ARTILLERY DUEL
AGAINST rs ENEMY
Surprise Attack Upon Germans on
A:iago Plateau Has Con-
.,s siderable Force.
UNREST AMONG WoRKMEN
Kaiser Admits to Reichstag He
Enters Upon ." Serious and
Decisive Year,
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Italy has furnished military sur
prise by launching an attack of ap
parently considerable force on her
mountain front in mid-winter. The
blow comes on the Asiago plateau
where the Austro-German invaders
were halted early In the winter In
their efforts to push down to the Ital'
ian plains, west of the Brenta river.
Berlin heralded the attack yester.
day in reporting the breaking out of
violent artillery duel in the Setti'
Communi region--the Asiago sector.
It's force was reported to have reach
ed a climax at dawn on Monday In
the vicinity Of Col Del Rosso, which
height stands about midway between
Asiago and the Brenta,
News Lacking.
In the lack of more definite news,
the probability suggests itself that the
Italian effort is one somewhat simi.
lar to the French few weeks ago
east of the Brenta which resulted in
penetration of the AustrO-G German
line for a considerable distance. and
the subsequent withdrawal Of the en-.
emy from a rather extended area.
Working People Reckless. ~,
Unrest among the working people OF
Germany has not yet quieted down,
nor has the political conflict between
the Pan.Germans and the Non.Mili-
tarists lessened appreciably. Concern
over the internal security of the en-
pire appears in the message sent by
Emperor William in his answer to
birthday congratulations from the
reichstag.
- To President Kempf the emperor
expressed "his ardent daily wish" that
the G erma1f Deopie may preserve their
union until "the final victory OF our
arms" The emperor declares he en-
ters upon a serious and decisive
year." -.
The reichstag, however, is reported
to have refused to vote confidence In
the government mainly through social
ist opposition and Chancellor Won
Hertling may appear before it again in
a few days to discuss the question OF
Relgium. Efforts to agitate general
strike in Berlin Monday are reported
to have failed, according to- reports
reaching Amsterdam.
The representatives Of Italy and
Great Britain on the supreme war
council have arrived in Paris where
the French and American representa-
tives already are for the plenary sit
ting of the council.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 29.-This
warning by the United States depart
ment OF agriculture is being sent 70
the farmers of number OF state for
which a serious scarcity of seed corn
for spring planting has been noted.
These states include, in whole or part.
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mich
igan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota
and South Dakota.
Little corn of the 1916 crop is avail
able and adapted seed can not be had
from other sections. In this emer-
gency the seed Stocks Committee of
the United States department of agri-
culture urges farmers not to overlook
any possible source of supply. It
points out that on many farms in the
state where seed corn is scarce, it is
sti', nossihlp to find some sound ears
which should be saved for seed. In
some cases, however, this sound corn
is being fed because the owners do
not realize it's value nor the need for
it. They have been accustomed to
planting much better corn and have
not stopped to consider that every
bushel of seed corn they feed now
would, if planted, produce hundred
or even two hundred bushels next
year.
