Austro-Hungarian Gains

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
June 22.-Magnifcent work has given
the allies complete control of the air.
How favorable the situation is may
be made clear by brief state
ment of the Austrian territorial gains
in the last few days. although, as the
Official declaration well remarks, the
situation changes from hour to hour.
SO that there are no longer any fight
ing lines. but fighting zones.
Beginning in the mountains We can
say that Gen. Conrad Hoetzendorfs
forces have gained absolutely moth
ing despite the efforts Of fifteen en-
envy divisions against the Italian 9Th
Army, or the amalgamated army of
fourteen divisions against the Ital-
ian 4th Army. Archduke Josefs army
has succeeded in occupying perhaps
one-third of the Montello ridge, con-
stftuting a bridgehead, but nothing
more, while against the middle and
lower Piave the Austrians have sue
ceeded in occupying a thin strip be-
tween Cardlu and Zenson and in
thrusting out q salient scarcely four
kilometers GA miles) deep opposite
San Dona astride the Porto Gruao-

BRITISH AIRMEN LEARN
HOW TO FIGHT AT NIGHT
German Gothas No Longer Able to
Avoid Attack-Perilous Posi-
lions About Machine.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 22.-The activity of
British airmen in connection with
recent air raids ON London indicates
that they are learning rapidly the
art Of fighting the Gotha in the dark.
Until a few months ago there was
little air fghting at night, even in
France, and raiding craft enjoyed a
marked advantage because their OBJ
ject was solely to avoid attack while
dropping their bombs.
It Is evident that they are able no
longer to avoid attack. For one
to see in the dark as result Of
numerous night flights in search of
enemy machines. Now they are able
to spot Gothas at distances which
would have been considered impossi-
BILE in the early stages of night raids.
take tho best positions for combating
the enemy, and how to keep those
positions. The Gotha, being an ex-
tremely heavy machine, is adept at
slipping away. By q sudden plunge
in front of the attacking scout it
can create "backwash" and leave
machine.
The British pilots now know how
to cope with that trick and to keep
within thirty or forty yards Of the
raider all the time.
There are many perilous positions
round the Gotha, whose two gun
ners can Are in almost any direction.
Only highly skillful handling of the
attacking machine enables the pilot
to maintain a place in which he can
continue the fight until he hits the
raider in a vital spot.

Survivors Tell Of Disaster.
Fireman KIauss Arrested;
Saw Train Too Late, He Says

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, June 22.-
Emil Klauss. locomotive fireman on
the empty troop train which dashed
into a circus train near Gary today,
was arrested here this afternoon at
the request of the coroner Of Lake
county He will be held until Mem
day morning, when he will be taken
to Gary to testify at the inquest over
the victims of the circus train wreck.
He came here shortly before noon
after fleeing from the scene Of the
wreck with AL Sargent, engineer of
the locomotive on the troop train.
Sargent left this aftrnoon for his
home in Kalamazoo. Mich. Author
tits of that city have been requested
to arrest him upon his arrival.
I'VE were running along at good
rate of speed between Hammond and
Gary and I did not see the circus
train on the siding until We were
nearly on top of it." said Klauss. Il
saw that a collision could not be
avoided, and 1 grew dizzy and sick
in my stomach at the thought of what
was certain to happen.
II did not notice the engineer and
do not know what he did. I crawled
down from my seat in the locomotive
cab and dragged myself on to the ten

Sargent, 1t is said, told friend here
that steam from an Indiana Harbor
Belt Line engine. on a siding. obscured
the semaphore, but he did not explain
how he missed other danger signals.
He said he told the fireman to jump,
but that he stayed on the engine and.
despite its destructive course through
the show train, was not injured.

sible to increase the amount of water
furnished to this district until the
supply is augmented.
Some time ago the government
mate of cost. of a project for water
from the Patuxent river basin, but
the drainage area of 127 miles would
furnish a dependable supply Of only
90,o00,oo0 gallons per day.
Mr.. Morse's Plan.
This. however. could be increased
under a plan submitted by Robert b.
Morse, chief engineer to the Wash
sion, to utilize the Middle and Little
Patuxent rivers, which are adjacent
to the Great Patuxent basin, and
which would furnish an additional
100000 gallons per day. or a total
OF 16o,000,000 gallons per day. which
least an additional million people to
the present population Of the District
of Columbia and surrounding terri
tory.
The drainage areas Of the three ad-
tacent rivers are shown in report
ent. There are no villages of any
size upon the whole area OF 223 square
miles which would be used No rail-
road or electric line is within the area
and most Of 1t is far from any main
lines of travel.
Contrasts Potomac Valley.
This is in marked contrast to the
Potomac river valley, in which there
are many large and growing towns
and cities, which discharge large
quantities Of sewerage into that
stream and the tributaries thereof.
This report outlines plan whereby
the water of the Patuxent rivers could
trict Of Columbia and would also en-
able the government to supply Camp
Meade with unlimited quantities Of
pure filtered water.
"As this project is entirely within
the state of Maryland, 1t would be
necessary to have tho cooperation OF
the state authorities. and the present
sanitary commission which was
created by an act Of Congress and the
general assembly of the state of
the engineering board conducting the
investigation. and If this water is
impounded a percentage of the water
should be available at. nominal cost
to the suburban districts of Maryland.
ITO my mind 1t Is absolutely essen
tial that steps be taken to safeguard
the interest of the District by pro.
viding an adequate water supply and
an investigation should be made at
once as to the most economical meth
cd of augmenting the supply, and
promptly dealing with what has al
ready become very acute situation
SO far as the Districts water supply
Is concerned"
