These estimates have been made

The second question was the question

ROME, June 18.-The Italians

Austrians are being held by the
fierce resistance of the Italian
troops, the war office announces.
North of Montello the Italians
have strengthened their position
along the river line as far as
Casa Serena.
On the western portion of the
Asiago plateau the Italians have
retaken Raeo and Pizzo Heights,
and have captured 300 prisoners.
Everywhere the Italians are
holding their own, and at some
points even pushing the enemy

to the plan at a conference with
General Crowder.
1t is expected that congress
will be asked to pass the neces-
sary notifications as speedily
as possible that will provide for
the registration of the additional
men, and that all the war ma
chinery of the government will
be speeded up to meet the new
program.
1t is pointed out that by the
time the men provided for under
the enlarged plan are ready to
proceed across the water the
ship building program of the
government will have progress
ed to a point where the addi-
tional shipping needed to carry
the greater number of troops

WASHINGTON, June 49,
The draft age limits will be ex-
tended, probably to 18 and 45
years. Secretary of War Baker
has been persuaded that this
step is necessary.
He announced today that he
would approve any change in the
selective service act necessary to
raise an army of the size now
believed to be required for meet
ing the German hosts.
The American and allied mill
tary leaders are now convinced
that the United States must
place an army of at Ieast 5,OO0,-
900 men in the field if victory is
to be won. This will be possible
with the extension of the age
limits indicated.

MYSTERIOUS MAN
ATTEMPTS TO
CROSSLINE
HAS RIFLE WRAPPED
IN PACK OF CLOTHES
.-.ss.zzzna
Placed Under Arrest, He Claims
to Be Mexican-AuthOri-
ties Alert.

Carrying a big bundle OF
clothing in which was secreted a
heavy army rifle of German pat
tern, Francisco Hermoso was
placed under arrest last night
because he was seeking informa-
ton as to how to find his way
across the international line.
Former Policeman Soto ap-
pretended the man. Hermoso,
who was a passenger on the Tue
son-Nogales stage, left the stage
near the cemetery and went to
Soto's house to inquire about the
roads to the border. His ques-
tions aroused Soto's suspicious,
and he volunteered to pilot him.
"Where are you going?" asked
the stranger, when they had
proceeded a little distance.
Down town." replied Soto.
"Oh, MOI" answered the other.
"I'm not going down town"
"Oh, yes, you are" retorted
Soto.
When the other demurred, and
showed an inclination to resist
with force if necessary, Soto
called on a neighbor to help, and
marched the captive down to the
police station.
There the rifle came to light
when the bundle was searched;
and Hermosa was promptly lock-
ed up.
While the man gave a Mexi-
can name and claimed to belong
near Chihuahua, some of the Of
ificials entertain a theory that he
is not a Mexican, or at least not
full-blooded Mexican, but that
he is wholly or partly German.
He is about 35 or 40 years OF
age, speaks excellent English,
and his Mexican is faulty for a
man who is Mexican born. He
looks somewhat like a German,
also.
There is also much speculation
as to why he was trying to enter
Mexico with a gun OF that char
acter, and some of the officials
advanced the theory that he was
a rebel emissary, possibly one OF
a group, who are seeking to get
into Mexico with arms and at
tempt to start a movement
against the existing government.

WASHINGTON, June 49,
AS a result of the refusal of
President Carleton of the West
ern. Union to abide by the de-
cision of the war labor board, it
was the sense of the cabinet
meeting today to favor govern
ment control of the telegraph
lines of the entire country, also
the telephones.
The decision of the president,
regarding the question of gov
ernment control of these two
great public services, is expect
ed within a few days.
The next move of the admins
tration will be to forward Presi-
dent Carleton's letter to the war
! labor board for reconsideration.
If the board rules that President

that additional places would have
to be found to take care of the
work.
The garbanzos will be weighed
before the sacking commences
and then will be weighed after
the sacking is completed and the
garbanzos reloaded into the car.
1t is known that the railroad
company promised the garbanzo
shippers 25 cars a day, and that
the latter urged the necessity
for more cars. If 25 cars of
bulk garbanzos should be
brought in daily here for sack
ing it would take a large force
to take care of the work.
Garbanzo buyers have esti-
mated that 100000 sacks of gar
banzos will come up from Mexico
in bulk, and they will all be
sacked here at NogaleS.
