SILKEN STANDARD OF
OLD VENICE HONORED
Flag of the Ancient Republic" in
u. S. Consulate.

Venice, May 30.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press)-The
silken standard of the proud old
republic of Venice, known as the
Gonfalon of San Marco, now has a
place of honor in the American
consulate at Venice, and upon
American Consul B. Harvey Carroll
Jr.. has been conferred the distinc-
ton of being Gonfalonier OF San
Marco, or standard bearer Of the
Venetian flag.
1t is the first time in the history
of Venice that such distinction
has been given to any foreigner, and
it reflects the feeling of the city
toward the American representative
for the attention he has given their
interests during the trials of the
last six months with the enemy on
the Piave only fifteen miles east
of Venice.
Throughout the political changes
OF Venice, the city has preserved
the emblems which marked its
greatest glory, when as the Venetian
republic she was mistress of the Ad-
riatic and the eastern Mediterran-
can and was strong enough to de-
feat the Turks and conquer Con-
stantinople. The winged lions of
St. Mark are the most familiar EN-
blem, and they are not only seen in
Venice and all the surrounding cit
les of the Venetian province, but
in Corfu and all along the coast of
Dalmatia and Croatia.
Another OF these emblems is a

GERMANS ARE TOLD

With the American Army in

storming the Belleau wood section

ing seven officers.
One OF the officers said the Ger
man commanders have been tell
ing the soldiers that the Germans
have landed an army in America,
captured New York, and are now
marching toward Philadelphia. The
Germans also are told that subma-
rines have sunk between 10 and 81
ships in Long Island sound.
The Importance of the American
advance in Belleau wood IS not in

THE DRIVE THAT FAILED.

The great Austrian drive against
Italy turns out to be the most
cheering thing that has happened
to the allies this year.
AS drive, it is joke. 1t may
almost be said to have stopped be-
fore it started. The Italians, with
a little help from the British and
French. checked the initial blows
in almost every sector OF the great
battle front, and in many cases
promptly threw back the assailants
with an actual loss OF territory. In
the few places where the enemy
succeeded in advancing at ALL he
was quickly contained" before he
had got far enough to do any harm.
In these exceptional cases the de-
tenders have been fighting with such
zeSt and force that it seems only
a question of days, or hours, when
the foe will be driven back alto
gether behind the lines he started
from.
1t is something quite new in the
annals OF trench warfare. By all
precedent, the Austrians should
have plunged ahead in their first
rush, as the Germans have done
lately in Flanders and France, and
as the British and French have done
whenever they launched a big of
fensive. The battering ram is al
ways expected to pierce the front
lines. 1t is an acknowledged fact
OF the new war strategy that 1t
takes several days to bring pow
erful thrust to halt, before the
counter offensive can begin. And
here we find the counter offensive
starting almost simultaneously with !
he offensive itself.
Any tyro i'll war criticism can
see in this development the pleas

American Fighters Way in War zone
Smoothed by Book on French Manners
Clear Simple Presentation False Ideas of Our Brothey
Ally Are Corrected-Is Beating Down ALI
German Propaganda.

One million copies OF handy little
pocket fitting booklet entitled France,
our Ally" cleverly designed to
smooth the way of the American
fighters sent to the war zone, are be-
ing distributed to every soldier and
sailor whose duty takes him to French
soil. Clear. simple presentations OF
French life. customs. ideals, stand
ards. history and geography, set forth
briefly in the booklet, which is writ
ten by 3. Van Worst, serve excellently
to establish In the minds of our boys
a good understanding of the strange
but friendly country and people to
whom they are going.
The false idea of French life con-
veyed by musical comedies and cafe
fiction Is corrected by this booklet,
which Is distributed free to our fight
ers by the Y. NJ. G. A, and France and
her heroic people are presented in
their true lights and proportions. The
booklets are given away to our SOL
ders on board the transports and to
those already in France UP to the
front line trenches. The dominant
note of the book is to divest Ameri-
cans OF preconceived prejudices and
provincial false notions about the
French before the boys from the
united states nave come IN contact
with these allies, whose language and
mode of life differ from ours.
IN the light OF the fact that Ger
man propaganda seeks constantly TO
aggravate racial prejudices among the
allies speaking different tongues nd
having different standards, the + IN
objective being to weaken the solidt =
ity of the democratic forces, the valt !
of any work tending to aid an under
standing among the allies cannot be
underestimate. In arming each
American fighter with the eye-opener.

service for the allied cause.
