AUSTRIANS FLEE
BEFORE ITALIANS
AUSTRIAN LOSSES IN HUNGER
DRIVE AGAINST ITALIANS
PLACED AT 100,000.
UNREST IN AUSTRIA
British, Fronch and AiYicricein Troops
Raid German Line in Franoo.
Teutons Prepart for
New Attack.
The Austrian offensive on the Ital-
ian front no' only has failed to attain
the objectives aimed at by the com-
manders, but has been turned into de-
feat, and the Austrlans this week are
retiring in disorder before the power-
ful counter attacks of the Italian,
French and British armies. The offi-
cial report from Rome says "on the
Piave Kiver from the Montello Plateau
to the Adriatic, the defeated Austro-
Hungarlans are recrosaing the river in
disorder," and they are everywhere
closely pursued by the Italian troops.
The defeat of the Austrian armies in
Italy, coupled with the resignation of
the entire Austrian cabinet, which, ac-
cording lo reports from Vienna, was
presented to Emperor Charles Satur-
day, may bring on revolt or uprisings
in the dual monarchy that have long
been expected. It is generally admit-
ted that the offensive in Italy was a
hunger offensive and was ordered be-
cause of the grave food shortage, and
now that it has failed, other ways of
securing food or stopping the war may
be seized on by the desperate and war-
weary people.
For some days the Austrians have
been fighting tn

which they had occupied on the south-
ern aide of the Piave, which swollen
by floods offered a serious obstacle to
their retirement. Now they are re-
ported hastily crossing that stream 011
the tew remaining bridges, practically
all the pontoon bridges which the in-
vaders threw across the river having
been washed away by the floods.
The Austrian losses are placed at
180,000 or more, the casualties having
been particularly heavy during the
hours that marked the beginning of
the attack when the Italian artillery,

AMERICAN FEDERATION
OF LABOR CONVENTION
Stand-by-the-Government Attitude
Apparent in Every Action of
Convention.
St. Paul.—After re-electing most of
its officers, the American Federation
of Labor concluded its sessions Thurs-
day and adjourned to meet next year
in Atlantic City, N. J.
President Samuel Gompers, Wash-
ington ; Secretary Frank Morrison,
Washington, and Treasurer Daniel J.
Tobin, Indianapolis, were re-elected
without opposition.
James O'Connell, Washington, sec-
ond vice president and officer of the
federation for t on f v.f li ynrt vnn vet n n
nounced he would not be a candidate
for re-election because of certain reg-
ulations in the nnion to which be be-
longed.
Accordingly, each re-elected vice
president was moved up one step on
the list.
The following other officers were
elected:
Firbt vice president, James Duncan,
Quincy, Mass., re-elected; second vice
president, Joseph E. Valentine, Cmcin-
"T third vice president, JohnAc-
tions.
Along the northern part of the line
in the Aslago region French forces
captured the Austrian positions at Ber-
tigo and Rennar, while Italian troops
captured Costaluga. East of this re-
gion and north of tho Montebellana
railway the Italians forced the Aus-
trians to withdraw their whole front
and captured 1.22P prisoners.
Both British and French troops are
raiding German lines in the Somrae
area, according to the German official
report, which claims that these attacks
collapsed under German fire.
Between the Marne and Rheims the
Germans attacked Mount Bligny and
gained a footing, according to the
French report, but they were immedi-
ately ejected with heavy casualties.
Little activity along the fronts held
by the British and Americans are in-
dicated in the reports from headquar-
ters of General Ilaig and General
Pershing.
Information which has come to the
hands of the allies shows that the Ger-
mans are preparing to soon deliver the
most gigantic blow of the entire war.
The period of lull at present is said
to be the calm before the storm. The
Germans have felt the force of the
Americans sufficiently to know that
every day's delay means the lessening
of their chances to push the allies back
toward the sea or to Paris.
No matter where the blow comes,
the Americans are certain to be in the
line. There is plenty of evidence at
hand to justify the statement that the
Americans soon will be called upon to
sustain a vaster attack than ever be-
fore has been directed against them.
The Germans have an abundance of
manpower, but their shock troops and
also their high-grade divisions are
lacking. These units have lost heavily
since the big attack started on March
21, but the losses of the allies have
been heavy, too, so the relative
s!6^ngth of the Germafis .and the allies
remains practically the same.
According to the information given
to me, Germany now has fifty reserve
divisions for a new offensive, plus one
hundred and fifty-three in the line.
However, the number of men iir'each
division has been reduced consider
ably.
It is no secret tiiat the allies expec£
the Germans to throw their superla-
tive strength into the attack now
threatening. This will be directed on
a wide front, but it is likely to reach
a climax in the neighborhood of
Amiens, where they are sure to com*
into contact with the American*.

olis; sixth Yice president, William F.
Mahon, Detroit; seventh vice presi-
dent, Thomas A. Rickert,, Chicago, and
eighth vice president, Jacob Fischer,
Indianapolis.
Rickert displaced H. B. Perham, St.
Louis, who was an officer of the fed-
eration for more . than ten years.
The convention, which was in ses-
sion for nearly two weeks, is regard-
ed as one of the most Important in the
history of the federation. Patriotism
and a stami-by-the-government atti-
tude were apparent in every action of
the convention. Virtvilly every line
of business was subordinated to con-
form with a program of contribution
to the success of the government's
war aims.

Liquor Shipments to Be Allowed.
Austin, Tex.—The attorney generul
Friday held that after June 25 intoxi-
cating liquors may be shipped out of
Texas, provided the sale thereof does
not take place within the State. The
statewide dry law is effective June 25,
also the anti-sliipping statute. Under
the ruling these two laws do not inter-
fore with the shipment of the liquor
out of Texas, nor does the zone law
prevent it. In every instance the sale
must be consummated beyond the bor-
ders of the State. Breweries may
make beer up to June 26 and have
large stocks on hand. They can ship
their products out of Texas. Where a
shipment is made from Fort Worth to
St. Louis and it is consigned f.o.b. St.
Louis, the attorney general holds the
sale is made in St. Louis and is per-
missible.
New Type Unslnkable Ship.
Washington.—A new type of "un-
sinkable" ship is being built in Amer
ica. It became known Thursday that
contracts for ten of the vessels have
been let by the French government to
an American yard. The design is the
work of a Frenchman and embodies
principles hitherto untried, details of
which are being kept secret.
Prices of News Print Fixed.
Washington.—Maximum news print
paper prices were fixed Wednesday
by the federal trade commission, in
accordance with an agreement be-
tween the attorney general and manu-
facturers of the United States and
Canada, as follows; Roll news in car-
lots, $3.10 per luu pounds; roii new»
In lesB than carlots, $3.22%; sheet

The Malaria Mosquito
A mosquito cannot communicate malaria unless
it is infected with malaria. The bite of a malaria
mosquito will transmit malarial parasites to the
blood of a person and these malarial parasites which
feed on the blood should be destroyed before they
have time to increase in numbers. Malarial Fever is
sometimes called Chills and Fever, Bilious Fever and
Swamp Fever.
