THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS
AGO TODAY

July %, 1915-Neither Neuve Cha
pelle nor Tyres should stand out as
more grimly terrible than the battle
that was being fought currently along
the eastern part of the Austro-Italian
frontier.
While regular seige-operations were
carried on against Tolmino and Gori-
zia the Italians were putting forth
great efforts to secure possession of
the Carso plateau that dominated the
railroad and highway between Manfal-
cone and Trieste, as we'll as the Ison-
20 Valley as far as Gorilla. This pla-
teau had to be completely subjected
before any advance could be made
along the coast toward Trieste, the
much needed objective.
The warfare had no equivalent on
any other part of the European battle
fronts. One illustrative example,
found in dispatches of Leonard Adelt
to the Berliner Tageblatt, was that of
an officer and a corporal of artillery,
who lived for four months in q cavern
in the rocks of an elevation of more
than 1000 meters, directing by tele-
phone wire laid over the rocks, the

these books, whiN the local dealers
also collected a profit of 10 per cent.
The next textbook rental commits
sion, however, is setting up system
under which all basel books, at least
in the elementary grades, will be
rented to the children at rental cost
of not more than one-third of the
