1 Morrone,' Minister of War, Issued a state.
mnt concerning we i "" e.i......u.. ...
eonifcctlon with the Austrian oftenslv,
wlilch will "leave tho Italian supreme com
mand perfectly trnnqull."
The plans of llio Italian mllltn-y authori
ties cannot bo divulged nor dhcussed, but
It can bo stated that mensures have been
idopted to copo with any posslblo situation
In addition to direct action on the Italian
front it 'a expected that a general offen
sive movement ngalnit the Austrlans will
i made on other fronts, especially In the
Balkans and In Rusrln, and In addition a
tontehiporanoous attack Is expected to be
nrUnff by Italy's allies In France,
Meanwhile, military critics, Including
Jneral Morrone, ndvlso restricting tho
.Ullan front by abandoning the far ad
vanced positions In order better to be able
to repulse the Austrlnns, whoso forward
move, along the Trentlno front already has
lasted a week. This notion Is a repetition
of vhat Austrian generals did more than
0. century ago, when Napoleon attacked
Austria from the Isonzo River.
, The Austrian start It Is believed hopes
to Invade Italy along the Adlge River val
ley, thus forcing the Italians to abandon
thtlr offensive on tho eastern front for fear
of having their main" army taken In tho
rear.. For this attack Austria, which had
JO divisions on tho Italian front, aug
mented them by 12, six of which were
drawn from Serbia and six from the Rus
sian front.
The Austrlans lost 20,000 In killed,
nounded and missing in these first three
aa of their offensive in the Tyrolese
Alps according to Borne dispatches today.
Their losses for tho last four das are be
k llevevl to have been almost equally as large.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. May 22. Th
General Assembly of tho Presbyterian
Church approved the recommendation of the
Itcv. Dr. J, Iloss Slovonson today nnd
agreed to let tho Committee of Bills and.
Overtures "rotnln charge for tho present
of, tho overtures which Involve a prosecu

Just why tho commltee asked for nn x
tenslou of tltno, tho Assembly did not pre
tend to understand, although tho committee
had been expected to advise the assembly
today Just how to proceed with tho case.
It Is tho general Impression that the com
mittee nnd the convention both favor the
caBo of the Now York Presbytery, although
the attacking clement Is large, there belne
almost two scoro of complaining overtures.
The convention leaders all Beem to fnVor
tho cause of Now York, and every ruling,
that has been made, has been In its favor.

cutors, and Is euphemistically subheaded "A
Further Survey of tho Condition of the
Presbytery of Now York as Shown at Its
Spring Meeting, 1016, "With Special Refer
ence to Its Relations "With the Union Theo
logical Seminary."
The circulation of this brief Is believed.
to be the reason why tho Committee on
Bills and Overtures has decided to consider
further before giving Us opinion to the
General Assembly.
Doctor Fox says:
'The Issue raised Is a perfectly simple
one; namely. Is tho Bible Itself tho stand

the lpsed Ixlt of a clique of speculative
scholars In Europe rtnd America, who claim
to havo found errors, not In the transla
