rwo TERRIBLE STRUGGLE ON TRENTINO FRONT Nothing as to Details or Results Comes Through?Situation Brighter. News of Saturday says the big German offensive against the French line east of Vauxaillon, Monday, in which trenches were stormed and cap tured, has gone almost for naught, for the French forces in a violent counterattack have recaptured nearly all their lost ground. Although the German crowh prince had launched his attack wiii huge effectives, composed of picked troops and covered it by a heavy artillery fire and by homo dropping aircraft, his tenure of the captured positions was short lived and only a salient 400 metics northeast of Moisy farm now remains in his hands. In addition heavy casualties were inflicted on the Germans. Likewise in Champagne the crown prince has been badly battered/ be Lween wloni C .millet and Mont Blond. In an attempt to recapture positioi - previous'; taken from them the Germans first were repulsed by the Kronen who then assumea the of l'nesive and advanced their lii.e on a front of more than GOO yards and to a depth in excess of 300 yards. Here also the Germans lost heavily in men killed or wounded. Comparative calm prevails on the front in France held by the British troops under Field Marshal Haig. Artillery duels are in progress on various sectors in Belgium especially near Dixmude and Pypegaale. In the Russian theatre, according to the Berlin war office, the artiller> of the Russian and Austro-Germans has increased in activity in Volhynia _ _ -i i - _ a ? i . . i ana uaucui. At several points tne Russians have attempted to carry out raids against the Teutonic fronts, but are said to have ocen everywhere repulsed. Little news explanatory of the real situation on the Trentino front in the Austro-Italian zone has been received but unofficial reports say the battle, which is of great proportions, extends along the entire line from the Sugana valley to the Asiago plateau. It is in this region that the Italians are endeavoring to break the Austrain line to one of their main objectives?Trent. There als0 is little ^formation coming through concerning the operations in Macedonia except that artillery duels are in progress on various sectors and that there have been local engagements between the Bulgarians and British in the Struma valley. Daily the situation in Russia seems to grow brighter. Unofficial advices from Petrograd say that the eongress of soldiers' and workmen's 'delegates of all Russia have voted confidence in the provisional government and gone on record as demanding a reorganization of the army and nn i IV! ?>/ ?! i r o ' -..fj,,., ., . . -rw. -w.-r.?* ? c ..... , .

Pryan, passing through the capital today, added his endrosements to the administration food bill in this statement: UA government that can commandeer the lives of its young men and call for the money of its older men should have power to protect the whole people from the greed of an unpatriotic few. "I am not afraid to trust the President with the powers which the food ncministi ation bill proposes t(, confer. He acts in daylight and without a .selfish interest.
