Huns Retire From Mt. Tomba
Region---French Made
Ii Too Hot.
BRILLIANT WEST END,RAID
Petain's Men Leap Forward
500 Yards on a Front
Of Over a Mile.

The enemy has evacuated territory
on the northern mountain front be-
hind Monte Tomba, extending frsm
the Pave river westward. Their de-
Tense lines have now been moved
back to Monte Spinoncia.
Italian patrols making reconnais-
ances in the last few days found that
the enemy patrols and sentinels had
been Withdrawn and later discovered
that the enemy had abandoned the
entire region.
This retreat is a sequel TO the bril-
liant victory French troops recently
obtained on Monte Tomba inasmuch
as the enemy's positions thereafter
became untenable.
The retirement Of the enemy is i'm.
portant as showing that he has given
up his effort to force a passage TO The
Venetian plains by the way of Monte
Tomba and the west bank of the
Pave, at least for the present. He is
now constructing defensive works in
the rear.
The French on Monday executed
brilliant raid on the German lines east
of Vienne-le-Chateau, near Four-de.
Paris, along front of 1900 yards.
An intense artillery preparation made
he progress Of the troops easy and
hey were able to destroy all enemy
works, shelters and mine galleries
'efore returning to their own line.
fifteen prisoners were captured by
he French, as well as three machine
uns. The French suffered few cas-
alties and none killed.
All OF the participants in the raid
eclared that the eunners' war was
iagnifcent, not only as regards de-
iruction but in the manner in which
completely silenced the enemy ar
llery.

At meeting Of the retail grocery

quainted with each other and discuss
matters pretaining to their business
that would be great help in the fu-
tue. As this was the first "Ge'-to-

and as they heretofore had no formal
organization, il was requested that
Secretary Garner Dalton preside at
this meeting.

London, June 20. Correspondents

stance In which an enemy submarine
commander, after sinking a BRUSH
vessel, amazed the survivors by giving

with the brutality or Indifference TO

the ships company in getting away
from the sinking ship.
MANY of the crew had been wound
ed, especially among the engine-room
force With difficulty the injured
were placed in the boats.
The submarine suddenly appeared
nearby and the commander came on
deck. He noticed the wounded, and
calling the boats alongside his craft,
he went inside, returning with pan
dages and liniment which he handed
to the surprised officers in charge OF
the boats. This act of kindness saved
several lives.
A steamers smoke was seen on the
horizon and the U-boat made off rap
