He is resuming his b.t to ring rani tactics in the mountain section. In the last three days, the AusIrians have attacked the new Ital a ) line in* the Frcnzela and Bella valleys, where important positions were wrested from the Austrians a sho time ago. The enemy preceded hi attacks by violent bombardments, but when the Austrian infantrymen a tempted to press forward as they did in the Bella valley by advancing into the Selli and Vallette woods, they came under the fire of Italian avtilery and machine guns which compelled them to beat a retreat with enormous losses before even reaching the Italian trenches. The Austrians met with another | and equally severe check in the Frcne el a vulley yesterday. Tn the course of this fighting, Lioutenant Ranza, an aviator, brought down two enemy airplanes, increasing the number of his victories in aerial encounters to sixteen. o NOTICE OF SALE.

I am very sorry to have to accuse some one ol* spreading sonic false reports about me, relative to acting a.v a slacker I literally deny that 1 1 1. t % . i 1 iiuvi: ever nuu any alien mougnts in mind. On or about Aug. 13th, 101.7, while in the employment ot' the Western Union Telegraph Company at Richmond, Va., as assistant polo inspector, 1 was given a vacation f?><a period of ]."> days, and on arriving in town, it was told to me many times that orders had been received to arrest me, and take me into or. today, where and when found. All of this was very embarrassing- news to me for I had not been notified to appear before the local board and up to this day I have not received my notict, to appear before the local board for medical examination. 1 am thankful to say that I am m? slacker or deserter, and I have as good a record as any soldier in the U. IS. Army. I am a true red blooded Ani riean, and I am putting forth all the will power that I have to aid in nvakng the world free for democrae; , and to demolish autocracy. The one good thing a young man an do to obey the above is to repond to Ids country's call, and take he training that Uncle Sam give.dim. The throe important thing's m ".ih'tary affairs are obedience, comosy, and discipline, the former being V* most important, as it is a soi ilrorV duty. Vve are in I ho war to win and n >t go under, and thorc is not a man o aoman in this united kingdom hu who can do a great pan in wint\?n;. the war. The young men can d< their part by responding to the couiv-. tiy'fl cail, and the women can do their part by economizing in cooking, cook with care, serve just enough, cook what will spoil and save what will keep. Alleviate frills, flares, ruffles, end extra cuffs, and save the woolens for the soldier boys. It is really impossible for me to compliment the V. M. C. A. ami the !led Cross as much as I want to. Tlu V. M. C. A. is one of the grandest things in a training camp. It prevents many thousands of soldier boyTom becoming disheartened and blue and make them more loyal to thee duty. I can not forget the Red Cross. 1 consider that it is doing; a great patriotic duty. 1 certainly think something of the Red Cross, whom or where they may he.
