While the RusaJans continue their

days of comparative Idleness, again
have started their gr*at offensive on
the Balnalsea plateau against the
Aastrain* and to the northest of
Qoriala.
In the sonth, however, from the

stand viol eat counter-attacks by the
Auatriaa*. who are endeavoring to
hold baek General Oadorna's lines
from a further approach to Triest.
The Aa stria as at OH place momenta
rily forced the Italians to cede ter
ritory. A ceun tar-attack by he Ital

sition but resulted la the capture of
more than 400 prisoners. On the
Bainslzsa plateau, northeast of Go
rilla* the Italians have made further
gains, capturing an Important Aus

No details have been vouchsafed
concerning the battle which is In

' Nearly 1,700 men have been cap

Again the Italians have sent their
airmen over Pola, the Austrian naval
base in the Adarlatle, dropping bombs,
the explosloas of which have added
materially to the damage done in pre

In the region of Riga the Russians
are retiring eastward and northeast

Again the French and Qermans ar*
engaged in extremely heavy fighting
In the Verdun sector, with the Ger
mans trying to recoup their loss of
the end of last week on the right
bank of the Meuse, but with General
Petaln's forces holding them back al
most everywhere and covering the
ground with their dead.
Ov*r a front of nearly two miles
the Germans, following unsuccessful
attacks in the sector of the Bols Dss
Fosses and the Bols dee Caurleres, re
turned to the fray with renewed vig
or, especially around Hill 344. At
some points French trenches were
captured by the Qermans but they
later were driven out and the French
line was entirely re-established. In
the fighting around the Bols de Posses
Saturday night the Germans left near
ly one thousand dead on the ground
before the Prench positions.
At various points on the front held
by Field Marshal Haig the British
troops have dellverod successful at
tacks, especially northwest of St.
Quentln, where German positions on
a front of several hundred yards were
captured and prisoners taken. In

roaring In the mighty bombardment
that has been In progress more than
a fortnight, but as yet the Infantry
has not been looßsd for the Impend

There has been a considerable
slackening In the German advance In
northern Russia, due In large measure
to the Russians making stands si sev

LANSING EXPOSES BREACH
OF SWEDISH NEUTRALITY
Develops Another Ca** of Sinister
Tsutonlo Diplomacy.
Washington.—Cople* of three brief
dispatches made public by the state
department revealed another ca*a of
sinister German diplomacy, thli time
directed agMnst Argentina ar.d Involv
ing the Swedlah foreign office In an
apparent grave breach of neutrality
and diplomatic propriety.
They were messages to Berlin from
Count the German charge at
Beunos Aires, forwarded by the Swed
ish legation there as It* own commun
ications. Desldes advising that no
concessions be granted Argentina In
the submarine controversy, they sug
gest that the South American coun
try's ships be sunk "without leaving
any trace" and gave Information as to
the sailing and position* of certain
vessels.
The department's announcement
was sent to the Argentine embassy
and the Swedish legation here at tho
same time It was given to the public.
There was no explanation as to how
the messages came Into the hand* of
the United States nor discussion aa to
what may be the result.
The action created a aenaatlon, par
ticularly among the r.eutral diplomats.
Baron Akerhlelm, the Swedish charge
In the absence of advices from his gov
ernment, would not comment further
than to say It was Improbable the
Swedish minister at Buenos Aires
knew of the contents of the dls
patchos. Axel Robert Nordvall of tha
special Swedish economic mission, de
clared that he was certain that Baron
Lowen, the Swedish minister to Argen
tina, had no knowledge of the contanta
of the dispatches.
May Recall Baron Lowsn.
Mr. Nordvall was of the opinion
that Baror. Ixiwon would b* recalled
by the Swedish government and aald
tie looked for an explanation and a
disavowal of any Intention to commit
an unneutral act.
What effect the disclosure will
have on Argentina's relations with
Germany could only be guessed at
both by state department officials and
by Ambassador Naon. The ambassa
dor already has transmitted message*
to hi* government and until Instruc
tions are received he will not comment
on the Incident.

Washington.—The great war credits
bill, authorising $11,635,546,460 In
bonds and certlflcates, passed ths
House unanimously. Action by the
Senate si sopn as the pending war
tax bill Is disposed of Is planned by
administration leaders.
Not a material amendment was
added to the bill by th* Hons*. Rep
renentative Moore , of Pennsylvania,
led a group of republicans In a futile
light for consideration of his proposal
fof a war expenditures committee,
which was thrown out on a point of
order.
Every effort of republicans to limit
the control the bill would give Secre
tary McAdoo over the bonds and cer
tlflcates resulted In failure The last
flgfct, made by Representative John
son. of Washington, to direct th* sec
retary to spend at least $2,600,000 for
newspaper advertising In disposing of
the bonds, was d*feat*d overwhelm
ingly. If the secretary desires under
the measure, he may us* some of the
$17,600,000 appropriated for disposing
of all the bonds and certlflcates In
newspsper publicity.
Representative Cannon, of Ullnoii,
obtained the adoption of a compro
mise amendment to exempt from tax
ation forever Interest on bonda not In
excess of |6,0Q0. He wanted to make
It (10,000, but Democratic Leader
Kit chin would not agree..
The bill authorUoa the lasuanc* of
$7,638,945,400 worth of convertible 4
per cent bonds, .aubject to super-taxes
and war profit* taxes, and to termi
nate at the dlacretlon of the seers
