With the British Army in France
The wonderful stand of the Italians
against the onslaught of great masses
of Austrian troops has evoked the
highest praise along the British front
and has sent the barometer of optt-
mism mounting higher than ever.
Of even greater moral value has
been the news of the fine work done
by the Americans in fighting on the
French front These new troops have
been watched critically by the battle
worn allies and the men from over
seas have far exceeded expectations
in doing such effective work with
such short training.

.ENEMY'S DEFEAT
SEEMS COMPLETE
EVEN AUSTRIAN WAR OFFICE
ADMITS EVACUATION OF
MONTICELLO PLATEAU.

New York-The defeat of the Aus
trian armies on the western bank of
the Piave river is complete Admis-
sion is made by the Austrian War o.
flee that the troops of Emperor
Charles have been forced to evacuate
the Monticello plateau, over which they
had hoped to press their way anu
gain the Venetian plains and some
sectors of the positions they attain
ed recently on the bank of the river
between the plateau and the point
where the stream empties into the
Adriatic.
Bad weather and the rising of the
Piave under the heavy rainfall are
assigned as the reasons for the with
drawal Of the Austrians. But the
Rome War Office asserts that it was
the impetuous attacks of the Italians
that brought about the failure of an
operation which was started with the
intention of crushing the armies of
General Diaz and forcing the Italians,
like the Russians, to accept a Teu-
tonic allied peace.
All along the river the italians
have pressed back the invaders of
their country until small units remain
on the west bank and across the
stream King Victor Emmanuels men
are keeping we'll on the heels of the
retreating enemy, who is fleeing in
disorder Again the cavalry has been
thrown into the fighting and is sore
ly harassing the enemy while ma
chine guns on the ground and from
the aircraft, some of the latter ope-
rated by American aviators, are work
ing havoc among the fleeing Austrian
columns.
The losses to the enemy are de-
scribed as enormous, both in men
killed. wounded or made prisoners
An official statement from Rome to
the italian embassy in Washington
asserts that the Austrians have lost
$4,000 men in prisoners alone, The
Italian War Office communication
mentions only 1000 Austrians as hav-
ing been captured, but it is probable
that this communication antedated
that sent to the embassy and that
the captives in the hands of the Ital-
fans greatly exceed this figure.
The probability that this is true is
enhanced by the fact that the river
was swollen out of bounds and most
OF the few bridges that had not been
carried away by the freshet had been
shot to pieces by the Italian guns,
compelling the enemy either to sur.
render or take his chances of being
able to swim the turbulent stream.
So hurried was the retrograde move
ment of the Austrians at some points
that they did not take time even ~
attempt to save their guns and stores,
great quantities of which are now in
Italian hands.

TFUTONS DRIVEN

FROM MONTICELLO TO ADRIATIC
SEA THEY SWEEP ENEMY BACK
-AUSTRIANS ARE PURSUED.

Rome.-On the Piave river front
from the Monticello to the Adriatic, re
crossing the river in disorder, says
the Italian official statement. The
enemy is being closely pursued by the
Italian troops.
The Austrian offensive was more
than failure; it was a defeat for the
enemy, who at several points was
four times stronger than the Italians"
This announcement was made by
Premier Orlando in the Senate amid
enthusiastic cheering. He added:
After the present victorious resist
ance, another battle may burst out
sooner or later. In fact, reliable Sc
ports which have been received say
the Austrians are concentrating large
forces. in the Tyrol and Trentino in
another desperate attempt to break
through the mountain front"
A proposal made by an Italian gen
eral to declare Monte Grappa a ma
tional monument in recognition of the
heroism displayed there, and an
nounced by the premier, has been re-
ceived throughout Italy with the
greatest enthusiasm.

EXTENSION DRAFT
AGE IS PROPOSED
DISCUSSED AT LENGTH IN SEN
ATE DURING CONSIDERATION
OF ARMY APPROPRIATION.
WOULD MAKE AGES 20 TO 40
Imperative and Immediate Necessity
For An Increase in Americas Man
Power in the War is Principal
Argument For Extension.

Washington. Extension of the
draft ages above and below the exist
ing limits, Il to 81 years-was dis
cussed at length in the Senate during
consideration of an amendment by
Senator Fall of New Mexico, to the
1900, 900 army appropriation bill
to substitute Is years as the minimum
and 45 years as the maximum. The
senator revised the amendment, max
ing the ages 20 to 40, and eliminated
the provision that youths under Il
should not be called into active mill
tary service.
The Fall amendment was vigorously
supported by Senator Reed of Nilsson
ri and others. Opposition was voiced
by Senators Mcclellan of Tennessee
and Kirby of Arkansas, all Democratic
members of the Military Committee
while several other senators declared
they favored raising the maximum
draft age, but opposed lowering the
minimum.
Senator Hitchcock's substitute
amendment fixes the age limits at %
and 40, respectively, and provided CIT
liens of the allied countries resident
in the United States shall be subject
to draft and that nationals of neutral
countries shall be barred from Amer
can citizenship.
Imperative and immediate necessity
for an increase of Americas man
power in the war was the principle
argument of those favoring the
amendment while opponents based
their objections principally. upon the
contention there are sufficient men
now available to meet the War De-
partment's program and that neither
the president nor the department has
asked or approved the proposed ex-
tension of the law.
1t was frequently predicted Glass
l would soon be exhausted and that
unless the age limits are raised there
will be a disruption of industry with
consequent effect upon the war pro-
gram.
Explaining that he favored raising
the age limit, Senator Shields of Ten
nessee suggested that by lowering the
age to 10 youths would be taken from
farms and still further cripple food
productions. Senator Chamberlain
said older men not qualified for mill
tary service could be substituted on
| the farms.
Opposing the Fall amendment SEN
ator Kirby of Arkansas, a Military
Committee member, who opposed the
original draft law, said it is uneces-
sary at this time, and has not been
approved either by President Wilson
or the War Department. Senator Fall
observed that the department had not
disapproved the plan, and that Gen
eral Crowder has endorsed its princi-
pie.

order requesting the completion OF
this work. The questionnaires are also
to be placed in the files in consecutive
order number, rather than by alpha
betical order, as first supposed.
A number OF other items of work
have been requested of the board,
which will prolong the existence OF

have been assisting the local board
are to remain until the work is com
pleted. it is understood.

CITY TO MAKE
SURVEY OF CAR
LINES NEEDS
COMPANY WILL THEN BE TOLD To
MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN SERV-
ICE WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE.

A survey OF the needs OF the Pensa-
cola Electric company, in the way OF
paraphernaiia, is to be undertaken at
the direction of the city commission
ers. When these needs have been
ascertained the company will be re-
quested to take such action as will en-
able them to furnish the service
agreed upon in the franchise granted
them by the city.
This action was determined upon at
the meeting OF the city commissioners
which was held yesterday in the city
hall. Legal advice has given the com
missioners the idea that such sur
vey would enable them to impose
upon the electric company definite ac-
tion to remedy the poor service which
is now prevalent.
Just what action is to be taken by
the commissioners should the COM
pany refuse to make the necessary
additions to its equipment as advised
by the city, was not announced. Con-
tinued complaints received by the
commissioners from hundreds OF pat
rons Of the company have necessita-
ted the action. 1t is suggested at the
city hall that summary action be TAX
en- should the company refuse to bet
ter it's facilities.
