Meanwhile Allies Pre-
pare for Onslaught
Close at Hand.
SOLDIERS OF ITALY
TAKE COL DELL ORSO
Troops Storm Mountain Position
and Destroy Garrison-French
Recover Territory.

The German armies in France and
Picardy are still inactive. Except for
their artilery wings, which are car
rying out bombardments on various
sectors, they are doing little work
anywhere.
Evidently, the enemy is not yet
prepared to test his strength against
the reinforced lines of the allies, al
though it is still expected that the
day is not far distant when he again
will try to break through. Mean
while, the British and French armies
are letting no opportunity pass to
peck at the Germans where the enc
my front is considered particularly
vulnerable. North of KENNEL the
French have recovered another slice
of territory in sharp fight in which
they came into hand to hand COM
bat with the Germans.
The Germans endeavored to off
set this advantage by an attack
against the French northwest OF
Arvillers-Sorrell, but the defenders
turned their artillery on the enemy
and successfully withstood the at
tack, inficting heavy casualties.
Considerable activity is in pro-
gress in the Italian theater. Between
Asiago and the Brenta River, on the
northern front, the Italians have
stormed Austrian positions at Col
Dell Orso and destroyed the garrison
in hand to hand fighting. At several
other points along the northern
front the Italians have worsted the
enemy in engagements evidently
started with the intention of rectlty-
ing the line. The Austrian emperor
accompanied by his foreign minister
has paid a visit to the Italian front.

STILL TRYING TO FIX
THE PRICE OF WHEAT

Washington, May 11.-Another
futile effort has been made by SEN
ate and house conferees to fix the
price of wheat in the agricultural
bill which has been in conference
for some time. On account of the
absence of Senator Gore, Senator
E. D. Smith, of South Carolina, is
acting chairman of the senate COM
mittee on agriculture, also acting
chairman of the conference COM
mittee. The conferees will meet
again at an early date and endeavor
to agree on q minimum price for
wheat, which is the only serious OBJ
stacle in the way of perfect harmony
regarding this big appropriation
measure.

CAPT. PIERCE LECTURES.

Capt. Pierce, a French officer,
now serving the Allies through the
American Red Cross, will deliver a
lecture at the Opera House in Abb
beville next Saturday, May 18, at
$3.50 P. M. All loyal citizens in the
city and country are invited to at
tend this patriotic exercise. AS
Capt. Pierce is from the people who
at the front are bearing the heavi-
est burdens of the world-war, his
talk in the interest of the Red
Cross should be of special interest
to Americans.

Action Deferred Until
Army Becomes Pow
, erful Force.
ENTENTE WAITING TO be
REINFORCED BY AMERICANS
French and British Able to Meet
With Strategy Onslaughts of
Enemy.

Ottawa, May 12.-Convinced that
the allies can withstand any drive
the Germans can launch, it has been
decided not to use the American
army until it becomes a. complete
and powerful force, according to a
cable summary of operations on the
western front received here tonight
from the war committee of the Brit
ish cabinet. e
"The position now is," said the
summary, "that the Germans are
draining their country dry to force
a decision before it is too late,
while the entente are so confident
that, having been given the choice
of small immediate American ar
my for defense, or waiting till they
are reinforced by a complete, pow
erful, self-supporting American ar
my, they have chosen the latter.
"To the sledge hammer uses of
masses of men by the. enemy the
allies are opposing the strategy Of
meeting the blow with the smallest
force capable of standing up to the
shock while keeping the strongest
reserve possible. Troops on the
wings are permitted to give ground
within limits whenever the enemy
has been made to pay a greater
price than the ground is worth.
SIN the present operations the
British army has withstood. many
times its own weight of enemy
masses. 1t has retired slowly, ex-
acting the fullest price. Meanwhile,
Foch holds the bulk of the French
army in reserve sending units only
to points hard pressed. This strate-
gy has justified itself in that in
three weeks it has seen the enemy
brought to a standstill without
single strategic objective being full
filled and with losses so immense
that his reserve is in danger of prov
ing inadequate.
"The German commanders seeing
how nearly he is delivering himself
to the allied reserve, has been COM
PEELED to accept temporary failure
and call a halt. His position is tao
tically exposed in two dangerous
ically exposed in two dangerous
salients on waterlogged ground. His
are dissatisfied at the
immense price paid for his failure
to terminate their sufferings. His
allies are on the verge of quarrel
ing and daily exhibit their growing
dislike and distrust of the taskmas-
ter who robs them of their lives and
food.
"His reserves have nearly reached
complete exhaustion. Those of the
Franco-British are still in being
while the American preparations
develop. The time draws closer
when defeat is inevitable. There
fore, he must renew the offensive.
We may therefore, expect a re-
newed furious onslaught before
long.

Mothers Day was appropriately
celebrated in most of the churches

Austin, Texas, April 15.-Texas to-

the prohibition column when Governor
Hobby's Ten-mile Zone bill, which
banishes saloons within radius of
ten miles of every camp of military
instruction in the state and which also
applies to cities having ship. building
plants working on government con-
tracts, became law. The act is eff
fective for the duration Of the war.
For the purpose of enacting this
law, Governor Hobby called the Texas
Legislature into special session Feb
ruary 26 and a bill embodying the pro-
visions recommended by him and ap-
proved by Secretary Baker of the war
was enacted without de-
lay.

A monster egg was being shown
about town Saturday by j. G. Kloster-
man, the chicken, egg and produce
man who tries to supply the town
with these products fresh from has
and neighboring farms. Mr.. Kloster-
man said there was no way in which
this egg could be other than that froEa
an ordinary hen, but that he had not
discovered which one of his hens per-
petrated the trick as none of them
seemed to be swelled up with pride.
The egg weighed six ounces, was
eight inches in circumf erence the
smallest way and nine and one-quals
ter inches around the long way. We
broke the egg in the presence of Mr--
Klosterman and found that there WAS
an ordinary egg inside the big egg
and the space between the two eggs
was filed with ordinary white of egg
while the interior egg was not differ
ent from the common egg except that
its outer shell was soft. We ate botfa
of them and they were fine and tasted

German fighting system, but they are

of the Belgian Prince, where the men
were taken on the submarine deck,
their Gfebelts removed, and then it

years-The Evening Leader-which is
a member of The Associated Press
and keeps the town posted with the
last minute wire news up to the time
of going to press each afternoon, be-
sides giving all the local news it can
possibly dig up and publicity of all
sorts which is of untold value to the
city.

best interests of Tarpon Springs and

some enemies, and they have left
nothing undone to put it out of BUSH

Until the city grows large enough to
support daily paper The Leader will
be printed at a loss.
The Leader cannot complain of lack
of support, for the merchants of our
city patronize it as well as most mer-
chants in small towns patronize the
newspapers, but the fact is there is
not enough business and enough peo-
pie here to justify the publication of

Sheffield, England, March 18.-The
collection of income tax from wage
earners is causing many heartburn
ings in the prosperous industrial dis
trict around Sheffield. Investigations
of the income tax man there have
shown many incomes almost fabulous
when compared with peace-time
wages.
After all allowances are made for
children, insurance, expenditure for
tools, and other deductions, it is found
that individual worknen here will pay
on incomes ranging up to $4,000 a
year, the highest figures being reach
ed by the so-called tonnage men"
who are paid on the amount of mate
rial turned out.
A list of filters in one Sheffield fac
tory shows incomes ranging from ST.
400 to $4,000 year, while other
crafts receive corresponding wages.
Many of the best paid workers are
Swedes and Dutchmen, who work
their machines to the limit and are
not trammelled by any rules or regu-
lations as to output.
