ram tactics in the mountain section.
The Austrians have engaged in Wig
orous actions against the new Italian
line in the Frenzela and Bella valleys,
where important positions were wrest-
ed from the Austrians a short time
ago. The enemy preceded his infantry
attack by violent bombardments but
when the Austrian infantrymen at
tempted to press forward, they came
under the fire Of Italian light and me.
dunn artillery and machine guns,
which compelled them to beat re-
treat with enormous losses before
even reaching the Italian trenches.
The Austrians met another and
equally severe check in the Frenzela
valley yesterday.
In the course Of this fighting Lieu

down two enemy airplanes.

CHANGES CAUSE
MUCH TROUBLE
ALTERATIONS IN RULES FOR
cREDlTING ENLIsTMENTs
MIKES UP QUOTA

Just how many men will be sent
from Wapello county to Camp Dodge
February %, to complete the first
quota is not definitely known. Changes
in the regulations seem to have
mixed things up considerably and
whether the thirty-one men needed to
complete the first quota will be sent
or il any will be sent at all is not
known.
Several days ago Auditor Bissell of
the local exemption board received
credit from Des- Moines for Ave men
Today credit for five more men was
received which cuts the number to be
sent February %. to twenty-one.
CREDITS NOT ALL IN
Credits for the men who have en-.
listed or who have been voluntarily
indicted into the service have not all
been returned and whether their pa
pers will reach here in time to cut
down the number of men for Febru-
airy %, can not be said.
Thirty men have been indicted into
the service but credit has only been
given for ten. The local board intends
to send twenty-one men to Camp
Dodge. unless orders to the contrary
are received
CHANGE CAUSES TROUBLE
Since February 10, the credits have
been listed at Washington, D. c., In
stead Of at Camp Dodge. This change
means a delay and 1t is quite probable
that Wapello county viii not get credit
in time to delay the sending of the next
group of men.
So far no credit has been givenlfor
the men enlisted since June l. Credit
has been given for the men who have
been voluntarily indicted recently and
why the enlisted men have not been
applied to the county's credit is not
known by the local board.

ORDERS STOP
SALEOF HENS
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR RULES
AGAINST CHICKEN TRAFFIC
UNTIL APRIL 80.

Chickens will almost disappear from
tables throughout the United States
because of a recent order issued by
Herbert Hoover, United States food
administrator.
Meatless days have caused a great
consumption of chickens so an order
has been issued which is now in effect
that forbids the purchase and sale
of hens and pullets until April 30.
J Nearly 80 per cent of the poultry on
the market is of the noncrowing vari-
ETY. and the idea Is that by saving the
hens until April 80 the stock of hens
will be larger than ever before and
Uncle Sam wants the country to use
eggs and chickens. in place of other
foods. The local wholesale houses
have received notice of the order and
are not buying any more hens. A
limited time has been granted for the
dealers to dispose of the stock now
on hand.

ONE PRINCIPAL ATTACK

Paris, Feb. 14.-Every indication
seems to point that the central en-
pres offensive is on the eve of break
ing out. Much has been said and writ
ten here how and where the attack
would start, and it is thought that
there will be one principal attack with
the intention of breaking through the
lines at any cost
This attack possibly will be followed
up by two or three minor ones, to en-.
able the attacking troops to organize
the conquered ground, for the Ger.
mans, it appears, have made all prep
arations to occupy and consolidate
parts of the allies line.
ALLIES ON GUARD
But the French and British troops
are constantly on the watch, and
every day the Germans delay starting
the. attack means heavier task, &C
companied by huge losses.
By this way Of attacking the Franco
British lines it is presumed that the
whole front from the sea to the Swiss
border will be active with many heavy
fights. Such a thing has not yet oc-
Cured in nearly four years Of war.
