SWEDEN NOT

aEandan, N. D., May 13.-GerTnany
is hard pressed for food and other
necessities OF life, and it is her will
ingness to pay big prices for every"
thing that is causing the business
interests Of Sweden to outwardly
espouss tho German cause, according
to Henry Carlson, an old-time resi-
dent Of Mandan, who for the last
eight years has been living near
Stockholm, and who arrived here this
week.
"There is a wide divergence Of
opinion between the aristocratic rui-
ing classes and the business inter-
ests on one hand and the masses on
the other hand" stated Mr.. Carlson
In an interview. THE latter are
sympathizing with the allies, while
the other classes at least openly ia
vor Of the German side Of the war,
for 1T is there that their interests lie.
This is particularly true in Sweden
but not in Norway. though there are
some pro- Germans in Norway"
Mr.. Carlson stated that in crossing
the waters, it was very apparent that
England holds the whip hand and
rules the seas, and that the stricteSt
examination is made of the effects Of
every passenger, and the passengers
themselves are put to the severest
test. This, he said, raises a protest
among some Of the wealthy people
who are coming across. but it Is done
only in the endeavor to prevent Ger
man spies from getting through, and
the spread OF German propaganda,
Mr. Carlson owned a farm six
miles northwest of Mandan years
ago. Mrs. Carlson returned with him
from Sweden and is now visiting rel
attVes in St. Paul.

Description of the Mountain
Front on Which the Attack
On Italy May Be Launched

Headquarters Italian Army, April
25.-tCorrespondence of the Associ-
ated PreSs) is now being
conferred on the mountain front, for
all the Indications are that this Is
to bottle main scene Of coming oper-
atoms. instead Of the fiat river coun-
try to the east. With these oper-
atoms perhaps not far off. it is well
to take q survey of this mountain
section, for its main points are likely
to be heard Of very often in the COM
ing months. Already along these
mountain roads there Is the stir Of
great forces of men. guns and horses
moving into position. and one al
most feels that a great battle is al
ready on.
The Tridentine Alps. which stretch
across northern Italy, form natu
raj fertilization between the two OPP
posing lines, and it is in the lower
section of these ranges that the mill
tary operations are now unfolding
While it is a front of several hun
dred miles from the Adriatic up to
the Swiss frontier. yet part of this
stretch is impenetrable mountain
peaks covered with eternal snow,
and there are practically only five
lines Of approach where breaks in
the mountain heights permit mill
tary operations to be carried on.
Lines of Approach.
These five lines of approach or
communication through the Trident
inc Alps are the valley regions,
known as the Valtellina, meaning
see saw, from it's winding character,
which leads down to Lake Como and
toward Milan; second. the Val Cam
onica. leading southwark toward
irH Wo1
Which comes down just east Of the
Adamello region. with its line Of
peaks, and skirts along the west
shore Of Lake Garda; fourth, Val
Lagarina. which follows the course
OF the Adige river on the east Of
Lake Garda, and comes down from
Trent toward Verona; and fifth, the
Val Sugana, which. follows the
course of the Brenta river and winds
around the Asiago region down past
Bassano.
These five main highways through
tho mountains become more import
ant from a military standpoint, as
they come eastward toward the Ash
ago and Brenta region. All the chief
pressure has been in the easterly re-
gion in the past, and the indications
at present are that it will be in this
region.
The Fighting Ground.
The great fighting ground, then,
would be along the two valleys on
the east, Val Lagarina and Val Su-
CANA, and chief attention should be
centered on them and their neigh
boring heights OF Asiago, the Crap
pa and Mount Tomba. Both of them
come down from Trent. the Austri-
an storm center which sends forward
troops and supplies through both
these valleys to the mountain fronts
beyond. From Trent the enemy has
railroads down both these valleys.
The Lagarina valley comes
straight south to Verona and the
open plain. 1t was down here that
the enemy made his first rush two

Three Grades of
Soldiers Medals
CRy Associated prass.N

Washington, May 13.--The war
departments plan for awarding
honor decorations to soldiers dis
tinguishing themselves in the service
was submitted today in an admins
tration bill forwarded by Secretary
Baker as substitute for measures
pending In congress.
The decorations proposed are a
medal of honor, a distinguished SER
vice cross and a, distinguished SER
vice medal. All decorations under
the bill could be awarded by an army
commander in the field. AS no Sec
ond decorations could be awarded
the bill proposes additional bars or
other insignia to be worn on the en-
blem previously won.
A pay increase OF So monthly to
enlisted men for each decoration and
additional bar added would be given
by the bill.

years ago, pushing from Reverto
west toward Mount Pasubio. He
was driven back then. and all the
indications are that he will be held
again If he comes that way.
The most important approach Is
by way of the Val Sugana. or Brente
river. From it's headwaters neal
Trent the Brenta makes a wide cir
cult before 1t comes down to the
open plain at Bassano, and it is
within this circuit that the Asiagc
plateau and the hardest fighting
ground lies. The Austrian railway
from Trent comes down the valley
to Primolano, about 20 miles above
Bassano, thus keeping up steady
flow Of men and supplies. That is
why the Italian airplanes have CEN
tered attention on Primolano, which
is often mentioned in the commu-
niques as having its railway stations
bombed.
The Asiaao Region.
The bomb-swept and deserted
town of Asiago is the center of this
battle region enclosed by the Val
Sugana and the Brenta river. The
enemy lines run just below the town
Near by are Mount Val Bella, Sasso
Rosso and Melago, all the scene OF
desperate fighting when the enemy
tried to come down the west bank
of the Brenta. The river itself comes
through a rocky def1le. so part of the
approach is over these intervening
mountains. which reach down to the
river valley
This Asiago region is cut by two
other local valleys. which are a most
important part of the mountain op-
erations, though they are not main
lit ,1rrIa
are the Valarsa and the Astico val
legs, which wind irregularly down
toward Vienna. Much is likely to
be heard of this section in the COM
ing operations.
East Of the Brenta river is anoth-
err part of this \same Val Sugana
which is also desperate fighting
ground. Here the enemy has made
his main push to get down to the
open plain, and here he advanced
furthest, toward Bassano, yet the
splendid bravery Of the Italians held
him in the mountains through the
winter. He Is still there, around
Mount Pertico. Mount Asolone, Col
Caprille and Col della Berretta. This
is bloody fighting ground and it will
doubtless be heard from very often
as the operations develop.
Still further east comes the dom
mating massive of Mount Grappa,
midway between the Brenta and Pr
ave rivers. 1t is strongly held by
the Italians and is one Of the great
citadels of Italy's natural mountain
defense. Near it. rising from the Pr
ave river. comes Mount Tomba,
where the French troops made such
a brilliant drive last December. The
enemy has been comparatively quiet
in this region, all the indications
being that he is centering attention
further west in the Asiago region
and down, the Brenta valley.
This summarizes the mountain
fighting ground on the Italian front,
where there is gathering activity
and where 1t is believed the big
fighting is going to occur.
