AUsTRIANS ROB PRISONERS.
Italian Soldiers Return Reduced to SO
Pounds Average Weight.

Italian prisoners returned from
Austria average only eighty pounds
in weight. They charge that all food
sent them from Italy is stolen by
their Austrian captors and eaten or
sold. Even the Christmas packages
sent by the Pope and bearing his in
scription were looted.
These charges were contained in an
official Italian cable received here
last night. The cable says:
prisoners returned from Austria
are themselves the best proof of the
atrocious treatment to which they are
subjected. They average in weight
only from 81 to As kilos $50 pounds
Packages addressed to our prison.
ers in Austria by friends and by the
Red Cross containing food are never
delivered. Austrian officers take the
addresses from the packages and con-
sign them to their Austrian friends.
Packages containing either rice OF
chocolate invariably find their way
to the tables of the officers in charge
Of prisoners. Postal agents deliver
ing packages have again and again
been seen to be robbed by military
officers. In many cases it is proven
that the packages thus taken nave
been sold. If any prisoner denounces
such a transaction he is Immediately
made to suffer the punishment which
should have been meted out to the
thief.
an December, 1917, over 10000
packages were thus disposed of.
Among these were several thousand
sent to our prisoners before Christmas
by the Pope, and bearing his inscrip-
ton as follows: "The Holy Father
sends with his blessing"
The same dispatches tell of depor-
tations and forced labor imposed upon
the civil population of the Italian &C.
cupied provinces by the Austrians,
similar to the oppressive measures
imposed by the Germans in Belgium
and Northern France.

PHILLIPS FAMILIES
 FIGHTING AT FRONT
MANY PATRIOTIC PEOPLE ARE BROUGHT TO THE FORNT BY WARS VISITUDES -GREENLEE CLAIMS HER SHARE.

War, in all its vicisitudes, brings to light many things, which otherwise
 would never have been known. Of course, few there be, if any, who ever doubted the patriotism of the Ameri-
 can people. True, we have many able
 bodied men, just over the old draft
 age, who failed to enlist, preferring
 to wait until the congress raised the
 age limit before coming up to the full height of a 100 per cent Ameri- can.
 But this story has to do with a family that has already matriculated i in the 100 per cent American class. We have heretofore told about sever al patriotic American families. Some have contributed as many as dozen ,, in the ranks who are fighting the com mon enemy, others not so many, but the major portion of the families are i represented, and then some.
 We are talking about the Phillips : families now. These two families
 here considered, are not numerically . nreat, but each one is fighting unit, which is better proposition. Greenlee rather prides herself on having such patriotic people. They are great big golden stars in the county's service flag, even though none of the patriots mentioned have been slain in battle.
 The head of one of the Phillips fami lies here discussed is a veteran of the Civil War. From 1860 to the time when the immortal Lee gave up the struggle, overpowered but not whipped, he followed the illfated stars and bars, little dreaming then that the time would ever come when his discen dants would be called upon to uphold the integrity of "Old Glory But time brings its changes. Those whom he has reared are in the bat ties front, fighting for democracy while their aged sires trudges daily to his nearest postoffice eager to get the latest news from the front-as eager perhaps as he was to hear that Forest or Stewart had trapped the Tanks of long ago. We are all Tanks now, and the descendants of those who follow ed the ill-fated flag of Lee are as truly Americans as those who were under the beneficient protection of the victorious Grant.
 MT. Phillips has three boys already in France doing their bit for demo- cracy. Herbert, another son, left last week to help build the ships to win this fight. so why not give this family a vote of honor?
 Mrs E. N. Phillips is another war mother whom all patriotic Americans should doff their hats to when she passes by. She lives in Duncan, but she has sent already two sons to
 France and one in the United States navy. George Phillips. another son . is in Class 4, who will probably waive his dependant exemptions soon and
 join the colors. Irwin and Hughfe, her two remaining sons. are in the re- cent draft, and will no doubt soon be
 in the service, so it seems that this
 Mother in Israeli is entitled to some of the honors?
 So when you cast up the honors
 which comes to patriotic forbears, don't forget the name of Phillips. They have contributed theirs. They, also are on the glory list.

GERMAN PEOPLE PROTEST.
British Bombing Offensive, Causes Peo-
pie to Cry Out Against 1t.

