 No Point Yet Gained i A message sent from the front to the premier concludes as follows: | "A comparison of all reports received show that the offensive was pressed only in the first zone of resistance, and not even at 8 few points has it ob- taned the effect which the enemy must have hoped for from his power full bombardment and the enormous ef- Electives launched-an attack agains which our troops are resisting magnif icently.'

Attempted Surprise Fails

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Friday, June 14.-(By The Associated Press)-The- attempted surprise attack by the Austrians in the Tonela region today was decisively repulsed by the Italians with artillery and machine gun fire and bayonet charges. The fre- |quent encounters were spirited not withstanding the cold and binding darkness of the night. This action was an aftermath of the one three weeks ago when the Italians took the Para disc Pass for the purpose of protecting Val Camonica and the Oglior river and westernmost entrance to the Italian plains.

THE COST OF LUNCH.

\ group OF business men IN
Youngstown, Ohio, decided that
their lunchesawere wastetul and un,
patriotic. They therefore adopted
a plan which assumes that the nor
ma, cost of a lunch is fifteen cents
Whenever any members lunch check
rms over shat amount, he has TO
pay the difference into general
savings fund, which reyerts to HIM
in the form OF thrift stamps. Thus
for A Twenty-Five cent lunch he IS
taxed ten cents, and for thirty
cent lunch fifteen cents.
1t may be a good idea. The stand
ard however. seems rather low
Making all due allowance for the
reputed fact that all eat too much
is il really possible for any normal
American to get cnought 10 eat
even in a business lunch for fifteen
cents? 3,
Maybe what those men really
want is to accumulate thrift stamps
And for every nickel they save at
noon thev probably eat an extra
dimes worth Of food at night. Have
Won ever observed the evening din

feel the need OF any lunch at noon ::

HOW TO SAVE
COAL AND STILL
KEEP HOUSE WARM

Philadelphia. Sept. l6.-Various
wavs to save coal and still keep
warm are pointed out by the General
Committee of the Anthracite Goa
Operators in a series of sugges-
tions given out here on conserva
ton OF the fuel during the coming
winter months. Briefly they are:
Start furnace and kitchen-range
fires as late as possible. Forget the
first few cool Fall days.
Raise window curtaines during
the day to admit sunlight, for that
is free heat. Dispense with awnings
as they shut out the sun.
Weatherstrip all doors and
windows and put asbestos around
all furnaces and celler pipes used
for heating purposes.
Reduced the home temperature to
o. degrees. Do not wait until the
mercury shows "a degrees before
closing drafts. BY this time that
extra amount of coal will have been
consumed and wasted according to
all economic rules.
Bedroom, where windows are
opened for the night or otherwise
should be shut off from heat. Use

PEOPLE OF ST. MIHIEL
CUT OFF FROM THE
WORLD FOUR YEARS

With the American Forces in Lor-
raine, Friday, Sept. l4-(By The
Associated Press s)-Thirty-six hours
of fighting netted General Persh-
ings' forces approximately l55
square miles OF territory in the St.
Mihiel salient, which had been in
German hands since the autumn or
1914.
Following the American troops
through the captured village, the
correspondent found on every hand
evidence OF long control by the Ger
mans. Bills for electric lighting and
SUPPLIES had been paid with curious
currency, which the Germans had
printed French monetary terms.
The inhabitants OF the salient were
absolutely ignorant OF the events OF
history in the last four years, know
ing only what their captors had told
them. Here, TIE sad stories heard
in the whole OF the reclaimed dis
trictS OF France were acccntuated
by the long years OF German control
which had isolated the people from
news OF relatives and of world hap
penings. Every American entering
the village experienced the same re-
ception as that given to Secretary
OF War Baker and General Pershing
and their party.

their ranks were thinned by volun-

1t is hoped that most cot the
students can be shaped into oiii-

immensely. They have every IN
