Over the battle lines along the

region in northern Italy, where the
allied forces have been holding their
forces since last November, after the
great Italian retreat from the Ison20,
there is increased tension and the

launched by the Teutnoic allies wtihin
a few days. For many weeks the

If this should occur the arrrties along
the Piave River would be compelled
to fall back, probably as i far as the
Adigc River. This would entail the
loss of Venice and a vast expanse of
country to the enrrpy.
Th: decision to launch an offensive
or grand proportions in Italy was
doubtless forced by political and
econoqiic conditions prevailing in
Austria. An offensive campaign that
vield.s of ground might serve to still
,!:e elements which are seething
i rough out' the dual empire and
would postpone the day of reckoning
that seems in store for the rulers of
Au.tria.
Clorraun domination of Austria 1
, corning r.i .re complete as time gees
n. Tyrol and Bohemia have been
i r.nexcd, for food administration purposes,
to Germany, but this move in
the great game of statecraft has
served only to deepen the chasm between
the racial factions of Austria.
Bohemian troops have deserted from
the Austrian armies and have joined
the Italians, and, if an offensive is
not launched, demorilization of the
Austrian forces may come soonct
than the outside world expects.
In the meantime, the situation on
the front in France and Flanders has
remained fairly quiet. Nothing approaching
a general battle has been
reported. The allies are improving
their lines and awaiting for the Germans
to make the next move.
Pope Hands Off.
Pope Benedict has served notice on
the world that the Vatican will not
he a party to any "peace offensive"
at the present time. It is believed
that Berlin will seek to bring out a
"German peace" and if its advances
arc repulsed, to nerve the German
people to a new "bath of blood by
pointing out that the entente allies
desire to crush Germany. Pope Henedict
has let it he known that he i?
desirous of taking' any step which
may tend to shorten the war, but he
does not see at the present any reason
to believe that an appeal
would bring about desired results.
The situation in Ukraine and the
ruthless methods being followed bj
the Germans in completing the subjugation
of the people have been reflected
in an address by Vice Chancellor

Washington.?Answering an inquiry
of the State Department
through the Spanish Government d:
to the truth of.the reports that American
prisoners of war have beer
mistreated in Germany, the German
Government today declared that American
prisoners are accorded the
same treatment given to prisoners oi
other nationalities.

lv.te evidence of mistreatment of American
prisoners in specific cases car
be obtained.
Every report of mistreatment is
carefully investigated through the
only possible means?the Spanish
Government. Germany permits
Spanish officers to visit prison cantos
for that purpose.
The result of every inquiry thus
far made has been very unsatisfactory.
This was not unexpected ir
view of the experience of former An',
bassador Gerard in his efforts to ascertain
the conditons of British prisoners
before the United States entei
ed the war.
Mr. Gerard reported that the Ger
man military officers frequently refused
his agents admission to tin
prison camps, and when the agonU
were admitted they found that thf
prison officials had removed &1
traces of evil conditions known t<
f have existed previously.
Another job is easier until it h

With the American Army in
I-'rance.?American prisoners of war
are being- shamefully treated in German
prison camps, if all had the experience
of an American interviewed
by a French soldier, also a prisoner
in Germany, just before he escaped.
The Frenchman's stcry, as told to
\mcrican officers, fallows:
"A short t.inip hi?-Tri?n I mff

o!n Hanover, 1 was able to have a
few minutes interview with an American
soldier, who was taken prisoner
several months ago on the
French front. Being' unwounded, h?
was assigned directly to a prison
camp. Weakened by excessive work
he was forced to do in the salt mines,
and being unable to stay longer, he
was sent to Hameln.
Name Unknown.
"I do not remember the name of
the man or the number of his regiment,
but he had been among the
first Americans in the trenches and
his home was in New York. He told
me that during the three months he
was in the Har7. mines he has lost
.'>3 pounds. He was a man- who was
solidly built and it could be easily
seen that he had been vigorous and
healthy,1 but when 'I saw him he was
incredibly thin and so weak that he
:ould hardly cross a room without
stopping repeatedly, leaning on
pieces of furniture or supporting
on boxe3 piled there.
Package service does not exist i/
the mines and the prisoners receive
practically nothing. Thc'r only nourishment
is from thin soup made of
barley or cabbage, sometimes salted
codfish eggs and those of other fish
Which it is impossible to eat. There
are few potatoes and very little
bread. It is impossible for a man t<
f work without becoming sick or weak
ened 'to the point of falling down.
Cruel Treatment.
* "The men are struck with rible
> butts and the flat side of bayonets
p '.and are placed in dark cells on bread
^and wat6r. The&b cells are known to
i jthe -mine "prisoners as 'hot chambers,'
' as" they are ' heated by steam to a
;k high temperature. After the men arc
V held in these cells they are turned
out in the snow, where they are re*
quired to stand at 'attention' for a
F certain length of time. Needless to
jl soy deaths are frequent.
/ "This American had been punished
several times in this way, and told
me what I am relating to you. I am
1 able to confirm this story because
* other Englishmen and Frenchmen I
s saw at Hameln did not have the
f strength even to hold a cigarette."

If health is Wealth J. F. Batts has
been made a milliionaire by Mantone.
When he started on Mantone Batts
was physically down and out. He had
indigestion so that he couldn't eat
meats, sweets or even eggs. The little
food he did force into his stomach
I clogged the system, caused gas and
belching. There was a sourish taste
in his mouth. His Weight was down
t' 128 pounds.' He had pains in his
back so bad that he couldn't stoop or
do much walking and his strength
and energy were low.
"Three weeks after staiting Mantone
my weight increased 20 pounds"
he said. "Now I car. eat; any food set
before me for my digestion is perfect.
My bowels are in first class
shape, pains have left my back, my
sleep is sound and rest producing.
Mantone has made me feel good all
over and I gladly praise it to
other sufferers," ended Mr Butts

intended another assault in Flanders
yesterday morning, but the arrangements
were upset by a combination
of events. There were the Allied operations
and the heavy rain which
converted the ground into mud flats
over which it was difficult to move
either infantry or artillery. There
also was confusion arising from
wholesale reliefs and the arrival of
strange troops in the German areas.
The Allied artillery has been main
taining an incessant bombardment of
enemy territory, and Friday night,
before the projected German attack,
the French and British gunners played
havoc with the German preparations.
The Allied troops also have
oven carrying out local operations
which improved their lines and upset
enemy schemes.
Allies Menace Kemmel.
Yesterday the Allies occupied a
large number of important positions

New York.?The allies have considerably
improved th6tf positions
east of Amiens during the, past week,
at the same time, inflictipg a severe
:heck on von Hindenburg's effort to
dvance poyond Uie hills' * sbuthwset j

A I . / A . < - . . f
a secondary' purpose of von Hindenburg's
faults, against ?thej lines
barring the wdy to Ypres and &azebrouck
.has undoubtedly }been to
. tempt Gei|. ":Foch.. Ihto :. moling reservos
northward and thus weakening
the Amiens front.
Instead of being led into this trap, '
the allies have driven the Germans
out of highly desirable positions facing
Aimens and have simultaneously
enforced heavy new death paymnets x
along the northern front. The security
of Amiens has been increased
flu ring the week to an extent suggest
ing the existence of much German
weakness in that sector. Von Hindenburg's
lavish expenditure of his
reserves is causing him at the same
time ever increasing difficulties to
keep up his offensive role elsewhere.
Nevertheless, the growing criticism
in the central empires of the meagre
results of the policy of west front
slaughter make it imuossihlo for won
Hirulenburg to stop his assaults.
