NEW ITALIAN LINE
VIGOROUSLY ASSAULTED

Rome, Feb. 13.-Although the
Austrian press in the last few weeks
has been referring to preparations
for an offensive which they say the
Italians are making as justification
for the assertion that it is impossi-
BILE TO withdraw either men or guns
to help Germany in France. the Aus
trian commander apparently wishes
to bring an end to the period of in
activity. He is resuming his batter
ing ram tactics in the mountain sec
tion.
In the last three days the Austrians
have engaged in vigorous actions
against the new Italian line in the
Frenzela and Bella valleys where i'm
:Sortant positions were wrested from
the Austrians a short time ago. The
enemy preceded his attacks by vio-
lent bombardments, but when the
Austrian infantrymen attempted to
press forward as they did in the Bella
valley By advancing into the Selle
and Vallette woods, they came under
the fire OF the Italian artillery and
machine guns which compelled them
TO beat a retreat with enormous
losses before even reaching the ltal-
ian trenches.
The Austrians met with another
and equally severe check in the
Frenzela valley yesterday.
In the course of this fighting,
Lieutenant Rama, an aviator,
brought down two enemy airplanes,
increasing the number of his victor
les in aerial encounters to 10.

Believed Visit Has to Do
With Plan Cleaning Up
Subs in Mediterranean.
NAVAL ASSAULT
ON POLA PLANNED
Reports of Such Drive, How
ever, Meet With Cold
!. Reception.
Associated Press.

Washington. Feb. 14.-The pres
ence of Vice Admiral Sims at Rome
is regarded here as not having to do
with any proposed assault on the
Austrian naval base at Pola on the
Adriatic as has been stated in some
published reports, but to be more
likely connected with plans for
cleaning up the submarines in the
Mediterranean.
Naturally navy officials here are
not discussing such plans as they
may know of, but the suggestion that
naval drive on Pola is in contem-
The Austrian base is well located
and flanked by land defenses of the
strongest character.
1t is very doubtful that a proposal
to storm these defenses from the sea
without land support would be IA
vored by any power.
There seems no doubt, however,
that Admiral Sims visit to Rome was
connected directly with plans mapped
out by the naval section of the su-
preme war council. 1t is certain that
a definite part in whatever is In
prospect has been reserved for the
American naval forces.
One chief object sought by any
plan that may have been laid by the
naval strategists necessarily is the
elimination of the submarine in the
Mediterranean. The U-boats, most
of them German built and manned,
have exacted heavy toll in these
waters.
In a general way naval opinion
here appears to favor a bottling up
campaign against submarines in the
Adriatic rather than assault by sea
on the bases.

American batteries referred to in the
French official report evidently are
some of those undergoing this in

as the German third line. The

and flames spread so rapidly it was
impossible TO save them all. None of
the soldiers suffered injury, although
two hundred were quartered in the
building.

BODY OF HAYES

PROVES THEORY OF SUICIDE
Identification Is Made Possible
Only Through Jeweiry Found
on the Remains.

The body of James T Hayes, for
mer Davenport baseball magnate
and vice president of the Three
Eye league, who has been missing
since Nov. 81. 1917. was found at
$3.50 yesterday afternoon at the
foot of Division street, in Daven-
port. floating in the river.
His body was badly decomposed
having been in the water for so
long a period. He was buried one
hour later. Through a watch, a
pair Of cuff buttons and a ring still
on his person, identification was
made possible. The features were
not recognizable. The finding ends
a long search conducted over the
entire country. Mr.. Hayes family
has traced many clews in the hope
of locating him. II was believed for
a time that he was in the state of
Washington, a man having been
seen there resembling Hayes. This
was later found to be erroneous.
His disappearance was the sub
ject of much concern and anxiety
in tri-city circles for a long time
after he was missed. The belief of
those who knew him is that he COM
mitted suicide as the jewelry still
found OH his person contradicts the
theory of foul play.
