St I can put my hand on people who L. :laim to be loyal and yet have not D lone one thing to help the govern- W nent either in Bonds, Stamps or even (J ;he Red Cross. The' way is so simple, that if you bj lave not yet done anything you ihould arouse yourself from your cr '"cp. You know and other will know ty f you don't support your country at this time. You have already missed several H chances to help. You now have an- c? ither chance to help your country if at rou want victory. Do something now that will be great when done. If you lo lo not, the time is coming when you ci trill feel very little. to You cannot afford to let this op- ca portunity pass. DOCK BOAN. K USTRIA TAKING DESPERATE CHANCE London, June 17.?Austro-Hunirian pressure continues very strong ong the entire Italian front, says a mi-official dispatch from Rome. The lemy is concentrating his most poerful attacks astride the River renta and across the Piave. North ' the Cesuna an advanced group of ritish soldiers, surrounded by Ausians, resisted until they were reived by a British counter-attack. At e same time they succeeded in takg 200 prisoners. A hiirh British oflRror. iniorvioiuod st night by Reiter's correspondent ith the British army in Italy, ex essed himself satisfied in every *y with the result of the Austroungarian attack against the British rces. He said: "The enemy has practically lost re men to our one and have capturI four guns. Our airmen on the ave smashed seven bridges and fir[ thousands of rounds at a low altiide." All accounts agree that the scantit success attended the attempt of e Austrians to carry out the offence on he new German model of arm troops and infiltration. The Pensive was really a series of atcks at widely distant points and livered at different hours, appartly with the idea of effecting a rprise. London newspapers consider the tensive one of the n.ost desperate ances yet taken by the enmy. Its dure, it is believed, will be fatal to ustria and a heavy blow to German estige. Hence, the battle is conlered by political observers as beg even more critical for Austria an Italy as it is contended that deat will probably goad the various itionalities of the dual monarchy to speration.

'I he upper jaw in the Venetian Alps is s ailed under the resistence of the P.ritish, French and Italian forces, and the other one seems to lack the force necessary to bring it across the Piave River and push back the Italian troops which are closing its path.
