Women an over the world realize more
and more that their work at home will help
the men at the Front. 1t involves great
sacrifices, hard work and unusual physical
strength. Women at home should study
nursing for war and for the home. A good
way to learn is to ask your druggist for a
copy or send Soc to publisher Of the 'fMed-
ical Adviser" 663 Main St., Buffalo,
N. Y, and get a copy of their 1000 page
book bound in cloth, with chapters on
First Aid, Taking Care of the Sick or
Wounded, Physiology, Hygiene, Anato-
my, Sex Problems, Mother and Babe.
Nobody, man or woman, can do good
work when health is impaired. If q
woman is nervous or has dizzy spells,
suffers from awful pains at regular or
irregular intervals she should turn to q

London, May 16.---Thc British secrc- Bnlfour. in giving explanations in the House of Commons today in connection with Emperor Charics' letter to Prince sixtus of Bourbon, recently made pub- lie by the President of the French re- public, declared thnt no effort mt con- vcrsntion has ever been made by the central powers in the interest of a fair and honorable peace, and lie nddeds
 "If any representative of any bcl- ligcrent country desires seriously to lay before us any proposals, we nre ready to listen to them.
 The letter in question had been ex- amined by committee of the French conclusion reached was that it did not provide an adequate or satisrac- tory basis for an honorable peace.
 Mir. Balfour in his explanations was replying to questions submitted By Walter Runciman. former president of the Board of Trade, who asked whether when Emperor Charles lot- ter was communicated to the French government and by the French gov- ernment to the British prime minister. was communicated to any other of the allies had the American government any information as to what was pa ss- ing? Did the prime minister inform the foreign office at the time of the fact that the communication had been shown to him? Why were the nego- tiations dropped-was it on purely ter ritorial grounds: was it because a de- mand was made by France not only for lsace-Lorraine but for the 1914 line or even the 1790 line?

Rome. May 16.-An Austrian battle ship was torpedoed by Italian naval forces in Pola harbor early Tuesday morning, it was officially announced today,

By Associated Press

Among the peaks of the Asiago plateau east of the Brenta river, the Italian front has been turned into violent action. The aggressive was taken by the Italians, how ever, and the Austro- German forces, instead of launching their long-heralded assault on the Italian line, have been compelled to fight hard to maintain the positions where they have stood since last No vember.
 The fighting seems to have cen tered on the comparatively short sec tion of the battle line between Monte Asolone and Monte Pertica These two heights, about three miles apart, rise to an altitude of about 5000 feet, while between them there is sort of saddle" on which the Teutonic forces have taken up strong positions. Both the Vienna and Rome official statements tell of bitter fighting on this particular front, the latter stating that the Italian soldiers have entered Austrian trenches on Monte Asolone in two places.
 rApDv EICuT To u,HrrnTxy } The fact that the Italian armies have taken the initiative in the fighting would seem to indicate that they have sought to carry the fight to the enemy in such a way as to break up any arrangements for the launching of strong Teutonic as sault. This has many precedents in the present war, strong offensive at a Z threatened point being considered the best defense under certain circumstances.
 While the fighting has been very fierce east of the Brenta the whole Italian line. from Lake Garda to the Piave and thence to the sea, has been marked by patrol engagements, which appear to be isolated astions, but which may be com ponent parts of plan of campaign in that theatre of the war. Nowhere have the Italian lines been reached by at- tacking parties of Austrians.
 In Flanders and Picardy only heavy ar tillery fire has marked the fighting dur ing the last day, American gunners have been at work in the general lombard ment that has been going on and have again set buildings in Montdidier in flames. Here and there there have been patrol enga gements, but these fights have not approached the magnitude of a battle at any point.
 A daring raid on the Austrian naval base at Pols has been made by Italian units. and an Austrian battleship of the 2o.0oo-ton type has been torpedoed. The Italian forces were aided in their oper- ations by the cooperation of an aerial squadron
