ITALIANS SMASHING
THE AUSTRIAN LINE
HURL BACK ENEMY ON VITAL
SECTOR or sNoWRoUND
NORTHERN FRONT.
Has Suddenly Become q Menacina zoe
for War-Weary Austro-Hungarian
Masses, and Renew Confidence
Of the Allied Forces.

London.-At a moment when the
Austrian "home front" is on the brink
OF collapse the Italians have dealt a
staggering blow to the dual monarchy's
army.
On a front Of nearly ten miles be-
tween the Asiago and the Brenta river,
where few weeks ago the Teutons
were but eight miles from the Vene-
tan plains and victory, General Diaz's
northern army surged forward on Jan
uary 20, through two feet of snow and
In fierce foot-to-foot combat pressed
back their opponents, throwing them
from important dominating positions.
That airplanes aided materially in
the fighting is indicated in the italian
official communication, which asserts
that during the progress of the battle
the enemy lost twelve aircraft.
Fifteen hundred prisoners, among
them sixty-two officers. were taken.
Over night, Italy, which was to have
been put out of the war; before snow
fell, has once more risen to dominat-
Ing plane in the allied military calcu-
lations. For the Teutons she has sud-
denly become the most menacing foe,
for II the success is followed up and
the Austrians suffer a large-scale de-
feat the effect upon the war-weary
Austro- Hungarian masses will be meal
Moreover, Hindenburg faces
new "ultimatum" from the Austrian
stair and may have to throw his ambI-
tious western plans overheard to save
the ally.
Warm praise Is given in General
Diaz's report for the effective co-opera-
ton of the French and British armies.

Year Of chrlst.s birth.

History tells us that for 500 years.
the Christians had no calendar of their
own, but reckoned the years according
to the customs of the nations 10 which
they belonged. The Roman Christians
used the Anna Urbis Conditiae" or
year OF the founding of Rome. TO count
from; others counted from the reign
OF Diocletian. calling 1t the Era of the.
Martyrs" and still others used the
calendar of the Copts of Egypt. In the
sixth century, Denis the Little, a Greek
monk living in Rome. made calendar
counting from the Incarnation. the
date of which he fixed Mt 753 A. u. C.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founded in 1853 B. c. At the beginning
of the eighth century the venerable
Bede pointed out that this was an his
t0rieal hlnnder. But no general no.
tice was taken of his criticism, and the
error has continued to this day. His

ars to determine. without much nos

BAKER REPLIES IN
+. DETAIL TO CHARGES
HALF MILLION AMERICANS WILL
Be IN FRANCE SOON, WITH
MILLION MORE READY.
Men Are Ready to Take Their Places
at Side Of Allies as Soon as Ships
Can Be Secured 20 Take
Them Over.

Washington.-Ame will have an
army of half million in France early
this year, with a million more trained
and equipped, ready to follow as quick
Iy as ships can be provided to carry
then-and the outlook for ships is
not unpromising.
/, Secretary Baker gave this informa-
ton to the world on January % in
statement BEIGE the senate military
committee, barring much that until now
has been carefully guarded with the
army's military secrets, In answering
che vges that the government has brok-
en- down preparing for war.
From early morning until late after
noon the secretary addressed the COM
mittee, and crowd, including many
members of both houses of congress,
gathered In a big hearing room Of the
senate office building. He spoke ex-
temporaneous'Y, beginning with details
of the mammoth task Of building an
army of million and a half, answer
Ing such complaints of inefficiency as
were cited by Senator Chamberlain in
his recent speech and declaring that
such instances were isolated and not
general.
The chief points in Secretary Bakers
statement were:
There will be half a million men in
France early in 1918.
There will be million and half
ready to. go to France In 1918.
The American people will soon DEM
onstrate upon the battleflelds of Eu-
rope. side by side with our allies, our
determination to win the war.
The ordnance bureau has been letting
contracts at the rate Of twenty day.
We could not delay sending men to
environments until the last button was
on the last coat.
Major General Wood advised me to
send the men to the camps. saving
they would have a lot to learn before
they would have need for rifles.
1t was Pershing who caused rejection
Of the Lewis machine gun.
The German government is still I'M
aware of the number OF men we have
In France.
One =s-ilroad built by Americans in
France has 900 miles of rails.
It was not for us to decide the the
atre of war-the theatre was France.
It was not for us to decide the line of
communications-the line reached |
across the Atlantic ocean, with one
end infested by submarines. Our en-
envy was on the other side of No Mans
Land, and our problem was to get
over there and get him.
While many things disclosed inn
the committee, 1t was frankly
when told that the men of
-hirty-two national guard and national
army divisional camps are ready to
20 today at need. When members
wanted to know why such things had
1ot been given publicity before. Mr..
Baker spoke of the reluctance Of mill.
7ry men to reveal their war plans and
quoted German remarks about Amer
cas- advertisement of her preparations.
emphasizing that he was not there to
iefend himself or anybody else, the
secretary urged the committee again
md again to lay bare any shortcom-
ng or failure of the department. that
might be corrected.
