Baker Approves Extra
Allowance for Officers

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Secretary
Baker has approved the proposal pend
ing in Congress to make to army Of
ticers in the field, either in the United
States or in Europe, the same extra
allowance for quarters they would re-
ceive otherwise when away from their
posts.
The extra allowance will apply only
to officers with dependents, and will
amount to increases in pay ranging
from IS per cent for second lieuten-
ant to 25 per cent for a colonel The
idea is to make provision for officers
dependents.

PARIS, Jan, S.-Nature has pc
cular way of destroying the deceiving
effects of camouhage. The recent
heavy SHOWS on the Western front have
rendered valueless immense quantities
OF camoutlaee material, with the result
that artists and workmen have had to
work overtime in order to adapt their
work to changed conditions.
The Germans were quick to take ad-
vantage of the snow covered ground
and began sending out patrols dressed
entirely in white. The French soon
penetrated through this disguise and a
number of German SNOW men" were
taken prisoner.
The dark brown and green colored
German airplanes seem to have been
overlooked. however. For some time
past Allied airmen found it difficult,
when flying at height of several thou
sand feet, to distinguish these dark
colored planes as they stood on the
barren ground in front of their
hangers. The snow, however, brought
out the dark colors in bold relief, and
the French airmen have taken full

Austro-Germans Dash at
Heights Guarding Impor-
tant Frenzela Valley
No Ground Gained;
Big Losses Suffered
Defenders Firmly Hold Re-
captured Mounts di Val
Bella and del Rosso

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Austro- Ger
mans launched against the Italian
northern front yesterday artillery and
infantry attacks of great violence,
which appear to be the forerunners of
general offensive, the first great Teu-
tonic military stroke of the new year.
The attacks extended from the east
ern edge of the Asiago Plateau to the
Brenta River. on the four mile front
where the Italians won strategic sue
ing Monte di Val Bella and Col del
Rosso and pressing the enemy back on
both sides of the Frenzela Valley. Yes
tcrday the Austrians made repeated ef-
forts to regain all these positions, but
failed completely, according to the
Rome War Office.
Barred by Heights Guns
The first thrust, preceded by violent
concentrations of fire, was aimed at the
Italian positions east and west of the
Frenzela Valley, the route chosen by
the invaders last fall for their abortivc
drive into the Venetian Plain. These
attacks broke down under the fire of
the Italian batteries on the dominating
heights of di Val Bella and Rosso.
Further east, on the southern slopes
of Sasso Rosso, midway between the
Frenzela and the Brenta, an Austrian
detachment made "various attempts" ("
the Rome statement says. to reach
some advanced trenches which they had
been forced to evacuate. A "deadly
5arrage" barred their way and they
were compelled to abandon their efforts
here also, Rome declares.
Aerial activity-less violent, appar-
r1ently, than usually accompanies heavy
infantry actions-took place above the
lines during the struggle, the Italian
communique stating that one of Diaz's
f1lers shot down two hostile machines.
The Berlin War Office makes no men
tlon OF the action, reporting only artil-
lery activity on the Asiago Plateau, but
1t is rarely that either Berlin or vi
emma discloses the details of an Of
tensive until it is we'll under way.
Foes Hand Not Yet Shown
While there seems little doubt that
the AustroGermans are about to carry
out heavy offensive on the Italian
mountain front, it is too early as vet
to judge whether it will consti-
tute major operation, with the OBJ
Ject of definitely putting Italy out Of
the war, or merely aim at the recapture
of the key positions between the Piave
and Asiago in anticipation of a larger
spring campaign.
During the winter months the French
and the Italians, in two successful
strokes, deprived the invader of much
OF the fruits of his great southwark
sweep from the Alps and virtually
rescued italy from situation of great
peril. They now face the Teutons
from powerful line anchored on the
dominant mountain peaks of North
ern Italy.
