the highest it has ever been in many

heavy loosers as he lost consider-
able property by the overflow. The
water in his barn lot was reported
as better than knee deep.
LONDON, May 27. The King of
Italy has taken supreme command
of the army and navy and is now
with his troops at the front. On
the Austro-Italian frontier and for a
few mile* in Austrian territory the
Italian lines stretch for a distance
of fifty miles or more. In their
forward movement the Italians have
occupied several towns and are
striking eastward toward Triest
The Austrian war office admits
that Italian troops have entered
Condino In the Tyrol about twenty
miles east of Hovereto, where prior
to the declaration of war an Aus-
trian barracks was blown up and
many Italians were arrested. At
the same time, Vienna claims that
the Italians attacks on the Carpa-
thian frontier were repulsed with
considerable losses to the invaders
and that an engagement across the
border north of I'dine, the Italians
fled, leaving their guns behind.

Triumph, which saw service in Chi-

WAR HITS POSTAL RECEIPTS.
WASHINGTON, May 27.—Postal
revenues for tbe first half of the
current fiscal year, which ended Ju-
ly 1, shows a deficit of practically
$6,500,000. Figures issued by the
postoffice department show the ex-
penses of the postal establishment
Increased more than $9,000,000 as
against the corresponding period last
year, while receipts decreased al-
most $500,000.
In connection with the financial
statement, Postmaster General
Burleson said:
"The deficit is directly attributa-
ble to the European war, which in-
terrupted the normal growth of pos-
tal revenues, the closing of the
stock exchanges last fall was one of
the factors which reduced the flow
of both domestic and foreign letter
and registered mail and cut a big
hole in postal receipts In the large
cities. Mall order exchange also
vas for a time seriously restricted.
"Were it not for the parcel post,
the deficit for the first half of the
present fiscal year undoubtedly
would be much larger.
"A steady increse of postal re-
ceipts Is now reported and constl-
tues undisputable proof of return-
ing prosperity."
