Up to the present the Italians would appear to have been able to maintain their superiority. Italian troops, customs guards and the Al pine men have made many success ful surprise attacks upon the Aus- trians, compelling them' in several cases to surrender without fighting. It is-their custom to advance upon the trenches, which are. considered impregnable, over little mountain trails and win their fight by the sud denness of their appearance. In this manner the mountains to the west and to the south of Malborgeth have been occupied, as have also certain heights dominating the plateau of Gail. - The Austrians recently made an effort to concentrate their force? for an attack on the Italian positions on Monte Nero, but Italian bersaglieri, supported by machine guns and mountain artillery, made a sudden and unexpected advance and drove the Austrians back. The Austiian losses are described as "heavy," the Italians also taking some- prisoners. GOVERNMENT- ROBBED- OP . x MDLLIONS-OF- DOLLARS. GEORGE DOXNELL DIES IN EIGHTY-SIXTH YEAR. Mr. George Donnell, one of the oldest citizens of Greensboro, died Saturday morning at his home on West Gaston street. While he had been feeble for seme time, his list illness was brief and the announce After seven weeks "battering across Galicia, during which; the Russians have been ' thrown back mora than 150 miles, the Austro Germans are as close to Lemberg as were the Germans to Paris -last fall. Never perhaps since before the bat tle of the Marne have the Teutonic allies appeared so confident of suc cess. Having failed in their original plan of crushing France and then turning to Russia, they have reversed the order of theij strategy, and now judging by the expenditure of life and animunition in Galicia, they have pinned their whole faith on paralyzing the Russian army to per mit the throwing of a tremendous weight of men and metal into the west, there either to break through the Franco-British line or force an interminable period of sanguinary warfare. A dispatch from Copenhagen says that the German emperor himself has taken supreme command of the Galician campaign, establishing his headquarters in Silisea aa near to the front as possible. Meajrwhile the German official communication records the further progress of the Austro-German forces toward Lemberg, both to the north and south Of the city. It claims, as well, that the Russians have been cleareu from parts of the Dniester to the south.

The announcement shows - that since -1902; more than 200,006,000 pounds of colored ; oleomargarine . have been manufactured and fraud ulently sold as uncolored. .

More Plentiful. From some cause or other flies are much more plenti ful in Greensboro this summer than they were last, "when the city almost earned the title of the "flylesstown." Some people attribute the presence of the pesky flies to the damp weath or, but the real reason probably is C. the fact that most people are not drug working as hard to exterminate thern as they did last year. Another cause is to be found in the presence of a number of unclean stables in the city. There is a city, ordinance that requir es every stable in the city limits to be cleaned once a week, but all the owners of stables are not complying with the law. In one day last weetc one of the officers of the health de partment found over 20 violations of the ordinance.

Three children were born of this union a son, Arthur, who died in young manhood, and two daughters, Mrs. Thomas L. John ston, of Rock Hill, S. C, and Mrs. berg, and possibly this week will see the culmination of one of the most interesting phases of the war. Fighting is Desperate. Although disagreeing as to the re sults of the German official state ment, the French and British com munications indicate that the fight ing in the Arras section and at the northern and southern parts of the short British front is as desperate as any the western theater of war has developed. The area of hostilities said Mr. Bryan, "and to say that the president has done me the honor to confer with me about everything done in . connection with the state department.

The battle for Lem berg is now raging along the forti fied Grodek line, where it is predict ed the Russians will give a final stub born battle to have the capital.
