AUSTRIAN STATEMENT

Vienna, June 26-(Via London )--The
 official report from general headquar- ters today says:
 "On the fronts west of the Adige fight ing activity has been lively during the past few days. On the Zugana ridge
 we repulsed strong thrusts initiated by vigorous gun fire, with heavy enemy i losses.
 "On the Asiago plateau and between 1 the Brenta and the Piave yesterday was appreciably quieter. The bitter struggle of June "A ended in complete failure for the Italians which was most perceptible
 in the disputed regions on Asolone and Monte Pertca. Detachments, pursuing
 the enemy, captured several sectors of
 his front line. Thanks to the bravery and determined attacks of our troops,
 all the Italian efforts to recapture the | ground they lost on June 15 sanguinari- | ly failed
 The latest official reports from Aus l trian headquarters in declaring that "all the Italian efforts to recapture the 1 ground they lost on June 115 sanguinari-
 ly failed" constitutes a denial of the I claims made by the Italian war office 1 and is contrary to the facts as cabled l from the Italian front by the Associated Press correspondent and the special rep l resentatives of the various newspapers | who have followed the operations since the beginning.
 Virtually all the reports from the Ital- 1 ian front have described the recent op- erations as a great victory for the ltal- ian arms, with the Austrians panic stricken, beating hasty retreat beyond the east bank of the Piave. The Austrian official communication makes no mention of the Italian attacks between the Brenta and the Piave, which inflicted heavy losses on the enemy forces and resulted in the capture Of many hundreds of Austrians, beyond the mere assertion that conditions In that territory yesterday were 'appreclaoiy quieter."

Registration on June S

The officials of Local Board
No. 3 have received instructions
relative to preparations necessary
for the registration of young men
who will attain the age of 81
years up to June 5 this year. Ac-
cording to the war department
the registration will take place on
that date.
The local board will have en-
tire supervision over the registra-
ton of the men. The board will
appoint registrars for the various
precincts and will, as far as pos
sible, use public buildings as the
places for registering the men.
Every effort will be made to have
the work completed with dis
patch so that the report of the
number of registrants, can be
turned over to the war depart
ment Immediately.
The number of registrants in
each district is expected to be
about the same as that of last
June for those of 81 years. This
total throughout tn e country
amounted to 1914 per cent of the
total registration, which included
citizens 81 to 81 years of age.

Recreation Discussed

By invitation of the board of
School District No. IL, j. r.
Bachelor, recreational director
of the City of Duluth, addressed
an audience at the city hall Mon
day evening on the subject of su-
pervised public recreation in this
city. The city hall was filled to
the doors and for nearly two
hours Mr.. Bachelor dwelt on the
advantages of the playground
proposition and the subject of
recreation not only for the child
but also for the grownups.
His talk was one of the best it
has ever been our pleasure to
hear. He showed conclusively
that a playtime was as necessary
to the. human being as was the
eating time. His talk took up
only the moral side of the sub
ject, so he said, but in his all too
short address he touched on ali
sides of the question. The audi
ence was most agreeably carried
away with his points and illustra-
tions. After the address several
remained to talk over various
phases Of the subject. The re-
suit of Mr.. Bachelors visit will
bear fruit so we are informed and
the prospects for recreational di-
rector here are of the best.
The Miner has been consistent
advocate of physical training in
the schools for some time and sim
cerely hopes that with the COOP
Grafton of the city council, the
district will be able to get the play
ground proposition into peedy
tangible shape.
