DEMONSTRATIONS
FOR FREEDOM OF
ITALY IN AUSTRIA

Milan. Oct. 4, Via Paris, Oct. 5, $40
A. MA great meeting was held here
tonight and before large and enthus-
iastic crowd, Signor Battisti, a Social
list deputy from Trent. Austria, made
a speech in which he said that he was
much touched by the imposing demon
stration. He could only say. as son
of Trent, that it was awaiting liberia
ton by the Italian brothers.
THE liberation of Trent and Triest,
he said, means the accomplishment
of duty left as a heritage by the
great makers of the fatherland."
The enthusiastic crowd, following
the speech, paraded the streets and
the attempts of the police and cara
bineers to restrain the people were in
vain. At the Montenegro consulate
the crowd made a manifestation of
sympathy and then marched to the
monument of Garibaldi, where other
orators delivered fiery speeches.

The lyceum Course

That the Gardiner Lyeeum course as
presented at the Highland Ave. Methodist
church is to be winner was amply at
tested on Monday evening when the AL
exander- Milton Co. presented an excel
lent program that proved highly salts
factory to a large audience. That but
two people could entertain during the
wholee vening with such widely varied
program is scarcely short of marvellous.
Helen Reed Alexander is certainly in the
first rank of the harpists of the country.
Florence Wood Milton is the possessor
of pure contralto voice marvellous in
both quality of tone and range. Her rem
ditions from the works of old masters
and modern composers showed true
conception and mastery of the powers
of the voice. AS a reader she also appeal
ed to the audience in both humorous and
pathetic selections. Her dialect numbers
were especially fine. Truly the course is
worthy of large patronage.

INVASION OF HUNGARY
HAS TWO OBJECTS

Rome, Via Paris. Oct. 5, us A. NJ
News from Russian headquarters says
that the invasion of Hungary through
the Carpathians has two objects. The
first is to insure the left flank of the
Russian army operating against
Przemysl and along the San river,
and the second to open new field or
action in the vast Hungarian plains,
where it can brighten the population,
disturb the drilling of Hungarian re-
servists and recruits and cut the rail-
way communications, besides freely
feeding an importation of the army
from the resources of the country. 1t
is recalled that during the Russo
Turkish war of 1877 an expedition
commanded by Gen. Gourko and most
ly composed of cavalry did the same
thing, crossing the Balkan mountains
and entering eastern Roumania.

General Won Kluck. the commander of

For the past week, the Germans so
far as can be ascertained from the
few facts known in London, have been
vainly hurting themselves against dill
ferent points in the allied lines in an
effort to discover weak mesh in the
chain. At the present time, in the
vie of General Joffre. commander-in-
chief Of the French forces, the process
of attrition has gone far enough to
justify the resumption of offensive
movements on the part of the allies
as is announced in the latest COM
munication from French headquarters.
Apparently the intent now is to at
tempt something decisive against the
German right wing and if possible
bring to an end this contest which for
magnitude and stubbornness is with
out precedent in history.
The series of highlands stretching
north and south along the allied left
are the master keys of the battle and
a considerable force from overseas
and elsewhere has been pushed up
to secure control of them.

already have been captured but the
