To Go to Europe.

Prof. Joseph L. McMillia, who has
been superintendent of the city's school
for the past five years, has accepted
oversee duty with the Y. M. C. A. and
will probably sail for Europe 1907 after
the present school term is out. as he
felt it his duty to remain with his work
here until the session was out. Prof,
McMillin became interested in the work
when he was chairman of the central
committee of Noxubee in the drive for
the War Y. M. C. A. fund last year
and offered his servises then in case
they needed men this spring. He is
peculiarly CITED for the work and there
is no doubt he will make good.

denced last week by Mr.. E. d. Scales,
who received 1926 for two calves, one

owns a herd of cows any breeder could
be proud of, and his herd probably con

Especial Gable to The Tribune)

LONDON, June 18.-According
to the dispatches from the Italian
front Monday night, the battle
which has been developing three
full days has resulted in one ad-
vantage to the enemy. This was the
capture on r1ontello of ground
right up to the summit of that
isolated hill midway of the two Sec
tors into which the eighty-five-mile
front attacked is divided.
The most critical of these was
between Lake Garda and the Piave.
Here the danger point was the
Asiago plateau, held by British,
French and Italian troops. Any first
rate success here, even if it did not
break the line but only compelled a
short retirement, would put the
Austrian forces across the main line
on communications of the Italian
army, and woud imperil the whole
of their forces.
The enemy has excellent oppor-
tunities, moreover, for attacking
here, because he has good railway

Hilaire Belloc's View of the Battle

and road communications to feed
his front. 1t is the only good rail-
way communication through the
on this front.
Nevertheless he failed so very
badly on the first day that he has
not renewed his attempt there.
On the Piave front, where the re-
tirement is less dangerous, he sue
ceeded, in the very first development
of the battle, in crossing at three
places where the roads and railways
reach the now destroyed bridges. The
use of smoke screens gave him this
advantage, but, according to the
latest dispatches received, he has
not appreciably widened these
bridgeheads. He has been firmly
held on the western banks.
The capture of Montello, however,
just at the point where the noun
tain line reaches the Piave, and the
junction Of the two sectors, is a
serious advantage TO the Austri-
ans. It puts them on the heights to
the south of the main summit of the
Alps and gives them, for the first
time, direct observation right over
the plain.

Fire of Own Guns
To Save His Men
by The Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
ON THE MARINE, June 17.-Second
Lieutenant John T. Bissel. of Pitts
burgh, has been recommended for the
french Legion Of Honor foc distin-
guished gallantry displayed recently
at Chateau Thierry.
The story of his conduct offers a
thrilling example Of an officers dis
regard for his own life in order that
the men under his command might
reach safety. 1t was on June that
Lieutenant Bissel with party of ten
machine gunners were thrown in to help
stem the German advance.
The party were ordered into Chateau
Thierry, where they crossed to the
north bank of the Marne and set up
sver protection they could gather. US
ing boxes, tables and stones. The town
was drenched with shells, but the
Americans held out until the Germans
finally rushed the town and some Of
the enemy crossed bridge to the
southern side Of the river to one side
OF Bissels position. The bridge was
then blown up.
Meanwhile American and French
machine gunners on the southern bank
OF the Marne began a FIRE that swept
the second bridge, Lieutenant Bissel's
only avenue Of escape. The lieutenant
Saw the situation. He left his men in
place OF comparative safety, went out
to the north end Of the bridge and, fac
ing hail of machine gun bullets, got
INTO position where the gunners on
The south side Of the river could see
him.
Bullets sang around him until the
americans and French on the other
side saw that it was an American who
dared to show himself. When the fir
ing ceased Lieutenant Bissel returned
70 the place where he had left his men
and rushed them across the bridge. All
except one reached safety. What hap,
pened to him is unknown.

And Rifles Halted
Germans at XivrQ,
(By The Associated Press)

t6y Inc Associated Pfe8S)
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 18.-The carefully re-
hearsed German attack on the Amer
lean positions in the village of Xivray
on Sunday morning was broken up
largely by machine gun and rife fire.
The German attack was made for the
purpose of taking prisoners, according
to statements made by Germans who
were captured by the Americans.
The artillery aarrage let down by
the American gunners inflicted consid-
cradle losses on the large enemy raid
ing party as it crossed No Mans Land,
but the raid was actually stopped by
the hot fire from the American ma
chine guns. The gunners everywhere
stuck to the ir posts in the face of the
attack.
At one point north of Xivray the
Germans captured an American ma
chine gun after killing or wounding
the crew. but five minutes later the
gun was recaptured and, in the sub
sequent fighting, the Americans took q
light machine gun which the enemy
had brought up in the attack. The
