APART FROM REST OF WORLD
People Dwelling In High Valley Of the
Indus Are Isolated, but Com.
pIetely Satisfied.

In the high valley of the Indus,
guarding the entrance to mysterious
Tibet, lies Leh, the capital Of an In
dian province, writes Niksah in Chi
cago Daily News. Leh is not haven
for tourists. Occasionally few trav-
elers with passion for adventure and
a lack of consideration for the COM
forts Of home, work their way through
mountain passes and over rivers, on
caravan ponies and primitive RATS,
and at last reach Leh.
Usually the journey is taken for the
pleasure Of unconventional travel and
not for the purpose of visiting Leh. for
merely to view the town is hardly
worth the hardships Of the trip. II
you are an astronomer, however, you
look at the matter differently. The
meteorological observatory of Leh is
the most elevated in Asia; and your
true lover of the stars will not balk
at the binding snow and scorching sun
which follow one another in such mad
dening succession in the Himalayas.
Devout Buddhists find congenial sur
roundings in Leh, for the neighborhood
is filed with lamasseries, as the mon
asteries Of Tibetan Buddhists are
called. Over half the men are priests,
or "red coats" and spend their days
in the worship Of Buddha. Nowhere
else are there SO many prayer wheels
endlessly revolving. On these wheels
are manuscripts bearing the inscrip-
ton, "Jewel in the lotus, Amen" writ
ten many times. AS the wheel turns,
the paper unwinds and the prayer is
considered said.
The people of this section know little
Of outside affairs. They live at an al
titude Of from 1000 to 10000 feet
above sea level, in the highest popu-
lated altitude in the world. II they de-
scend as low as 5000 feet, the unac-
customed atmosphere causes illness.
But they are happy in their isolation,
and view complacently the monoton-
GUS grandeur Of the mountains, which
cut them off so effectually from the
rest Of the world.

Truly Uaeful Tree.

In Australia cattle and sheep are
fond Of grazing on the foliage Of tho
weeping she-oak or beef-wood, Cas-
aurina qudrivalvis, and some farmers
grow 1t for that purpose. It thrives
In California on poor sandy soil and
is a decidedly ornamental tree.

ALLIES RETAKE GROUND
LOST TO GERMANS
Counter Attack Sweeps Xack Advance
Ing TeutOn Line-Britisll Ar
tiIlery Collects Bloody Toll
From Enemy Ranks

New York, May 9.-The allied de-
tense on the Flanders front southwest
of Ypres has again been tested by the
Germans and has been found adequate.
Two divisions of Teuton troops were
employed on a relatively short front
and were sent into the fight under
cover OF a terrific artillery fire. The
front chosen for the attack extended
from the village Of LaClytte to Voor-
mezeele, hut the center OF the assault
seems to have been at Vierstraat, a
hamlet northeast of KENNEL hill
The fl2nks of the Germans attack
ing the line were stopped by fire
from the French and British artillery
posted on high ground and which was
able to enflaie the German regiments
as they tried to advance In the cen
ter, however, the Germans made quite
a serious dent in the lied line. Last
night however the allies drove for
ward in a counte:-2.tack and the lat
est reports from Field Marshal H2ig
are that the line has been re-establish-
ed The Germans are reported to have
lost very hesHily.

BLOW At ITALY BY AUSTRIANS
SEEMS CLOSE At HAND
Central Allies to Make Effort to Reach
Venetians Plains-Venice Threat
ened-Quiet on West
ern FrOEt.

New York, May 5.-Over the battle
lines along the Piayc river and in the
mountainous region in northern Italy
where the allied forces have been
holding their positions since last No
vember. after the great Italian retreat
from the Isonzo, there is increased
tension and the long threatened blow
at this front may be launched by the
Teutonic allies within a few days.
For many weeks the Italian War Of
flee has been aware that Austrians
have been assembling legiOns with
drawn from the Russian and Rumanian
fronts for drive the Italian armies.
end it is believed that it will not be
long before the central powers will
make another attempt to reach the
plains of Venetia, break through the
allies line and seek to bring about
a decisive combat in that theater OF
the var.
Emperor Charles Of Austria, accom-
panied by his chief of staff and high
German and Austrian army officers,
is reported on his way to the Italian
front and the great movement of
troops in Tyrol and TrentinO would
seem to indicate that vast bodies of
men are being taken from other
fronts to be hurled at the Italian posi-
i tions.
Venice Is Menaced.
The blow, it is generally believed,
, will fall somewhere in the mountain
Gus section of the front, probably in
! the La Garino and As stico valleys
These sectors face the north, and ii
broken would permit the foe to pene-
| trate into the lower foothills OF the
mountains, or even reach the plains
Ii this should occur the armies along
the Fiave river would be compelled to
fall back, probably as far as the
Adige river. This would entail the loss
of Venice and ai vast eXpanse Of coun-
tiy to the enemy.
The decision to launch an offensive
OF grand proportions in italy was
doubtless forced by political and eco
nomic conditions prevailing in Aus
tria An offensive campaign that yields
gains of ground might serve to still
the elements which are seethine
throughout the dual empire and would
| postpone the day of reckoning that
seems in store for the rulers of Aus
tria.

OVERSEAS ARMY NOW OVER
HALF A MILLION STRONG
More Americans in France Than Pro.
missed, Says Mr.. Baker-Numb-
er Not Told Secretary
Enthusiastic.

Washington, May 8.-More than
half million American soldiers have
been sent to France. Secretary Baker
today authorized the statement that
his forecast to Congress in January
that 100000 troops would be dis
patched to France early in the pres
ent year now has been surpassed.
Mr. Baker dictated the following
statement:
I'm January 1 told the Senate Com
mittee that there was strong likelihood
that early in the present year 500 900
American troops would be dispatched
to France. l cannot either now or
perhaps later discuss the number
of American troops in France, but 1
am glad to be able to say that the
forecast l made in January has been
surpassed"
AS result of personal investiga-
ton OF machine gun production dur
ing the past few days, the secretary
announced that there is no present
shortage of light or heavy types of
these weapons either in France or
America and no shortage is nj pros
pect.
Using Browning Gun.
Mr.. Baker said there had been no
question brought up as to the supplies
OF light Browning guns which were
coming forward in quantities. He
would not say whether shipment of
these guns to France had been started.
AS to the heavy BroWnings, he said:
EARLY manufacturers estimates as
to the production of the heavy type
perhaps were more optimistic than was
| justified The estimate of the Ord
nance Department in January has
been met and is being met. Some of
these heavy guns have been produced
and there is every indication of forth
coming production in increasing and
substantial numbers"
There are indications that the war
Department adhered to it's policy OF
equipping every man fully before his
departure. Mr. Bakers conclusions as
to machine guns follow on the heels
of pessimestic statements by members
of Congress in this regard. In the dis
cussion OF the production of Browning
machine guns, contracts for other
types apparently have been lost sight
