London, May 22.-More than 60,000,
soldiers are engaged in the offensive'
in the Trentino region in an attempt
to break through the Italian- border
lines, according to an. official state-
went given out by the Italian general .
The Italians express little fear that
tis attempt will be successful. Tey
pi tu, it the natural defenses of the
rnountaitous country in which the of-
fensive is occ'uring. This district, al- ,
ways strongly fortified, has been
greatly re-enforced in the last year
and the Italians ::ay that it is impreg-$'
nable. Thcy add that the Austrians
began the offeasive with no hope of
success, but simly to keep thle Italialn
forces too busy to begin an offensive
attack of their own at another point
flakinig "Aligg'ty Effort"
"A. mighty effort," is the character-
nation of the Italian general staff of
the present attack. Since last No-
ven~ber, the statement adds, the Aus-
trians have been piling men - tp.
aganst the Italian front. There fare
33 divisions (about 500,000 men) asnd
1all the artillery that can be spared
from other battle districts dlashing
sagainst the Italian forces. Of thse,
16 divisions are fighting ini the Tren-
tino district. The, most recent Au-
trian official statement claims several
successes on the South Tyrol front,
but sitys nothing about any great .ad-
vantages gained there.

German troops stormed French po-

Food Crisis In Berlin
Berlin, May 22.-Food crises in Ber-
lini have reached new high levels,
Many families are storing up food in
anticipation of fixed government regu-
lation: Some dealers have made for-
tunes in the last few dlays because of
the food condition.
It is generally believed that there
is sufficient' food, but that deective
distribution is responsible for the
present crisis.

START CAMPAIGN IN
TUBERCULAR SURVEY
Yesterday marked the beginning of
a three weeks' tuberculosis survey inf
Washtenaw county conducted by the
State Board of Health. It is part of
the state-wide survey that is being
made as a result' of a bill passed by
the 1915 legislature carrying with it
an appropriation of $100,000 to be
used by the State Board of Health to
curb the spread of tuberculosis in.
Michigan during the two years from
June 1, 1915, to June 1, 1917. Wash-
tenaw is the sixteenth county that is
being visited by the "Health First"
party that the State Board of Health
has placed, in charge of the survey.
During the eight months that the work
,has been in progress in Michigan' very
nearly 6,000 persons have been °+ex-
amined for tuberculosis and about
2,600 cases of the disease, either "pos-
itive" or "suspicious," have been been
discovered.
With headquarters established in
Ann Arbor, the state health workers
will put in three weeks in this county
in an endeavor to discover how many
cases of the disease are here. TheI
University of Michigan is interestedI
in this work for several reasons. In
the first place the president of the,
State Board. of Health, who is to a
many years. Moreover, the institu-
tion's own health service department
has been co-operating with the state
health workers almost from the begin-
ning of the 'survey last October. Dr.
H. H. Cummings, in the examinations
for tuberculosis that are being carried
on from time to time at the univer-
sity, is using blanks furnished by the
tuberculosis division of the State
B~oard of Health. Also, the headquar-
ter of the Michigan State Anti-Tu-
berculosis society, an organization
that also is co-operatixig with the
State Board of Health in the present
effort to curb this diseases, are on the
campus, in the medical building. Dr.
Wm.n DeKleine, in active charge of
the survey, is a recent product of the
university, having received the de-
gree of M. S. in .Public I~llath less
than a year ago. And finally, the
present -state-wide movement is es-.
sentially an educational mnovement, in-
which all educated men and women of
the future will have a part and a
stake.
By way of co-operating with the
*"Health First" party of the State
Board of Health during the three1
