London, June Id-—According to
the Evening Standard the Austrians
now occupy the west bank of the
Piave from the Conegliano railway
to Seensonbend, a distance of a mile
.and a half. ,
Associated Press Dispatch.
New York, June 18.—Holding the
lines intact along virtually all the 90
mile battlefront from the Adriatic to
the Asiago Plateau, the Italian and
allied armies appear to have given
the Austrians a serious set-back. Ap
proximately a million Austrians were
' uesd in the attack, but they gained
but little except along the Piave,
where progress is seemingly too slow
'ufto be threatening. Austrian losses
i*re described as frightful. The
greatest Austrian gains along tl^s
Piave does not exceed more than two
or three miles, while on the vital
mountain sector along the Upper
'Brenta the British are holding their
positions solidly, and defeat of the
enemy in this sector is claimed. Re
ports from Italy now hint at a count
\ er offensive.
Activity on the front in France con
tinues to be of a minor character. The
French took prisoners in local op
erations and patrol encounters south
of the Aisne and between Curoq and
the Marne. In Picardy and Flanders
t artillery and raiding parties are ac
tive.
American positions northwest of
Chateau-Thierry a(re being bombed
heavily. Indications are that the en
emy may again try to drive the Amer
icans from Belleau Woods. On the
Wuneville front the German aides
captured a few American prisoners,
while in the Vosges American gun
A ners broke up a German raid.
Associated Press Dispatch.
Paris, June ,18.— Ninety-two Aus
trian divisions have been hurled into
the greatest battle Italy has yet
fought, according to the Italian offi
cial announcement received here
through,the Havas agency.
The forces engaged comprise three
fourths of the whole Austrian army.
Associated Press Dispatch.
Italian Headquarters, June 18—Bit
ter fighting is in progress along the
Piave. The Austrians are sustain
ing large losses from concentrated
fire t^Italian batteries. The Ital
ialf; are making repeated counter-at
tacks. *
Associated Press Dispatch.
Rome, June 18.—The Austrians
haye been stopped everywhere along
the Piave river between Senson and
Fossal-ta, says tonight’s official state
ment. In the mountain region and
around Montello there has been no
infantry attack by the enemy.

New Orders For Sale of
Sugar Issued Today
'
| The slogan of the United States
Food Administration, “Food Will
;Win the War;” was most emphati
! cally brought home to the people of
jthe country in new orders issued by
Herbert C. Hoover, food administra
tor for the United States, and trans
| mitted from the office of the State
^Food Adminisrator to all county offi
! cials of this organization in Arkan
1 sas.
The new orders pertain to the sale
i of sugar, which is limited to two
pounds in the city and five pounds in
the country.
I The maximum quantity a family is
i permitted to buy is three pounds per
capita a month.
j In other words, if there are four
|in a family, that family is entitled to
twelve pounds of sugar. That amount
may only be purchased two pounds at
a time. Grocers should give receipts
for each sale, showing date of pui'
chase. Sellers and buyers of sugar
are cautioned to observe this new
ruling.
Sugar for commercial canning is to
be allowed as needed. Sugar for
home canning is limited to sales of
| fifteen pounds. When that is all and
' more sugar needed for home canning,
the County Food Administrator may
I issue the necessary permit to get ad^
Iditional sugar for that purpose oixly.
Beefsteak and roast beef will be
allowed on menus in hotels, restau
rants and public eating places dur-N
ing one meal a week only. Boiled
beef may be served but on two meals
a week. In place of beef, the use of
pork and its by-products, ham, bacon
and sausage, is urged.
The people of Arkansas should
understand that these orders come

Wants To Get Back To
Helo Whip the Huns
Joe Younger, of this city, has re
ceived an enthusiastic letter from his
brother, John Younger, who is at
Samp May, New Jersey, recovering
:rom the effects of gas poisoning
which he received a few months ago
n battle on the front line in France,
rohn was the first Newport'boy to be
;ouched by a hun, and when he comes
lome on a visit he will find a great
welcome waiting for him.
The letter, in part, follows;
“We have a nice place here, a 300
■oom hotel, for a hospital. I have a
oom with a private,bath on the se
:ond floor. The place costs the gov
■rnment $99,000 per year. I am all
4
o. k. except my teeth, and am very
short-winded. I doubt if I will be
able to do any hard work soon, but
since I hit the boat in France I have
gained twenty pounds. I may stay
here all summer. I hope, however,
that I will go home on a furlough or
a discharge.
“Well, Joe, I had some awful ex
periences in France. I might tell you
about it, and you might read about it,
and you probably would think I was
lidding you. It would take a deformed
mind to imagine what takes place ov
er there. But, nevertheless, I would
not take anything for my trip, and if
they can fix me up I want to go back
to France where the big show is going

on. No soldiering on this side for me,
for there is work and fighting to be
done, and believe me, the Americans
are certainly stepping to it, and we
are going to win. And a man has to
be a man and a d- good one to
take part in the business over there.
“It is going to take us longer than
the public really thinks to whip the
enemy, for old Fritz has some fight
ing machine. I wish I could be with
you and tell you something about it.
I was in the Toud sector until the last
of March and then went to the west
ern front about ten kilometers from
Cambrai. That is where I got mine.”
