Capture 1900 Prisoners in
Spectacular Drive Over
AsiagO Sector.
AlRMEN BRING DOWN
TWELVE HUN PLANES
Pound German Forts to Dust
by Artillery Fire Just
Before Offensive.

Rome, Jan. 29.-ln a spectacular
attack on the northern mountain
front yesterday the Italian army
broke into the enemy lines over ex.
tensive territory. While the enemy
Notifications were being demolished
by the Italian artillery, airmen took
supremacy in the air and brought
down 12 enemy planes. Il was Of.
ficiaiiy reported here that the ital.
ians took i,50o prisoners in the
drive.
Notwithstanding the fact that deep
SHOWS still cover the ground, the
Italians have carried out successfully
spectacular drive against the Aus
tro-German lines in the mountain re-
gion of northern Italy and captured
strong positions and more than 1900
men.
Huns Lose Heavily.
The blow was delivered on the
Asaigo plateau sector and the enemy
positions penetrated We're tenasiously
held Notwithstanding strong counter
attacks in which the Austro- Germans
We're repulsed with heavy casualties
The Berlin war office in admitting the
reverse asserts that the Italians re-
peatedly tried to bring up reinforce
ments to widen the breaches they had
made In the enemy front, but that their
efforts failed and $50 Italians We're
made prisoners.
The victory Of the Italians at this
particular point is of considerable sig
nificance because of the fact that late
ly since the enemy's strong attempts
TO break through from the hill region
to the Venetian plain failed around
Monte Tomba and sectors west, the
Austro Germans have been bringing
up reinforeements in the Asaigo dis
trict preparatory to a further series OF
attacks to reach the lowlands around
Bassano and Vicen2a.

Washington. Jun 29. 9.lsxpansion OF
Americas fighting forces beyond their
present strength depends upon such
factors as events abroad and the ship
ping situation. Secretary Baker said
tonight In disclosing that the war de-
partncnt has not fixed a date for an
other draft, nor even determined how
many men shall be called.
When Mr.. Baker told the senate mil
itary committee yesterday the United
states would have half n million men

al million and half could go across
If ships could be found to carry them,
he referred TO the divisions now In

Europe, Future Developments will de-
cid" what additional forces win be sent.
May Call Million.
The secretary made clear today his
opinion that II events made IL neces-
sary to call out more than another In p
drement Of half "a million men the ex-
"cutivc'a authority to draft men for
lighting units other than reserves
would be exhausted and further legis
iation by congress would be necessary.
He said however. that under the
authority to call two increments of
line soldiers OF 100,0 each and such
additional numbers for recruit bat
talions ana special units "as the prcsi-
dent may deem necessary" the second
draft might bring out in all as many
aP a million men.

that most Of the new registrants will
fall into class one. giving that class
this year a total Of some two million
men. From class one 1t Is proposed TO
take the next and any future drafts.
In a formal memorandum presenting
his views. the general also disapprovcd
suggestions that the registration be ex-
tended to men beyond the age of 81,
saying the effort OF classification is so
great and so expensive and the number
Of PERSONS past 81 years, who would
fall In class one, so small that the
task would not be worth while.
Although Secretary Baker today re-
iterated his desire to have exempted
registered men who reach the age OF
Il years without being called into the
military service. the committee refused
to include such a provision in the leg
islation. General crowder disapproved
the suggestion. The bills probably
