The battle for control Of the all
important Montel}o crest Is still
under way as this dispatch is
filed.
The Italians are known to have
made some gains and to have
taken more than 1000 prisoners,
but how extensive their operations
there have been cannot be deter
mined at this time.
The latest reports received at
headquarters showed that Italians
had reached the outskirts OF Ner-
vesa, on the southeastern edge of
Monticello and were fighting to-
ward the river.
Enemy prisoners declare that
the attack in this sector frustrated
an Austrian attack which was
planned to be launched Just an
hour after the Italian assault be-
gan.
Renewed bad weather has

Austrian attacks were repulsed.
I'm the Monticello yesterday the

CITY WOULD take
over CAR SYSTEM

to require a permit for drivers,
rigid inspection of machines, and
such other rules of routing and
schedules as desirable.
Transfers where possible with
city street car lines should be pro-
vided for, fares fixed by the de-
partment in charge, and the ex-
pense of regulation taxed to the
jitneys at SO per machine per
month, the committee recon-
mends. Loading stations are
suggested.
400 Available.
With these regulations in force,
the committee believes that not
less than 400 jitneys, capable Of
transporting $4,000 passengers,
would be in operation within a
very short time.
The licensing of the jitney driv-
ers mutual insurance company has
solved the bonding question for
them. Operation up to this time
has been unsatisfactory and dan
gerous, the committee finds.

We are five months ahead of

These two important facts were
announced by Gen. March, chief
of staff, in his weekly newspaper
conference.
He accorded high praise to the
Americans sharing in the present
struggle. They have done well
and have delivered the goods, he
said.
Especially did he commend the
first regular division under Gen.
Robert L. Billiard for its gallantry
at Cantigny; the Rainbow ma

C. T. Mencher for high grade
work to date; the 26th division
is doing very we'll.
In his praise of the American

COCKTAILS
NO FRIEND
OF GREENE
Especial to The Times.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June %.
Still another theory as to why
Gen. II. A. Green was relieved Of
command of the 91st division on
the eve Of its departure for France
was preached here today.
That reason is-Maj. Gen. Geo.
Goethals.
Greene is said to be very much
persona non grata with Goethals.
This GOODNESS is reported to date
back to Panama canal construc-
ton days.
Then Goethals was a colonel in
charge Of the big digging job.
Greene outranked him, but was
in command only OF the military
end of activities. This situation
led, it is reported, to much bad
feeling.
That the bitterness has not all
passed away is freely stated about
the war department.
Now Goethals holds one of the
biggest Jobs in the war depart
ment, and 1t is his word, 1t is
said, that has prevented Greene
from realizing his ambition of 60
ing to France.
