The towns of Po sina and Arsiero again have fallen Into the hands of the Italians, while in the district of Adige and Brentarl Rivers numbers of peaks and moun tain positions have been retaken. The Austrians, according to the Italian War Office, vainly attempted to hold back the Italians by a concentrated artillery and machine gun fire, but the Italians would not be denied. There again has been a slackening in the intensity of the bombardment on the various sectors around Verdun, and only one infantry attack was at tempted Tuesday. This was launched by the Germans on the village of Fleury, northwest of Verdun, which is held by the French. It was repulsed. The Germans also essayed an attack against the British southeast of Ypres, but this also was without result. In patrol engagements the British at many points entered German trenches, inflicting casualties on the defenders and taking some prisoners. Four German aircraft have been brought down by British airmen in aerial fights. The British lost one machine.

SWEEPING INVASION IS FUNSTON'S PLAN Big Army to Be Hurled Across Border if War Depart ment Gives Word. MEXICANS ARE LINING UP Csrranza's Apparent Intention la to Take Jefensive, in Event of War. Haiti on Risbee Is Given Up When Troops . Are Sent. SAN ANTONIO, Tex.. June 27. "While the quartermaster's department was working' out details of caring1 for more than 35,000 additional men of the Na tional Guard, General Funston and his staff today were engaged in revising and fixing- the long- list of troop sta tions with a view to starting- a big, sweeping- Army across the border if necessary. Reports from General Pershing's col umns and from the forces along the border reached headquarters more fre quently than other days, but almost all these had to do with the routine of a big- Army, and carried no news of clashes with Mexicans, either bandits or troops of the de l'acto government. Unless made necessary by some overt and unmistakable act of Carranza's troops the American Army will take no hostile steps toward Mexico until directed by the War Department. Army officers were eager for news from Washington and Mexico City that would determine the character of the Army's action. Their own reports told of con tinued concentration of Mexican forces within striking- distance of the border, but there appeared no indication that Carranza was planning- anything but a defensive movement. The apparent intention of Sonora commanders to send a force of 1500 throug-h Naco to Bisbee, presumably to raid the copper plants there, appeared today to have been abandoned. "When the report was received last nig-ht the Twenty-second Regiment of Infantry was sent from Douglas to Bi3bee on a special train. Today there came reports of a strengthening of the Mexican garrison opposite Nogales, but staff o tncer s here expressed the opinion that the American force there was able to care for itself. Batteries A, B and C. of the Third Field Artillery, left for Eagle Pass tonight. COLLEGE RECORD HELD FAMILY REPRESENTED AT COR VALLIS 23 SUCCESSIVE YEARS. P. P. Underwood, Farmer of The Dalle.

ICE STOPS SHAGKLETON ATTEMPT TO RESCUE HIS HEN IN ANTARCTIC KAILS. Steamer Provided by Uruguay Unable to Break Through Barrier Hope Is Still Held Out. LONDON. June 27. Lieutenant Sir Ernest Shackleton has been unable to rescue the men, numbering 22 and com prising the main body of his Antarctic expedition, who were left on Elephant Island.
