AUSTRIA SHIFTS TROOPS
TO CHECK ITALIAN DRIVE
Units Which Had Been Sent
Against 'Russians Recalled to
Trentino Front
ROME, July 12. So threatening has be
oomo tho Italian counter-offensive between
the Adlgo anil Brenta, In tho Ampezzo Val
ley anil on tho Isonzo, thnt tho Austrian
have been compelled to recall troops which
wero already on their wny to tho Russian
front. The olllclal report says:
In order to withstand tho prcssuro
wo continue to exercise In tho Trentino
and our countcr-offcnslvo activity In tho
Bolto and Uut Valleys and on tho lower
Isonzo, tho enemy has been obliged
to recall to this front trooris withdrawn
toward tho eastern front.
This Is ascertained In tho cases of
tho 3d Corps and tho 6th, 22d and 23th
Divisions, which were on tho point of
departure, and tho DOth Division and
tho 187th randsturm Brigade, which
Wcro already on tho way
Yesterday there was nn Intense nr
tlllcry duel In tho Adlgo Valley. On
the I'asublo front (cast of tho Adlgo)
wo captured positions north of Jlonto
Corno, but tho enemy succeeded In ob
taining partial repossession of them by
a. violent counter-attack Wo took 34
prisoners. On the Aslago plateau AI
' plno detachments successfully renewed
tho attack on the enemy.'s positions In
the Monto Chlesa region.
North of Jlonto Sn Giovanni we
occupied Monte degll Uccelll, at the
head of the Cla Valley. In tho Tofana
region (north of Ampozzo) tho enemy
attempted to surprlso tho positions we
had. taken on tho 9th, but were repulsed
with heavy losses and loft SO prisoners
and a machlno gun In our hands. On
the Isonzo tho artillery was active and
there was also somo bombing.

PARIS. July 12.
The Allies' great steam roller Is moving
eastward through tha German lines exactly
on schedule time.
Tho lull In tho fighting on tho Somme
front, reported In today's official statement,
' wan marked down In advance on the tlmo
table of the Allied offensive. Just as any
other steam roller must pause to take on
coal and for a leveling of tho road ahead,
tho Anglo-French stenrr. roller Is halting
and preparing for tho next Infantry rush.
The highest French military authorities,
returning from the front, declared today
that tho offensive Is proceeding with all
tha mechanical exactness with which it was
originally planned They admitted frankly
that tho Allien copied from tho German at
tack at Verdun their present tactics of
smashing tho way through Gorman defenses
purely with heavy artillery and trench mor
tars. Thoy declare, however, that whereas
tho Germans near Verdun were unable to
keep their maximum prolans after tho first
onslaught, the Allies have continued to
progress according to schedule
Since -tho beginning of the offensive tho
Allies' heavy artillery h. ,uerced the Gcr
man lines at several points, rsnderlng pos
Blblo infantry thrusts for as great a dis
tance as IB kilometres (8V& miles) had
the Allies been willing to sacrifice tho men
euch an operation would have entailed. In
stead tha Allied commanders havo con
sistently refused to advance their men until
they have brought up heavy artillery and
cleared a path.

Full Strength of Central Em-

Onrush of Slavs
LONDON', July 12. Tho aledgo hammer
btows of the Russians on both sides of tho
Sarny-Kovet Itallroad havo driven tho Aus-tro-Gcrman
armies over the Stokhod ltlvcr
at so many vital points that the Teutons
havo been compelled to fall back upon their
recently constructed dofenscs In front of
Kovcl.
Uxcept In tha sector near Ilulevlchl nnd
tn front of Svldnlkl, where tho Germans are
holding their own, no moro natural bar
riers stand between General Urusslloff's
troop3 and their Immediate goal. Tho prin
cipal dftilculllcs which havo confronted them
ever slnco tho drivo on Kovcl was Inaug
urated havo been swept oway by tho very
Impctuousness of tholr assaults.
Military obrervcrs hero look for the fall
of Kovcl and, with It. that of V'adlmlr
Volynskl within a week at tho most. With
hia right flank protected by tho Impassablo
marshes of tho Plnsk nnd his wholo lines
from Czartorusk to SvldnlkJ reorganized to
withstand tho pressuro of Teuton counter
nttneks. It Is tho consensus of opinion that
never has General Bruslloff been In a better
position to outflank tho German defenses
before Kovel.
TEUTONS UNABLE TO STOP FOB.
It Is regarded as extremely elgnlllcant
that tho powerful reinforcements which tho
AuBtrlnns and German hnc brought to the
Volhynlan front havo been unable to stem
tho Hussion tide. It Is believed thnt tho
Teutons nro now opposing tho Russi.in ad
vance on Kovel with their full strength
with forces which cannot bo augmented as
long as tho Allied offensives on other
fronts threaten the Teuton lines,
But the only effect of this massing of
men at tho danger points on the Hast front
has been, according to all Indications, to
Incrcaso tho toll of prisoners taken by the
Russians and to retard only temporarily
and at Isolated places tho onward sweep
of the Czar's hosts.
In tho Stokhod and Gallclan battles,
from July i to July 8, tho Russians bagged
34,000 of tho enemy's troops. Of these a
largo majority wero taken unwounded, an
Indication of the rmick, powerful thrust3
at unsuspected points which havo charac
terized the Allied drives on both the East
and West fronts. Tho total number of
prisoners taken by General Brusslloff up to
July 10 exceeds 271.000.
Tho Russian drlvo on both sides of tho
Kovcl-Sarny railway admission of the Ini
tial success of which Is made for tho first
time by tho Germans In today's ofllcial
statement has accomplished comcthlng
moro than tho menacing of Kovel nnd tho
capture of thousands of Austria's best
fighting men. It has relieved Lutzk of the
dangerous prcssuro which was being ex
erted upon It by tho German forces thrust
ing forward from Vladlmlr-Volynskl.
To bolster up tr.j crumpling lines along
the Stockhod tho Germans apparently havo
stripped their southern salient of all but
the most necessary dofonders and have
abandoned for good tho movement against
Lutzk.
In IJukowina and on tho Dvlna front
tho lighting has resolved Itself Into violent
artillery combats, with nolther side nb;e to
break through tho guard of their opponents,
although Vienna claims slight successes on
tho Carpathian front.
Much comment was caused hero yester
day by tho German dental of nn alleged
Russian claim that Plnsk had been cacu-

