Await Second Phase of Drive.

Italian Headquarters, Thursday June 20.-The second phase of the Austrian offensive, featured by attacks to the right and left of Vlstagna, along the Brenta river and in the mountains, should logically begin soon, now that the effort on the Piave has failed. It is felt that if the Austrians do not renew heir efforts to penetrate to the plains through the Brenta region and taking Monte Grapha it would be an acknowledgment of defeat and their inability to carry out the ambitious plan launched week ago.

LIEUT.. BAYLIES FALLS
 BEHIND GERMAN LINES
New Bedford Man Brought Down in Battle Against
 Four Huns.

Paris, June 21.--First Lieut.. Frank L. Bavlies an American member of the French flying corps, has been missing since June r, when his ma chine fell in flames six miles within the German lines. Baylies' home was in New Bedford, Mass.
 Leading American ace in the French flying corps, Baylies was downed during an unequal fight with four German machines. With Ser geants Dubonnet and Macari of the Stork Escadrilie he had finished sev- eral hours patrolling and they were about to return at twilight when they sighted four single-seate airplanes, which they mistook for British ma- chimes.
 But they were German and they seized an opportunity to attack Bay lies simultaneously. The enemy had the advantage of position and num- Der but Baylies put up a game fight. He attempted to take the. offensive but his machine caught fire and fell after a few moments about six miles within the German lines.
 Sergeant Macari thinks that Lieut.. Bayles may have had a good land ing if he escaped death in the flames of his burning machine.
 From February 19, 1918, up to June ', Lieut.. Baylies had gained 12 aerial victories and had been pro- noted from corporal to sergeant and then to first lieutenant On June 1 he was awarded the Cross of The Le- zion of Honor and he had been cited in French army orders several times previously. He was 22 years old. Joining the American field ambu- | lance in February, 1916, Baylies served in it in France, Serbia and Macedonia. Rejected for the Ameri- 1 can aviation corps because of defec- | tive vision, he was accepted by the l French army and rapidly gained q l reputation as an intrepid and suc- l cessful airman.

Complaints were made to the health and charity officials that the woman was neglect ing her two children, and years of age, and was liable to dissipate the equity in the siN-tenement block left by her husband. The case came to the attention of the health officials on a complaint that the children were being neglected. They were not get ting nourishment and they were with out clothing. According to the health department information, the children had not been to school since last Oc- tober. As the health department had no authority in the premises the mat ter was referred to the charity de- partment. Investigators visited tho home and tried to bring about inn proved conditions. The efforts of the social service workers were to no avail and finally the charity depart ment officials presented the facts in the probate court and it was decided to bring an action for the appoint ment of a conservator. The purpose was to protect the interests and well fare of the children. The writ was given to Deputy Sheriff Stockwell this morning and he immediately proceed- ed to serve the paper.

went slowly, for none Of them had the
strength to hurry. Fortunately there
were few providers within the lines,

the mouth of the well, then lowered
himself once more into 1t. Lighting
his candle, he made "a careful exami-

enlarge the crevice so as to use his
