I -a r. ORY COMB HICK DAILY ME VOL. Ill NO. 238 NO OUTWARD OF NEXT GERMAN STROKE Only Raids and Artill; Front and Italia-Nativity on Italian Front. Where Ne. . Attack Will Fall Remains Unsolved by Allies Vy the Associated Tress. There are yef po outward indica tions as to where the German com mand will launch its next stroke ngainat the allied lines. The fighting lull on the western front continues, with only raids and local attacks, while on the Italian front the Austrians, reeling from the shock of the repulse on the Piave, i'ccininly are content to allow the Italians to have the initiative. It is two weeks since the German crown prince ceased his ineffectual I'lTorU to' reach Compiegne and the breathing space which has been lon ger tlvtn that between tho offensive on the Aisne and that of Montdidier has o'V'bled tho Germans to pre pare for this contest. Allied capitals look for another blow very soon. Military observers believe it will come on the front be tween Montdidier and Ypres. For the past few days the German artillery fire has been violent on several sectors, each of which might be selected for an attack. These sec tors are south of Arras, the northern and southern lees of tho Lys sali ent, and south of the Aisne. The Germans may attempt to surprise the allies by striking where they hope they will not. 10 E Dy the Associated Press. Copenhagen, June 28.

Kerensky comes with tho strongest credentials, first as the former leader of Russian Soci alism, who has learned by bitter ex perience tho rocks and shoals that bestrew its course, and second, as the authorized spokesman of the So cialist and non-Socialist party of Kussiii, says the Times former Pet rojcrad correspondent, who is now in I'Ondon, in an article today.- II,. ,.,,.

A reel ment of troop sin General Pershing's expeuiuonary iorces has been order ed to Italy, probably as an advance guard of additional forces to be sent later, to complete the unity on that iront or Italian, British, French and nmerican troops. O A T" 1 m secretary xsaicer announced yea- icrciay that General Pershing had been instructed to select a regiment now in training in France for imme diate movement to Italy. It will be replaced by a regiment to be sent irom the United States to fill up the division from which it is drawn. The original plan was to use a part of the mobile reserves of the American expeditionary force for the Italian expedition, but later it ap peared likely that the movement would be made direct from the Unit ed States. While there is good reason to . be lieve that the American forces in Italy will be augmented considerably later, yesterday's announcement ap pears to make it certain that no di rect movement from the United States is planned. It is known, how ever, that the suggestion has been considered that the Italian expedi tion be made entirely independent of General Pershing's forces although equally under the direct direction of General Foch as supreme commander. The nature of the discussion with General Pershing . as to Italian ven ture has not been disclosed. The purpose of sending troops to Italy, Mr. Baker explained, is more for political than military reasons. It is desired to demonstrate again that the allied nations and the Unit ed States are one in their purposes on all fronts. For this reason, there has been no suggestion that an Amer ican army be sent to Italy, although all troops sent will see actual service at the front, associated with Italian or more probably French and British forces.

POSTPONED MAN ARE It is not the people of Ashe county who are bringing that fine , section into disrepute, but resisters 1 who have gathered in the mountains j from several counties lower down J and from Tennessee and Virginia, in the opinion ot Mr. jbrank A. Liinney of Boone, who was here yesterday afternoon en route to Salisbury on business. The resisters have gathered in the neighborhood of Creston postoffice, a community noted for its fine, intel ligent citizens, whose loyalty cannot be equalled m Wake or any other county, Mr. Linney said. As Cres ton is near the corner of Virginia and Tennessee, it is a convenient re treat for deserters, and there are any number of places where the men can hide out. Gotvernor Bickett's preseifce at Jefferson tomorrow will do good, of coarse, but the trouble will be m his inability to reach the right crowd. Ashe people are sound to the core, and they will hear him gla'dly, but he and they may have no influence over the men who have taken to the tall timbers. Speaking of Watauga, Mr. Linney said only three men have had to be brought in by the officers, and that county has furnished miny volun teers. It adjoins Ashe and its peo are loyal and helpful. Unfortuna tely Ashe county people will have to hear many unkind things said of them, but it is to be hoped that the resisters can be brought- to terms without trouble. Certainly the loyal people there will do all in their power to make this possible. FORMER CZAR WAS MURDE By the Associated Press. Amsterdam, June 28.
