Italy's Contribution
To Foch's Reserves
Nearly Quarter Million Men
Now on West Front Being
Steadily Strengthened.

Washington, May 10.-Italy's con-
tribution to the reserve army Gen.
Foch is building up behind the lines
in France for supreme emergency
uses numbers nearly a quarter of a
million men, official dispatches today
say, and the force is being strengthen
ed steadily.
Another dispatch quotes a state
ment made by Premier Orlando upon
his return from France, where he at
tended inter-allied war council.
II have conversed with the high
est military commanders of the enten-
te armies" said the premier, "and
while taking into consideration the
possible surprises and fluctuations of
the war, they express full confidence
that the Germans will not reach their
essential strategic objectives. Gen.
Foch has, in common with the great
commanders, the pewr of drawing
fresh strength from difficulties, and
to maintain his energy in proportion
to the danger.
"The questions arising from Italy's
participation in the recent military
agreement was discussed and import
ant decisions reached. / cannot give
important particulars about this, but
l can state that in this respect Italy
remains part of the military and po-
litical union of the entente nations,
which grows more firm and more in
innate with the growth of the danger
and with the Importance of our de-
cisions. One fact is now established
that the conference of Abbeville rec
Ognized a united front from the north
sea to the Ariatie, not only as an ab-
stract aspiration, but as an effective
reality

bands his head was held up toward
the sun. For ten hours he remained
in this position, his face blistering
under the heat of the sun. Then, his
eyes almost burned out of his head,
he was taken down. Another form
of punishment consisted in placing a
man with chest barred in the open
to face the sun or, when there was
no sun, in small room in which was
red-hot stove. When the perspi-
ration was streaming down his body,
the Germans who had gathered were
invited to throw buckets of icy water
on his overheated body. The length
of this punishment varied from six
to twelve hours, according to the Of
Tense.
These prisoners came back to
France by way of Switzerland, where
they received hearty welcome and
where every care and attention was
given them by French doctors and
nurses. It was in Geneva, for the
first time in three years, they heard
the strains of the Marseillaise, and
many Of them wept bitterly as they
listened.

gian coast.
The British navy's highly difficult
accomplishments, has in fact, turned
the tables not only ON the German
navy, but also on Won Hindenburg
himself.
The principal objectives of Won Hin
denburg's present offensive are the
capture of Dunkirk, Calais and Bou-
logne. One Of the reasons why Won
Hindenburg wants these ports is to
make them available as German sub
marine harbors.
Instead Of winning theseobjectives
Germany now finds heself under the
necessity even of relinquishing The
free use of Belgian ports, wiar an in
evitably serious curtailment of the eff
fectiveness of her submarines.

chard is a part. was carried by Gov.
Milliken by 5000 majority.
The Democrats during the campaign
also laid stress on the fact that the peo-
pie should vote for the nominees of their
party as an Endorsement of the conduct
Of the war by President Wilson. On
the other hand. Republicans contended
that Gov. Milllken and the members OF
the Maine delegation at Washington
worked hand in hand with the Admins
tration in the prosecution OF the war and
that the Congressman voted on the side
OF the President on every occasion when
n war measure was under consideration.
