Evening Summary

ROME. June 21-A summary made last evening says the outward en- reaches attempted by the Austrian offensive failed all along the line.

South and East of AsiagO, the French and Italians have retaken Pennar, Bertigo and Costolunga and captured 200 Austrians.

AFTERNOON SUMMARY, June 21

AFTERNOON SUMMARY, June ~. The stout Italian resistance has stopped the Austrian efforts to ex- tend their front on MentceiIo Plat eau, which is the keystone of the Italian defenses. There are heavy rains in the mountains. These may add to the torrent in the Piave which already has washed out many bidues. With flooded rivers behind them, the Italians are attempting to wipe out or capture the Austrians who crossed the Piave.
 ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS, June 21.-The second phase of the Aus trian offensive is featured by at tacks to the right and left of Val stagna. Attacks on the Bretna riv CT and in the mountain districts should logically begin soon, now that the Austrian efforts against the Piaye river have failed
 It is felt that if the Austrians do not renew their efforts and try and pentrate to the plains, it would be an acknowledgment of defeat and inability to carry out the ambitious plan launched a week ago. FsRfS

WAR WILL NOT LIMIT
SIZE OF FAIR CROWDS

Oklahoma Cit, Okla. Aug. 2S.-
"Won the war affect the attend
ance at the Oklahoma State Fair
and Exposition this year,
This question is asked OF state fair
officials scores of times week.
"The draft is taking thousands of
young men from the state; a certain
amount OF stay-at home sentiment is
created by war conditions-won't all
these factors tend to limit the size OF
your crowds p continues the ques-
toner.
The answer to all such questions
is, mo"
Provided good weather is exper-
fenced from September Il to 2S-
the dates of the Oklahoma State Fair
and Exposition-the largest crowds
in its history are expected to con-
gregate within its gates. Numerous
factors are responsible for this pre-
diction.
In the first place, the government
has granted excursion rates of four
and one-half cents per mile for
round-trip tickets to the Oklahoma
State Fair and Exposition. This will
make travel to and from Oklahoma
City during state fair week practical
ly as cheap as it ever was. In the sec
ond place, the official government
exhibits. containing as they do speci-
mems of every weapon America is
using against the Hun, are expected
to prove a great attraction. And i'll
the third place. Oklahoma people
need the relaxation, amusement and
instruction which only the state fair
can provide, more than ever before.
The experience of Canadian provinc-
ial fairs and American state fairs
already held this year is convincing.
Every Canadian agricultural expo
sition, from Toronto to Winnipeg
entertained more people this year
than at any time in their history. And
this after Canada has been in the
great war four years.
Without exception, American
state fairs have had the same expert
ence. The state fair at Fargo, N. d.,
and Sedalia. Mo-. which has just
closed its 1918 exposition, report the
greatest attendance since their estab-
lishment. Even the smaller district
and county fairs are reporting sim
liar conditions.
These facts, combined with the ex-
traordinary excellence of every ex-
hibit and amusement which the Ok
lahoma state fair and exposition has
to offer lead its officers to look most
optimistically upon the outlook for
the week of September 2l-2S.

JapaneseAnmy andNauySoon
Is To Be Largely Increased

TOXIC, July 2S.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press.)-
Japan has made preliminary plans
to increase her army by fifty percent
and to build three times the number
OF dreadnaughts and battle-cruisers
previously planned.
No official announcement was
made but, it is understood that the
project adopted at recent confer
encc of field marshals and fleetad-
mirals includes the creation of an
army of 81 corps, or AZ divisions and
the enlargement of the navy so that
it will eventually include three main
fleets, each to consist of eight dread
noughts and eight battle cruisers.
Each of the new army divisions will
be composed of three regiments, in
stead of four, as at present.
Years will be required to develop
the army and navy to the desired
strength, but beginning will be
made cs soon as conditions, especial
ly financial conditions, will permit
Under the new military program,
Japan would have l26 regiments, as
against the present "a, there being
now in existence 2l divisions, each
of four regiments. An increase OF
AZ regiments is provided for.
OF this increase. four new divis-
ions are covered by the army pro-
gram laid down in 1906 when it was
decided to increase the number OF
divisions to rs, or total strength
of 100 regiments. This program has
not yet been carried into effect.
Writers on military matters esti-
mate that the new plan contemplates
an eventual enlargement of the
japanese army by fifty percent
above its present strength with a
corresponding enlargement of the
reserves due to the great numbers
passed through the service each
year. Many think the expansion will
be easy from the standpoint OF
man-power.,
The naval program adopted at
the last session of the Diet was TO
fill out fleet of eight dreadnoughts
and six battle-cruisers. The new
naval proposal therefore means that
Japan plans to build two squadrons
each to be composed of eight dread
noughts and eight battle cruisers,
and two additional cruisers to fill
out the present battle cruiser fleet.
In other words, the construction
project called for sixteen additional
dreadnaughts and eighteen more
battle cruisers.
The estimated expenditure in
volved is large. That for the army
is placed at about $S7, 10000, and
that of the navy at about $54O,OOO,-
600. 1t is probable that the actual
costs would be much higher as the
estimates mentioned above are based
upon figures worked out before the
war when prices were lower.
