HEADQl AltTERS OK THE ITALr'
IAN ARMY, June L’". — (Korrespond-J
enee of the Associated Kress.) — Za
gora, which is a little mountain hum
lot that was buried in oblivion before
the war, is famous today as the only
point on the Austro-ltalian front, and
perhaps on any army front, where
enemy trench lines actually run into
each other. Kor 400 miles on this
front the Austrian and Italian trench
es run parallel, being often as close
as thirty to fifty yards, but at Zagora
they slide into each other and then
slide away again up hill and down
dale, following the general trend of
the Isonzo river, which empties into
the Adriatic sea far above Venice.
The situation at Zagora illustrated
the difficult and curious character
of the warfare on this front, where
there are probably not anywhere op
posing lines of trenches crossing so
much as a single acre of flat land, for
there is no flat land except on a rare
mountain top.
“You must see Zagora, they're al
ways fighting there, playing little
tricks on each other.'' said a division
staff officer to a correspondent of
the Associated Press. He then took
down a topographical map and showed !
tw o lines of trenches running for I
miles along the mountain sides. "The!
upper is the Austrians, and the lower!
Is ours,” he explained. “Note that at j
Zagora the two lines run together." j
It was decided that the best time
to see Zagora was in the early morn
ing when tire actual firing was desul
tory. Many miles of walking before
daybreak*over a pontoon bridge span
ning the Isonzo river, and up a maun- *
tain side protected from artillery
: hells by Pamela, brought the party
to the headquarters of ihe officer in
conunund of the hill forces. The com
munder conducted his visitors still
further up the mountain towards Za
gora, already visible as a heap of
ruins of what once had been the
peaceful homes of peasants. The visi
tors went up at an angle of sixty
degres, in the shelter of old trenches
that once had been front trenches.
At every turn were visible little plots j
of wooden crosses where Italian or j
Austrian soldiers had fallen during:
the terrific fighting carried on by the
Italians to gain their way up the face
of the mountain.
“it has been like a sword duel be
tween us ull the time,” Bald the com
mander, “with little artillery fire be

IN THE DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
TERRITORY OF ALASKA, THIRD
DIVISION.
Notice of Term of Court at Cordova,
Alaska.
The President of the United States of
America, to tlie Residents of the
Third Division of the Territory of
Alaska, and to All Whom It May
Concern, Greeting:
You, and each and all of you, will j
please take notice that by an order of i
the court, duly made and entered, a
term of the District Court for the Ter
ritory of Alaska, Third Division, has
been called and will be held in Gor
lova, Alaska, beginning on the 17th
lay of July, 1916, and will continue as
ong thereafter us the public welfare
nay require.
Dated at Valdez, Alaska, this 13th
lay of June, 1916.

District Judge.

in view of the closeness of the oppos
ing trenches, kill both friends and
enemy."
"Its wonderful the way the soldiers
have kept up their spirits here,” lie
went on. “For a whole month last
fall, when the mountain was a mass
of wet rock and mud, when it was pos
sible to get food up only by night,
when the men could not lie relieved,
when to strike a light meant death
from a sniper, when our trenches were
hut hastily constructed piles of stone!
left by the Austrians as we pushed
them foot by foot towards the moun
tain top, the men held on with amaz
ing cheerfulness. Not even the
wounded complained. The death
struggle developed the best qualities
of our men. Even the Socialists
among them, whose principles do not
include fighting, became some of my
Jjest soldiers."
As the visitors came full upon the
battered blackened stone walls of the
hamlet of Zagora, the commander ad
yised: "Stoop low, now, and run
quietly. When you reach our front
line, don't talk, don't even whisper.
The Austrians will hear you and be
gin an attack, thinking we ourselves
are about to start one."
The party halted near the walls of
what had been a huge country kitchen
built under the lowrer side of a house,
facing toward the mountain top. With
in stood men against the wall with
rifles in their hands peeping out little
apertures. On the other side of this
wall, not two feet away, stood silent
enemy watchers, always ready to fire.
The place might have been a tomb,
so silent were its occupants. The
only sound came from the floor, where
men were sleeping with their faces
covered with blankets to deaden their
snores.
This place of Zagora, with its si
lence fraught with expectant danger,
was more impressive than any open
field f d with the shriek of burst
ing shells. The party crept from this
silent corner through dark tunnelled
ways, and zigzagged about other
ruined foundation walls, where other
soldiers stood, and on, down a line,
until the Austrian trenches could he
ueen through a maze of barbed wire
defenses.
An officer pointed to the barbed
wire and said: "We are on such in-'
timate relations with the Austrians’
that we and they use the same barbed^
wire protection. There isn't room to
plant any more, and their wires pro-,
vent them from getting at us, as well
as keeping us from getting at them.''.
Then, with a dulled expression, he
pointed to the bodies of soldiers lying
in the open space caught in the w ire -,
fruit of attacks and counter attacks.
“The Austrians won't let us pick up
the dead, so there they lay.” he ex-*
plained. "They play the mitraileuse
there until they die. Some times it
takes n long time. This morning aj
man died who had been there for three
days, with a fractured leg. At least
he doesn't move any more, so he must
he dead."