FRENCH REGAIN GROUND
ON VERDUN FRONT
Continued from I'nce One
night betwen tho Mametz and Troncs woods,
east of Albert, but nil other enemy attacks
wero beaten oft with heavy enemy losses,
General Ilnlg reported to the War Olllco this
afternoon. Gcnernl Ilnlg alio said tho Ger
mans have been heavily reinforced.
A party of Irish ruilllers penetrated
German trenches at n strongly held position
southeast If Loom and icmalned 20 minute1',
killing many Germans and retiring with
slight losses.
Tho Kcnforth.i made another successful
mid on the Gorman lines in tho llollonzol

Thoy forced a portion of tho German
trendies nnd In a stiff light killed many
Germans, destroyed several machlno guns
and successfully bombed enemy dugouts. A
number of prisoners wero taken In this
raid.
Tho. stntement tisurd by the War Office
on operations ngaltfl the Germans was
transmitted from British headquarters nt
noon nhd was ns follows:
Sinro the commencement of tho bnt
tlo tho enemy has been largely rcln
forced. Yesterday and last night at
tacks were made at several points
against our new positions. IVcuent nt
Mninrtz nnd Trones Woorti, In both of
which tho Germans regained giound",
nit nttarks wcro repulsed with loss
for the enemy.
Between the main battlefield and the
sea we nro actively engaged in bom
barding tho enemy's positions and raid
ing the front.
To tho southward of Loos a party of
Royat Irisii 1'usillers penetrated tho
enemy's tienches. whero they wcro
strongly hold. They remained 20 min
utes, during which time there was
heavy lighting. Many Germans wcro
killed. Our casualties were Might. Op
posite Holienzollcrn redoubt two com
panies of Seaforth Highlanders forced
their way Into the enemy's trenches
after a stiff fight. Many Germans wero
killed and wounded nnd machlno guns
destroyed. Dugouts crowded with
enemy wero successfully bombarded
and prisoners taken.
Sovernl combats In tho air occurred
Monday. "Wo destroyed ono German
machlno. Ono of our own was brought
down.
ents who have observed tho fighting and
havo tallied with British officers engaged In
somo of the furious encounters around Can
talmalson and La Bolssello. There Is no In
dication that tho German nro down-hearted
or that they aro willing to concede defeat
For several days the German censor has
been passing dispatches from correspond
ents at Berlin of tho most pessimistic, char
acter. These intimate that tho German
Army Is discouraged at tho glgantlo task
that confronts it, because It Is faced by
a solid ring of enemies numerically supe
rior, and that tho German people are gravely
concerned over the possibilities of defeat.
It Is tho belief that these articles aro de
liberately Inspired with tho object of mis
leading tho Allies. Dispatches from Berlin
reporting tho German Army In splendid
spirits and supremely confident of Its ability
to stop tho Allied offensive aro corroborated
In rcllablo advlcos from other sources re
ceived In London.
Tho Allies Intend to contlnuo their offen
sive steadily and methodically, with Inereaa-
) ig carefulness In view of tho possibility of
the Germans attempting to conceal special
preparations.
The fighting, both on tho western nnd
eastern fronts, reveals this determination
to proceed stowly nnd with great care. Tho
British advanco at Contalmalson wns part
of nn almost mechanical movement of
straightening tho British front to conform
with the French ndvnnce.
In Volhynla, where tho Russians nro sys
tematically dcnllng blown nn first ono and
then tho oilier npproaeh to Kovcl, thus pre
venting the Germans from shifting reserves,
tho same methodical advance Is going on.

HAT will the telephone business be
in 1930 ? What will be its growth ?
How will the equipment and its
operation differ from that of to
day? No man can tell, you say! What
the next twenty or even fifteen
years will bring forth is in the face of
past history seemingly beyond concep
tion! But the engineers of the Bell
System do not so regard it !
Five years ago there was under
taken in Philadelphia a development
study on which was to be based a fun
damental telephone plan for this city.
Estimations were necessary, of course,
but they were based on careful compu
tations and analyses; and, so, there ex
ists to-day a "picture" of the city fifteen
vears nence its population, uie distri
bution of that population, its building
development and its property values. So, too, the under
ground telephone plant of the future is plotted out, the
switchboard sizes and locations anticipated, and the de
velopments of the art forecast.
In sum and substance, this development study, checked con
tinuously against each year's results, permits the leaders of the
business to look always ahead, to prepare for Philadelphia's to
morrow, and so to anticipate the public requirement that there
shall be no grave omission or delinquency when "to-morrow",
comes.
The past twenty months have supremely tested the readiness
of the Bell System. The traffic has increased as never before, and
great volumes have arisen almost over night between cities that
formerly had little communication with each other. That this
could not be foreseen is obvious; yet in preventing the over-taxing
of facilities and side-tracking of traffic, nothing has contributed
more than this policy of not only always looking ahead, but being
ahead of the requirements of the hour.
