Italians and Allies Are
 Gaining Upper Hnad on Whole Battle Line,
ENEMY IS THROWN
 ON THE DEFENSIVE
American Airmen Aid Latins in Bombing POnt0Ons Across the Piave Which Has Become Fur.
 bnlent by Rains
Associated Press Summary. ]

I y.
 The barrier the Italians and their allies have raised along the great battle. arch from the Asiago plateau to the sea remains insuperable to the Austrians
 The operations by which the enemy had hoped to press his way from the mountain peaks in the Alps and across the Piave river to the plains of Ven tia thus far have met with almost to- tai failure
 Where the enemy was able in the mountains to press back slightly the allied defenders Of the front in the first day of their offensive, the ground has been regained. Where he crossed the Piave river and appal entity was threatening the plains with invasion he now is being sorely harassed at every point by the Italians
 Allies Have Upper Hand.
 The battle is not stalemate. Tn the mountains the Italian, British and iFrench troops seemingly have the upper hand, along the Piave from the MontellO plateau to the mouth of the river east of Venice. the Italians notwithstanding vicious thrusts by the enemy, apparently are gaining the up- per hand
 Little fighting of moment is in pro- gness in the mountain region but all along the Piave battles of great vio- fence are in progress with the invad- CTS meeting resistance upon which they had not counted and being stead fly pressed back toward the west ern bank of the now turbulent river, which has swept away many Of their pontoon bridges in the center Of the line leaving them in rather a precari- ous situation.
 Piaye Menaces Austrians. Fresh rains have forced the river well out of its banks and the ques- tion of sending Austrian reinforce ments to the western side or con- veying food and military supplies to the men along the border of the plains has become critical one.
 Hoping to alleviate the situation the Austrians again have delivered at tacks on the Montello plateau, the keystone to the plain, but like pre- ,vious thrusts,, they met with repulse. \ Between the Treviso railroad and the Benson loop the Italians have lpressed back the enemy closer toward the Piave while at Losson near the Rosetta canal. enemy attacks were re- pulsed. Further down the stream a short distance from where 1t empties into the Adriatic Sea the Italians, in a daring assault north of Gorgellazzo, pierced the enemy front. took 200 prisoners and ! firmly held their ground against the counter attack.
 Tn the violent air fighting in pro gress along the front American aviat- ors have joined the allied airmen and are performing daring feats. Among the enterprises carried out by them has been the bombing of pontoon bridges thrown across the Piave.
 Southwest of Soissons, near Fave rolles, and little farther south. near Hautvenes, the French in one of their daily attacks have bettered their posi- tions and taken prisoners from the Germans. M
 In the region of Arras and Albert, the British likewise have made gains and also repulsed German attacks near Morris, on the Flanders front.

An Atlantic Port, June 21.-An American troop transport, formerly a a German liner, which returned this week from a French port, was sub- jected to a shell fire attack from a German submarine two days out from the port of departure, it became known today.
 The transport escaped by superior speed, although a running battle last ing more than an hour took place, in which more than 100 shots were fired by the two vessls.
 The submarine appeared to have one gun that outranged any carried by the transport and from this gun there were counted 35 shots, none of which hit the American ship. The submarine did not venture close enough to use a torpedo and finally gave up the pursuit.

preciate what home and mother Is
until we are separated like this.
But believe me ] am making good
good at my work as | do the best
can. Some fellows think that be-
cause they are not paid much that
they don't have to turn out good
work; but they forget we are at
war, and not here for money.
Will try to explain how condi-
tions are here without saying some
thing | should not tell You see we
are all in a company and compa-
ny has ouly few Sargeants and
Corporals, while the biggest part OF
us fellows if we were in the regu-
lar quartermaster corps would all
draw Sargeants position and pay.
Just to illustrate i am under a
Colonel l don't know how they got
my name. but yesterday the officer
in charge of another branch asked
to have me assigned to his COM
mand. But they claim they need me
where | am, in fact need more men,
SO don't think the Colonel will OK.

as l don't think there is the least
chance to go to the front in our Co.
and Iwould start right out as a Sar-
geant with pay from $4,000 to
$4,000 per month, while now, you
see, l am ouly first class private.
Another officer wants me in his
company, and told me that if
made good l would get at least a
Sargeancy, but l would have to be
released from my present work,
which is hard to do at present, so
| don't know how it will come out.
The chances are that l VIII have to
stay right where l am for sometime
l don't care in one sense of the
word as l didn't join for promotions.
but if they want to give me more
responsibilities ! would be glad to
do all can,
BY the way you will probably get

have them all paid for.

TESTED COWS PAY BETTER
SAYS GOV. DAIRY EXPERT

The University of Idaho Exten-

Citations. The author is F. r. Cam
mack, field dairyman.
At a recent sale at Buhl, some
of the cows which were in the Pho

for nearly $500. Why should they
be worth that price? Because they
were pure bred and were tested by
the Association so that it was not
guesswork nor gambling to buy
them. but good business
We need more of such associa-
tions in order that we may elimi-

Such organizations are the means
of greater progress and in addition
they are needed especially today be-
cause of the higher prices of feeds
and dairy products. The Pioneer

The farmer who would succeed
must not rob his soil, but each. year
ought to see 1t increase in fertility
because of the fertilizing value of
manure wisely applied. Let each
year find your farm growing in fer
tility instead of the soil becoming
impoverished. Build up the land
by going into pardners with the
cows and horses. The accumula-
tion of manure around the barn is
crime, and no real farmer per-
mits it.
If you can't afford manure
spreader on your farm use pitch
fork. For nothing pays like lit
tie fertilization. we care not how
good your soil. The best evidence
is found in fields of grass where
stock have been pastured. Figure
out why those rank spots here and
there through the field Manure