LONDON, Aug. l6.-One of the most

ing offensive of the British is the loud
response it has elected from the German
people, say British newspapers
The bombing Of England brought no
complaint, but only renewed resolution
from the British people; yet Germany.
suffering from the first preliminary pangs
of the British attacks, at once began to
cry out against it, and protest upon
rotest is pouring into the German au-
thorities from the populace of the differ
ent areas attacked
This means that the British bombing
offensive is effective, that far-reaching
destruction has been caused to railway
functions and factories. and that the Ger
man claim that British raids have ac-
complished nothing serious have been
untrue
Details of the damage caused bv the
British raids can easily be suppressed

DAUGHTERS OF 1912 MEET.
Local Chapter to Gather at Home of
Mrs Dowley Monday Afternoon

General Andrew jackson chapter. No.
|, 7. S. p. 1912. will meet at the home
of Mrs. George S. Dowley Monday aft
ernoon, Aug. 10, from 3 to ) o clock.
This meeting is in commemoration of
the capture of the Guerrero bv the
frigate Constitution. There were five
important naval battles in this war. in
every one of which the Americans were
victorious.
Mrs Charles H Reade of South Hero.
VT, the state president, will be the
guest of honor. Mrs. Reade is the
granddaughter of Commodore MaeDon-
oagh, of whom MeMasters in his his
tory says: 9 The fight in Plattsburg hay
was undoubtedly the greatest naval bat
tie of the war and the victory stamped
MaeDOnough as the ablest captain pro-
duced down to the Rebellion. y The
battles of Plattsburg and Lake Cham
plain took place Sept. II. 1914
One of the local members, Mrs. Frank
X. Dye, Is granddaughter of Commo-
dore Wadsworth, who was second lieu
tenant on the frigate Constitution at
the time of the engagement. She has
many interesting facts to tell in re-
gard to this battle.
The gallant Constitution. or s.Old
lronsides as she was affectionately
called, was generally considered a lucky
ship, and when it was rumored that she
was to be broken up as .s.unfit for serv-
ice, Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote the
familiar poem entitled Old Ironsides.

Soldiers from Persia Take
Over a Part of the De-
lenses of Baku
IN POSITION TO
HELP RUSSIANS
Hope to Be Able to Cut Off Enemv
from Outlet to the Sea, Thus Pro
tecting the Important Oil Fields of
the Baku District.


WASHINGTON, Aug. ia British
force from northwestern Persia has
reached the Caspian sea and taken over
part of the defenses of Baku. saws a
despatch from London.
Arrival of British troops at Baku is
considered at Washington as highly i'm
portant because it opens way in that
part of the world for allied aid to
Czeeho-Slovaks and loyal Russians.
Some weeks ago a body of British sol
diers succeeded in pushing from
Mesapotamia through to Resht. Ships
were acquired at Enzeli, the seaport of
Recht, and it no doubt is this force that
has reached Baku.
Movements from Baku to country
controlled by the Don Cossacks offers
Few practical difficulties. Providipg
fhe Georgians are friendly, as it is be-
ileVed they are, in spite of the fact
that Georgia made a. separate peace
with the central powers, the British
force can reach Darrell pass, which is
the easiest route northward. From
that point on, with the exception of a
few small hostile Mohammedan hill
tribes in northwestern Caucasia. the diff
ficulties in reaching the land of the Don
Cossacks are so small as to be neg
hgible. A railroad line runs by this
route from Baku, but the condition of
that road is not known at Washington.
Whether the allies will be able 10
hold Baku permanently, in view of the
difficulties of transporting supplies. is
too early to predict. However, if the
British can hold their position a short
time longer, which now seems likely.
they probably viii be able to cut off
the enemy from an outlet to the sea.
thus protecting the important oil fields
of the Baku district.
1t appears from the meager informa-
ton at hand in London that the British
detachment voyaged by steamer from
Enzelli, Persia, to Baku, demonstrating
that the allied hold on the Caspian sea !,
already is fairly established The al
he'd naval forces now undoubtedly will
endeavor to make secure their communi-
cations and, once this task is accom-
phshed there will be hardly POSSIBLE
ty of the central powers gaining pos
session of the Baku oil fields.
The brief adviees received at Lon
don indicated that the Russian. Gen.
Dokuchaieff, was commanding at Baku.
The British advance through Persia
from Bagdad was accomplished under
the greatest difficulties. In the noun
famous sections they were resisted bv
a few groups of tribesmen. but they
quickly overcame this opposition The
