AUSTMANS LAUNCH
PIERCE ATTACK AGAINST
PASS IN CARMC ALPS
Italians Repulse Desperate
Onslaughts of Enemy for
Recapture of Freikopel,
Lost to Invaders After
Bloody Struggle.
U S. APPEALS TO
REASON IN NOTE
ROME, June 11.
Official announcement of the occupation
or Podasgno, In Trentlno. wab made today
by the Italian War Omce.
Furious counter attacks nre belnsr made
by the Auttrlans In an effort to retake
Freikopel, In the Carnle Alps.
Along the Isonzo niver the battle for
the potsesslon of the strategla heights on
the eastern bank and for Tolmlno contin
ues The capture of Monfalcone by thJ
Italians la regarded by military experts
s one of the most Important achieve
ments of the campaign.
Further progress for the Italians Is re
ported from various quarters
QORITZ BATTLE FURIOUS
For the last 24 hours the battling near
OorlU has been mora furious than at any
other point along the Isonzo The Italians
at one stage rushed a small force across
the river, but Its ranks were thinned by
a steady machine gun fire from the
Austrian trenches and forced to retlr
Italian gunners gave a heavy bombard
ment on the bridge on the cast bank of
the river and the flght to dislodge the
Austrian batteries Is continuing with
great violence From SOOO to 10,000 have
been lost In the operations In Qorlzla
A tremendous night and day bombard
ment of the Austrian forts of Santi
Lucia and Santa Maria, defending Tol
mlno, Is being carried on by tho Italians
From Caporctto south of Monfnlcone,
tho Isonzo fighting, despite the flooded
condition of the vallev. Is resulting sat
isfactorily to the Italian arms. General
Cndorna reported to the Wnr Office to
day. Since the general ndvnnce against
tho river positions began more than 1000
Austrian prisoners have been taken.
AUSTRIAN ATTACKS RENEWED.
Though they lost more than COO In
klled and wounded In previous attempts
to retako Freikopel Pass, the Auatrlans
have renewed tho struggle at that point,
bringing up reinforcements. The nature
of the pass Is such that only small bodies
can be engaged at one time, but as quick
ly as one line Is slaughtered tho Aua
trlans rush reserves In to cl03o the gaps
Heavy artillery has proved useless at
Freikopel and in other battle In narrow
mountain passes. Light mountain pieces
have been wheeled up some of the heights,
but machine guns are plajing the most
Important part.
Tho tactics In each of these bloody
struggles along high mountain trails are
nearly the same. The defenders barricade
themselves behind defenses erected across
the road at Its narrowest point and sweep
the road with deadly flro from machine
guns
Against this curtain of bullets the at
tacking forces must hurl one body after
another of troops In an attempt to over
whelm the enemy by a succession of
human avalanches. "When the Austrians
were finally driven off In their last at
tack at Freikopel, the Italian ramparts
were plied high with Austrian bodies.
Cendnned from Tnte One
"by which the character of conditions of
war upon the sea may be changed."
U. S. READY TO SERVE
It Is recognized here that the United
Stated at this time can do no more than
offer Its services, but the acquiescence In
the suggestion of Germany Is expected to
contribute to the hoped-for feeling In Ger
many that the United States Is really
desirous of being friendly In the present
International conflict, although she cannot
modify her own demands as to the rights
of the citizens of (he United States.
Altogether, the note Is regarded as giv
ing to Germany every opportunity to
maintain good relations with the United
ouues -mere is no open threat of a rup
ture, and If there be an Iron fist behind
the note, It Is covered for the present by
the softening glove of diplomacy and Is
more discernible to the diplomatic than
lo the lay mind.
In both official and diplomatic circles
tho note Is regarded as firm but reason
able, and tho general Impression Is that
ine tension win not again be so great un
less Germany absolutely refuses to give
this Government the assurances sought
In such event. It Is regarded In many
quarters as certain that the severance
of diplomatic relations must follow
Until Berlin answers, tho President and
his Cabinet and tho officials who aro aid
ing him In every way will assume that
the German reply will bo friendly and
that she will give the asked-for assur
ances There will be no war talk bv un
responsible official and no steps taken
toward a next move by the President It
Is accepted as a fact that, If the German
reply Is evasive or a refusal, there will
bo nothing left for the President to do
out to withdraw Ambnssador Gerard and
the American consular representatives
from Germany.
It was believed that the German reply
would very prolmblv reach here In about
10 days Anton Meyer Gerhard, who
bears Ambnssador on Bernstorff's mefl-
sage to tho Kaiser and his Cabinet,
should reach Berlin next Wednesday
morning It Is deemed certain that he
will explain to the German officials that
the American people are united In sup
porting tho President on the general
principles involved, although there Is a
great minority, now headed by former
,-cretnr Brjan, who differ on tho meth
ods That his Influence, however, will
be for concessions which will meet the
American position was considered a fore
gone conclusion.
NOTE TO BRITAIN TNDER WAY
It was learned at the Department that
tho American note to London concerning
Urltlsli detention of American shipments
on their way to neutral ports had been
In course of preparation for some time.
