UNREST IN AUSTRIA

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES received
here today indicate that the situa-
ton in Prague, Bohemia and all i'm
portant industrial centers through
out the country have become very
serious. The situation has reached
such a stage that the government
of the dual monarchy it is thought,
will be compelled either to increase
the bread ration Immediately or take
the risk of still further exciting
the people.
According to the Vienna Neue
Presse, in the latter event it is highly
probable that all railroad communi-
cation will be cut and a revolution
started.

PARIS.-Military experts are of
the opinion that very grave events
are pending on the British front
north of Mondidier and extending
towards Ypres and the intense can
nonade undertaken by the German
batteries are believed to mark the
commencement of an offensive on a
gigantic scale. The new German
attack, it is believed, is about to
be launched by the Fourth army
group, under the command of Crown
Prince Rupprecht, of Bavaria. These
forces have had three weeks for
rest and reorganization. Infantry
attacks of great magnitude are i'm
minent and the British are making
preparations to meet the shock.

TRENCHES sToRMED

WITH THE AMERICANS.-The
American troops operating in the
Cantigny region today at daybreak
carried out a raid in force on sew
eral sections of the German trenches
and machine gun nests, which the
enemy were ordered to hold at any
cost. Our troops carried the posi-
tons by storm against a particularly
stubborn defense, killing most of
the defenders by the accurate gun
fire. The storming party used their
bayonets with deadly effect. Several
prisoners were also captured.

AERIAL EXPERT
SAYS PLANES TO
CROSS ATLANTIC
Member of British Air Ministry
Believes American Planes Will
Fly to Front.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Major
George Brancker, of the British air
ministry, is of the opinion that
cargo space now devoted to air.
planes, shipped by the United States
to the war zone, will soon be avail
able for other uses. He says that
the big American sea planes, which
are now shipped as freight, probably
soon will make the voyage across the
Atlantic under their own power. He
bellows that the new machines will
be moving steadily across the water
by next summer.
The British Air council is of the
opinion that the plans of forwarding
aircraft tothe front by the air route
is a good way to send machines to
the front.

AUSTRIANS DEFEATED

ROME.-Premier Orlando told
parliament today that the Austrians
have failed completely in their eff
forts to widen the northeastern
salient on the Montello sector, which
is considered the key of the Piave
front. The enemy, he said, at sew
eral points to the south had crossed
the Monte Belluna Susegna railroad
near Niversa, but were promptly
stopped. The Italian troops in a
counter attack pushed back the
Austrians on the lower Pave and
consolidated their positions on the
ground thus gained The enefny's
losses are said to be enormous.
The Austrians in their advance
westward in the Montello sector,
had thrown force of sixty thousand
men on the west bank of the Pave
river, with the capture of Niversa
as the objective. Niversa is an i'm
portant railroad point guarding the
approaches to Montello. By the
failure of their operations the Aus
TRANS have jeopardized the troops
on the west bank of the Piave and
they are now cornered between the
Pave and the advancing Italian
army. 1t is thought that this force
will be compelled to surrender.

SUMMARY

Associated Press Summary.-All
outward appearances indicate that
the big offensive undertaken by the
A ustro-Hungarian forces against the
Italians have failed all along the
line. ~ >
In the hill region the Allies have
advanced agd captured more ground
and they have consolidated their
positions, while on the Pave front
where intense fighting has taken
place the issue seems to sway in the
balance with the odds in favor of
the Italians and the Allies.
In the region to the south and
east of the Asiago Plateau the
French and Italians have captured
Pennar, Bertigo and Coastalunga,
and taken 200 prisoners.

HONOR EMBLEM
OF BOND DRIVE
REACHES TOWN
Distinctive Emblem of Nenana's
Patriotic Efforts Has Been
Received.

The flag, under the Liberty Loan
honor flag system, awarded to this
town as a result of the splendid
showing made during the Third
Liberty Loan compaign has been re-
ceived, and as soon as the finishing
touches have been put on it, it will
proudly wave at the end of the most
prominent flagpole in town, where
all the residents and visitors, as well
as those passing the town on the
boats can see that Nenana is indeed
live town. The location of the
flag pole will be decided later on,
probably by the Commercial club, to
whom it will be turned over.
The chief purpose of the honor
flag system is to arouse a spirit of
competition between towns in max
ing the best records in sales of Third
Liberty Loan bonds. Arrangements
will be made later for fitting cele-
bration to mark the raising of the
flag.
The flag is 36x54 inche7 and con-
structed from a good quality of
material similar to that in the navy.
1t has a red border and a white
center and three vertical blue stripes
indicative of the Third Liberty Loan
campaign, and the flag is awarded
to Nenana for having subscribed the
sales quota set for it by the Federal
Reserve District Liberty Loan COM
mittee.
The quota allotted to Nenana in
the Third Liberty Loan campaign
was $4,000, and the actual SUBJ
scriptions received amounted 10
$32,950.
BY reason of the fact that the
patriotic citizens of Nenana have
considerably oversubscribed the al
lotted quota, the flag will be further
embellished by the additional honor
emblem of a blue star, which will
be sewed into the white field of the
flag. The star has also been re-
ceived and is now being sewn in at
the right place.
This honor flag system is one that
will separate the quick and the dead
towns beyond all shadow of doubt
and it puts the classification up to
the citizens of the communities them
selves.
We are, beyond the shadow of
any doubt, a real live town, and the
raising of the honor flag will herald
the fact to all.

FALSE ALARM OF FIRE
CAUSES SOME EXCITEMENT

Shortly before midnight yesterday,
the Commission whistle footed fire
alarm with the usual malamute ac-
compartment, and citizens from all
parts of the town were seen hurry
ing in the direction of the supposed
blaze, which was said to be in the
Belmont hotel and pool hall.
The city chemical responded
promptly, the townsite manager and
two other men doing the hauling,
while a lot of men looked on until
the chemical had almost reached The
pool hall, where the fire was sup
posed to be. The buckets recently
placed on the racks at the Terminal
and Thompson's Drug store were
also quickly grabbed by the men
going toward the fire.
Fortunately, it turned out to be
false alrm, and the crowd that had
gathered soon dispersed. -...-.. .
1t would appear that smudge
had been made in one of the rooms
on the second floor of the Belmont
hotel for the purpose of getting rid
of the mosquitoes and the doors
and windows closed, allowing a large
quantity of smoke to gather in the
room. One of the men lodging there
returning late to the room occupied
by him, opened a window to let ont
some of the accumulated smoke.
The large quantity of smoke seen
issuing from the window of the
building gave the impression that
the interior of the place was on fire
and an alarm was turned in.
