 General Hummer, commander of the British forces, recently annodnced their establishment in new position in the mountain sector around Asiago, and Gen. eral Diaz's bulletins now refer to the op- erations of the British forces in that mountain region The French too, who made their brilliant stroke in Mount Tofnba, are also in this mountain region.
 It is here that three Austrian armies under Field Marshal Conrad von Hert- zendorff are in position; the Tenth known as the Kraus army. under Gen. eral Kraus.

A|RPLANE RAID ON
 NEW YORK POSSIBLE
London Naval Men Think German Plan Not Wildly
 Improbable

London. June s.-The announcement that the police commissioner of New York had issued instructions to oitl- zens as to their conduct in case hostile air raids are made over the city, has aroused much interest here. Naval men declare that German air raids on New York are not wildly improbable
 TWO years ago 1t was reported that Germany was constructing submarine seaplane carriers and 1t was suggested that one of the airplane raids on th9 British east coast was carried out win the aid of such craft.
 Naval men consider it likely that the Germans obtained their inspiration For such craft from the cooperation be- tween British submarines and afr planes in a raid on cuxhaven about Christmas, 1914. With the coming or the submarine cruiser it Is considered to be no difficult matter to transport seaplane for carrying out raids not on a formidable scale. but on a scale picturesque enough to have distinct psycholo gical value from the point ol view of the German admiralty.

London Times Comments on the New Prize Method Adopted by British

London. June 6."The return of new

 the previous month and this is not the
 only proof of the energy now beng
 thrown into shipbuilding. The accounts
 of new shipyards created where three
 months ago there was nothing but open
 fields is another piece of evidence
 There has also been a great deal of
 enterprise in the extension of existing yards
 'Thsae achievements afford proof that
 the industrial energy of the country is
 not exhausted and has an abundant
 reserve force.
 "Other items of news point to a gen. eral increase of activity in shipbuild- ing, not only here, but in the United States and Canada, an activity which will certainly be stimulated by the new German offensive off the American coast.
 According to the chairmen of the imperial munitions board there is under construction in Canada one-quarter of
 the total merchant tonnage produce by the United Kingdom in 1917, anu | four-fifths of it. will be completed this year. This is a remarkable achievement. for a country in which 10 years ago shipbuildins hardly existed in embryo. All this enterprise will bear fruit in due course and before this time next

 The spirit of emulation which has entered the yards cannot fail to stimu- late production, but it needs drection into the right channel. Opinions differ about the recent rivet-driving compe- tion. 1t is not so much in individual feats of skill and endurance that com petition should be applied, but in the comblned Wofk or the yard, Direct comparison of output in a given period is impractical, because conditions vary
 indefinitely. But this does not ap-
 ply to the test of grit proposed by the Daily Mail, which is offering prizes
 for the highest percentage of time oi work out of possible maximum. This seems to us to be the best suggestion yet made for utilizing the sporting spirit in the yards.

mander. Boroevich, has about IS divi- sions and some reserves. The divisions on the north recently have been strengthened by fresh troops brought from Austris's sections of the Russian and Rumanan fronts, which no longer need her attention.
 This enemy concentration has been going on steadily for months and the Italian and sllieG forces have also made powerful preparations for the coming campaign.
 The main cause for this shifting of at tention from the Place to the mountain line Is of strategic character. The Italian front has two main branches, one running rorthward from the Adriatic at a point 12 miles east of Venice, and the other turning westward across the noun tain regions and running irregulariy up to the Swiss frontier. When the enemy made his lush last fall the first pres sure was felt along the Place as the eAemy swept in from the east. But later. when the Italians threw the enemy into the river at Fagare and Benson and es- tablished solid defense of the river line, the enemy turned his attention to the north and began pressing down from the mountains.
 Most of the enemy forces first brought to the Pias.e line were gradually with drawn to the nlourtain line. Won Below German divisions were among those shifted from the Piave to the mountains. before Won Yellow went to the French front The British re-enforcements. which first took position the upper Piave at Montello, soon observed that the enemy artillery had slackened off to almost nothing, and that the enemy positions on the east bank were apparently de- serted. The British made many raids across the river, but met little opposi- tion, and there was some prospect this would permit an advance by the Italians and their allies eastward into the re- zion invaded by the enemy, but held by thet.l with reduced forces.
 It was evident, however, that the enemys inactivity on the Piave was part of a strategic plan by which his mass ing of forces on the north would not only permit him to make an offensive in the mountain regions, but would also give him a rosition on the Italian left flank in case of an Italian advance across the Piave into the invaded region He was willing therefore to leave the Piave with comparatively light forces, and con- centrate most of his strength in the mountains.

This public utility company is known as cor poration, but in short it is a vast store with a greater number of customers than any other Bir- mingham store.
 As a great organization 1t serves the people of Birmingham not only with trolley service but with electric lights and gas both for Illuminating and cooking and with heating. It is, therefore constantly seeking new customers.
 And knowing that the best way to get new GUS toners and keep them is to treat them right is simply saying over again that this company be- lieves in square deal
 We have always felt that our electric light GUS toners and our gas customers were our trolley customers as we'll and just as every merchant strives to please his regular customers, so have we at all times endeavored to render efficient service and please
 And we have tried to render this service at the lowest possible figure, because that too, is the right way to preserve customers.
 In fact it is this point of view that has brought us to the present dilemma That is, we entered into contract with the city for period of time to carry passengers for 5c. We contracted to do this basing our ability to do so upon pre-war costs. But now with everything costing more for our trolley service we find that can no longer con- tinue the service that you ought to have and that we want to give you
