Big Gun Duels when one
Fought in Mountains. ouietude h e
means the lack of major offensive &C
|tions-still prevails. The Austrians con-
tinue their preparations for their ex-
pected main blow between Aisago and
the Brenta river. which affords them the
best chance of getting down onto the
Italian plains. Austrian artillery has
been active. but the diligent Italians
have replied, measure for measure, and.
in fact. through the instrumentality of
their big guns. have interfered greatly
with Austrian plans of concentration
all aloneA the mountain 'front.' Several
Austrian Units moving behind their lines
have been dispersed. Artillery duels
burst out here and then there. but in
fantry drives remain for the future.
Special writer's with the Italian armies
believe that it is the Teutonic plan to
drive against the Italians simultaneous
iy with the proposed Teutonic offensive
on the western front. That the Aus
TRANS do not anticipate retreat from
their present positions possibly Is indi-
Gated by their thorough preparations
behind their lines. Roads are being wild
ened and storehouses of somewhat per-
manent character are being erected.
| The. Austrians have shown some ac-
tivity on the middle and lower Piave. but
have gained nothing. They likewise are
flooding the Italian trenches with propa-
ganda. matter, consisting chiefly OF lies
as to economic and military conditions
prevailing in entente countries. The
obtusenessi of the Teuton is demon
strated in this action alone. The Italians
have seen the results of hardening to
any arguments .or entreaties that may
be distributed by the Austrians They
remember their forced retreat from the
Isonzo The Italian soldier has been
Thoroughly educated up to the evils of
such Teutonic methods. and. inasmuch
as the same arguments are being ad-
vanced now as were advanced before
the break on the Isonzo. it is hardly
possible the Austrians will succeed as
they once did.
The italian people are showing greater
interest in the allies since allied armies
began Ashting on their soil. Through
the medium of this allied aid patriotism
and belief in the business of the present
struggle have increased wonderfully in
the past two months. The very fact that
allied armies are fighting on Italian soil
is proof conclusive to the italian mind
that the allies recognize the business of
italian territorial claims, and will see
to it that they are accorded when the
various groups Of belligerents lay down
the sword and assemble about the peace
table.

For when you come right down te

The report urges moving the clocks
ahead one hour as a war measure. for
the reason that such action would ex-
pedite the training of soldiers, and
speed up plants turning out war neces-
stiles. especially the shipyards.

lieve the strain at the time Of great
est fatigue and improve working COM
ditions. particularly in industries where
accurate eyesight is essential It would
materially cut down Industrial acci-
dents. which statistics show occur most
frequently in the late afternoon. when
human efficiency is at low ebb."
Health and morals generally among
the twenty million workers OF the
country would be greatly improved by
beginning the work day an hour earlier.
the report continues. Working girls
would go home by daylight. Parents
would have another hour to spend with
their children. Bills for gas and cleo
trio light would be reduced and outdoor
recreation stimulated.
Saves Fuel and Light.
The chamber also calls to the atten-
ton of Congress the amount of coal
and other fuel substances that could
be saved annually by the enactment OF
daylight-saving legislation.
Great Britain. France, Italy. Germany
and eight other nations have adopted
daylight saving since the outbreak of
the war" said A. Lincoln Filene of
Boston. chairman OF the committee that
prepared the report for the United
States Chamber of Commerce. land in
all of them it is a great success. In
England the saving in the use of ar
tificial light and fuel is estimated at
$2.500,000 for the summer months alone.
In France the saving has been esti-
mated to be 10 per cent Of the coal
ordinarily consumed by the gas and
electric undertakings. Adopted as .
war measure, it has resulted in such in
creased efficiency and such marked
economy that there is no question of q
return to the old ways after the war"
