ITALIANS SOON
TOBEGIN DRIVE
ON HUN HORDE
Concentrates Forces for
New Offensive Along the
Pave and on Asiago.

Italy Is concentrating her efforts for
a new offensive along the Piave and
the Asiago plateau, according to ad-
vices received here in semiofficial 1tal-
ian circles.
Dispatches report that contrary to a
general belief that there are only
seven German divisions facing the
Italians. there are twenty-three Ger
man divisions. two Bulgarian divis-
ions. and one Turkish division and the
Austrian army. These are rearrang-
ing their positions and moving large
quantities OF ammunition and stores
toward the Italian defense. On the
other hand. the Italians are meeting
the new situation with enormous re-
Inducements of munitions. war motor
machines, airplanes and heavy artil-
lery.
Oficial embassy sources look for the
beginning OF another drive as soon
as the snow begins to clear from
the mountain passes in April.
Germany, il is maintained, has not
weakened her forces in the southern
sector. She has her eye on Italy's
great munitions and war factories
along the line from Turin to Brescia,
and taking of that would virtually
mean that Italy is out Of the war.
With Italy silent. Germany would
have not only an outlet through the
Mediterranean. but would be able to
release a powerful force to reinforce
the western lines. Italy, admitting
her previous defeat after her mag
nihcent drive into Austria, is deter
mined to have no repetition.
Financial reinforcement is growing,
advices state, the fifth Italian loan
now showing large subscriptions. Re
sponse to the governments appeal

That interest in The Herald's War

by Home Defense League members
and Woodmen of the World.

Extra Clerk Appointed
For Herald Stamp Sales
Miss Emma Binnix in Charge of Special Boott
at Postofice; Rivalry Among Contest
ants Grows Rapidly.

Sales OF war savings and thrift
stamps at the City PostofIice yester-
day to contestants in The Herald's
War Savings Stamp Contest were so
large and steady as to cause opening
of a new department to handle them.
Miss Emma Binnix has been desig-
mated to take charge of the new de-
partment. She was kept extremely
busy aiding Miss Mamie f. GuliCk,
who, at the end of the day, reported
total Of approximately 5000 worth
OF stamps to Herald workers.
Many policemen mingled with the
mail carriers at the Poetoffice yester-
day. They jocularly told the.postmefi
they would have to "go some" to beat
them out for the eighteen gold prizes
offered by James O'Donnell, Ross p.
Andrews and NJ. A. Leese.
To Print Leaders Names.
Mail carriers frequented the two war
savings stamp departments throughout
the day. 1t Is the custom for them TO
take out new supplies Of the stamps
from a single trip sometimes run up
into the hundreds of dollars.
Tomorrow The Herald will print tho
rames OF the twenty-five policemen,
firemen and mail carriers who are
leading in the contest. Decision has
been made to count the official ballots
cast in The Herald office and thus
make this relative standing complete.
1t is expected that when this list ap-
pears 1t will cause even a more
hustling spirit among The contestants,
as it will show them how easily they
can bring their totals up to the leaders
and find themselves among the eigh-
teen winners at midnight February Il
Officials at the Postoffice again called
attention yesterday to the inclination
of policemen at some OF the precincts
to pool their sales. This cannot be
permitted as It is obviously unfair to
, earnest individual workers. The pre-
cinct, however, which shows the larg-
est sales will get the recognition it
deserves.
No contestant should miss The Her.
aid of Sunday as not only will the
standing of the twenty-five highest
contestants be printed out an impor-
tant announcement will also be made.
Readers of The Herald should lind
interest in the standing Of the con-
testants. When they find friend in
the running they should not fail to
hunt him out and buy a supply of
stamps from him. He will appreciate
1t.

results being accomplished through

Opposes Compulsory
incubation in Army

Protest against compulsory inocu-
lation of soldiers was expressed in a
resolution forwarded to Secretary of
War Baker and made public yester-
day by the New York Anti-Vivisec-
ton Society.
Serum incubation has resulted Sin
deplorably affecting the strength and
availability of our national army and
occasioned unnecessary loss to thou
sands of American families, who have
bravely offered their young manhood
to our beloved country" the resolu-
ton declares.
1t was urged that 1t be left to the
discretion of each soldier whether he
should be inoculated, and. 1t Is add

emption now made by Great Britain.
