most of them never Will make

Al the conclusion of the first "a
hours of the new battle the impres.
sion gained was thar the powerful
German smash had not brought th'
enemy the result he expected. The
allied line was bent in the center
quite insignifcantly, and the resist.
ance of the French opposing on the.

reared to be efficacious.
Extreme violence was the dominan,
note of the battle on the first day and
desperate assaults with huge masses

least for some days.
Paris, June ll.-Battling with un
paralleled fury, the Germans are
throwing fresh divisions into vain as
saults on minor positions not the
main line of French defenses, on the
front between Montdidier and the Disc
Ten and twelve times these attacks
were repeated in the last twentyfour
hours. each time with the same re-
sult-frightful loss to the attackers.
The Matz Valley, where the Ger.
man center is fighting, is proving a
death trap for the Teutons. The
French, unsurpassed by Sundays OF.
:cnsive, lost no time counter-attack
ing with strong forces. 1t was the
2nemy who was surprised this time.
for manifestly he had not looked for
such strong wall defense.
Five German divisions already have
Tsd to be withdrawn because of the
terrific losses. The Germans still are
attacking six men to one yard. All
day Sunday they were targets tha!
-,ould not be. missed.
Tie French prevented two German
divisions from reaching the jumping
IF places which they were frantica!ly
trying to capture. These two divi-
.ions had to be retired before being
actually engaged in hand to.Rand
fighting, so murderous was the French
artillery.

be of interest to the public in genc"s!
rs well as attorneys:
To all railroads and terminal compa-
nies under government control in
southern territory:
The Federal Control Act contem-
plates that suits for personal injuries
may be brought as heretofore, but
provides that executions may not be
levied on the property of the carrier
while in the possession of the govern
ment. This means that while a .judg
mcnt may be recovered, it devolveS
upon the. Director General to provide
for payment and this places upon
him the responsibility. of considering
the iaerits of the claims and the per
sons to whom paymen. is made. 1t 's
the desire of the Director General that
Justice shall be done to all employees
who are injured in the discharge oF
their duties. This does not mean
that vcrdicts based Upon preludlces
or passion shall be paid or that larg
sums shall be paid by the govern
mcnt to attorneys and solicitors who
have no claim upon the government.
The right is reserved to consider the
merits in determining what provision
shall be made.
1t will be the policy of the govern
mcnt to discourage litigation, and tc
deal directly with injured persons to
the end that the injured person may
receive the benefit of any amount
which the government pays, without
the expense of litigation, and without
being compelled to turn over one
third or one-half to an attorney. lo'
may, therefore, let it he known thai
such claims will be considered on its
merits.
A. to fee contracts: You are author
lied to exercise wise discretion, and
are not required to make payment as
provided therein, but only on sucf
terms as will enable the person IN
iured to receive just treatment. II
the contract is unjust, you may pay
the attorney such reasonable sum as
will pay him for the services actually
rendered.
