Former Austrian Attempt

The last great Austro-German of fensive, undertaken with the object of crushing Italy, began in October, 1917, and rolled back General Ca dorna's line from the Isonzo front and along the Venetian plain More than a million enemy troops participated, and it was not for many weeks that the Italians were able to stay their advance.
 About the middle of November the Piave battle began along a ninety-mile front, and French and British troops were hurried to reinforce the shaken Italian line.
 The crisis passed December 1, since which time the Italians have been pre- pared for the blow now being struck.

The Boring River coal field is the of develop ment and thus is Cordova's dream of great industrial future about to be realized For the past years every effort has been made to induce the government to allow this large fuel to be opened up, and lease has finally been granted to the St. Elias Oil Company of which Falcon Josin and George C. Hazeet the prime The ground secured includes part of the hold ings of the old English company, Carbon creek and embraces what is believed to be the best veins of coal for all purposes The work of developing the property will immediately start and if the results sasfac tory the surface indications show the coal will be mined extensive scale and branch railroad will be built from Mile 39 to the field in order to transport it to Cordova where coal bunkers will be built and in all probability a smelter installed.
 One of the original objects in building the Copper River & Northwestern railway was to tap the Berng River coal feld which later withdrawn from entry and that resource developed With the granting of lease to ground that is believed to contain fine quality of coal, the future of Cordova never looked brighter. ~

ASKS SQUARE DEAL
FOR SOLDIERS WHO
RETURN FROM WAR

Claveland.-What is the United
States going to do with the soldiers
who come back from European battle
fields?
The question is being asked Of
American business men by Mai. Ross
c. Cockburn of the Canadian army,
who addressed the Cleveland Rotary
club.
BRASS bands, banquet and God
speeds to the departing troops be-
come hollow mockery if the men re-
turn to find their jobs filed and busi-
ness men lukewarm in their disposi-
ton to find places for the soldiers"
Maj. Cockburn said.
Moreover, it is not enough for
business men to offer the returned SOL
der any kind of a job. Great Britain
and Canada has exploded the fallacy
that returned soldiers, because of the
break war makes in their lives, are
less efficient and less Industrious than
those not called on to face the hard
ships of active service.
Recently in Toronto we tried to find
| work for returned Canadian soldier.
A grateful community offered him a
job sweeping the streets.
Imagine, if you can, anyone with
a spark of real patriotism telling a
man who for two years has carried
his life in his hands and endured in
! describable hardships in order to pre-
serve the safety and prosperity of the
| people back home that if he chooses
! he may sweep his city's streets!"

SMALLPOX Hits Record.

Smallpox was more
prevalent in Ohio in December than
in any month of the five years on rec
ord with the state department Of
health, according to an announcement
oy the department.
A total of 1850 cases were reported
last month. The highest total pre-
viously on record was 9S3 in January,
1914. Ordinarily the January total
runs higher than the December, the
department states.
The years total for 1917 was 5,142
cases, which also is a record. Shelby
county continued to lead with the
largest number of cases-95. This,
however, was big reduction for the
county over November, when $50
cases were reported.

Gas Fumes Overcome rs.

Youngstown.-Twe persons
were overcome by the fumes of an au-
tomobile engine while returning from
Sharon, Pa, where they attended a
party. Because of the cold the truck
in which the merry makers were rid
ing was enclosed tightly and there
was little ventilation.
A number of passengers in the ma
chine complained of not feeling well,
and when a stop was made near Hub
bard and the sides removed, the en-
tire party was overcome.
Doctors were summoned and
worked over the victims several hours
before pronouncing them out of dan
ger. They were later removed to
their homes in Youngstown.

TAKES GIRL FROM RIVAL
West Virginian Enforces Demand at
Point of UnIoaded Gun in Wild
West Manner.

Kingweod, W. Va.-Taking his girl
out of an automobile from the hands
of his rival at the point of a gun and
taking her in his own machine was
the wild West stunt performed by Lee
Brown of Howesville, near here. Later
Brown was arrested and fined by Mag
istrate w. M. Murdoch for carrying
concealed weapons.
The girl was Miss Anna Howard,
with whom Brown had an appoint
ment to go driving. Instead, she went
out with Hunter PERIL and another
couple. Brown encountered the party
on the road and swinging his own ma
chine across the road and blocking it
he pulled an old revolver, which was
not loaded. He demanded the surren-
der of his girl, who got out and clam
bered aboard Browns machine and to-
gether they drove off.

Doino Thincs Well

that whatever was worth doing at all
was worth doing well, cites the Mil
waukee Evening Wisconsin. The pres
ent generation SCOTS at such an old
fashioned idea and proceeds to get
thrc ugh with the least possible effort.
"Why waste time on correcting mis-
takcs?" they ask. ''If they pass un-
noticed so much the better, but there
is always the strength to endure criti-
cism and fault-finding" In fact, the
present generation seems surprisingly
deficient in fine feelings since nothing
is done to avoid unpleasantness.

AGED MAN DIGS OWN GRAVE
Falls Into 1t While Removing the Sup

Taken Out.

Rising City, Neb.-It is rarely that a
man digs his own grave and more rare
ly that he is doomed to occupy it as
soon as it is dug. Yet Frank Krenk Of
Able, Neb., did both.
Krenk, who was seventy-fve, accom-
panied by his son-in-Iaw, Joseph Bar
cal, had just completed digging the
grave in the National cemetery here
when the accident happened. Krenk,
wishing his body to be buried deep at
his death, had dug the grave to a
depth Of more than ten feet. In re-
moving the supports Krenk fell into
the grave head foremost, breaking his
neck.
He was dead when taken out. He
was buried in the grave he had taken
so much pains to prepare.
