DRIVE WILL OPEN APRIL Is. VALLEY
COUNTY QUOTA CUT TO
100000.

County Chairman Sidney j. Rumble
has his campaign for the third Liberty
loan drive in this county well under
way and has already appointed the
county executive committee and chair
man for the local towns throughout
the county. A committee has been
called of all the local chairmen and
the executive committee, for
Saturday afternoon in this city
at which time plans will be
worked over and the allotments
made to the different districts, vii
lagos and townships throughout the
county.
In this campaign the allotment plan
will be worked and each individual will
be requested to do his share toward
financing the loan in his district.
County Chairman S. j. Rumble has
been promoted to district chairman of
the counties of Phillips, Valley and
Sheridan. He has received the posters
and placards advertising the big drive
and some of the new posters are we'll
worthy of mention, particularly one
Abraham Lincoln poster, which is
conceded to be the most powerful
piece of advertising the government
has turned out yet.
Mr.. Rumble urges upon every local
chairman the Importance of attending
the meeting to be held at his offices in
this city tomorrow.
In this campaign the allottments of
the different counties were prepared
by special committee from the state
executive committee and were based
upon the banking resources of the
county instead Of population and
assessed valuation as was the case in
the first and second Liberty loan
drives.

which were present at one time or
another on the west bank Of the
Piave between Montello and the
sea.
If these figures are confirmed
they show a successful retreat, but
there may be larger numbers to
come. The full significance of the
battle does not lie at all in the di-
rection of its being even an ap-
proach to a decision for our side, but
in having broken for the moment
the Austrian offensive power. There
fore, it disarranged the whole COM
bined enemy plan.
To give the event another and
larger significance and talk as
though the Austrian army had been
overtfrown is to raise false hope
There is another point on which
only the future can inform us, and
that is the political effect which this
grave disappointment may have on
the already distracted condition of
Austrian civil opinion.

LONDON, June 25.-.-At the mo-

statement as to the number of Aus
trians caught by the Italians in the
pursuit Of the retreating enemy
over the Piave, but it is clear that
the retirement over the river was
effected everywhere north Of Musile
with success.
In the extreme northern section,
near Nervesa, the water had fallen
sufficiently to permit fording, but
further downstream, south Of Fa-
gare, the retiring force was de-
pendent mainly upon it's bridges. 1t
seems fairly evident that the evac-

later than Saturday morning.

Ask French to Join

British Seamen Seek to Extend
Retaliation Plan for
Sea Murders

PARIS, June 25 (Havas Agency
French seamen are requested to join
with British mariners in boycott of
Germany, in a letter written to the
"Mstin" by Joseph Havelock Wilson,
leader Of the seamen of Great Britain.
The letter includes copy of tele-
gram sent by the British seamen to
President Poincare, which states that
the British are determined to fight to
the bitter end to bring "just punish
ment on the Boche"
1t has been decided to exclude all
Germans from crews and to carry no
German goods. This action is in re-
taliation for the shameful assassina-
tion of $4,000 non-combatant seamen."
MIR. Wilson recalls that the British
seamen some time ago decided to boy
cott Germany until two years after the
close of the war, adding one month for
each additional crime against non-com-
batants. TIE length of the. term of
boycott now reaches sixty-eight
months.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-26
By William l.. Mcpherson


T<HE Italian High Command has
not been thrown off it's bal
ance by the victory on the
Piave. General Diaz's proclamation
to the victorious armies breathes re-
stralnt and caution. 1t is not over
eNultant. The great victory won is
the turning point in Italian fortunes.
But much remains to be done before
the enemy is driven out of Northern
Italy.
The Italians are going ahead care
fully and methodically. They have
cleared the entire west bank of the
Piave, the last Austro-H Hungarian
rear guards having surrendered or
Monday night or early yesterday.
The flooded Piave is still problem.
Yesterdays reports said that it had
risen again, after subsiding, and
that some of the new Italian bridges
had been carried away. Probably
only Italian advance guards and cav
airy are operating east of the river.
There has been no official report yet
of fighting on the further side.
For the present, therefore, the
Austrian retreat is apparently
limited to the necessities of a tenta-
tive regrouping of the defeated
armies. Boroevic has time to choose
new line, either between the Piave
and the Livenza or at the Livenza.
But if his left wing is badly broken
it can hardly make a serious stand
west of the Tagliamento. The situa-
ton will not be cleared up on this
front until the Italians are able to
cross the Piave in force.
After Gettysburg Meade slowly
followed Lee through Maryland to
the Potomac. For several days the
two armies faced each other on the
northern bank of the river, but
didn't come to blows. Then Lee
stole across into Virginia unmo-
Tested. The North was deeply disap-
pointed and Lincoln censured Meade
for letting the enemy escape. Yet
Gettysburg remained the decisive
battle of the Civil War. Its effects
were enduring. So it is likely to be

just ended. It's effects will continue
and will grow in Importance,
whether Boroevic makes good his
present retirement or not.
The Italians have followed up
their success in the Piave Valley by
taking the offensive on the mountain
front. Yesterdays communique re-
ported successful attacks at Mount
Grappa and in the Asiago sector.
The Austrian withdrawal from the
Montello Plateau and from the op-
posite bank of the Piave has prob

Military Comment

ably uncovered the eastern end of
the enemy's northern line. Frontal
attacks in this region would hasten
the retirement necessary to connect
Boroevic's mountain positions with
his new eastern lines beyond the
Piave.
A new sequence Of operations is
beginning, with the Italians on the
offensive. 1t has been reported from
time to time that Italy was planning
to strike this summer if Austria
Hungary didn't. German pressure
and German necessities in France
compelled the Emperor Karl and
his military council to launch their
offensive first. General Diaz may
have plans already matured for q
counter stroke. The Austro-Hun-
garian breakdown now makes it
much easier for him to attain any
objectives he may have marked out
for himself He does not have to
pay the cost of a breaking through
operation on the Piave front. That
front has collapsed. He needs only
to gather the fruits there of Boroe-
vic's failure and more or less diso--
derly retreat.
Austrian efforts to conceal the dis
aster on the Piave are pathetic.
Boroevic took many prisoners un-
doubtedly on June Is and 16. Such
captures are necessary incident Of
every first dash on a broad front
into an enemy's lines. Since Juno
l6, however, the toll Of Italian cap
tives has been negligible. Yet
Vienna has been steadily boosting
it's claims Of prisoners taken. The
latest count of $4,000, issued yester-
day is manifest Justification, in
tended to delude the Austro- Hunga-
rian public. 1t is as melancholy a
performance as Foreign Secretary
Won Kuhlmann's statement in the
Reichstag yesterday afternoon that
"the Austro-Hungarian army has in
dashing onslaught attacked the
Italian positions, achieved note
worthy successes and has pinned
down large and important enemy
forces on that front"
This is as inspiring in its way as
John Phenix's famous description of
the tactics of the bruiser who pinned
down his opponent by falling to the
floor and inserting his nose between
the other fellows teeth.
Despite the Viennese bulletins and
Secretary Won Kuhlmann's rhetoric,
the German and Austro-Hungarian
masses will soon discover that in q
moral even more than in military
sense, the Austrian failure in North
ern Italy has dealt the Central Alli-
ance a nearly mortal blow.
