The raiding party devoted itself for
some time to the destruction of ma

But when the time came to return it
was discovered that a dozen Amer

possibly have been captured. so the
leader of the party decided to wait a
few minutes. Soon the missing men
reappeared, escorting seventeen Ger

They explained that the raid was a

VIENNA. via London, June 1S.-
The number of prisoners taken by the
Austro-Hungarians in their new drive
on the northern Italian front has been
increased to 10000. The guns cap
rured number 120.
The official statement issued today
by the Austrian war office follows:
"On both sides of the River Brenta
the enemy constantly renewed his
vain attacks against our new posi-
tions.
The British attacks south Of Asiago
were just as unsuccessful.
THE number of prisoners has been
increased to 10000. We have captured
120 guns. The booty in mine throwers
and machine guns, as well as other
war material. has not yet been
counted"
1.-THE battle in Venetia is following
it's course. The army of Col. Gen.
Freiherr Won Wurm has gained
ground at numerous points. Its south
wing, fighting stubbornly, has reached
the Fossetta canal.
Col Gen. Archduke Joseph has con-
solidated his successes in the Mon
tello region. Italian counter attacks
broke down. In the three days of
fighting seventy three guns, includ :
ing many of heavy caliber, were cap

the Austrian divisions operating on
the Asiago plateau had as their OBJ
jective for the first day the plain be-
tween Marostica and Bassanc. the
Monte Grappa divisions were ordered
to take the plain between Castel-
franco and Asolo, and the Piaye
troops were told to invest Treviso.
The second phase of the battle is
exceptionally violent. A bridgehead
has been established by the Austrians
on the lower Piave. The Italians con-
tinue to resist heroically the on
slaughts of twelve divisions, which
constantly are being replenished by
reserves concentrated between Suse-
gana and Conegliano. The mass at
tack between Montello and the Piave
is being carried out by twenty-five
frst-line divisions and eight reserve
divisions.
The enemy has concentrated at Fon-

carry off the booty they hoped to find.

Successful Resisting.
By the Associated Press.
ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
June 1S.-The Italians. with their
French and British allies, are success
fully resisting the Austrian onslaught
and are counter-attacking vigorously
everywhere. In addition, Khere is
acute watchfulness for all e1emy
movements, either in the Brenta river
area, the mountains or toward the
plains
Whether the enemy effort upon
Montello plateau is an attempt to
move toward the rear of the famous
Monte Grappa key to the Italian
mountain positions, or else to menace
the Venetian plains and the city Of
Venice, it is certain that the Aus
trians are fighting desperately to hold
what they have so far attained.
The Italian command feels that
while the first great attempt to ad-
vance has been blocked, each day will
bring new efforts, and with each ef-
fort the fighting will be more ardu-

Austrians Face Capture.
LONDON. June 1s. via Ottawa
Reuters correspondent at Italian
headquarters points out that unless
the Austrians can establish solid
bridgeheads where they have crossed
the Piaye and got guns over, especial
ly on to the small section of Mon
tello, which they still hold. probably
the only result of their crossing will
be that they will become prisoners
The failure of the Austrian often
sive in the mountains. the most crit
ical sector. is shown in Italian official
statements. 1t is believed that the
Italians have every prospect of re-
storing the positions on the Piave,
where alone the enemy scored some
success.
The British held the post of honor
in the mountains. and how well they
rose to the occasion is proved by the
remark Of correspondent that "the
results of the enemy attack suggest
that it was the British who carried
out the most successful offensive
The Austrians undoubtedly hoped to
sweep into the plains and crush Italy,

