June 22.--CBy the Associated Press.)-The second week of the great battle on the Italian front opens with the outstand- ing fact that the, Austrians are unable to go forward. Notwithstanding seven days of desperate struggling in an at tempt to strengthen their foothold on this side of the Piave river, particularly on the Montello and at San Dona di Piave, the enemy forces have been held. Italian military observers consider that the invaders position is such that he must abandon his attempt to obtain pos session of both banks of the Piave, just as he was compelled to do last winter.
 At present the AuStrians on this side of the Piave are fighting mainly with ma chine guns, rifles and bayofiets as they have been unable to bring heavy artil- lery across. They, therefore, are reduced to fighting for few hundred yards of ground, where the situation always is precarious to them because of the flooded river to their rear. The Austrians have been for days on the defen sive. the last Italian counter attacks having given the defenders the initiative.
 In regard to the losses during the first week of the great offensive, the Italian military authorities say that each side suffered approximately an equal number of casualties. The Austrians claim that reports found in possession of prisoners were that the Italians had sutained much greater losses.

Furnace Men Must Have
 More to Offset Higher Rate

Montgorery. June 2a.-S. P Gaillard member of the Alabama public service commission. today announced that It would be necessary for the iron producers of the state to materially increase their prices, due to the heavy increase in freight rates. An advance of 25 per cent under order No. 2S is to De met. plus second increase under this order. which was abridged largely following strenuous protests from states having their own intrastate schedules, but which did nos include iron ore and coal.
 At conference with iron furnace men in the Birmingham district MT. Ganlard was informed that the loss to one large company alone, each year. would be $1o0o, 900 on account of the rate increases. which will have to be met by advancing ther ates on iron and its. products.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-06-23

The communication sets forth again the objectives which the Austrians had fixed for their advance and points out that the idea that these obiectives could be won was due to the strange conviction of the commanding generals that the Italians would not fight.
 tsThe only result obtained" continues the statement, twas the disruption of 15 of their divisions in exchange for the advance on the Italian lines at Gina di Rosso, whereas another 20 divisions barely gained two and half miles upon Montello and the same distance at San Dona. for which they paid a terrible price.
 -The poison gas attack by the Aus trians has been a complete failure. On one small sector 800 enemy shells con tanning gas were exploded, but caused no discomfort or panic among the Ital- fans. The mountain winds quickly car ried away the gas, it's only evidence re- ndaining in the discoloration of vegeta- don. Several of those poisonous shells exploded on the side of Monte Grappa and damaged an American Red Cross house built there in q space known To- calfy as Wilson Square,
