British Ambulance Men
Praised for Bravery
(By Associated Press

LONDON. July British Red
Cross ambulance men did splendid
work during the recent Austrian Of
fensive and they gained high praise
from the Italian MILITARY authorities,
according to reports received here
from Rome. Their actual help was in
creased by the moral support given
the Italians.
On the plain west of the Piave Brit
ish ambulances often were in holly
contested sectors. One regimental
medical post they served was within
several hundred yards Of the firing
line. The Britishers won the admira-
ton of the Italians for their work
among the vines and fruit trees which
were in full leaf and through which it
was impossible to see more than a
very short distance. Nine-tenths of
the wounded in certain divisions were
carried to the rear by the British.
When the Austrians retreated across
the river at Ponte di Pave, British
ambulances worked up to the river
bank and took care Of Austrian as
well as of Italian wounded.

telegraph, telephone, cable and radio
systems the house took Jurisdiction
over the measure from that commit

only a viva voice vote when Repre-

jurisdiction be transferred because
the measure was urged as a military
necessity. Members of the military
committee said later they were not op-
posed to the resolution and undoubted-
ly would report it fayorably.
Permanent government ownership
and operation of telegraph and tele-
phone lines was advocated by Secre-
tary Daniels and Postmaster General
Burleson said if the systems were as
efficiently conducted by the govern
ment as the postal service now is, they
never would go back to private own

GERMANS PUSH ON
IN NORTH RUSSIA
(Py Associated Press)

LONDON, July 2-The Finnish
German push along the Pasville river
in the Murmansk region of Northern
Russia must be considered in connec-
ton with events in Russia, which
gradually are developing in antiBol-
shevik directions, says the correspon-
dent of the Times at Christiania.
There is reason to believe, he adds
that entente traffic at Archangel,
which has been suspended for the past
twelve months, will soon be resumed.
The Germans therefore, are eager to
cut communications with southern
Russia and force an issue as regards
their demand for an ice free port on
the Arctic coast. The correspondent
adds:
"The same events which compelled
the Germans to send troops northward
will presently make it even more i'm
portant for the allies to occupy these
regions Questions of vital interest to
both parties also must be decided"
