ITALIAN WAR PICTURES.


There has never been a~better dem
onstration Of the Importance. and value
OF motion pictures than Is offered by
The Italian Battlefront"-fllmed rec
ords OF the warfare that has been
waging between Italy and the Austrians
on the most hazardous OF all the Euro
pean battlenelds.
These pictures. taken by the Italian
staff, will be shown at The Playhouse
June 3 for limited engagement OF one
week.
News items have appeared In the daily
papers from time 10 time that the diff
ferent governments would requlsltlon
the motion picture as an ally for the
preservation Of records and other uses.
However, the war pictures which Will
be shown at The Playhouse are the first
really authentic pictures taken by any
OF the European governments. The
Italian general stan considered the mat
ter OF such vital and far-reaching i'm
portance that IL would not entrust the
filming OF its activities TO private
iirm, but went into the business Itself,
and directed that the camera men
should be permitted 10 go /lto places
from which war correspondents were
barred, these men being the only indl-
viduals OF any rank who were priv
LEGGED TO pass certain lines
The wisdom OF the Italian general
stan in doing this is proved by a view
OF the pictures. Moving pictures taken
OF any military engagement are Of
value, but particularly so % the Italian
front, by reason Of the exceptional OBJ
stacles which the Italians have had to
confront.

Enemy Attack on Picardy
Front Overwhelmingly
Repulsed
RAIDERS FAIL
IN wOEVRE SECTOR

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-General Per
shings Official report, given out at the
War Department last night, indicates
that American troops are participating
in the desperate fighting ushered in by
the German drive on the western front
The Americans IN Picardy have resorted
TO timely counterattaoks and appear "a
have given a splendid account OF them
selves. In his Official report General
Pershing describes the lighting as fol-
lows:
In Picardy after violent artillery
preparation hostile infantry detach-
ments succeeded in penetrating our
advanced position in two points
Our troops counterattacked, COM
pletely expelllng the enemy and en-
tering his lines.
In the Woevre a strong hostile
raiding party was repulsed, with
losses in killed and wounded.
In Lorraine hostile gas shell bonn
bardments Of some intensity oc-
CURED. The day was quiet in the
other sectors occupied by our
troops.
In the course Of air combats this
morning our svlators shot down a
hostile machine.
The statement does not say what
happened after the Americans entered
the German lines In the Pieafdy section
Military experts here assume that
fighting Is still in progress, with the
Americans possibly holding on 10 their
gains or perhaps leading the way for
further advances into the German posi-
tions
According TO General Stan officers II
IS too early to say that the German
onslsughts have been, definitely re-
pulsed, although there are increasing
signs that the French and British have
taken much OF the sting from the first
German blows. Although resumption
Of the drive had been expected by army
experts here, who have insisted that
Germany was now committed TO
policy OF attempting TO smash her way
through. there was some surprise over
the fact that the force Of the blow
came so far south. The German effort
IN Flanders does not appear 10 have
had the magnitude nor the force OF the
effort between Scissors and Rheims
Some army observers who have been
lNlADNAlA Ai4F ElAAdA4NM NlUct4N MELE
inclined to believe that the offensive
in the south had as its object the diver
sion OF troops from the Flanders front
preparatory to a concentrated attack
IN the Ypres sector TO pave the way for
continuing the drive against the Chan
mel ports.
other officers, however, point out that
the German methods have been very
direct since the drive began and that
10 seems hardly likely 70 them that the
German high command would waste
man power and great quantities Of am
munitlon for a feint at this time. The
German policy appears 10 be 10 force
the issue by sheer weight Of massed
man power backed by concentration Of
artillery flre without resorting to ef-
forts at diverting allied forces by feints
or sham attacks.

Gradually the attack was extended

distance Of 60 miles. Albert, an mi
portant town northeast OF Amlens,
was taken by the British on August
%, and a vigorous advance was made
toward Bapume in Flanders. Mean
while French and Americans also
we're rot idle in their respective Sec
tors. On August p it was reported
that in a little more than a month
the Allies had taken 100000 pris-
oners, thousands of cannon, and ma
chine guns. and vast quantities OF
military supplies.
These gratifying results were due
primarily to three things: CD the
logged steadfastness of the British
and the patient heroism of the
Freach-soldiers and civilians; CD
the brilliant strategy of General Foch,
and the unity of command which
made this effective; CD the material
and moral encouragement of the
American forces, of whom nearly l.
100000 were in France before the
end of August.
On the Italian front meanwhile an
Austrian offensive, which had opened
on the Piave river with great expec-
tations on June Is, had speedily been
thrown back with Austrian losses
amounting to over 100000 men and
guns and material to correspond.
1t is still to early to say when the
war will end, or even how far back
the Allied drives of 1918 will carry
the German lines. But this is GER
tain-that Germany a no longer
hope this year either to reach Paris,
smash the British or French armies,
or even occupy the Channel ports.
Her hopes of "a military decision in
1918" have been completely frustrat-
ed, and the ultimate triumph OF
America and the Allies has been rem
dered reasonably certain.

it has been found that almost in
variably such ginners either kept no

ing able to gin for less than Il use

ing" or some similar reason. 1t is
quite manifest that furnishing his
own wood costs the ginner the fair
market price of the wood.
In the effort to stabilize the price
of cotton seed it soon became mani
fest that to succeed in this effort it
was necessary to fix the costs of the
various steps in marketing cotton
seed and to limit the profit. This hav-
ing been done the Increased price of
seed was brought about by the in
creased price of the products thereof,
oil, meal and hulls, which the food
administration stabilized.
The farmers, ginners and cotton
seed crushers mills are therefore
urged to cooperate in these respects
with the food administration, since if
the plan of sta bilization breaks down
at any n of the necessary stages
the entire plan may fail. The gin
ner can no longer recoup his loss on
ginning by the sails of seed, since the
profit at which the seed can be sold
is regulated at every step, is limited
and is fair. VIM. ELLIOTT.
