Holding the lines intact along
virtually all the ninety -mile-front
from tho Adriatic and the Asiaso
pIateaus, the Italian and allied
armies appear to have given the
Austrian armies a serious setback.
Approximately 100000 Aus
trians have been hurled against
the Italian front but have gained
little except along tho Piave river,
where their progress appears to be
too slow to be threatening.
Losses described as frightfuI
have been inflicted upon the Aus
trians. In the mountainous coun-
try where the British have been
holding their positions soIidIy
thousands Of the enemy have per-
ished; while they have paid
heavily for every foot they have
advanced along the Piave river
front.
In tho MonteIIo area on the up
per Piave the Austrians seem to
have gained a foothold on the west
bank Of the river north Of Zensons
Loop, and at capo Sile, lower
down, they also have moved west
ward, but their greatest gain does
not exSeed two or three miles.
Tho Vital mountain sasetor along
tho upper. reaches Of the Brenta
has not been broken. On tho con-
trary the British claim to have do
feated the foe. Az long as this
front holds firmly, according to
military experts, tho stability Of
the Italian line is assured unless
serious breach should be made
along the Piave river east of Tre-
viso and MontebeIIuna.
There are hints of counter Of
fensive in reports from Italy.
The success of the Italians two
weeks ago in the mountainous
country to the west Of Lake Garda
and the evident concern Of the
Austrian command over an ad-
vance there may indicate that it
the Italians strike back Il may be
along this part Of the front. A sue
cess there would isolate the Aus
trian forces fighting east Of Lake
Garda and turn the right flank Of
the enemy armies.

 "Refreshments!' came the magic word With small boys and with , soldiers it is always time to eat and the .00 American soldiers were en- tirely natural again, as they walked briskly down the marble hall to- ward the snowy table. About four feet from their goal the front line halted and blushed red. They had seen eouI severe looking buffers be-. hind the table. The front rank tried to back thru into the second line, whicL stood it's ground with the de- termlnation of alarm. There were the little cakes and the heaped up plates of ice cream, and there were the men; but between the two an impossible gulf seemed fixed.
 Come on, boys!' urged the host ess. What will you have?" she ad- ded to one of them. He turned red and seemed unable to say word, he couldn't even point, as he might have done when he was younger. How ever his silence was interpreted as an order for Roman punch, and sev- eral delectable small cakes, which his hostess herself put into his hand. That broke the spell, and the four buffers began to learn something new about hungry American crowd.
 Not that they didn't all remember their manners. you understand. Each man was most polite and deliberate. He tried to take his cakes as if he didn't much care whether he had them or not, but he took his hostess at her word and piled his plate high. It was his first party in Paris. and he wasn't just sure when he could go to another Meanwhile the ice melted with the ice cream, and the American soldiers told jokes and laughed at them as heartily as they might have done in HOboken flat. Afterwards there was more music, then a reluctant good bye to the hostess, a rush for the subway, and the party was over. Not really over, either. It still lives in the stories of the "swellest party in Paris which are being carried to the uttermost confines of American soldiers camps in France.

U. s. STEAMER FIRED
 ON U. 5. DESTROYER
WARSHlP WAS TAKEN FOR SUB- MARINE IN THE HAZE-ONE IS KILLED AND THREE ARE HURT ADMIRAL SIMS INVESTIGATE.

Washington, March 16-Investiga- tion by a naval court of inquiry, ordered today revealed that last month one man was killed and three wounded on an American destroyer accidently fired upon by an armed merchant ship.
 The report of the armed guard on duty on the steamer was received at the navy department today.
 The name of the man who was killed was announced by the depart ment at the time of the incident, when it was stated his death was due to an accident.
 It is reported that the merchant ship was one of the American Line steamers. Her guard fired on the destroyer, it is understood, thinking the warship was a German sub- marine. There was a haze over the sea at the time.
 Official reports on the accident made by the destroyer's commander and by the captain of the steamer were submitted to Vice Admiral Sims. It is probably that the court of in quiry will sit at the headquarters of Admiral Sims. The first public hint of the affair received here came to- day with the receipt by mail of copy of the report made by the petty officer in charge of the armed guard, a member of which landed at an Atlantic port yesterday.

sWELLEsT PARTY IN PARIS

Paris, February 1.-Two hundred American soldiers advanced as primly as small boys on their way to danc- ing school
 Past the pink marble facades, and through a gorgeous wrought iron gate, the double link of khaki edged it's way cautiously. Through the me- dium of the Y M. c. A. the men were about to be entertained by one of the wealthiest women in Paris, an American who had married abroad. The house was like nothing they had ever seen before, and it's gran deur rather scared them.
 "Hoboken was never like this, whispered Private Smith" and some one else started to whistle under his breath, "I dreamt-t l Dwelt in Marble Halls'' One of the informed announced that the house was d perfect model of the Petit-Trianon, pfonouncing the word as 1t was spelled, with middle-western accent, None contradicted him.
 They filed through the imposing door and came safely out of their en- counter with the butler in livery, in the great stairway. Some. of them slipped and skated precariously as they hurried up the great red marble stairway and one whispered resent fully that the blamed stairs was waxed. Others eyed the gold walls and magnificent pictures, and appear ed to be wondering what they should say to their hostess.
 Before they knew it they were in the music room, and Private Jones was wishing that the folks back home could see him now. The ceiling was high and vaulted, and concealed electric lights threw soft glow upon it from gilded ceiling. Scores of wax candles glittered amidst the crystal bangles of thin glass cande. labras, the only visible lights in the room On the walls were heavy bas-reliefs and a life size bronze statue stood in the corner. It was a very swell party, all right.
 They forgot what it was they had meant to say to their hostess when they saw her standing at the door of the music room. No natter! She was shaking hands with each one and smiling at him in way that re minded him of his mother at home Another woman at the piano singing song they knew, song they had sung back home.
