TEUTONS HALTED ALONG THE WHOLE
 ITALIAN FRONT
Allies Have Upper Hand in Mountains, Gain on Piave- Fierce Fighting Continues on Lower Part of Line.

The barrier the Italians and their allies have raised along the great bat tle are from the Asiago plateau to the sea remains insuperable to the Austrians.
 The operations from which the enemy had hoped to press his way from thee mountain peaks in the Alps and across the Piave river to the plains of Venetia thus far have met with almost signal failure. Where the enemy was able in the mountains to press back slightly the allied de- lenders of the front in the first day of their offensive the ground has been regained; where he crossed the Piave river and apparently was threatening the plains with invasion, he now is being sorely harassed at every point by the Italians.
 The battle is not stalemate. In the mountains the Italians, British and French troops seemingly have the upper hand; along the Piave from the Montello plateau to the mouth of the river east of Venice the Italians, not withstanding vicious thrusts by the enemy here and there, apparently are gaining the upper hand.
 Little fighting of moment is in pro- gress in the mountain region, but all along the Piave battles of great vio- lence are in progress with the invad- CTS meeting resistance upon which they had not counted and being stead fly pressed back toward the western 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 pre- carious predicament.
 Fresh rains have forced the river well out of the banks and the question of sending Austrian endorsements to the western side or conveying food and military supplies to the men all ready on the border of the plains has become a critical one
 Hoping to alleviate the situation, the Austrians again have delivered attacks on the Montello plateau, the keystone to the plains. but like pre- vious thrusts, they met with repulse. Between the Treviso railroad bridge and the Benson loop the Italians have pressed back the enemy closer toward the Piave while at Losson, near the

PRODUCTIVE JOB
 OR UNIFORM FOR
 ALL REG|STRANTS
General CrOwder Amplifies His Work or Fight" Regulations Sports, Amusements, Clerks Etc, NOn-PrOducers.

Washington, June 21. -Instruc- tions to draft boards were issued to- day by Provost Marshal General Crowder explaining and simplifying the work or fight order, under which after July 1, all men of draft age, regardless of their classification, must engage in employment held to be productive or join the army.
 When it has been determined a person in deferred classification is an idler or is engaged in non-pro- ductive service," says the instruc- tions, "the classification and order number of such person will be with drawn and he will be immediately inducted into the military service"
 Several specific rulings are made as to the effect of the order on cer- tain classes named as non-produc- tive. In the case of sports and amuse- ments the language of the order is repeated with emphasis, but without mentioning professional baseball, an announcement concerning which has been awaited with keen and wide spread interest. In making public the instructions, however, officials of General Crowder's office said base ball playing "at present" is regarded as non-productive, though there will be no ruling until an individual case has been appealed from a local board.
 Managers, cooks, clerks and other employees not engaged in the actual serving of food and drink in public places are exempted from the section declaring such service of food and drink non-productive. Store execu- tives, managers, superintendents and heads of special departments, travel ing salesmen, registered pharmacists, delivery drivers and men doing heavy work are not included among the clerks and salesmen of mercantile es- tablishments classed as non-produc- tive.
 Chauffeurs public and private" are eliminated from the on-productive classes unless they engage in work held to be on-produetive in addition to their mechanical duties.
 The boards are directed to apply common sense in considering with drawals of deferred classification privileges and to aid registrants in making necessary changes in employ ment by furnishing lists of those sum- moned for examination to the United States employment service.
