The Clinton News Record, 1918-7-4, Page 3ITALIANS TURN OFFENSIVE AGAINST
ENEMY IN MOUNTAIN REGION
Sweep Entire Western ]Lank of the Pave Clear of 1 oe•-
Nulmerous Prisoners and War Material Captured.
A. despatch from London says::
Holding the .upper hand along 't110
borders of the Venetiaii plain, the
Italians have turned on the offensive
against the enemy in the mountain
region and are attacicing en various
sectors, Notable gains of ground
have been made and in addition to
heavy casualties inflicted on the en-
'only, a large number of Austrians
have been made prisoner, and 10 ma-
chine guns have been captured,
The Italians at last have cleared
the remaining Austrian rear guards
from the west bank of the Piave river
and now are in possession of the en-
tire river front, from the Montalto
plateau to the sea. At last accounts
their river forces which crossed the
stream in pursuit of . the. retreating
Austrians were still harassing them.
Reuter'scorrespondent at Italian
headquarters telegraphs that it is
estimated that the Italians have tak-
en 20,000 Austrians prisoner since
the commencement of the offensive.
The Italian War Office statemeatt
has not as yet announced the total
number of prisoners. The figures of
40,000 published were merely esti-
mates given out by Italian officials.
A later despatch from Rome says:
All the positions held by the Austrians
on the lower Piave, constituting the
Gape Silo bridgehead, have now been
taken by the Italians, and the entire
Western bank of. the Piave is clear of
the enemy. Nearly • 400 prisoners
were taken in the enterprise,
Aside from this fighting there has
been little activity In the southern sere
tion of the Italian theatre. Seemingly
the chase, of the enemy on the eastern
bank of the Piave is ended, at least
for •the time being. In the mountains
heavy bombardments are in progress
in various sectors, and intensive aerial
operations are going on along the -en-
tire front. The Rome War Office re-
asserts that all the artillery lost, by
the Italians to the Austrians in the
initial stage of the fighting has been
recaptured.

MANY U-BOATS
SUNK DURING MAY
British Navy Reaped Beat Har-
vest 'let Recorded,
A despatch from London says: "`Phe
month of May was really the moat
favorable we have yet had."
This le the comment of Archibald
S Hurd, the naval writer, ht the Daily
Telegraph, He adds;
"It is common knowledge that ow-
ing to the large number of submar-
ines destroyed the enemy paid a
higher price for every ton o1 shipping
seek than in any corresponding period
since piracy was inaugurated."
"The offensive by sea was still be
ing maintained by the Germane
during May with the utmost vigor,
but in spite of the unprecedented
number of^'submarines sent to sea
only 224,000 tons of British tonnage
was lost, as compared with 374,000 in
May of last year.
"In spite of the fact that losses
from marine risks were 'Anduly
heavy,' it can now be said definitely
that the enemy's effort to cripple us
by sea by an offensive simultaneous
to attacks on the western front has
failed definitely.
"Although exact' figures are want-
ing of the shakings of submarines, it
is known they reached .a higher
figure last month than in any period
since the submarine•,campaign began.
WAR KITCHENS IN IIOLLAND.
Supply Wholesome Food at a Nominal
Price.
Emergency ldtehens were not known
in Holland before the war, but .are
now established in all the larger cities
for the purpose of supplying the poor
as well as the families of small means
with one warm and wholesome meal a
day at a nominal price.
In The Hague are three such kitch-
ens which are well"` patronized and
have accomplished a great amount of
good. One was established by the
municipal government and is mainly
intended for the use of the really poor
of the city.
It is centrally located and furnishes
to all callers one meal daily for 4
cents. The food is wholesome and
plentiful in spite of the low price. As
.en illustration, the menu for one week
follows: Monday, oatmeal, milk, but-
ter and sugar; Tuesday, potatoes, car-
rots, onions and beef; Wednesday, pe -
airplanes, and three of our machines
have not returned."

SUMMER'S FLOWERS.
Now is the Time to Plan Next Year's
Planting,
Most of us are only interested in
roses when they are in bloom. We ad-
mire their color, their grace, and their
fragrance. If only we could plant
them when we are enthusiastic about
the blossoms, we would have the fin-
est collection of roses imaginable.
The same is true of other flowers.
When violets or asters or mignonettes
or columbines are in bloom, then we
want them -then only do we think of
planting them.
Right now, when so many flowers
are in bloom, we can take a lesson
from our past experience. We can
look about the yards of our friends
and neighbors in town and country,
pick out the kind and varieties of
flowers that we especially love, make
note of attractive methods of group-
ing them, and find out from our
friends the best methods of planting'
and growing them.
Any farm home can be macle beau-
tiful with flowers. The country, not
the city, is the natural place for flow-
ers, and it is he their natural place
that they aro loveliest. Flowers will
do more than any other one, thing to
make the farm borne attractive and
to keep the old place a blessed real-
ity, or --if the children leave it, -40
blessed memory, in the hearts of al
who have ever lived there.

INVITE ENGLISH TO COME,
Seamen Murdered -Officer Wounded
4 Many Times Before lie Was
Forced to Yield Wheel,
During naval operations along the
coast of what was German Past
Africa a party of British bluejackets
were trapped and murdered through
the treachery of a German Governor,
says a recent London despatch,
Official records now available show
that the German Governor of Dar-es-
Salaam had agreed to regard as Brit-
ish prizes all German merchant boats
lying in that harbor, and in due course
ho received an order that their en-
gines must be disabled. An hour la-
ter white flags were hoisted at the
harbor mouth, by way of inviting the
English to come and see that their or-
der had been obeyed. Working parties
in steam pinnaces and other boats
were at once sent from our warships
to make the inspection.
Acted Treacherously.
No sign was made from the shore
until our boats were well within
range. Then a treaeheroue fire was
opened upon them, it being difficult
to believe that this was the work of
civilized human beings, and not of
heathen savages or downright brute
beasts of the African jungle. Pre-
sumably the authors of this outrage
were filled with glee as, peering
through their pallisades, they saw
what was happening to the astonish-
ed crew of the foremost boat; the
stoker falling dangerously wounded, a
seaman hit in the head and collapsing,
the coxswain shot in the leg and with
blood flowing from his mouth. Other
things happened in that boat. Lieu-
tenant Corson, with great pluck and
presence of mind, dashed forward and
kept the fires going, And the
doubly wounded coxswain stuck to his
poet. "I'm all right, sir," he sang
out; "we'll soon be out of the chan-
nel:' Thanks largely to him, so they
were.
Commander Henry P. Ritchie was
in another steam pinnace. ,He manoeu-
vered to draw the main fire and so
save the boats that were following.
Rounding a bend and entering the
harbor, that pinnace was assailed
from all quarters. Several men were
wounded, including the eoxswain, his
place being taken by an A. B., who
presently was himself hit. Having
by this time had his wound bandaged,
the coxswain retuned to his post, but
soon collapsed.

Britain's fleet of mine -sweeping ves-

others with experience of the sea. A

ventilation is given the system is
weakened, and the chickens come from
the coop in the morning weak and tot-
