Italians Retain Monte Corno.
In the Italian theatre considerable
figtiting ' continues around Monte
Corno, which commands the ap
proach to the valley leading" from
Trent to Itoverto. .Here the Aus
trlans have renewed their attacks to
regain the ground captured by Gen
eral Diaz's forces last week, but the
Italians have successfully warded off
every blow. Attempts by the invad
ers to retake positions ' on several
other sectors of the front also met
with repulse.
Tiie British weekly casualty re
port issued Tuesday, gives further
proof of the sanguinary character of
the fighting that has been going on
since March 21. The latest list ag
gregates 4C.612, of which number
501 officers and 5,063 men were kill
ed or died of wounds. The report of
last week showed 40,004 casualties,
and that of the previous week 38,-
61, or a total for the three weeks
of 120.307 men killed, wounded or
nitesing. ' !
NOT THE BEST COMBINATION.
It conies to us filtered through
feme reports, which we arc not such
as the publicity of the facts, might
add to the good name of some ot" our
your:g ladies, or to their reputation.
The alleged facts-being that a driver
of one of the auto cars used for liv
ery service, got two young girls.
not many years out of pinafores and
with some soldiers were out having
time. The were called up on the
carpet about the matter and given a
pretty straight talking to. Do you
parents know just what the young
girls or boys, for that matter, you are
allowing to chase the streets away
into the night are doing? You have
a responsibility in the matter and
on your hands the blame if they are
going wrong. . '
Thi.? we are not saying in m'tiga
tion of the worthless hounds who are
using every endeavor to induce them
to their ruin. The institution in ad
dition to the present sumptuary laws,
the whipping post would be an in
centive for both the leacherous pups,
who were the .tool in inducing the
young girls into the dangerous situa
tion, as well as those who. have been
trying to clandestinely making ap
pD:ntments for immoral purposes, to
abstain from these acts.

HOW ABOUT THOSE CHILDREN
Incident to the movement fcr the
conservation of children, and ti.e re
cent movements which are being
taken, for the weighing and measur
ing of the babies- in the rural dis
tricts, comes the report of the large
percentage of children in the Ger
man schools, x which yearly commit
suicide to escape the rigors of lhj?
efficiency system there regardless cf
whether it is brutal or not.
Coining also just now is the system
employed in Ohio, whereby the child
who does not average up with the
balance, in any of the rcquirenents,
is given special examination as to his
delinquencies.
In case it is eye, strain, adenoids,
or any physical defect, which in any
way interferes with the prcgjvss he
is supposed to make, those defects
are remedied, as far as possible, but
the lash is not used, where something
else would answer, and bring better
results. There are mental defects,
which have come from incirrect
teaching of ihe parents, and which
careful diagonsis and treatment will
eliminate from the coming genera
tion. It is up to this generation to
bequeath to the coming people, who
are to follow, a heritage, of- clean
niinds, good habits a faultless physi
cal organization and character And
by the last" is meant clean, health
wholesome, and efficient thinking and
power to act, and that right, and to
the point."
HAD SPLENDID MEETING.
The Woodmen Circle lodge met in
regular session at their lodge rooms
last evening. It was a fine meet
ing, one of the best they 'have held
for seme time and very arge-y at
tended by the members cf the

daughters initiation was held at this i
time and a class of thirteen was ini

assisted in the initiation 'cermonies. j
which were most impreive and car
ried out in a most capable manner by
the various oBiccrsnd Vnembis of
the lodge. . Afxer Ihe initiation Mrs.
Kennedy, gave a "most interring talk
and fold of the amount of work that
had been done by this "organization,
as well sis the Red Cross work She
stated that in some localities the
Woodmen Circle lodge had Red Cross
Auxiliaries and devoted one or mere
evenings to this work of 'mercy. She,
also, spoke of the enonjicus amount
of money the Woodmen Circle .'jdges

Cross. In closing she paid a splendid
tribute to the Deputy. Mrs. Joseph

ing up such an excellent Woodmen
Circle lodge in Plattsmouth and of
how she was willing to go or to do
her part, regardless of other duties,

that it was her duty and for the
Woodmen Circle. T.he .ladies wero

ments, to which all did,aniple justice.

THE FRENCH AND
'HUNS FIGHT FOR
BLOODY HILL 44
GAULS STORM EMINENCE AFTER
BRITISH ARE FORCED FROM
IT BY THE FOE.
Germans Now Clinging to the Slopes
in Face of Desperate Attack
Hill Hard Contested.
With the British Army in France,'
May 14.- Hill: 44, a small but im-
portant elevation near the Wyver-j
beek river, north of Kemmel, about
i
which such sanguinary conflicts J
have been waged since May S, ap-;
peared today to be in the hands of
the Germans again.
The enemy began an assault yes
terday morning and gained a hold
on this position and at latest reports
was. still clinging tenaciously to the
rugged slope?, although the hard
hitting French had been pressing
the Invaders vigorously.
Hill 4 4 has been one of the most
hotly contested points on the north
ern battle field.
When the Germans attacked be
tween La Clytte and Voormezeele on
May 8, the British were holding the
elevation. Strong enemy fortes cen
tered a drive against this point and
after bitter fighting captured it.
Drive Germans Back.
The British, in a smashing counter-thrust,
hurled the gray coats
back. The following day the enemy
organized such heavy counter-attacks
that the defenders were once
more forced to fall back behind the
hill.
The Germans retaine;! the de
fenses until the day when the French
were sent in for a counter-attack. '
The poilus stormed and retook the '
hill in a brilliant operation, which
alro resulted in the capture of God
de'one farm, a strong position to the
east
It was a foregone conclusion that i
the allied claim to Hill 44 could not
go undisputed, since it dominates a!
considerable stretch of territory in)
,hc va!levs of the BiUSgish Kemmel-j
,)cck AVil!ebeek and Vyvcrbeek riv-
ers.
Yesterday morning the enemy car
ried 'out "a focal- bombardment about
the hill and followed this by a de-j
termined attack. The French oppes-j
ed strenuously, but the persistent (
Germans kept pressing forward in.
the face of heavy machine gun and;
rifle fire, until they secured a foot
ing on the hill. The fighting was J
still going on today. j
-British Repulse Attack. j
Near Morlencourt, which lies to
the south Of Albert, the Germans de
livered an .attack against the Brit
ish on a front of nearly a mile, and
at one point penetrated a British
position.
Ti e Australians, in a counter-attack,
almost immediately recaptured
the ground and the enemy suffered
heavy losses and "was repulsed on
the other parts of the front.
The British fighters made a field
day of it. When Germans attempted
a rafd in this region, forty-eight of
the raiders remained behind to grace
the prisoner's cage and large num
bers of their less fortunate comrades
lay dead in front of the British po
sition at the end 6f the engage
ment. The British loss was light.
North of Robecq, in Flanders," the
British took the initiative into their
owr hands and in an attack inffict
ed casualties on the enemy and cap
tured prisoners.
On the Amiens sector, the French
'carried out a similar maneuver with
results. Whenever the Germans
j essayed sl stroke, except near Mor-
lancourt and Hill 44, they met with
i . . ....
almost instant repulse at tne nanus
of the allies.
