Italian Army Headquarters, June 49,
approximately 100000 Austrians
have been hurled againet the Italian
front. Losses which are described as
frightful have been inflicted upon the
Auctrlans in the areas where tue prin-
cipal fighting has taken place. But
the Austrian pincers are not closing
upon Italy with the precision of last
October, when they forced back the
Italian armies OF Gen. Cadorna from
the Julian Alps to the Piave river,
and from the northern mountain re-
gions almost to the plains OF venetia.
In fact. they do not seem to be clos
ing at all. The upper jaw In the We
netian Alps Is stalled under the re-
sistance of the British. French and
Italian forces, and the neither one
seems to lack the force necessary to
bring 1t across the Piave river and
push back the Italian troops which
are clogging it's path.
In the Alps the Austrians have been
unable further to advance their lines
since their initial onslaught last week.
Elsewhere from the Asiago plateau
sector eastward to the Piave river all
their attacks have quickly been re-
pulsed by the allied troops, who, in
their turn. have delivered counter at
tacks. regained lost terrain. inflicted
heavy casualties on the enemy and
taken a considerable number of prts-

that the enemy everywhere Is being

sector of the Montello plateau, which
bars the way from the northeast 10
the Venetian plains. the Italians have
strengthened their positions on the
northern edge of the plateau and re-
pulsed two enemy attacks to advance
on the northern border. Likewise to
the south, near Maserda and Candelul.
attempts by the Austrians to effect
new crossings of the Piave were frus-
trated with heavy losses.
The Austrian war office says the
number of prisoners taken in the fight
ing has increased to 10000, and that
100 guns, in addition to mine throwers,
machine guns and war material, have
been captured.
The prisoners taken by the Italians
Monday at one point amounted to l.
$50, which would bring their total and
those OF the allies well in the neigh
borhood of 5000.
Unofficial advices are to the effect
that the Austrians have thrown four
teen bridges across the Piave along a
front of about fourteen and half
miles, between the Zenson loop and
the Conegliano railway bridge, but that
the Italians are heavily engaging the
enemy at all points and have the pom

BROWN AND CRAWFORD
COUNTIES CREATED ONE
HUNDRED YEARS AGO

Madison, Wis.-One hundred wears
ago, on October &c, the first Wiscon-
SIN counties came into existence. The
land OF the Badger State was then a
part of the broad expanse of Michi-
gan Territory, ruled over, at Detroit.
by Lewis Cass, one of the most pic
turesque and forceful men the North
west has ever known. On the date in
dlcated Governor Cass issued an ex-
ecutive proclamation erecting the 8
counties of Michilimackinac, Brown.
and Crawford. The three counties to-
gether included all the territory in the
present state of Wisconsin as we'll as
portions of Michigan and Minnesota.
BY the erection of Wisconsin Territory
in 1886 Michilimackinac disappeared
from Wisconsin. Brown and Craw-
ford remained, however, and still re-
main, although their boundaries are
vastly diminished. Crawford still re-
tains the county seat prairie dU
Chem it had when established one
i hundred years ago. Brown county
was given none at first, but in 1924
the seat of government was fixed a.
Menomoneeville, now included in the
city of Green Bay.
