"Somewhere in France." u
My dear Lillie: *
I will write you a few lines to let *
you hear from me. I am well and
living fine, I had a letter from John- 8

him the letter I sent you. It looks
like to me some of you would write
me a letter some time and if you do
tell me whether Jack has come over c
or not. I would like to know if he is *"
over here and when he came and if *
he has not come tell him to write
and tell me when he thinks he will
come.

AN APEAL TO LOYALTY ta
It is hard to say, but it is true that or
ve have people in our state, our coun- sq
;y, our very community, who profess
loyalty to their government, yet w<
annot show one single thing they so
mve done to prove it. 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.

.00 A YEAR IN ADVANOt
j MIGHTY AUSTRIAN MOVE
MAKES LITTLE PROGRESS
The Austrian pincers are not closj
ing upon Italy with the precision of
i last October when they forced back
the Italian armies of General Cadorna
from the Julian Alps to the Piave
River and from the northern Italian
regions almost to the plains of Venctia
In fact they do not seem to be
closing at all.
'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.
In the Alps the Austrians have
.been unable further to advance their
lines since their initial onslaught last

of prisoners.
