ITALIAN ARMY HDADQUAR-
TIERS. June 10 (via ottawa) The
splendid spirit of comradeship which
exists between the British and the
Italians on the Italian front is illus
trated by n brilliant feat performed
during the present offensive in the
British sector.
The British defenders OF a certain
position were ordered to retire with
a view to Strengthening out u salient
A small detachment was left on the
crest of a hill 5000 feet high to cover
the withdrawal. The Austrians tried
TO overwhelm the detachment but the
latter. although almost surrounded
and outnumbered tenfold. succeeded
in holding at bay.
The commander OF an Alpine de-
tachment on the left of the British
detachment decided on his own ini-
tiative to attempt to rescue the Brit
ishers. The question was whether
the Alpinl would be able to arrive
In time TO find the defenders alive.

commander OF the Alpini, III any but

the position. and II any but the AL

The Alpini dashed forward The
British received them with cheers for
Italy. The Austriaons were so taken
back by this unexpected onslaught
that they wavered. At this juncture
the commander OF the British de-
tachment leaped TO the top OF the
trench and ordered the charge. The
Austrians were forced to withdraw

SHOTS FROM FORT
BOMBARD YACHT
CLUB HOUSEHOLDS
Fifteen-Pound Shell From
Totten Sinks Commodore'S
Sloop Tender.

The little colony OF houseboats
clustering about the Stepping Stone
Yacht Club at Throgg's Neck was
bombarded with three-inch shells
from Fort Totten yesterday morning
II was learned afterward that the
shells were OF the warning" type
explosive. But they were made
OF metal and they weighed about ff-
teen pounds each. They had been
fired across the bows OF a collier
which had failed to obey a stop sig
nal from the fort
One shell landed within nifty feet
OF the club house and struck the
tender OF Commodore Peter Johnson's
sloop. The missile passed through the
little craft on the starboard side, tore
a hole in the bottom and sank the
boat in shallow water.
A second shell struck somewhere in
the neighborhood. but has not been
found. 1t is believed TO have buried
itself In the shore. Whether there
were more shots or not has not been
learned. Only two are known TO have
been heard.
1t was at $50 In the morning that
James Gallagher, owner OF n bathing
pavilion at Throgg's Neck. heard the
shots. He saw splinters ny from the
tender OF the sloop. which at once
settled. The cause remained a mys-
terry until the tide went out a little
after noon, when the shell was found.
1t is now ON exhibition at the club
house.
Members OF the club protested 10
the commander OF Fort Totten and
asked that more care be used In the
future. In the houseboats a number
OF persons were asleep. and any one
Of them might have been killed, it Is
said. IL the shells course had varied
even fifty feet The commodore
sloop itself was not more than forty
feet from the sunken tender.
No statement has been obtainable
from Fort Totten.

Under the National Flag
of Poland.

PARIS, June 1e.-Fighting under
the national Gag OF Poland, the FIRST
Polish regiment OF the first Polish
division entered the front line

OF cannon and in the presence OF civil

PARIS UND|SMAYED
BY GERMAN THREAT.
OF BOMBARDMENT
Public Talks Cynically About
1t, but Government Prepares
for Any Emergency.

PARIS. June l9.-with the Germans
fifty miles from Paris, the sole topic
OF conversation Is the victorious
stand the Italian armies are making
and their successful counter-attacks,
which causes keen delight here.
The announcements in Swiss news
papers, attributed to the inspiration
OF the German General Staff. pre-
dieting that Paris will be subjected
to an intense bombardment within a
few days. are meeting with cynical
comment untinged by any touch OF
fear.
The Germans have as much chance
to enter PariI as 1 have to occupy
Du Barry's apartments or the Yer
sailles Chateau" was the remark OF
girl worker, given as an indication
OF the temper Of the rank and file..
But IL the Germans should get
within bombarding distance Of Paris
and shell the city. would you got"
the young woman was asked:
Yes. Go TO work al usual" she
replied.
A somewhat different view Is taken
by Louis Puech. a Paris Deputy. who
Is taking a prominent part in the
work OF the Committee of Deputies
for the defense of Paris. He writes
TO the Matin advocating the taking
of certain prccautional measures.
NJ. Puech argues that guns with a
greatly increased range may some
day hold Paris and its suburbs un-
der fire, when panic and serious dis
orders might develop among the mill
ions of Inhabitants, while there would
certainly be considerable destruction
OF supplies and valuables in the city,
the material wealth OF which runs
into many billions.
II has been decided in that event
TO make transportation available for
every one. and $4,000 could be taken
out daily, or 100000 IN case OF emer-
gency.
The accumulated wealth OF the
capital, the Deputy said. would be
removed progressively, with every
thing affecting the national defense
taken first.

The cornet and slide trombone are the two
favorite Instruments; the clarinet and bari
tone follow in order of popularity.
AS quickly as the pupils qualify, they are
placed in the Zion Junior Band, and later on,
promoted to the Senior Band.
It takes long time to make good, de-
pendable player, covering years of effort.
Far too many are satisfied with mediocre
work; others start in with high dreams Of
what they expect to accomplish, but, as the
course becomes more difficult and complica-
ted, they lack the concentration and grit to
continue.
There is no limit on mans ability in band
work. No matter how efficient he may have
become, there are always higher flights for
him to reach. He can keep on growing and
improving. He will never learn all there is to
know.
Between 60 and 70 pupils are taking in
struction in this department. at present.
There is therefore considerable material in
process of formation for Zion bands.
AS in the Vocal, Piano and Violin Depart
ments, Harmony is taught through the adj
vanced grades of the Band and Orchestra
Instrument Department.
