TRENTINO ORION; 1)EFFE NDlERS EXPRESS LITTLE ' FEAR AS COUNTRY IS E JMOUNTAINoU1S BERLIN FACES FOOD CRISIS Famtiliies Store up Food in ExpectationZ of :Ieg uation; Dealers Mtake Fortunes. 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. txerioaw, th1e British ['ostons Berlin, May 22.--Several lines ofm 'British positions on a front about one and one-third miles long have been; captured by the Germans -southwest of- (ive nchx-en-Gelbelle, it was announced' officially this afternoon.

German troops stormed French po- sitions on the eastern spur of Hill 304 on the Verdun front and maintained! them a-ainst repeated counter attacks which are said to have cost, the French gr-at l0sses.' 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. prod olci l<; .ee:s u h.. 2;lIe, 5 the - ;t of the' ma.im efn 'tm°, rodmu(, a h .:.140 per 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.
