Children Should Not Be Exploit

(By The Aasooiated press)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 30.-The air forces OF
both sides are working overtime these
fine moonlight nights and there has
been heavy bombing throughout the
war zone. They have been no less
active in fighting and accommodating
throughout the day and many battles
royal have been fought along the
lines.
There is an interesting development
in connection with the hostile shelling
of the territory around Mont des Cats,
where the famous Trappist monastery
is located. For weeks the Germans
have been bombarding this Flemish
elevation heavily and the monks home
has been sadly damaged.
Recently the German Emperor wrote
a letter 10 the German commander in
this area. asking that Mont des Cats be
spared. because the aged prior of the
monastery was the only living person
who knew where the Emperor's rela-
tive, Prince Max of Hesse, had been
buried after his death in the monastery
in October, 1914. The prince was at

Take 800 Prisoners

LONDON. June 30-The Italians
yesterday launchead heavy blow
against the Austrian positions on
Monte d Val Bella, on the left noun
! famous wing of the Italian front, and
IN bitter struggle wrested the height
from the enemy, the War Office in
/ Rome announced tonight.
Supported by an intense preliminary
bombardment from the Italian guns
and by series of raiding operations
carried out by British and French
troops, the Italian infantry attacked at
dawn. In the fighting on the slopes of
the mountain the enemy was compelled
to fall back slowly.
More than 800 Austrians were taken
prisoners, and many cannon, field NOR
tars. machine guns and quantity Of
supplies fell into the hands of the at
tacking forces.
Again and again the Austrians coun-
ter attacked, charging up the northern
slopes of the mountain, but each time
they were moved down by the Italian
fire. Tremendous losses were inflicted
on the enemy in his abortive efforts TO
retrieve his loss.
Further east, on the Asiago Plateau,
between the Frenzela Valley and the
line of the Brenta River, the Italians
captured fortified Austrian post on
the southern slopes of Sasso Rosso
/ Thirty three Austrians were taken
prisoner.
Elsewhere on the Italian front there
were local engagements. The artillery
fire, which had become intense along
the whole northern front decreased
somewhat. Along the Piave River
front. on the Italian right, the oppos-
ing forces were idle.

Coming Attack Indicated

lBy TIE -Associoscd Pressl

WITH THE AMERICANFORCEs ON
THE MARINE, June 30 Excessive
movements Of troops and materials
north of Chateau Thierry, together
with the increased artillery and aerial
activity, form the basis of the belief
that American forces in this locality
may be called upon to defend them
selves in the near future.
Long streams of enemy troops and
wagon trains have been observed in
the neighborhood of the Bonnes Wood.
There have been more than fifty enemy
aerial flights over the American lines
northwest of Chateau Thierry in the
last twentyfour hours. One German
machine was shot down by our anti
aircraft gun.
The American artillery has heavily
sheiled many vital and active spots
within the enemy lines, once obtaining
direct hit on detachment of march
ing Germans
For days the Americans have been
expecting that the enemy. stung by the
defeat administered to him recently on
this front, would make a vigorous as
sault upon our forces, and it was part
ly for this reason that the American
operations in the Belleau section were
carried out
With these operations completed, the
Americans now have The country for
several miles in front of them under
their eyes and guns, and can see what
is developing, In consequence, when
the expected blow comes they will be
that much better prepared to meet it.
The American troops have made all
preparations, and the Boche will get an
exceedingly warm reception if he tries
what the situation to-day indicates he
has in mind.
The Americans say that no matter
where the enemy strikes he is bound to
pay dearly for his effort, and that the
bigger the target the better the Ameri-
can forces will like it.
To the east of Chateau Thierry, along
the river Marine, except for constantly
increasing long range shelling on both
sides, comparative quiet reigns. There
has been no patro!ling, because the
bright moonlight on the water prevents
a crossing, but the American snipers
have been so active in the last four
days that the Germans rarely ever
make an appearance.

will be sealed, and all people of Haps-

contrary, she has fought to maintain

The Hungarians are largely respon..
sible for the retarded condition OF

sents to-day much more strongly then
Austria the idea Of the suppression Of
all peoples not directly connected with
