ITALIANS BRILLIANT WORK.
TROOPS CAPTURE DOMINATING
POSITION By MOONLIGHT.
Scale Monte COrnO-Attack Austrians
by Surprise and Take Place of Great
Strategic Value.

Italian Army Headquarters, Satur-
day, May IL (By the Associated
Press) After a long period of mac
tivity, owing to weather conditions,
Italian troops on the mountain front
executed a brilliant operation last
night, capturing the dominating po-
sition, Of Monte COrno, destroying an
elaborate system of enemy defenses
of machine guns and much war ma
terial. The action was in the Arsa
valley, which leads down the La
garina valley and is the main line of
approach from Trent and Rovereto.
1t was here that the Austrians at
tempted to reach the Venetian plain
in the first great offensive.
There was considerable snow re-
manning on Monte Corno, which is
5000 feet high. This increased the
difficulties Of movement Of the com
paratively small Italian force which
carried out the attack.
The infantry advanced over rocky
and precpitOus heights. The enemy
was taken by surprise and could make
little effective resistance. The move
ment was carried out by moonlight
All the enemy's defensive works were
occupied.
The chief effect of the action is to
dislodge the Austrians from the dom
mating height in the center of the
main highway from the mountains
and to give the Italians the advan-
tage of that position with the com
mand it has over the heights and APP
proaches The result gives great sat
sfacton.

FOOD PROFITEER FINED.
Grocer Who Charged Too Much For
Flour permitted" to Pay 500 to
Red Cross

Columbia, May 13.--One hundred
dollars has been added to the Red
Cross fund through contribution
made by concern in South Caro-
lima, at the direction of the Food Ad-
ministratiOn. This concern sold flour
at an excess profit. The grocer claim
ed to be ignorant of the rule concern
ing profits, but William Elliott, food
administrator, held that sufficient
time had elapsed since the rule had
been announced to have enabled ev-
cry grocer in the State to know it, and
the excuse made by this grocer was
not accepted, although its sincerity
was not doubted. This is one of sew
eral cases which have arisen in South
Carolina, through which contributions
have been made TO the Red Cross for
violation of the Food Administration
regulations.

VOLUNTARY FOOD REGULATIONS


Columbia, May 13.-All house
the use of wheat until the next har-
vest, about September /, should do
so, says William Elliott, food admin
istrator for South Carolina The
most critical period as regards the al
lied worlds wheat bin Is at hand, and
the crisis will continue until the next
harvest when the new wheat crop is
available.
The splendid example has been set
for the people of South Carolina by
the South Carolina Federation OF
WOmen's Clubs, who in convention at
Aiken last month pledged more than
5000 women to buy no more wheat
until after the next harvest
Food regulations for househ olders
are briefly stated, as follows:
First, the need of wheat for allied
people and soldiers and the present
shortage is serious enough to war
rant asking the people Of America to
eliminate the use of wheat entirely for
the present. until next harvest.
HOusehOlders who feel they are
obliged to use wheat should not use
more than a total of one and one
half pounds of wheat flour or pre-
pared wheat. in any form. per person
per week. including the wheat -four in
Victory bread, and including the
wheat -four or prepared wheat flour
i'm crackers, macaroni, pastry. break
fast and other foods
In estimating flour consumption ev-
cry one and three-fourths pound of
Victory bread, which is bread manu-
factured by bakers under regulations
OF the United States Food Administra-
tion. may be considered equal to one
pound Of wheat flour.
This rationing requires a more re-
stricted use of wheat than that asked
for by the observance of wheatless
days and wheatless meals.
Meat of any kind can be eaten on
any day, in moderation, but the Food
Administration urges that in view of
the predicted meat shortage which
may be expected a little later, the peO-
pie practice economy in meat con-
sumption.

London, May 1O.-Speaking at the
annual meeting of the Primrose
League today Earl Curzon, govern
ment leader in the house of lords and

defended the British war cabinet. The
present government, he said was pre-

short existence. He continued:

ernment was in weekly if not daily
peril of having an end put to it's ex-
istence.
The present is not a moment for
prophecy 1t is a moment for gra ap-
pling with hard facts, because the
railitary menace is greater than at
any time during the last four years. Ii
may truthfully be said that the enemy
is at our gates"
Earl Curzon said he was thoroughly
astonished at proposals made by re
spOnsible persons to place generals
and admirals inside the cabinet.
Let the generals and admirals," he
! continued, attend cabinet meetings
as they do every day and advise cabi-
net ministers but the moment a SOL

administration the soldier is spoiled
and he does not improve the admins.
