In that campaign Mr. Redaeld repeatedly denied that

came this country following the disastrous first
year Of the Democratic tariff law. These denals were
public speeches. and in bulletins franked to the
press and to the people, and the sole admission made
to the effect Of war orders restoring prosperity TO the
United States that exports Of explosives and mun

total exports had considerably increased Here is th
Daily Commerce statement published two years later:
"There a slight drop in exports in 1914 due "a

outbreak OF the war; but in succeeding the value
Of exports mounted rapidly by Of the increased
purchases Of foodsuffs and munitions by the Allied
countries the extension Of American trade TO countries

Brooklyn Officer
Killed in Action

Herbert W. Groser, of 763 Eastern
Parkway, Brooklyn, was notified by the
War Department yesterday that his
son, First Lieutenant Leslie H. Groser,
had been killed in action in France.
Mr.. Groser said his sons regiment had
been engaged in the fighting near
Chateau Thierry. Lieutenant Groser
was twenty-seven years old and was
married on August last year to Miss
Lenore Strong, of Philadelphia. He
was graduate of the Boys High
School, Brooklyn, and of Cornell Uni
versity. He was editor in chief Of "The
Cornell Daily Sun" during his senior
year.
The lieutenant was a graduate Of the
second Plattsburg Training Camp.
A War Department telegram yester-
day to Mr.. and Mrs Samuel Gilmore,
of 1912 Fourth avenue, Brooklyn, said
their son, Lieutenant Samuel Gilmore
jr., Of the Marines, had been seriously
wounded. 1t was followed almost i'm
mediately by a cable message from
Lieutenant Gilmore, who said that he
was slightly wounded and not to worry.

utes. The prisoners included twenty
five officers.
Altogether. between the Brenta and
the Piave, 959 prisoners were captured.
Prisoners Taken
South of Montello the enemy crossed
the Piave with considerable forces, but
is being gradually pushed toward the
river by the Italian reaction. On the
lower Plave the enemy passed the river
between Candelu and Zenson loop, in
the region of S. Dona di Piave. The
enemy was Immediately checked and
driven back by counter attack to the
bank of the river. One thousand five
hundred and forty-fve prisoners, in
Guiding colonel. two majors and
forty two other officers, were taken
by the third army.
Altogether, 1000 prisoners, including
eighty-nne officers, were taken by the
Italians and their allies in the first
day Of the struggle which was to have
been great success for the Austrians,
but which resulted in a dismal failure
The Italian army was prepared for
the Austrian attack, and there is con-
fidence that it will be able to break
the force Of the blow.
Throughout the country there is
feeling of tense expectancy. The
eie.FC, oolcHn IdCcS U the peOpIe are
expressive of the seriousness of the
hour: but also Of the pride which is
felt in the army for its splendid stand
all along the difficult battlefront The
churches were more crowded than
usual to-day. throngs of women pray
ing for victory and for the safety Of
those at the frcnt. Many women
brought jewels as offerings.
1t is believed the Austrian general
attack is repetition of the enemy's
man@uvre of last October, when he
took the offensive from Caporetto to
Monfalcone with the intention of dis
guising his main plan Of breaking
through the Alps and forcing the Ital-
ans to retire in the Bainsizza and
Carso regions. Now the enemy's feint
apparently is intended to conceal the
DEVELOPMENT of plan long cherished
by Field Marshal Conrad Won Hoetzen-
dorf, to break through from the high
Asiago Plateau to the Venetian Plain,
thus obligng the Italian army along
the Piave to retire in order to avoid
being caught by an outf1anking move

Italy Reports the
General Situation
Highly Reassurir7g

ROME, June 16--The situation on
the Italian front, in its entirety, seems
very reassuring, says semi-official
note issued tonight. 1t is added that
the great battle which broke out Satur-
day has but begun. Although having
a strength of sixty divisions, the enemy
attacking forces nave not succeeded in
passing the Italian advanced area at
any point
Austrian pressure continues strong
i along the entire front. The enemy is
tacks astride the Brenta and across
the Piave, and it is still possible for
the fighting line to flow backward or
forward.
The enemy based his enterprise on
various factors to assure him VIC
tory, says the semi official note. There
was relatively brief but extremely
violent artillery preparation with gas
shells. This bombardment was for the
purpose of destroying the Italian front
line. and paralyzing the artillery.
-Fhen, under cover of an artificial fog
from bombs and smoke apparatus, the
enemy. in open formation, advanced to
the attack. The enemy placed such
faith in this preparation that he fixed
his objectives for the first days fight
ing more than fifteen kilometres in ad-
vance and planned to descend from the
mountain area and also reach the city
Of Treviso from the Piave River.
Bombardment Frustrated
The enemy's bombardment was frus-
trated by the formidable fire from the
Italian artillery, which destroyed lines
and shelters and made full hits on
massed troops, as we'll as drenched his
battle emplacements with gas. When
the enemy infantry advanced into the
front line zones they found that re-
slstance had been prepared by the
Italian machine guns and they had to
meet counter attack from the Italian
supporting troops. This resulted in
the loss of great part of the advan-
tage he had gained and he left prison
ers and machine guns in the hands Of
the Italians.
This. is what happened to the Aus
trians along the whole front of the
attack. North of Cesuna an advance
group Of British, which had been
passed and surrounded by the Aus
trians, resisted until counter attack
freed them, and at the same time capt
ured 200 prisoners. Southwest Of Neu-
mar the French recaptured strong
point and took 1876 prisoners.

I'm Fighting British
On Italian Front

LONDON, June IL (via Ottawa =
Austro- Hungarian pressure continues
very strong along the entire Italian
front, says Il semi official dispatch
from Rome. The enemy is concen-
tratng his most powerful attacks
astride the river Brenta and across
the Piave. North of the Cesuna an
advanced group of British soldiers,

All accounts agree that the scant-

the Austrians to carry out the Of

offensive was really a series of at
tacks at widely distant points and
delivered at different hours, appar-
emily with the idea of effecting q
surprise.

evident the battle will assume gigantic

enemy is as follows:
"While General Conrad tries to break
through the Italian detences along the
Brenta and come down to Bassano,
cross the Pave and cut the roads
which are protecting the Italian lines
along the river. The enemy hopes,
through great pincer movement of

Austriars, Aided
By Germany, Pour
Troops Into Italy

GENEVA, June 17.-Reports received
here from Buchs and also from several
points along the Swiss -Tyrolese frontier
indicate that the Austrians are aided
by some contingents of Germans and
that the Austrians continue to pour
considerable forces toward Italy.
1t is said that trains from Innsbruck,
Botzen and Trent are crowded with
troops going southwark and that the
ordinary traffic on the railroads has
been suspended.
The new Austro German headouar-
tterss. the report adds, are established

development. Russia was the least
developed of the Entente Powers. Aus
tria is only slightly more developed
industrally than Russia.
The present offensive of Austria
suggests generally the offensive which
kerensky undertook year ago. Rus
sia's allies insisted upon Russia max
ing an attack. Kerensky was hard
pressed at home. He felt that if he
attacked successfully he would get rid
of his domestic enemies. Austria is
in similar, though perhaps not quite
so bad situation as was Kerenskv.
Its dissolution threatens. It's great
ally is insistent. The Hohenzollerns
must have an offensive out of the
Hapsburgs. If the offensive succeeds
then the pressure of revolt at home
is relieved. If it fails then the deluee.
Perhaps the great difference between
Austria and Russia is in the nearness