It was held up, however, It was reported,
because the Administration did not wish
to prc&s this controversy at the same tlmo
that the German negotiations were In
progress
SHIP SUPPOSED LOST
REACHES PORT AT LAST
Hoary Sailing Vessel, Weather
beaten, Between Italy and
U. S. 122 Days.
BOY SCOUTS,
A grimy, weather-beaten old square-
rigger Is at anchor off Lervjue Island to
day after a trip across the Atlantic $3
dAs slower than the voyage of Chris
topher Columbus In the Santa. Maria.
Thero are gaps In the planking of her
deck house; other woodwork above deck
not absolutely essential and the cabins,
likewise, have suffered In the 122 days
of drifting up and down the Atlantic.
The missing wood went to feed the fire
while the ship was In cold latitudes
The vessel Is the Italian bark Tripoli,
Captain Giovanni Valavln He and tho
II members of his crew have been liv
ing on a few ship's biscuits and a llttlo
water for weeks All are worn and ema
ciated None of the crew Knew Italy
was at war until the anchor was dropped
and the vessel was stormed by port of
ficers and maritime men with congratula
tions
Two months ago or more the Tripoli
was posted as missing She had been
given up as lost Shipping men had
ceased to hope for her. Ordlnarllv the
trip from Savona, Italy, her port of de
parture, to this clt should require 30
days
But yesterday morning the tug Juno
was scouting around the Breakwater,
waiting for n Job or two, when the cap
tain sighted the bark against the horizon.
The tug cruised about ond waited until
the sailing vessel came nearer. As they
approichcd, tho captain of the tug pinched
himself and rubbed his eyes He called
his mates and others aboard, who know
every boat thnt touches Atlantic ports
From the Breakwater to League Island
the progress of tho Tripoli was more or
less of a triumphal cruise. The rail of
every ship thnt passed, ocean tramp or
river boat, was lined with men who rend
tho name on the bow of tho little square
rigger and slnrrd In astonishment The
rlvermen thojght It a phantom ship
Captain Vulavin explained through nn
Interpreter that he didn't run Into n
single storm, nor even a hard blow. Tho
troublo was the lack of wind For weeks
the vessel diltted up and down the At
lantic with the tides and currents. And
when occasionally the breeze did como
the bark was so fouled with barnacles
that her progress was slow.
If Durborow, the bank clerk long dls
tanco swimmer, could keep up his regu
lar pace ho would beat the tlmo made by
the Tripoli across the Atlantic Her aver
age was nbout 10 miles In 21 hours Tho
Tripoli Is carrying dirt ballast. She Is
the first vessel In years to como In to
this port with that kind of ballast, as
nearly nil 'vessels now use water About
80,000 bushels of grain will go to Italy on
tho Tripoli, which nlso will bo tho first
sailing vessel In a long tlmo to take a
cargo of grain from this port.

cused of violating provisions of the motor

MAN IN THE STREET COULDN'T SEE
WHAT MADE "BILL" BRYAN SO MAD
Wilson's Note Sounded Mild, as He Was Expecting to Get Up
This Morning to the Sound of Drums, With All the
Papers Printed in Red Ink.
nm, n.... . .,- .i ,.
U'H U1JUU K"C9 "JO WIO BUUtK Ul m.v B
life," said Conductor 7 today, as he J
glanced at the newspaper which was
handed to him by a passenger and turned
to the sporting page. "He got mo all
keyed up to expect war and then, when It
nil come out. It seems that Wilson only
wanted to say what everybody else wao
saying "
"Nothing to It," was the remark passed
by a man who came downtown two hours
ahead of time to read on tho Ledqek
bulletin board "about the sailing of tho
American fleet for the war zone," which
ho Imagined would be ordered during the
night or eatlv this morning. "I think I
have inside Information about this Bryan
resigning business He wants to run for
Coroner of Lincoln. Neb , and he thought
It would help his campaign out there to
resign as Secretary of State In a huff.
And I think he'll be elected."
Everywhere tho opinion of the Man
In the Street was asktd there was a
curious mixture of relief and disappoint
ment In the leplles. Relief that tho
President's noto was not nn ultimatum In
the senso of giving the Germans 21 or
13 hours to comply with his demands,
and a perve'e disappointment which
showed that tnere had been a lurking de
sire for the mllltarlstlo oxcltement which
Mr Bryan's course of action seemed to
have Inspired.
"I can't see why It was so polite," said
Miss Alva Redding, stenographer, who Is
a suffragist, and therefore entitled to
opinion on any question relating to na
tional, International and Interplanetary
affairs, "It was all your Excellency this
and vour Excellency that, and how the
Kaiser or whoever It Is could bo offended
Is more than I can see. It seems to me
that every one Involved Is a perfect gen
tleman "
It was pointed out that even declara
tions of war wero gentlemanly and that
Mcphlstophelos himself and other politi
cians had perpetuated their vogue by Just
such gentlemanly habits of speech
"Bosh," she jeplled. "How about the
Kalsed when he tore off King George's
'badges'" She was unanswerable.
