acknowledgement baked In
their march toward the plain by the
of the Monte Asolone positions after
they had captured them, the Austro-
German troops are concentrating heaV--
ily. according to all available reports,
north and northeast of this important
approach to dominating Monte Grappa-
new and unprecedentedly vigorous
onslaught on the barriers to the plains
is expected soon, not only at Grappa.
ITSELF but on the Asiago Plateau ana
possibly the Lower Piave, where en-
emy troop concentrations also are re-
corded.
Although expert opinion appears to"
be approaching unanimity that the;
Austrians have given up hope OIL
breaking through the Italian line at
present SO far as to force another
great retreat, all available lnforma-
tion indicates the enemy desires to-
achieve another big success by cap
turing all peaks commanding inc
plain, and would vastly prefer a posi-
ton at the northern limit of the plain
at least, where climatic conditions,
would favor his troops, while posses
sion of the peaks would enable him
to control the territory for miles III
front of them. Even cursory Visit
to the Grappa sector, however, is SUI
ficient to reveal convincingly how
very far the enemy is from achieving
these detectives and how formidable
the Italian positions are-backed up
by rejuvenated army, thoroughly re-
organized and re-equipped, and whose
spirit was shown by the counter-at-
tack which recaptured the great Aso--
lone positions.

Second Jackie Victim of Gang.

Chicago.-Another Great Lakes
Jackie has fallen victim to the same
gang, the police believe, who murder
ed Jackie John A. Becker over month
ago. Rushed to the County Hospital
an operation was performed, but ply
sicans despaired of saving his life, The
most significant feature of the case IS
that it is an absolute parallel to the

of carrying money in their shoes. And
it was presumed that the robbers

SEARCHLIGHT ON PACKERS

Unless they come OF their own Voil-
ton, representatives OF the countrys
five great packing families Will not De

that subpoenas would not be issued
for them While the commission gave
no explanation of it's decision, some
officials called attention to the posi-
bility of giving immunity to persons
giving testimony on which future
prosecutions might be based. The spe-
cific question at issue and in SUISSE
uuent hearings to be held in New
York. Boston and probably chicago
will be the ownership of the Chicago
Stock Yards and the Chicago terminal
railroads. The National Cattlemen's
Association at various times mas
charged intercorporate relations BE-
tween the yards, the roads and the
packing plants. The packers nave
contended that they owned no STOCK
in the yards or the roads, and that
their businesses were conducted with
out other than legitimate relations
with the great cattle market and the
terminal transportation facilities.
There had been no intention OF the
proposed hearing until the formal an

entire force of investigators has been

sPuRNED PROPOSALS.
Ukraine Regime Lines Up With Cos
sack Chief and Receives Another
Bolsheviki Threat-Recognition is
Accorded BY Allies, Berlin Says.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London. reports from
Petrograd that the Russian-Teuton
peace parleys had been broken on
were received here with considerable
skepticism. 1t was said the Germans
have rejected the Russian peace
terms. For the present they are
classed with the other more or less
sensational reports and rumors dellp-
erately disseminated by Lenine and
Trotzky during recent weeks for GER
tain political purposes, But while on
the face of it the report was suspected
in most responsible quarters OF BENG
a hoax, it was admitted in othclal CIR
cles that such sudden debacle of the
Russo-Teuton peace chickering's is en-
tirely possible because of the nature
of the demands.
The Rada, governing body OF the
Ukraine, apparently is maintaining It's
determined stand toward the Bolshe-
Wiki Government. 1t is reported 1t mas
converted it's sympathies with the
movement of General Kaledine, Cos
sack leader, into a definite alliance.
Advices received from Russia are to
the effect that the Bolsheviki Com
missioners, after receiving the Rada's
rejection of the Bolsheviki ultimatum,
sent another one, giving the Ukraine
a further 48 hours in which to recon
slider it's refusal to acquiesce in the
demands of the Bolsheviki Govern
ment. Quick to realize the huge pos
sibilities of this Ukrainian movement,
long dormant, but now for the first
time evidently acting on large scale,
the Entente Allies are reported to be
giving them full encouragement.
