ROBINSON'S ELEPHANTS
PRIDE OF THE CIRCUS

The Oldest. heaviest and most IN
telligent herd of elephants in the
world are coming to Augusta Satur-
dan. June % as the special feature Of
the big mcragerie with the John
Robinson Circus. These elephants
have been in America since before
the Civil War and have been seen by
more millions of persons than any
other herd of pachyderlns brought to-
gether.
They are of the massive Burmah
family of elephants. and these, show
men say. are the most intelligent of
all their kind. The elephants. besides
being a feature in the street parade,
are also one of the biggest acts with
the circus. For half a century they
have been trained until some of the
things they do are amazing and al
most human.
Be it said TO their credit, they are
good elephants. None has ever
seriously hurt any one. and they are
as affectiopate with their trainers as
any other pet may be. They do a
maze of work around the show and
are justly entitled to the cognomen
The grand old men of the Circus"
This herd of elephants is only one
Of many features in the John Robin
son menagerie. which is said to be
the most complete with any circus in
the world. On show day tickets will

Cannon Left Behind = Austrian Troops Sought
to Employ Machine Guns to Set Up
Barrage Fire.
Italian Attack Insistent All Along Line From
MOntello to Mouth of River - Americans
in Notable Part.
(Associated Press)

Italian Army Headquarters, Sunday June %
Night). - The great retreat by the Austrians
along the Piave front began under cover of dark
ness on Saturday night. The retreating troops
left their cannon behind them
Italian detachments are pursuing the enemy
east of the Piave.
Austrian troops left to cover the retreat used
their machine guns to set up barrage fire.
When it was observed that the Austrians had
begun retrograde movement the Italians began
to attack virtually all along the Piave line from
Montello on the north well towards the mouth Of
the river. The attack was quickly pressed and
became more insistent, accompanied by violent
artillery fire.
The number Of guns left behind by the Aus
trians as they retreated has not been computed,
but is said to be very great
The work of the American aviators who ap-
peared on the front last week for the first time
contributed notably to the disorganization of the
Austrian forces which had crossed the Piave, ac-

ENGINEER ASLEEP AT
POST OWING TO ILLNESS
Michigan Central Attorney Ex-
plains Crash of Empty Troop
and Circus Trains.
tAssociated Press.)

Hammond Ind, June 24.-Attorney
Charles J. Mct'adden, representing the
Michigan Central, issued a statement
today explaining that Engineer Alonzo
Sargent, of the empty troop train
which crashed into a circus train near
Gary Saturday, was asleep, owing to
illness, and did not see the signals of
danger. Sargent, he said, remained
near the wreck for six hours, and then,
being worn out, left for Kalamazoo.
At the inquest Attorney McF'adden
said the engineer was asleep for three
miles.
Gustav Klauss Sargents fireman.
testified that he was busy shoveling
coal almost to the moment of the ac-
Cident He saw a red flare burning
and heard the fusee which Oscar
Timm, fiagman. said he threw, hit the
cab window on the engineers side.
Two minutes later the crash came, he
said Conductor X. w. Johnson and
Brakeman Curtis Aust. of the circus
train, testified that the danger signals
were plainly visible against a clear
sky.
1t was promised that Sargent would
appear tomorrow and recess was taken
until that time.

Not Sighted Until Vessel
Was Struck.

Washington, June 24.-Sinktng or an
allied transport under American char
ter on June is about 700 miles east OF
the Delaware capes was reported to-
day to the navy department.. Inc
TRANSPORT had no troops aboard ana
was westward bound.
Reports indicate that the submalln3
was not seen until after the toiped9
struck the ship. The crew took to the
boats after the vessel settled :nd it
was futile to use the guns. The | =
boat appeared on the surface and fired
nineteen shots into the ship.
Three Boats Missing.
Three boats with about 81 members
Of the crew are missing. The crew OF
14S got away from the vessel in seven
boats, four of which have been landed.
The total rescued so far is given as 81
men. Two boatloads arrived by steam
er at New York, one by steamer at
Hampton Roads, and one by sailing
vessel at Bermuda.
Under an agreement with the Brit
ish admiralty the navy department is
not permitted to announce the name
of the vessel sunk. Unofficial reports
have reached here from New York
that she was the Dwinsk, a British
steamer formerly under the Russian
flag.
In view Of the fact that the vessel
was attacked far outside the European
zone of submarine activities, some Of
fcials here think she may have en-
countered n submarine heading for
home after participating in the raid on
the American coast.

Austrian Offensive Turned Into Retreat From
Montello to Sea by Steadfast Tactics
of Defenders.
Awakening of the Italian Morale of Even More
Moment Than Enemy's Defeat-Eight Days
Heavy Fighting Turns for Allies.
ASSOCIATED Press)

Disaster seems to be written in the news of
the Austrian defeat along the Piave
Unable to force his way farther than the i'm
mediate vicinity of the west bank of the river, and
with bridges thrown across the stream swept
away by the swirling waters of the flood pouring
down from the mountains the enemy began a
precipitous retreat Saturday night.
So hasty was his withdrawal that he left a
good many cannon on the western bank of the
PiaVe while his retreating infantry columns, ac-
cording to news dispatches are already being
pressed by italian detachments thrown over the
easterly side of the stream.
Italy's victory over the Austrans on the Piave
front appears likely to assume the proportions of
averitabe triumph for the Italians and disaster
of great magnitude for the defeated enemy.
Already it is announced in official dispatches
from Rome the Austrians have lost As 900 men in
prisoners and great quantities of material, while
the extent of their other casualties may be indi-
Gated by the thousands of bodies floating in the
waters of the swollen river
Shattered on the rock of italian resistance
the Austrian offensive has turned into retreat,
and from Montello to the sea the enemy is hurry
ing back across the Pave before the closely pur-
suing Italians.
Austria's defeat is being hailed throughout
Italy and allied countries not so much because of
the Italian victory but because of the awakening
OF the Italian morale which was shaken severely
last fall by the Austro- German offensive Hold
ing the final barriers to the Venetian plain and
Lombardy the Italians by their steadfast resist
ance during eight days of heavy fighting turned
the great enemy onslaught into a disorderly
repulse.