Join The Rifle Club

Every young, middle aged or old man
IN Santa Fe who has any interest In
marksmanship ought to join the Santa Fe
Rifle club. Everyone ought to know, in
these days. how to handle a gun. These
clubs, organized under the approval of the
war department and furnished by that de-
partment with army rifles, offer a splend-
i'd opportunity to every one to familiar
eze himself with the arms used by the
United States military forces and to get
all the pleasure and advantages that rifle
shooting offers as a sport. There is no
more wholesome nor stimulating recreat.
ton than entrance, for instance, into a ma
tional rifle match with all the friendly RI
valry and keen competition that goes with

better discipline for eye and nerve and
brain than rifle Shooting.
There is a distinctly patriotic side to
the rifle club activities nowadays. And it
is a mighty comfortable feeling, after you
get it, to know that you can handle
an arm effectively just supposing that
the need might ever arise for it. There
is no military obligation of any kind con-
nected with joining a rifle club. But there
is a little moral obngatlon for the stay

The New Mexico Central

A meeting of taxpayers has been called
by the Chamber of Commerce to discuss q
tentative proposition made by the prospec-
tive buyers of the New Mexico Central
looking to q compromise Of taxes in this
county.
Everyone is in favor of a program Of re-
construction for this road and Santa Fe
particularly in any program which contem-
plates retaining Santa FEES Importance as
a terminal point.
Meanwhile it should be remembered that
the court, the receivership and the director
general of American railroads still intervene
between the present status and a condition
where any concrete proposition can be made.
Hence any discussion must be on a hypo-
thetical basis merely and dealing only with
what Santa Fe would be willing to do in
case of certain developments which are yet
in the future, following a termination Of the
receiyership, a sale and its confirmation
and the decision Of the federal railroad d.

unless we all keep our heads. How many
candidates for office next year, to be re-
elected, will be found making unpatriotic
proGerman pledges in order to secure the

loyal? How many candidates for county
offices will keep their mouths closed, be-
ing afraid to talk in favor of their own

votes? When men are candidates they ma
turaMy wish to be elected, and it has been
the American political way to give out
whispered pledges and enter into secret
combinations or treaties which may be
necessary to secure votes, AS we have
said, next year will be a strenuous year
for patriotism. We suggest that patriotic
societies with or without name be organic
ed where there may not be any today, to
oppose treason and to line up traitors
wherever they may be found. Before the
year 1918 is closed there ought to be thous-
ands of disloyal or semi-disloyal men put
into stockades until the war is over.

A Potato Day Each Week

One of the things needed to help us
win the war right now is special selling
effort behind the potatp-the familiar tuber

OF SO much value to the Kaiser In hold
ing on "over there" Even with General
Bing after him. he recently found time
to issue a medal commemorating the bring
ing of the potato from America to Europe,
Last fall the grocery, trade joined hands
with the Food Administration for a CON
certed drive on potato sales. But unfor-
tunate complications came in the crop.
There was a field frost that hurried dam
aged potatoes to market, and also a delay
n shipments, due to railway congestion.
which put prices too high for free con-
sumption.
Now, most of the baby troubles Of last
years crop seem to be over, and there
are plenty of potatoes In most markets,
with satisfactory supplies coming in.
What we need now, is a dong pull, and a
strong pull, and a pull together on spuds-
grower, grocer and consumer all doing
team work to get good potatoes to mark
ct, and put them on the consumers table
at reasonable prices, and with minimum
cost.

Look over your weekly schedule of de-
~liveries, Mr.. Grocer. Find out which day
is lightest. Make a special price on pc.
tatoes for delivery that day. Get Potato
Day fixed in your community as a weekly
event. 9
The plan of a potato week has been
tried, and it concentrated too much at
tention upon the potato at one time. The
plan Of a potato month was also tried, but
it had drawbacks.
In this new plan of a potato day every
week, Uncle Sam thinks that he has found
the stimulus for steady selling Of potar
toes. One potato day each week makes
no abnormal demands upon the farmer, or
the railroads, and so will not disturb
prices, or cause shortages, or gluts. Ono
potato day a week will enable the retail
grocer to fill up a hollow space In his
sales and delivery service, and keep his
money and his employees busy. One po-
tato day a week will enable the consumer
to use this valuable food article as a bal,
ance In diet, and reduce living costs, and
conserve wheat and meat for our fighters,
and the Allied nations,
