Gives Up Attacks In Mountain Region
Fiqht For Bridqeheads

On the Piave numerous attempts have been made by the Austrians to gain further bridgeheads on the west ern bank of the stream but the Ital- ians everywhere are holding them with their gunfire and also doing sanguinary execution within the ranks of the enemy across the river with bombs and machine gun fire.
 Austrian Claims Denied
 The Austrian war office asserts that the Austro- Hungarian troops have crossed the Fossetta canal at some points where Tuesday it was claimed they had made advances and also that several Italian lines at the southern foot of the Montello plateau. the key to the Venetian plains, have been pierced. Rome on the other hand declared that all the weak at tempts made in the Montello region were completely repulsed.
 Allies Take 5000 Prisoners
 More than 5000 men have been taken by the Italians since the of- fensive began and many guns and several hundred machine guns have been captured. That intensive air fighting also has taken place is shown by the fact that fifty enemy planes, have been shot down. Only two of the allied machines have failed to return to their base.
 Huns Meet Disaster The attacks of the Germans near Reims resulted dsastrously to then Hardly had they left their trenches after one of the most terrific bonn bardments with shells of all calibre, including gas projectiles, ever experi- enced on the western front. nearly 40, 900 men were faced by the rein forced French armies and literally cut to pieces and forced to fall back pre- cipitately. Only at one point, to the east of Reims, did the enemy succeed in penetrating the French line. Here they were elected almost immediately. The German official communication describes the attack as demonstra- | tion of artillery and mine throwers. Other Fronts Are Quiet Little activity has prevailed on the remainder of the western front, ex- cept the usual reciprocal lombard l ments and operations in the nature Of patrol engagements.

$50 American weeklies has been
forced to suspend publication on
account of these increasing costs.
For the greater number, how
ever, the other alternative will
be the one adopted-that is,
raising the subscription price
above the time-honored fiat dol
lar per year.
The dollar was a convenient
unit for dealing between publish
er and patron and, when for that
sum one was able to secure So
issues of an alert publication, it
was a dollar proftably spent.
Some of the most constructive
journalistic work of the past
century was accomplished thru
the columns of the dollar weekly.
Some of the patron saints of the
newspaper profession accom-.
plished their most lasting results
by means of it, and the annals of
newspaperdom would lose much
of their interest and charm had
the dollar weekly not thrived so
long.
But no product helps itself in
the long run by operating at a
loss. If it costs more than a
dollar to publish the modern
weekly, the quicker the situation
is understood on both sides the
better. No one can properly pro-
test when the price is increased
and value is given.
The dollar weekly has had an
honorable history and the coun-
try owes it more than it knows.
No apology is needed if the price
that sufficed half a century ago
is now found inadequate.

Contemplate BIGGOT
AND SILLY FOOL

louisville Courier JoUrnal)
The Courier-Journal recently
referred to some severe criti-
cisms by the the Murray Ledger
of the Rev. H. Boyce Taylor,
moderator of the Kentucky Bap-
tist Association, and a few days
later it published some resolu-
tions of the First Baptist church
of Richmond, KY, repudiating
this man. The Courier-Journal
at the time of its publication of
the Murray papers denuncia-
ton, ignorant of the facts on
which it was based, expressed
no opinion as to its business.
Since then its ignorance has been
partially dispellad and the quo
tations from Taylor's own paper,
which it was enabled to publish
yesterday, amply warrant every
thing which has been said
against this man by these who
impeach his loyalty and patriot
ism.
These quotations reveal him as
a contemplate little biggot and
silly fool who has persi5tently
used his position in a great
church to instigate treason
against the country that shelters
him and to which he processes
allegiance. The most charitable
explanation of his conduct is to
assume that he hasn't sense
enough to realize its gravity.
That, however, is no reason for
failure by the proper authorities
to put a stop TO it. The Courier
| .Journal understands that he is
under surveillance by the Govern
ment; he ought to be under dur
ess by the Government. And he
ought to be kicked out of the
ministry by the church whose
cloack he uses to ply his infam-
Gus campaign against his coun-
try.

PASSING OF THE

from the Piave river westward.
Tdeir lines have now been moved
back to Monte Spinoncia.
Italian patrols making recon,
naissances in the last few days
found that the enemy patrols
and sentinels had been with
drawn, and later discovered that
the enemy had abandoned the
entire region.
This retreat is a sequel to the
brilliant victory French troops
recently obtained on Monte Tom
ba, inasmuch as the enemy's
position thereafter became un-
tenable.
The retirement of the enemy
is important as showing that he
has given up his effort to force a
passage to the Venetian plains
by way of Monte Tomba and the
west bank of the Piave, at least
for the present. He is now con.
structing defensive works in the
rear.

DOCS TRAINED ID BRAVE FIRE
 IN WAR AREAS

A Dogs Training Camp in France A war dogs dinner bell is a bomb. When all is ready for the meal, men standing near dugout craters close to the kennels throw in fused hand grenades, and right and left all over the place there are terrific explosions with clouds of smoke and dust.
 The dogs are not frightened, for they have been taught that explos- ions are merely the prelude to a meal AS the grenades go off the "dog-men" run down the line, push ig each dogs plate of steaming food within reach, so that all are served at the same time
 This training teaches the dogs, carrying messages at the front to pass through the heaviest barrages without fear, believing that the only purpose of all the racket is to an- nounce his dinner. Arriving with | the message at headquarters, the dog 1 finds his waiting master, who de- taches the message from the collar receptacle and Immediately rewards 1 the animal with food. In this way communication can be maintained with advanced elements of troops without sacrifice of human life.
 The advantages of dog mess enger are many. The dog of course runs much more quickly than a man messenger, and presents far more difficult target for enemy snipers i In the case of small garrisons in
 outlying posts, the sending of sol. dier runners seriously weakens the i fighting power of the unit, besides
 exposing the messenger to all the perils of a fire-swept zone. Ex-
 perience has proved that a combina- tion of dog and carrier pigeon serv-
 ice is, if not more reliable than
 that of the human runners, very
 much more efficient.
 :! It is of the utmost importance
 that the dog of war be safeguarded
 from all blandishments and tempta
 tions to finger among new-found friends, for everything depends
 when he is released, upon his bolt. ing straight back with his precious
 message to his master. As food is
 the reward for faithful services, nc
 one but the master may give the dog
 even a scrap of meat.
