With the Italian Army. June 1S.-Aus-

One of the most brilliant Of the ltal.

Monte Moschin salient protecting the
important Brenta position. Here the
Austrians suffered heavy losses. many

The prisoners are ragged and lifted
Many of them are undersized youths.
One of them remarked to the CORE

Thus far the Italians, Britich and
French troops have made prisoner of
more than $500 Austrians, while tho
Austrian war office asserts that H..
600 prisoners have been taken by the
Austrians.
London. June 18.-On the front IN
France the fighting activity has been
limited to local German attacks at iso-
lated points. Against the French along
the Matz river the enemy failed. The
same result attended q strong effort

attack with heavy losses and only .
small force reached Xivray. where 1t

by machine gun and rifle fire.
The Lys salient in Flanders is being

adjusted just before the shell IS put into the gun, and 1t is timed according to the distance the projectile will be from the gun when the ignition occurs At that time the explosive runs down the tube to the base of the shell and sets off the black powder, which drives the bullets forth in a shower. The shower has range of about 750 fet, and the of lead envelopes the enemy.
 The black powder increases the ve- locity of the bullets about 300 feet per second over that of the shell. They fly out with such force that aIi6 one ,of them is capable of putting any man out of action who stands within some hun- dreds of feet of where the shell opens
 The manufacture of shrapnel has great ly improved since the war began New inventions have been made by Ameri- cans, and American machine tools for shell making have been sent to Europe ard ore used in the factories there The number of shells of sharpnel made in this country is almost beyond compute ton. Long before we entered the war our different factories were turning out hundreds of thousands Of shrapnel a week, and it was due to this demand for munitions that enabled us to turn out the big product we are now making. This is so not only of shrapnel but of powder and explosives of all kinds. Before the war one company was making about 40, 0cO. GOO pounds of military powders per am nun, another was turning out 800 12-inch shells per day, and a third making 600,- GOO time fuses a month. The orders of the allies ran into many hundreds ot

the smokIess powder that sends the shrapnel forth from the gun. These cartridges are of the same diameter as the she'll and a foot or more in length. They are fitted onto the shells and they contain the@ explosive force that sends the projectile to the point where the bullets fly forth, These cases start as brass disks about as thick as lead pencil and as big around as the bottom of a tin cup. They make their way through press after press which squeezes the brass into shape A great steel finger from the bottom of the press touches the brass disk and pushes 1t out into a cone or cup as gently and as easily as you press your finger into A kid glove The disks at first are thick cups; but they grow thinner and longer at each operation, until they be- come the beautifully shaped cylinders which hold the powder. They are now more than a foot long and their ends have been mlled like the edge of a coin.
 All this is intricate and hard to under stand But the fuse of the shra pnel if more intricate still. It is like putting watch on the end of a cannon ball, and setting 1t so that when the ball flies through the air a certain distance the explosive inside will go off. This is just what is done by the fuse of the shrapnel It Is brass plug of the shape of cone which Is screwed into the end of the shell. This plug contains such explosive machinery that a twist of the wrist on the part of the gunner will set within 25 seconds the time at which the explosive inside will go off. This is

The two arc paid by the amount of work they do. and the output of the woman Is double that of tho man. This Is So only as to certain classes of work
 I was interested in watching the women as they handled these deadly tocls of destruction and death. There is nothing warlike about them. They are bright-eyed, healthy, rosy-cheelSed girls. differing from the ordinary American industrial workers only in their costumes. This is a suit of khal<s, consisting of blouse and overalls. the latter cut very full. Tn addition, many of them weaf caps of the same ma terial. which cover the whole of tie head, excepting the face, over which {. long visor falls.
 As to the different classes of work done by the women, these include the handling of intricate machinery and most of the processes employed in the making of shrapnel. I saw them pouring bullets into the steel shells. measuring them out in cups and pass- ing them to men who pour in the melted rosin, which holds the balls i,i place until they are ready to fly out in q leaden rain on She enemy I saw them grinding the finest of machine tools against emery stones until their edges were shaped to exactly fit the gauges. which they applied now afr then as the grinding went on. I saw girls measuring and gauging the size of the shrapnel, everything connect ed with which must be so accurate that It fits to Q thickness one-thire that of a single hair of your head This means that almost every par must be measured and tested again ant again, as it goes through the process of manufacture.

Somewhere in America.
 n HAVE just returned from a visit to one of the largest munition plants
 in the United States, It might be in any one of a dozen locations for We are making munitions all over the country I will only say 1t has been in existence since the war in Europe be- gan and that it has furnished hundreds of thousands Of steel shells and many millions of shrapnel, which have been showered down on the Germans.
 The great establishment was created almost in night by one of the big in- Gustrial plants of the United States. The parent company had long been en- gagged in other work in iron and steel and itt added this plant to satisfy the demand for munitions on the part of the allies. It put up great buildings or glass and steel covering something like l5 acres of ground. and started thousands of men and women to work. The most of the men were skilled me- citanfcs, accustomed to dealing with tools of the most intricate and accu- rate nature. Many of them were expert machinists. and under the high wages offered they were soon turning out tlIree-inch shells by the hundreds of thousands month.
 The women were not skilled. but they were weeded out from the stand point of efficiency, and today some of them surpass the men in certain branches of the manufacture About tae-fourth of the force is now made Up ce girls. There are 5000 of them. and they are as regular, or even more regular. in their attendance than the 9000 men who work with them. Tn many of the departments the men and women work side by side. 4 large part or the industry is on a piece work basis. and one of the chief officials tells me that he has many women who produce more than men who are en- sdged on the same job.
