ENEMY OFFENSIVE
MEETS FAILURE
THEIR EFFORTS TO HOLD THEIR
ANTAGONIST LACK USUAL
FORCE AND STAMINA.
BRIDGES ARE CARRIED AWAY
Further Enemy Loss Is Imminent
Through Destruction Of Pontoon
Bridges Over Piave River

Over the entire mountain region
the Austrians have remained quiet, ex-
cept when compelled to go on the de-
fensye, and then their efforts to hold
back their antagonists have lacked
the stamina usual in men whose
hearts are in their task This con-
dltOn has prevailed since the first on
slaughts Of the enemy was summarily
stopped by the fire OF the British,
French and italian forces forming the
barrier to the Venetian plains.
More heart Is being thrown into the
work by the enemy along the Pave
from the Montello plateau southwark
to the region lying east of Venice.
Here he still seems, outstanding
his heavy losses and numerous re-
pulses on various sectors bent on
throwing his armies across the stream
or pushing further westward with
those of his forces that already have
forded it, Nevertheless. further set
backs to the Austrians have followed
those OF past days on the Montello,
where the Italians are viciously dis
putting the right Of way to the plains.
Likewise. near the famous Zenson
loop, farther down the stream. the
enemys heavy attacks have been held
and under the impetus OF the Italian
counter blows he has fallen back
nearer the river for reintorcements
hastily brought up.
Still farther south between Fos-
salta and San bona di Piave the Ital-
ians have further pushed back the in
vaders, and unofficial reports assert
that they have recaptured the village
OF capo Sile, lying on the edge of the
marsh region some 20 miles east OF
historic Venice
II is not outside the range of posi-
bility that large number Of the Aus
TRANS are in fair way to be taken
prisoner by the Italians, for a large
number of THE pontoon bridges which
they threw across the Pave over the
l4l2 mile front between the Coneg-
liano railway bridge an dthe Zenson
loop have been carried away on the
bosom Of the swollen stream At any
rate the loss of these bridges will
necessarily seriously impede the rein
forcement OF the Austrans on the
west bank OF the stream and the re-
punishment of their supplies.
Meanwhile, the food situation and
the war WEAKNESS of the people with
in the dual monarchy again are max
ing trouble for the authorities. Trou.
blous times also seemingly are in
store for the German government ow-
ing to lack Of bread In Vienna mobs
are reported to have raided bakeries
and stoned the residence of the pre-
mier and even to have attacked one
OF the wings Of the imperial palace
Troops had to be called out TO restore
order.

other notable works that have inter

Some critics place him at the head OF
the worlds novel writer's IN style, the
development and portrayal of eharae-
tiers. His influence for good has been
world wide and he has immortaized
the Negro in tales Of romance and ne

The best money maker on the
farm is the hen. She turns grass
into greenbacks, grain into gold
and from the sand and gravel she
coins silver. There is nothing
else on the place to compare with
her. The cattle and horses are
her heavy customers, and to get
their value we must part with
them, but not SO with the hen.
In her small way she is gold
mine on the face of the earth;
mill that grinds that which others
overlook or refuse.
