'AUSTR|ANS RESUME

By the ASsocat ted Press
! ROME. Wednesday, February 1S.-Al-
though the Austrian press in the last
few weeks has been referring to prep
| arations for an offensive which they
say the Italians are making as justi-
fication for the assertion that it is i'm
possible to withdraw either men or
guns TO help Germany in a supreme eff
fort in France, Field Marshal Baroevic,
the Austrian commander, apparently
wishes to bring an end to the period
of inactivity. He is resuming his bat
tering ram tactics in the mountain sec
ton.
In the last three days the Austrians
have engaged in vigorous actions
against the new Italian line in the
Frenzela and Bella valleys. where i'm
portant positions were wrested from
the AuStrians a short time ago.
The enemy preceded his attacks by
violent bombdrdment, but when the
Austrian infartrymen attempted to
press forward, as they did in the Bella
valley. by advancing into the Selle and
kallette woods, they came under the
fire of Italian light and medium ar
ullery and machine guns, which COM
PEELED them to beat retreat with
enormous losses before even reaching
the Italian trenches.
The Austrians met with another and
equally severe check in the Frenzela
valley yesterday.
In the course of this fighting Lieut..
RAMA, an aviator, brought down two
enemy airplanes. Increasing the number
of his victories in aerial encounters to
sixteen.

U. S. GUNS BACK UP
BLOW BY FRENCH

Continued from First Page.)
The Robesonian., 1918-05-30

Finnie Muse, Wayne county man
who has been serving in the State
prison since 1913 on a 15-year SEN
tence upon conviction for criminal
assault, has been pardoned by Gov
ernor Beckett because the woman in
the case died recently and left dy-
ing statement to the effect that she
swore falsely against Muse because
she disliked him and that he was in
no wise guilty of the crime for which
he was being punished. For five
long years the man worked under a
gun, wore felon's stripes and slept
in feion's cell because a spiteful
woman swore away his liberty. TIE
man who suffered thus unjustly has
his freedom restored to him, but that
is all. the Governor can do no more
than hope, in granting the pardon for
crime he did not commit, that in
some way in the divine economy he
may find compensation for the long
and bitter years. And so the man
must pick up the broken threads and
begin all over again. Every expert
ence in life is valuable to a man, and
maybe TIE State figures that when
an innocent man serves term in
prison he ought to get so much of
value from the experience as to make
him feel like paying the State for the
time.
