FIGHTING WITH KNIVES.
ZURICH, Switzerland, Nov. 22.-
Fighting at the point Of bayonets and
even with knives, the Italians and
Austrians are engaged literally In a
hand TO hand struggle for the Dober-
do plateau.
FuIlssades Of grenades begin the
Italian charges, but before these
struggles are over, the men are al
most Invariably gripped body to body,
stabblna and slashing for their lives.
These reports Of ferocious fighting
como from Swiss correspondents to-
day.
The struggle centers about the Cor
itz bridgehead.
In their determination to take the
town, the Italians are literally delug-
Ina tho Austrians' bank OF the river
with artillery fire.
Tho bomhardment Is incessant. It
has been In progress for weeks and
pauses neither day nor night.
Italian infantry charges occur daily
often several times In single day,
despite the terrible weather condi-
tions.
The rushes are made few yards
at a time. Having made dash, the
men throw up improvIsed defenses OF
sand baas and pour n1urderous VOL
leys into tho Austrian ranks while the
Italian artillery, firing over the foot
soldiers heads, clear tho way for
fresh charge.
In this way, charge after charge is
made, a fresh Italian line dashins
forward az often as the line ahead
has made fresh rush.
So uninterruptedly has the attack
been pushed and 30 remorseless Its
character, that the Austrians have
had no rest. Their artillerymen are
kept at their guns until they fall from
exhaustion. Tho infantry 10 never

Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.):
A d1spassionate review of the work
OF the Sixty-third congress brings lit
tie to congratulate the people of the
United States upon and much to con
denim that body for. It's sins of omis-
sion and commission were many; it's
works, in advancement of the inter
ests of the people and of the nation,
few and far between. Brought into ex-
1stence upon the summit of a wave of
progressive reform; given power I'D
on promises plainly and definitely ex-
pressed, it demonstrated incapacity
from the beginning and deliberately
repudlated in numerous instances poll
cles and principles it was elected to
promote and maintain. It produced q
tariff law that fails to secure the reye
nues needed for sound administration
OF the countrys affairs, and it enacted
a levy for taxes in time of profound
peace. Need we go farther than this
as an evidence Of it's weakness, inca
paclty and failure to grasp the REQUIRE
ments of the republic?"
No, unless you would call the atten
ton OF the country to the mistreat-
ments of the loyal old soldiers and
AFRO: americans in the departments at
washington, D. c., and elsewhere in
the federal service, at home and
abroad; and the patronizing, in every
way, OF former traitors, ex-Confeder-
ates' by the Wilson administration

OUR NEED OF JUxTAPOSiTION.

That we much rather be, and asso
clate among ourselves, is a saying by
ColOred Americans that has become
almost trite. That is mistake; it
is feeling of avowed cowardice and
innate inferiority. It is an utter i'm
possibilitay for the two races to sub
scribe to common government, and,
at the same time, each race work out
It's own salvation. The theory" has
been tried and resulted into a CHASTITY
failure; instead of making for har.
mony and cordial good feeling be.
tween two races, it has increased
race hatred anu antagonism in leaps
and bounds. We have needed too
long the advice from false and treach-
erous leadership that resistance is
wrong, that it only breeds race hat
red and antagonism; that the thing
for us to do is to get property and
other rights will inevitably follow.
We have followed this "advice" faith
fully and have been rewarded in
terms of residence segregation, street
segregation, contiscation and loss of
property, anti-intermarriage is
all of the blacklist pieces of legis.
lation, since that it leaves our women
defenseless and at the mercy of white
brutes - separate schools, jimcrow
cars, and even legislating to exclude
further Negro immigration. These
are the evils resulting from mon
resistance" and rather be by our
selves" That with the same degree
of effontry and terrible legislation
with which our property is taken and
confiscated, with this same effontry
and legislation will our political and
manhood rights be taken from us.
That is fact. Every congress of.
fers legislation degrading and mimi.
cal to our we'll being. Race preju.
dice, therefore, can only be worn down
by attrition. We must send our
children, and go ourselves. to mixed
institutions and other places where
we can mix with the other races and
consequently become accustomed to
one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS
WE MUST WELCOME AND PRAC-
T1CE JUXTAPOSITION.
