BRIT0Ns FEAR
Loss Of GUNS
Make No Effort To Deny
Seriousness of
Reverse.

London, May 29.-several Of the
morning newspapers withhold com
ment on the battle in the Aisne sec
tor. Others, while admitting the Ger.
mans have gained substantial in
itial success, deprecate any idea OF
treating the enemy's advance too Sc.
riously. It is recalled that similar
thrusts have not been followed by con-
tinuous success.
The Daily Chronicle fears the ad.
vance has involved big loss in guns
but thinks that in other respects II
need not cause undue alarm.
The Times says: "The significance
of the German advance cannot be mir
imized and the advance to the Vesle
converts the attack into an operation
of great Importance and some menace.
The loss of the positions which the
allies have sacrificed so much to main.
tain is a regrettable development and
we fear that many heavy guns have
fallen into the hands Of the enemy

was captured by Italian Alpini after
forty hours OF fierce fighting against a
numerically superior enemy.
The Austrians were well entrenched
The great Presena mountain was
reached by the Alpini after attacking
four times under heavy FIRE. The
enemy was finally overwhelmed by a
bayonet drive.
The fight was rendered more dim
cult by the condition Of the ground,
which was hard and slippery with late
spring SHOWS. The Italians advanced
up steep asoents, down precipices and
over glaciers.

Retirement of
Allies Keeps
Line Unbr0ken

= oNDoN, May 2e.-In many
respects the German attack
- on the Aisne and It's results
bear a striking similarity in the
opening Of the German offensive
In March. The present movement,
however, differs In most vital
point, namely, that on this oeca-
sion there never has been, as was
the case In March, danger Of the
allied line breaking. On the con-
trary, as soon as Vt was found the
allies were unable to hold the
crest, orders were given for the
retirement to the Alsne and the
Anglo-Freneh force made an or
derIy retreat in perfect unity. The
brunt Of the German onslaught
was borne by the sixth French
army under General Melst.

Al the Americans started out across
No Mans Land there were many
lokes about "eating boche for break

was NO hesitation when the officers
oprang froward and shouted.
s"Come on, boys"
Several officers, describing tho
scene, agreed that the outstanding
feature in their minds was the Won
derful morale of the men and their
absolute confidence in themselves.
The Germans poured machine gun
bullets all around the Americans as
they were digging in, but no attention
was paid to them as jokes and quips
were handed back and forth.

who was chosen chairman Of the reso.

said:
"This is the war Of no political
party This Is the country's war. and
we charge and deplore that the party
in power is guilty Of practicing petty
partisan politics to the serious detri.

appeal to all patriots, whatever their
politics, to aid us IN every possible
way in our efforts to require that par.

The platform declares that the re.

mise or a bargaining Of principles
which would violate American rights

sacrifice sacrilege, to be made again
