cal talks given by Mrs. Carroll, demon

had helped them In a way that a mere
study of a cook book could not have done.

her admirers who have attended the lec

trlans nro replying from a hill directly
north of tho town and from strongly
fortified positions at the bridge head of
the leonzo.
Bersagllcrl forces, which occupied Gra
dlsca, ura pressing north and are at
tempting to cross the river near Rubbla
and attack Oorltia on the flank. lA,
The enemy has mounted smalt pieces
on Hat cars and Is rushing them up and
down the railway on tho cast bank of
Isonzo, sweeping the west bank with a
hot flre.
Six miles northwest of Gorlzla another
Italian force Is attempting to oross the
river and descend upon tho city from the
north. Enemy guns on Monte Sano are
shrapnellng the Italian forces and shell
ing their pontoons. The battle around
Plava has continued for several days,
with the Austrlans stubbornly resisting.
The bombardment of Tolmlno continues
without Interruption. Bovoral of the
outer works have been badly damaged
by Italian shells, but the dominating po
sition of the enemy's guns has prevented
any near approach by Italian Infantry.
The Bersagllerl and Alplnl tn tho Tol
mlno region have been busy clearing the
Burroundlng peaks of small bodies of en
emy sharpshooters who sniped at Infantry
forces moving through the passes. In
some Instances the Austrlans have ren
dered positions on the mountain summit.
Impregnable by blocking the paths with
huge rocks. In these cases, the Alpin
ists have surrounded the peakB with
small squads of men nnd aro attempting
to starve out the snipers.
Fighting In the Trcntlno has consisted
largely of unimportant skirmishes for the
last 4S hours, according to the War Of
fice. The capture of Ploekcn, near the south
ern part of the Isonzo, by the Italians
threatens to cut off the Austrlans from
the Inssbruck-Tarvls railway.
Italian forces have occupied Porto
Rosega, south of Monfalcone, and have
seized a number of ships In the yards at
that point. Among them was a small
ctulser which the Austrlans wero build
ing for China
With the Austrian cities of Monfalcone,
Gradlsca and Rovereto, as well as 100 vil
lages. In Italian possession and the Ital
ian drives against the Austrian strong
holds of Trent and Trieste proceeding
successfully the Austrian troops are be
coming completely demoralized by con
tinuous defeats.
An official statement bearing on this
phase of the Austro-Itallan war was
given out today by ffle Italian general
staff. It saya In part:
"Documents found on Austrian officers
who were captured by us ahow that the
Austrian commanders are much per
turbed by the grave fact that develop
ments at the front have prejudiced the
discipline of their troops. In order to
stop desertions the Austrian officers have
made special rules more strict than ever
known, showing the unheard-of police
methods to which they were compelled, to
resort to keep their armies Intact.
"The Austrian general staff has also
provided severe penalties for soldiers who
attempt to surrender or for those who
try to evade military duties by malingering."
BANDITS ROR PASSENGERS
ON SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN
Hold Up "Flyer," Secure Loot nnd
Escape,
LOS ANGELES, Cal , Juno 12.-After
frightening passengers with a revolver
and a sawecl-off shotgun, two masked
bandits, who robbed nearly 100 men and
women on tho Southern Pacific's crack
"coaster flyer, escaped and vcre still at
targe early today with armed posses on
horseback and In nutomobllos In hot
search.
Tho men boarded the observation car
at Chatsworth Station nt 10.30 last night.
Thoy covered E, J. Jordan, brnkeman,
nnd while one bandit stood guard at the
rear door the other 15 parlor conch pas
sengers dropped money, Jewelry nnd other
valuables Into a bag hung nbout his neck.
Passengers In the nearest day coach
started to run, but were stopped by
threats of death when tho bandits fled.
Forty persons In the next car, Including
Conductor C. O. Nlcholls, were robbed.
Fearing an attack from the passengers
the bandits ordered Nlcholls to stop the
train and then disappeared.
The train crew tired repeatedly as the
bandits Jumped, and the robbers replied
with Beveral shots, but all went wild.
Five suspects wero gathered In by the
posses, but were released later. It is not
known how much loot tho bandits obtained.

WASHINGTON, June 12. Though no
body would admit today that Captain
Boy-cd, naval attache at the German
Embassy here, had been connected by
the Justice Department Investigation with
the "Lusltanla affidavits," It was the
general opinion that changes among the
Kaiser's representatives tn this country
would bo an early result of the Inquiry.
Incidentally, there was good authority
for the statement that Ambassador von
Jlernstorff was not suspected of any hand
In the suspected conspiracy to represent
the Lusltanla as having carried arms
when it sailed from New York on Its
last voyage.
That a conspiracy, and one of consid
erable proportions, was believed to have
been at least partly uncovered there was
strong evidence, however, and tho reports
that German official personages were In
volved In It were widespread and circum
stantial. Even assuming that such Individuals
were proven guilty It was understood
their official status would protect them
from prosecution. Tho method. It was
said, would be for the State Department
to Intimate diplomatically to Berlin that
their recall would be appreciated and no
doubt was felt, apparently, that tho hint
would be acted on quickly.
Justice Department officials were ex
traordinarily reticent concerning the
"Lusltanla affidavit" case, but there were
many signs that they were working
furiously on It.

"D'y know," he exclaimed to the man
who stood nearest him, "this jitney busi
ness Is losing money for the Pennsylvania
Railroad and making It for th6 Philadel
phia Rapid Transit Company."
Tho person he addressed moved away
In alarm, charitably ascribing tho stran
ger's wild remark to the hot spell, but
.,.. i.ii.i- wna tun Interested to bo dis
couraged and continued to address tho
unheeding ftlr.
"i'cah," ho said, "here I am out here
Just flt the time In tho afternoon when
I used to be In Broad Street Station wait
ing for n train to take me home to Lans
downe. There's a nickel tho Philadelphia,
tlnpld Transit got from ma taking m
from 2d street In tho subwny nnd I spend
tha other nickel on tho Jitney bus to
Lansdowne. And the railroad doesn t
get my money any mora on tha trip home.
It doesn't get their money, either,' ho
said, Indicating tho people who were
crowding Into a Jitney that hnd just como
back from Lnnsdowno for another load

Stntlon nt this tlmo In tho afternoon
wnltlng for trains to Lnnsdowno, beforo
tho Jitneys started out here to finish tho
trip for them to Lansdowne,"
Then another Idea struck him.
"How much more monoy will tha Phila
delphia llnpld Transit make when It has
Its 'IV systems to other sections com
pleted nnd people use the "L's" In Con
junction with Jitneys lllto we do to Lans
downe now?"
