Ireneh militavy anthorities, will the
1Germens breals through these lines,
'At Rheims, as at Noyan, the enemy
fell short of his elemental surpriee.
Everything had been carefully prepar-
ed. French batteries of field and
heavy guns, which bad been placed in
position, cpsicklY answered the Ger-
man bombardment. French air Pis
lots, who had previously reconnoitred
the country, picked out the German
reserves and bombed them, had sig-
nalled their presence to the French
guns, which poured forth a murdering
fire on the enemy's lines and corn -
=libations, thereby greatly impeding
!the advance ex his shook reserve
Ithoope.
Germany's impressions of the su-
perior quality of Preach resistance
are revealed by letters., fonad on
prisoners made in the recent attack.
One of these is typical of the morale
of the German soldier. This letter
sap: Enthusiasm and ardor have
disappeared, The German army now
begin e to realize that the time of
easy victories has passed, and that
it will again see its soldiers piled up
into walls of corpses. The memory
of Verdun is being refreshed,
French military circles regard the
German attack at Rheims as a local
action, They believe their main ef-
fort will still be either northward to-
ward the channel ports or southward
toward Paris.
AUSTRIAN ARMY
SHORT OF FOOD
Prisoners Ate on First Day All
Rations Intended to Last Un-
til They Reached Italian
Stores.
A despatch from Italian Army
Headquarters, says: -.Ab the begin-
ning of the offensive the Austrians
in the front line each received three
rations of meat, one for each day of
the attack until they reached the
Italian stores. They were so hungry,
however, that they ate all of them the
first day.
During a tour of the battlefront the
correspondent talked with an Austrian
prisoner, a member of a manufactur-
ing firm with offices in all the great
world centres. ,
"I have been fighting for forty
moaths," said the prisoner, "First,
on the Russian front, where I had an
easy time, and now here, where the
Italians are making things too hot for
us. There is no food for the people
of .A.ustria, and next to none for the
army. I had but a few pieces of
bread and potatoes before the fight
and since the fight began I have had
none.
"The army cannot last more than
a couple of months at the best. There
are no good officers left. We have
plenty of ammunition, but no one to
use it properly."
The Italian losses were compara-
tively small, while to the known Aus-
trian losses will have to be added the
,anpany Austrian dead which still en-
cumber the wooded mountain sides,

MILITARY SERVICE ACT
HAS SUPPLIED 71,102.
A despateh from Ottawa says: The
following statement was issued on
- Thursday by the Department of Mil-
itia and Defence:
"In conaection with the recent pub-
lished returns, covering the opera-
tions of the Military Service Act, it
is evident from some of the comment
in the press that the form in which
the statement was made out has led
to misunderstanding as to the total
number of men obtained in relation to
the 100,000 reinforcements authoriz-
ed by the statute.
"The total number of men obtain-
ed by the machinery of the Military
Service Act up to June 19 was 67,295,
to which may be added for the pur-
pose of determining the number of
men available, 16,807 who have re-
ported voluntarily,"
ANOTHER BIG HARVEST
OF THE SEA.
BRITISH DAILY DEMOLISH
ZEEBRUGGE REPAIRS.
A despatch from Amsterdam says:
The eutranee to the harbor at Zee-
brugge is blocked, adecading to
Limits. George Coward and John Read,
of the British Royal Air Force, who
landed in the" Province of Zeeland,
Monday, and.. are to be interned at
The Hague, In an interview publish-
ed in the Telegraaf, they say thmGer-
mans are working day and night to
clear the passage, but each nigh
British aviators demolish the man's progress. The cement ships
sunk in the harbor are still there, and
the Germans are afraid to blow them
up for fear they will also destroy the
sluices, The lieutenants assert that
no submarines can enter or leave Zee-
brugge, 'Pile blockade of Ostend is
not so complete, but the Germans are
having great trouble there.
FOOD BOARD'S REMINDER OF
STARVATION IN FRANCE.
A despatch from Ottawa says: A
bulletin issued by the Canada Food
Board reads as follows:
The population of France, ou
ally in this war, was about 89,000,000
when the war broke out. About 7,
000,000 able-bodied men were con
scripted, 1,000,000 have since bee:
killed, and over 1,000,000 more were
put out of action. Agricultural pro-
duction has dropped to nearly one-
third. Women, childnen, old men and
crippled soldiers are struggling to
till the fields of France. Horses were
also conscripted for military service,
and French women hitched themselves
to the plows and harrows in place of
draft animals. Frenchmen are fight-
ing Germans, French women are
fighting starvation. Deaths from
starvation among the allies in Europe
since the war are estimated at 4,-
790,000.
PARIS AIR DEFENCE
VASTLY IMPROVED.
A despatch from Paris says: The
Germans have attempted 14 air raids
main Paris since Jan, 31, but only
twenty-two of the more than three
hundred machines which took part
have succeeded in flying over the
city, according to a record of the en-
emy efforts. Nine of the twenty-two
machines were brought down.
Thereupon the Whole Party
Went Over to the Italian Lines
A despalch with the Italian Armies,
ay: -The Italian soldiers tell hum-
orous stories of captures effected by
persuading the Austrians that they
vill be well fed. One Italian officer ,
who had been wounded and picked up
y a group of Austrians who intended
o make him prisoner explained how
oolish they were. He said: "Come
vith me, and you will get meat, wine
nd real bread," Thereupon the whole
arty went over to the Italian lines.
Teutons Garbed as Italians
Put to Death When Captured.