The Curbstone Cublnct met in early ses
sion and It wag soon to appear that Its
members dlsnhrrcd With her.
"It's Just that dignified way of acting
as If you fxpectcd tho Germans to be
tho most hish-mlrded people In the uni
verse That Is the best way of 'telling It
to them,' " said a man who refused to bo
quoted 'It's calling on the Kaiser to
put real teeth In his kultur."
THE FLOWER FOLK
By SAMUEL SCOVILLE, JR.
Where you ever In fairy land?
I was there last week and It was hard
to come back to this workaday world
again The day I went It rained hard,
but for him who hears the call of the
wlldfolk all weather Is good weather As
soon after dawn as steam could take me
I found myself In the pine barrens. The
last time I wa thero was In the cold
dawn of spring No leaves were out, and
although many of the birds were there,
none of tho flower-folk except the plxcy
moss and the trailing arbutus were there.
Today the wcods were llko a shimmer
ing pool of different shades of green lap
ping over the white sand-land that had
been thrust like a wedge from the South
deep Into tin ttart of the north I fol
lowed a wood path to my cabin nestled
among the plno trees on the high bank of
the Rancocas. stained brown and steeped
sweet and spicy with a million cedar
roots Against the porch a mountain
laurel was in full bloom I let myself In
through tho low door over which hung a
tiny bog-Iron horseshoe dug up In the
cranberry bog at Upper Mill. It waa un
doubtedly a fairy shoe, and so I nailed It
over the dooiway As soon as I had
slipped Into a suit of camping clothes I
started down tho bank of the stream
where a month before I found a clump of
tho hollow crimson-streaked leaves of tho
pitcher plant It was so cold that day
that every pitcher had a lump of Ico
where tho water had frozen the night be
fore I pushed aside the branches of the
withe-wood v'th Its Hat masses of white
blossoms and the dripping star-leaves or
the sweet gum saplings and found myself
on the very edge of the Btream At first
I could seo nothing through tho wet
leaves Suddenly at my very feet swung
two glorious flowers Wine-red, crimson,
aquamarine, r'arl-whlle, palu .old all
theso colnr3 gloomed in the great twin
blossoms that nodded to mo from long,
slnndcr stcmi Later In tho day I found
a dry cranberry bog where they grew by
tho scores, out I Bhall always remember
my first slRht of tho nltcher-plant In blos
som by theso first two flowers crimson
against the l.ackground or tnc nrown
stalned water.
From tho bank of tho Rancocas I
passed through thickets along a path of
white sand. At Its sldo were the vivid
crlmson-llko leaves of the wild Ipecac with
Its strange green flowers, while, ns If
set In snow, gloomed everywhere the
grecn-and-gold of tho barren-heather.
The leaves were llko tlnv cedar trees and
wero set thick with blossoms of puro
gold which tho wind spilled in little yel
low drifts on the white sand. Beyond
tho woods tho meadows were hazy pur
ple with bluo toad-flax Besldo tho path
showed the pale gold of tho narrow
leaved sundrons with their centres of
I deep orange stnmens. Everywhere were
musses ui luiiionui, vuu suiuiici iuuilh
with Its fatal leaves and crimson blos
soms The thickets were sweet with the
fragrance of the cream-white blossoms
of the wild magnolia and the splcery
of the gray-green bayberry Hero and
there were Jade-green pools In which
gleamed tho buds of the yellow pond Illy
or floating spatterdot like lumps of float
ing gold. At one place the path went
under a clump of poison sumac with Its
pale gray trunk and arsenlc-groen leaves
ond (.prays of green berries, which will
afterwards turn white, growing on stems
from the trunk where the leafstems Join
Just beyond this danger, tho path wns
carpeted with the wine-red and green
pIxeymoES Btarred thick with the flat
whlto flve-petalcd flowers. Beyond the
way was lost In a mass of the purple
lilac and whlto butterfly blossoms of the
lupine. Little clouds of fragrance drifted
through the air as the wind swung the
rows and rows of pearl-white translucent
bells of the andromeda. They have the
sweetest perfume of all the wild flowers
except the blossoms of the wild grape.
ueyond the lupines wero rowa and rows
of turkey-beards, dazzling white masses
of filmy slx-petaled blossoms that grew
by scores and scores from tho main
stem around a cono of unopened buds
and which towered up on fringed stems
two feet high. Beyond them was a little
open spaco covered with dry gray-green
moss In which grow a clump of pink
ladysllppers. They looked like great Ir
regular globes of Jacinth, in the north
whero I had hunted orchids, theso wero
a rare find Indeed Here they grew every
where, but for mo the sight of those hol
low rose-red blossoms will always ba an
event.
Later on I found a pine snake six feet
ten Inches lone and six Inches In cir
cumference, and t'ne nest of a Henslow
sparrow, one of the rarest of our spar
rows, and the little nest made of grape
vine bark and roots of 'the Maryland
yellowthroat and the hidden groundneu
of the chewlnk-but all that's another
story.
