ITIAUANS CONTINUE HOLD JITJNS WHO CROSSED RIVER ALMOST ANXIHILIATEl). If Piave Line Can Re Held for a Few Days Longer, Tide Will Re 5 Turned, It Is Said. * Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy, Saturday, Nov. 17.?The battle of the Piave river, as it will be known, now has developed to a stage where the enemy's first attempts to v Make a breach in the Italian lines have failed. This defensive result has not only been accomplished by f the Italian army, but time has been secured to effect that recovery from the retreat which will permit the ^ army to resume its offensive power 4 as well as its defensive. The enemy was taking full advantage of the delicate period after the retreat knowing that every day counted for the restoration of the solidity of the Italian force.. In this knowledge, too, the Italian supreme command is proceeding methodically. Tide Will Turn. One hears talk in high quarters tonight if the Piave line1 holds another few days the tide will be turned as its successful defense through six fearful days has established that the enemy has line limitation. Thus far nothine bevond battal ions have crossed the river. Only at Zenson and at Grisolera are there any serious lodgments on the west bank of the Piave and today the enemy was forced back to the river at Zenson and elsewhere. It is because the Piave has resisted so well that the enemy now is turning his attention to the north and trying to make a i breach there, which he failed to make on the Piave. The line on the north runs along Asiago, Cismon and Quero, and there the Italian position remains virtually unchanged. In the where the mountain line joins the Piave the Italian position has been moved a little farther back, not in giving ground, but to solidify the whole northern front from Mont Toniarecar, on the. west, to the Piave on the east, thus consolidating the defense at the center and on both of the wings. r Amazed at Scenery Here. __ Vt' s "A few years ago when I first came to the United States I was confronted on numerous occasions by the suggestion that Americans ought * to 'see America first,'" remarked M. A. Avery, a resident of London, at tiie Willard. "I was indifferent to the suggestion, because I really had never given any thought of the vastness of this country or to its wonders. But since the European war began I hav? had opportunity to tour the I . Western States, and I may say that I have been astounded. "Last year I made a trip to Glacier Park, and was amazed at the woniers of the scenery. I have traveled in the Alps, which I believe to be the most stupendous mountains on J earth and far beyond anything else in scenic splendor, but after a visit - +? niom'ar Part T frmnd I was wrong. IV VI1UV/4VA A %*? M ? - W ? "If the Rocky mountains of that i section of the United States do not surpass in grandeur the scenery of the Alps, surely they equal it, and I believe in many particulars they are far grander. There are differences, of course, but in a measure the Rocky mountains are remarkably similar to the Alps. "Europe has nothing to compare ' with the Yosemite valley, and Niagra stands alone as a cataract. It g has been said that the Victoria Falls of South Africa are greater and more splendid than Niagara but I do not agree with this view. Victoria Falls are wonderful, but Niagara is more go. I hope that utilitarians and those who are clamoring for water power may never succeed in their efforts to turn Niagara into a commercial proposition."?The Washington Post. Remedy for Flat Feet. Owing to the number of otherwise splendid applicants rejected from the United States marine corps for flat feet, marine corps examining physicians have issued the following sim^ v pie exercisers and pointers, which if followed, they say, will remedy that ' ailment. During exercise at all times, turn the toes in. Walk with toe of each foot pointing to the front; in straight line, i: possible. Stand with toes turned in; raise body on toes, slowly, as high as possible. Rest a second, then with weight of body on toes, lower slowly down to floor, and repeat. ^ When in the house in stocking feet, walk on toes; heels not touching the floor, and toes turned in. When sitting, cross the legs, the| foot always resting on the outer side. The wearing'of broad toe shoes with the metal '"arch supporters" absolutely abandoned, also is advocated.

With the American Army in France, Nov. 14.?American Infantrymen exacted a part revenge for a trench raid during a recent night by ambushing a large German patrol in No .Man's Land, killing or wounding a number of the enemy. The American patrol, in which there were some Frenchmen, arrang?t iV. tliA P.arm o 71 fc?U IJit; (tiuuustauc nuui me ^ lines in a shell-ruined farm. After lying in the mud nearly all night the patience of the watchers was rewarded by the sight of a large German patrol, its number more than .double that of the Franco-Americans. The Germans were permitted to pass, when the Americans and French on their flank opened a hot fire from shell craters and other shelters where they were secured. The Germans were taken completely by surprise and bolted, carrying with them their men who had been hit. The number of dead and wounded is uncertain, but none of the men in ambush were hit by the bullets the Germans later sent in from a distance. There were congratulations all around when the Americans and French reentered their trenches. During the last two nights the Germans have continuously used machine guns in the direction of the American line. Sniping is becoming more active on both sides. American sharp shooters are working close to the German lines, especially when the nights are clear. The activity by enemy snipers thus far has resulted in one American casualty. A non-commissioned officer was hit in the head and killed. USEFUL MINERALS PASS. Scattered Over Earth in Erratic Deposits. Useful minerals are very erratically scattered over the earth in deposits that are being exhausted at an accelerating rate, and in the time of -war a chief concern is the availability of supplies of solid and liquid fuel and of certain metals, such as iron, copper and the materials needed for special steels, including nickel, tungsten, molybdenum and vanadium. The United States is favored in its possession of the products most essential. Aside from its coal and oil, Frank L. Hess of the geological survey notes that the country is immensely rich in iron, copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc and tungsten, and has comparatively large deposites of such other metals as mercury, molybdenum, titanium, vanadium, uranium and radium. The few metals of which there is a scarcity?particularly nickel, cobalt and tin?are supplied by friendly countries. The great lack is tin, of which the deposits in the United States proper are practically negligible, and Alaska's yield of 140 tons last year is insignificant with an annual consumption of 40,000 to 50,000 tons. The only important source of supply in the western Hemisphere is the mines of the Bolivia, with an output of 30,000 tons a year. The complete cutting off of all tin imports would be simply an inconvenience, and such substitutes could be found as glass and aluminum as food containers, and sheet zinc,' lead and aluminum for tin-plating and tin plate, and folding and crimping for soldering.