A despatch from Rome says: Rat-
ian military officials learned before
the Austrian offensive began that the
Austrians had dressed Italian-speak-
ing soldiers in Italian uniforms in or-
der to throw them at a suitable Mo -

AUSTRIAN LINE DRIVEN IN
BEFORE ITALIAN ONSLAUGHT
Further Gains on Piave River and Towns Recaptured by Allies -
Enemy is Now Twenty Miles From Venice.
A despatch from London says: -To
all outward appearances the Austrian
offensive in the Italian theatre thus
far has met with failure all along the
front from the Venetian Alps to the
Adriatic Sea.
In the Trill region additional ground
has been recaptured from the invaders,
while along the Piave River, where
intensive fighting is in progress, at
some points with fluctuating results,
the balance toward ultimate, victory
seems to sway in favor of the Italian
arms.
South and east of Asiago the French
and Italians, in brilliant 'counter -of-
fensives, have retaken Penner, Bertigo
and Costalungs, past which the Aus-
trians had hoped to push their front
and gain the Astico River Valley,
which leads to Vicenza on the plains
below,
Still farther south, between Fos-
salta and San Dona di Piave, the
Italians have farther pushed back the
invaders, and unofficial reports assert
that they have recaptured the village
of Capo Sile, lying on the edge of
the marsh region, some twenty miles
oast of historic Venice.
It is not outside the range of pos-
sibility that a large number of the
Austrians are in a fair way to be tak-
en prisoner by the Italians, for a large
number of the pontoon bridges which
they threw acvoss the Piave River
over the 14% -mile front between the
Conegiano Railway bridge and the
Zenson loop have been carried away on
the bosom of the swollen stream. At
any rate the loss of these bridges will
necessarily seriously impede the rein-
forcement of the Austrians on the
west bank of the stream and the re-
plenishment of their supplies.

Kidding the Censor.
When Stephen Crane was reporting
the Greco -Turkish war he had occa-
sion to write of a battle in which the
Turks turned and fled before the en-
emy. Crane watched with disgust the
;Turkish censor toning down his =nu-
t script, and finally that worthy came to
the word "routed."
"This won't do," he said; "we must
have a euphemism here. What would
;you suggest?"
"If I were you," said Crane sarcas-
tically, "I'd simply say that the in-
domitable Turks changed front and
advanced."
