The question as to where the Austrian offensive will strike has not yet been answered. Notwith standing the frequent . massing of troops, it Is suspected that th Aus trian commander is counting upon springing a surprise, by reason of his present inactivity. " Aside from minor engagements mentioned In the daily official com munications, and apart from the cus tomary thundering of cannon, this front, from the high Alps to the Adriatic, presents a most peaceful aspeet. ranging from the very trench es back miles upon miles to fertile green fields and flowers and trees. It Is a scene of apparent peace, with war's tragedy marked onlv here and there by ruined buildings, from long range guns and air raids. The country people go about their daily tasks, marketing their garden nro- duce and taking in the early harvest as if the danger were far away. Five I'laae Drought Down. ROME. June 10.

That probably most effec tive of all modern Implements of warfare, and the weapon concerning the operation of which the public Is least familiar, the machine gun.' will be demonstrate.! in the big military horse show at Camp Lewis Sunday. June 16. These gun and their carts animal drawn, will m n and heard In a drill to demonstrate the effi ciency of the divisions' machine gun units. A number of machine gun cart mill enter the arena and go through maneuvers just as on the field of lattl reaching the rest red position and hen starting rapid firing. On one end of the arena there Is an abrupt hill and it is into thU bill that the swift succession ef buTIfts from these guns will be directed. Those who witnessed the demonstra tions of machine guns at the prev ious how regarded th's drill as one of t most thillirtg of a'l the demonstrations. Along with mobine gun maneii er will be those M the 3lf.th field artillery, which U to ge shown In a . lend id display of action. This ar-j illery unit Is noted for Its fonder- rul animaU.

Selected representation from this unit will of- fr a demonstration both of the ef ficiency of the horses that draw the runs and of the men who operate them. It will be a heal show of how artillery oartlclpates In present day warfare. Those runs and teams will swing Into action, nnllmber and rire a salvo or shot.

Beginning Iheir first more rnent under the Intensive training program Inaugurated today for the 91st division, the 36tst Infantry reg inient left camp this-afternoon for "somewhere on thef military . reser vation." where they Srlll undertake a three days field maneuver. -, The Infantrymen were accompanied by tbeif wagon trains aad all the equipment necessary had it been an actual engagement with the enemy Instead of problems In modern war fare to be worked out without cas ualties. The program this afternoon con tained some of the routing of army life,- neeessary but not of a stiectacu !ar nature. A military . problem by moonlight and other problems to morrow and tomorrow night will give to the men a tastrf of living and working on the fieLJ jinder war con ditions. Field kitchens served din ner tonight and dog tents sheltered the men instead of the roomy and wel ventilated barracks of the can tonment. Fourteen Sioux Indians from South Dakota today were disappointed in their hopes of being -exempted from military service and going back to their wives and families on the farm The men claimed exemption on the grounds of dependency and secondly that they are not United States citi zens. They Were overruled in both instances. It! developed during their examination that the men are not un willing to fight for their country af ter It was shown they are given the same advantages of the white men. Some of the men said they had been told that their companions who had been sent tjo Camp Funston were be ing sent homeland the general move ment for exemption on their part was due to a feeling that they should be allowed to return If their comrades were exempted at the Kansas can tonment. The men were all living on govern ment land allotments of varying size and In virtually every case their In come fromi the lands, from the gov ernment as Indians and secondly as soldiers, woukt give their famili8 more than S50 a month and they ad mitted this was sufficient to care for I them. Because the men had forsak- en the tribal customs of the red man I for the civilization or the w hite man. 11 was ruiea tnai tney naa necome American citizens. They had been married since the passage ot the draft law and came to Camp Lewis in the May contingent ot the draU with the first troops to be received here from South Dakola. The examination developed that many of the Indians were not getting the allotments due them as soldiers. They had not understood the expla nations given that at the mustering office that they could obtain allot ments for dependents by giving them half their own pay and it was be lieved when this Is adjusted there will be no further cause for com plaint. The biggest officers mesa In the cantonment was opened today In the 166th depot brigade at Fifth street and Montana avenue. One hundred and forty-four officers can be accom modated and there were 130 present for the first meal today. Officers from the fourth officers training camp, depot brigade, and medical of ficers of the mustering orrice and depot brigade are making their mess there. About 50 men a day are being re ceived Into the national army as re placement troops, taking the place of men discharged because of physical disability or exemption. The aver- .
