first Week of BattleItalians Hammer Vainly at Aus
trian Defenses Fighting Is Desperate Around Verdun,
with French Making Slight Gains
Vienna, May 22. Massing heavy forces on the south
ern Tyrol front, Italians today are making desperate but
unsuccessful efforts to stem the Austrian invasion.
Commanders ordered repeated assaults of Italian Al
pine forces on the Teuton lines. Every onslaught was re
, pulsed. According to official announcements, the Aus-
trians claim capture of several more Italian positions and
3,000 prisoners.
Reviewing the first week of the battle, the war office
declared that a total of 16,000 Italians had been made
prisoner. Considerable terraine has been seized.
Fighting desperately under direct orders from King
Victor Emmanuel, the Italians are bringing every avail
able man and gun into action in the bloody Astico valley
in efforts to oust the Austrians, who there gained their
first foothold on the enemy's soil. It is believed that the
king, now at the front, ordered that Austrian invaders be
expelled at any cost.
"The fiditine in southern Tyrol is increasing in vio
lence," said the communique. "We (Austrians) hold the
summit of Armentara ridee. Troops of the crown prince
fflntnred Cima Del Laehi and Cima Di Nezole. The
enemy was driven south from Borgola Pass."

when she went to the woods to meet
William Orpet, charged with her mur
der, according to the assertion today
of Alias Joshcphine Davis, closest friend
of the dead girl. Miss Davis will be a
witness for tho prosecution in its at
tempt to prove that Orpet, a college
boy, forced Marian to Bwallow deadly
poison so he could be free to marry
another.
"Marian knew that worries over her
physical condition were ended," said
Miss Davis. "She realized that her
love for Orpet had grown cold. She
was not even jealous when his engage
ment to Celesto Youkcr was an
nounced." Young Orpet 's counsel, it was report
ed today, have definitely determined
tlmt l,n ulnill tnlte tlie stand in his own
defense. He was the sole witness t5V
Marian Lambert's death. Ho far, he
has made one statement concerning it,
declaring the girl lay dying when he re
turned to ner atier tnoir last try-si u
Helms woods. Tho defense will produce
witnesses, teachers, tit the Lake Forest
high school, to show that Marian took
an unusual interest, in a chemistry lec
ture on cyanide poison a few days be
fore her death. She was then plotting
suicide, they will contend.

anarchist scttlonteiii near Tacoma. It
was this association that naturally won
him the confidence of the anarchist
loaders throughout the country and
made it possible for him to learn some
of their important secrets.
In 1913, he declares, ho offered his
services to thc Burns detectives to find
Caplan and Schmidt and succeeded.
Bomb Exploded Too Soon.
The Rockefeller bomb exploded, he
said, while the plotters were testing it
in their room in New Lork. The nnmes
of the bomb makers, according to Mes
erve were nnmcd Carmon and Hanson
and Berg. All three were killed when
the bomb went off and wrecked the
house.
The bomb which was to have wreck
ed tho Tombs was discovered before it
went off.
Meserve hnd met both Caplan and
Schmidt becoming an operative. He
met Cnplnn in San Francisco, he do
clared, the day before the Times was
blown up, nnd Caplan told him he wns
going to L.OS Angeies. ine ncxi "ay,

"From thnt day until September.
1913," said Meserve, "I tried to find
Caplan on my own account. I finally
decided I could do nothing without
backing, and so offered my services to
Burns."
He soon located Caplan at Rolling
Bay, Wash., and it was there thnt Cap
lan, he says, revealed to him the al
leged anarchist plot to kill President
McKinley. Together with Czolgoz, who
fired the fatal shot, a woman nnd an
other man planned tho assnssination,
Meserve declared,
Czolgoz Changed Plan.
"Caplan told mo Czolgoz did not do
tho job as thoy hail planned," said
Meserve. "They had arranged it so
Czolgoz could escape. Caplan said he
had a closed carriage and was waiting
for Czolgoz to take him out of Buffalo.
He was still waiting, he Buid, when he
heard peoplo shouting the president was
shot and the assailant captured. Cap
lan thought that at the last minnte
Czolgoz changed tho plan so it would
look as if he alono were responsible."
t David Caplan as well as Emma Gold
man, nnd another man, were arrested on
suspicion immediately after tho shoot
ing of McKinley, but were released
for lack of evidence.
Meserve says the p'an to drop a
bomb from an aeroplane at the Racke
feller home was decided upon because
there was a high wall around thc
Rockefeller estate.
In his guise as an anarchist, Meserve
himself was sent on a reconnoitcrlng
expedition to the Rockefeller estate a
week before the bomb was to have beea
fired.
