I n Twer new maks MOTHBALL Look For Renewal to Right and Left long Brenta SITUATION IS SERIOUS Along Piave Italians Hold Ev ery, Position, With Aus trians Still Fighting MUCH BUSHWHACKING Many of Best Positions Taken and Towns Set on Fire by Italian Artillery No N Fear in Venice Italian Headquarters, Thursday, June 20. The second phase of the Austrian offensive featured by attacks to the right and left of Valstagna, along the Brenta river and in the mountains, should logically begin soon, now that the effort on the Piave has failed. It is felt that if the Austrians do not renew their efforts to penetrate to the plains through the Brenta re gion and taking Monte Grappa it would be an acknowledgment of defeat and their inability to carry out the ambitious plan launched a week ago. The situation, however, is still re garded as very serious and all prep arations have been made to meet any new offensive. Along tiie Piave the Italian posi tions are virtually unchanged. The Austrians are fighting well, according to the Italians, but the latter are out classing them. It is believed that the Italians would have driven the Aus trians back across the river before this but for the nature of the open fighting, which an American on this front said reminded him of the Indian combats in the old days. Night fighting and bushwhacking methods are necessary, although they are not favored by the military author ities because of the confusion and danger of firing upon their own men : Another difficulty has been the simi- larity in color hetween the Italian and ' Austrian uniforms. The Austrian ; losses have been extremely heavy. Al I though there is much sharp fighting i tnere are many lulls, during which the J only distraction of the armies is i. watching the bombing operations ot the rival aviators. The fighting on the Montello pla : teau continues to be very severe, ! since it is felt by the Italians that the loss of this position would be more im- X A. 11 . 1. i 1 -a - ! poriam man ine witnarawai from a i few kilometres of ground along the : Piave. The conditions there are also ; bad, owing to the wooded hills which are crossed by 72 ravines, each of which constitutes a separate line of : defense. Many of them are still strewn with dead, and indication of the intensity of the Austrian resist ance as the efiemy was slowly pressed back from points he had won on tae first rush. The Austrians early in the offensive had almost half the plateau but now they have only about one-third, in r eluding many of their best positions, such as the town of Nervesa, which has been set on fire by the Italian ar tillery. No fear is felt in Venice that the , Austrians will get there. The corre spondent on visiting this city, found ,. an absence of excitement and there - was no intention to leave on the par.

The committee was told that while the additional revenue from the in creased rates would be considerable, the rates and the system would op press the newspapers at a time of great need and impose a systemOf collection; complicated and expensive. Rates to the outer zones would be pro hibitive, Mr. McAneny said, and would mean restriction of circulation. Ar rangements for passr the increased cost of postage on to the subscriber, he said, already are under way. A thorough investigation of the sub ject before drafting legislation was urged, Mr. AcAneny asserted that the postoffice department had been built Into a profit-maker largely through the instrumentality of second class mail.
