French Troops Scored
Amazing Results Against
The Austrians
LATTER NO MATCH
FOR TRAINED MEN
Prisoners In Pitiful Condi-
ton From Lack of Food
and Clothing
fBy Associated Press.l

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Wednesday, Jan. 2.-The
French in their recent successful op-
GRAFTON on Monte ,Tomba, captured
more prisoners than they had men
engaged, according to a veteran Off
Ger who witnessed the fight. From
the top of nearby hill he saw the
French attack and afterward saw the
prisoners, guns and booty brought in.
1T was a record making fight in
many respects" he declared. THE
French took more prisoners than
they had men engaged, which is
among the records in military annals.
They also captured their first Aus
trian prisoners, which is another
milestone for them as heretofore they
had captured only Germans.
In addition to the 1,400 prisoners
we counted $50 dead on the ground
and no one knows how many more
bushes. The perfect French military
system enabled them to accomplish
this with Insignificant loss-less than
fifty men.
THE Ffftieth Austrian division,
which was the one attacked, is con-
sidered a good fighting organization.
But the Austrians were accustomed
to fighting Russians and Rumanians
and this was the first time they had
met the highly trained French troops
The result was that rawness and i'm
discipline were swept away bef0ra
discipline and training.
PitifuI Lot Of Soldiers.
When the prisoners were brought
in, I never saw a moro miserable,
pitiful, starved lot of soldiers. They
looked like the riff-raff from the
slums of some big city. Even the Of

Why Women Talk.

Men are downtown at their offices all day and have a chance to talk. The women have to stay at home, and with the exception of the milkmap. the gro- cery man, the iceman, the old clothee man, few miscellaneous peddlers and hucksters, and the woman next door, there is nobody to talk to. That Is why wife talks her husbands head off when he comes home at night Husbands, who through long years of experience, have grown accustomed to this merely answer "hmh-hmh" with out hearing. Sometimes the wife will catch them unawares and between re- marks will insert request for S1O to buy new dress with. If the husband from force of habit answers "hmh' hmh," the wife. Of course. gets the gown.-Cartoons Magazine

The Useful BIacksnake.

In Burlington county, New Jersey. the farmers who. in the erroneous be- Hef that they are pest, have been killing blacksnakes, are being urged to conserve them as enemies of the rat tiers, which have been uhpleasantly numerous this year. The damage done by the nonpoisonons reptiles is now recognized to be of slight account in comparison with the good they do. Not only will the blacksnake fight and best the rattler but he earns more than his keep by keeping down other pests. It has taken man long time to identify his friends of the lower orders, and even today many persecuted animals do not receive the credit that is due to them.

London, June 26.-The internal situation in Austria Hungary con tinues to be disturbed intensely, ac- cording to the correspondent of the Daily Mail at Annemasse, on the Franco-Swiss frontier, who claims to have authentic sources of informa- tion. Under date of Monday he says the strikes in Hungary are eXtend- ing 'rhe telegraph and postoffice are working badly.
 The unrest. he says, generally has 8 Bolsheyiki and anti-military char acter. Innumerable deserters from the army are taking part and in cer- tain parts of the country these men are arming robber bands. In Buda- past a revolutionary stike is in pro- gross.
 The food situation in Austria has not improved and the correspondent says it is not improbable, despite Germany's help that the entire country is slowly starving.
 According to rumors received by way of the Austrian legation in Berne. German trops are marching into Bohemia to restore order. The correspondent asserts that railway transportation in Bohemia is uncer- tain and that freight cars are often plundered by robber bands.
 Prague is reported without bread, meat and pCtatoes and Galacia is al- most without food of any kind.

 Hun Dead Litter Ground.
 Some idea of the thcroness with which the Americans prepared for the attack may be gleaned from the fact that they fired about 5000 high explosives in one hour. American gunners worked so fast the Germans said they did not have time to think. German lines were torn up and the nearby ground strewn with German dead and wounded. Two members of a German hospital corps were cap tured.
 Machine gun emplacements hidden behind rocks were charged and cap tured while a group of several Ameri- cans captured one machine gun and 20 Germans in a shell hole. The attack ing force was a comparatively small one but did the work as thorolv as one several times as large might have done.
 One of the American wounded re- marked to the correspondents:
