AUSTRIA

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service,1
VIENNA, (via Berlin and London)
Nov. 30.--Austria has launched a tre-
mendous campaign against Monte
negro. The offensive undertaken by
the Austrian forces along me Monte
negrir northern frontier early in No
vember was on small scale, design
ed only to check flank attacks on the
troops engaged in the drive into Ser
bia from viceorad, the war office ex-
planned today.
Northern Serbia having been sub
dued, 1t Is declared officially that
Montenegro is to completely over-run.
Operations began on the mountain
Kingdoms northeastern frontier, from
the oanjak Of Ncvlbazar. The Aus
tro-Hunsarian forces are reported at
ready across the river Lin, which
parallels the frontier about ten miles
to eastward In the Sanjak. The bor-
der Is marked by rugged mountain
chain between the Lin and the cheb-
otlna. In this natural fastness the
Montenesrins are strongly cntrenched
and 1t is recognized that II will take
desperate fighting to dislodge them.
Heavy guns are being brought up as
rapidly as the country's natural diff
culties permit and the defiIes' defend
ers will be systematically sheIled
from their positions, trench by trench,
enabling the Austrians to advance in
| the path Of their own artillery fire
with minimum Of short range en-
counters.
| The weather In the mountains is al
| ready terrible. The defiies are deep In
snow drifts, the rocks are Ice coated
and fierce billiards sweep the region.
| The Teutonic view is, however, that
the Montenegrins are not SO well pre-
pared and will suffer more from win
tor campaigning than will the Austri-
ans. There will be no suspension Of
the Invasion, therefore, on account
Of the weather.
"We have crossed tho MetaIka
ridge In northeastern Montenegro, =
said today's official report, and an
| Austrian detachment Is operating
! south Of PriboJ.
fSuigarian froops are pursuing
the Serbs In the direction Of PrIs
| rend."
ATTACKS ALWAYS FAILED.
BERLIN, (vla SayvlIle wireless)
Nov. ao.-Heavy reInforcements OF
the troops engaged in the attack on
Goritz has failed to win any ground
for the Italians, official Vienna dis
patches assert today.
"The fresh regiments repeatedly
tried to storm the bridgehead" says
the report, "but always failed"
APPALLING LOSSES.
BERLIN, (via Tuckerton wire!ese)
Nov. so.-AppaIling italian losses IN
Saturdays fighting on the Austrian
front are described in belated report
received here today from the Vienna
war office.
| Around Goritz the italian attacks
were SO fierce that they wrested from
the Austrians the summit northeast
of oslavla. The artillery fire which
the Austrians poured into the posi-.
tion, however, was 50 violent that the
italians were practically annihi'ated
and three trenches were reoained.
| Another terrific struggle occurred
on the road near Oslavia.
"The ground everywhere was COW
! cred with dead Italians" said the off,
ciaI report "The corpses numbered
more than 1000 near oslavia alone"
Italian repulses also occurred south
west Of San MARITIME and near "a.
aoram, PLAYA, ToImino bridgehead and
Mrzii, where 400 dead were left.

UNIQUE VENTURE
TO Be EMBARKED

peared Three Years Ago and For
Whom Parents Spent Small For

Ottumwa, April pa unique ven
ture to be embarked by the local re-
tail merchants association this week
is likely to make automobile public
conyeyances as great a menace to the
railroads as TO the street railways of
the state.
Next Saturday morning a seven
passenger touring car win make its
first trip between the little town of
Fremont, sixteen miles northwest Of
here, and Ottumwa. The fare will be
so cents per passenger.
Ii the plan is even moderately sue
cessful, and $500 of local business
mems money was raised last week to
assure its success. 1t is the associa,
tons intention 20 establish bus
routes between 0ttumwa and all of
the little tributary towns within a
radius of twenty miles. These are to
be operated not only on Saturday. but
every day except Sunday, as well.
There is not and never has been a
direct railroad route from Fremont to
this city. An auto can cover the dis
lance between the towns much more
quickly than one can make the trip
by train
But the chief factor in favor OF
auto bus patronage in preference to
railroad transportation win be the
