ITALIANS EXPECT AN ATTACK

Washington, April 2.-Imminent
danger of an attack by the Austrians
in great force upon the Italian lines
is emphasized at the Italian embassy.
Recently the embassy. published a
statement that no less than forty di-
visions had been gathered by the en-
emy along the battle line, and now in
formation comes that these troops
have received the essentials of food,
artillery and munitions for which
they have been waiting.
The immediate objective of the
Austrians is expected to be the city
of Brescia on the east of Lake Garda,
and another attack may be directed
on the west with the purpose of
breaking into Lombardy. The prin-
cipal Italian munitions and army sup
ply factories are located in Lombardy
and Piedmont.

of the Italian army of 100000 men
is being maintained on the battle line
and the official explanation is that
there is no food and not even enough
guns and ammunition for the remain
der.

antine our fall collection has been
delayed, but we are planning now to
go at it in. earnest hoping to have
larger collection than ever this fall.
To accomplish this we need new
directors as we'll as members. Each
director collects at least % garments
and one contribution of money, and
each member contributes two new,
plain, serviceable garments or
household linen. Men, women and
children may become members, and
we would invite the help of all whc
can afford to assist in furnishing
clothing for those less fortunate
than themselves. This collection is
for home relief and cannot be sent
out of the Country.
Watch for notice of our Annual
Meeting later in November and send
your contributions promptly so they
can be on exhibition.

Plucky Cecil County Boy.

The fight put up by Lieut.. Frank
E. Williams, son of Senator Will
liams of this county, is to be num-
bered among the really herioc Incl
dents of the war. In close quarters
in German trench, fighting with
knives and hand grenades, the
plucky young Lieutenant killed the
big boche that had picked him out
for slaughter; but lost an eye, came
near losing his remaining eye, and
received five other wounds. He Is
coming through all right, and hopes
the war will not end without giving
him a chance to get another boche
to help compensate for the loss OF
his eye.-Cecil Star.
