WAR BEYOND THE TRENCHES
Five Billions viii Be Spent on Siege
and Field Guns--Approved
by War Committee.

Washington. America is ready to
launch big gun programme for three
more years of war. The guns will be
built for the primary purpose OF
slashing the Germanic defenses on the
cast bank of the Rhine They call for
three field armies of 1,375,OOO men
each, or more than 100000 in all.
This is the meaning of the $4,000
100000 Notifications bill which was
reported to the house. 1t reveals the
purpose of Gen. Pershing and the al
lied stats to carry the warfare clear
to the German border and assault the
citadels along the Rhine with 10, II
and 14-inch gunds and 16-inch mortars.
The programme for carrying the
war into the enemy's country was
formulated by Gen. Pershing, ap-
proved by the allied war council in
Paris and by the general staff of the
War Department here.

NEW CHAPTER OF GLORY 10
WRITTEN BY AMERICANS IN
OFFENSIVE.
AUSTRlANS MOVED DOWN

With the American Army in France.
In an attack upon the German lines
on the Marine front the American
troops extended their line northwest
Of Bleleau wood, and 216 prisoners had
been counted, together with a number
Of machine guns and other booty Adj
ditional prisoners were coming in.
The Americans made an irresistible
rush for the complete clearing of the
woods, in which it was learned the
Germans were still occupying a small
strip Of the underbrush.
The attack was preceded by a 49,
hour bombardment from the American
artillery. German prisoners taken pay
tribute to the brilliant dash of the
Americans, declaring the men In the
assaulting party fought like demons.
The Germans were virtually cleared
out Of the Belleau wood several days
ago, but the discovery was made that
under cover Of darkness they had
planted machine guns behind huge
holders in sunken roadway, in shell
holes and in trees in q narrow area on
the edge OF the woods.
II was most difficult to get at them
in these positions, and some fierce
hand.to-hand fighting occurred
Hammer At Austrian Defense

trials badly beaten army to the east
of the Piave has slowed up its re-
treat owing to the lessening pressure
Of the Duke Oostt-'s Third army, while
larger italian forces hammer away at
the Austrian defense in the region of
Mount Grappa, where it Is apparent
that the Italians have taken the often
sive. 1t is believed that tho Italian at
tacks here are to Illustrate the proba-
bic impending offensive for which the
Austrians have been preparing. Con-
siderable ground and many prisoners
have been gained by the Italians.
Under the fire of Italian machine
guns and artillery, which were brought
up rapidly, the Austrian withdrawal
across the Piave soon became disor-
derby ront. 1t is estimated the Aus
trian losses total more than 100000.
On the Monticello the slaughter was
terrific. Bodies Of Asturian troops
were moved down almost in their en-
tirety. At the crossing at Nervesa
both banks of the river were strewn
with dead and dying.
