Carso plateau was crowned by a bril-
liant success yesterday. Long deep
trenches between fourth summit OF
Monte San Michele and the church of
San MARITIME were stormed, the de-
tenders surrounded and a large part
of them taken prisoner. The enemy
Immediately deluged the lost positions
with shells of all caIibers and behind
a curtain of fire massed important
forces for counter-attack opposite
of San MARITIME.
while our infantry held firmly
their positions exposed on all sides
our batteries with rapidity and pre-
cision concentrated a quick, well-di-
rected fire on the enemy columns and
dispersed them.
Five hundred and fourteen pris-
oners, many of them officers, fell into
quantities of provisions, munitions and
war materials.
Enemy aeroplanes dropped bombs
on Arsiefo, where no damage was
done, and on Ala, where four soldiers
were wounded. One of our air
squadrons bombarded the aviation
camp at Assevizza, another camp being
made at AiduSSina, and railroad sta
tions at Vagersko, Aidussina, Reifen-
berg, and San Daniels. Our aeroplanes,
which were fired upon as usual by

Big SUICIDE INCREASE
More People Kill Themselves in West
Than in the East.

New York Nov. 25.-The proper
ton of suicides to the population in
100 cities in this country last year
was higher than for any year since
1909, according to f. L. Hoffman,
statistician for the Prudential Insur-
ance company. Mr.. Hoffman's report
shows that 1882 persons killed them
selves. This is at the rate of 20.3 for
each 100000 of population.
The figures indicate that in proper
ton to population suicide is more fire.
quent on the Pacific coast than in
the east San Francisco heads the
list with 234 suicides and a rate of
SPA while San Diego, Sacra
Los Angeles and Oakland follow.
In all these cities Mr.. Hoffman re-
ports the rate for 1914 was in excess
of that for the previous ten years
The New York boroughs of Man
haitian and the Bronx with 61S sui
cides have a rate of 20.2 while Brook
lyn's rate is 1926. Figures for the
entire city are not recorded. The
low rate is attributed in part to the
law prohibiting the carrying of fire
arms Mr.. Hoffman says that the
laws governing the sale of poison
seem not to be properly enforced in
many communities.
There are as many women as men
who commit suicide the figures show.

London, Nov. 25.-Although the

Greece differ in marked degree from

Serbs Retreat Toward Albania
In the ensuing battle the Serbians
are reported to have been unable to

they are now said to be in retreat to-

New York, Nov. 25.-More than
5000 Thanksgiving day dinners were
served to the inmates of public insti-

to the poor by charitable organiza-

Owing to the belief that there is
less distress among the poor this year
than for several years, some of the
large charitable organizations discon-
tinued their customary giving of large
dinners.

BUY STOLEN WHEAT
Charge Is Made Against Merchants by
H. e. Gaines.

That a number of North Topeka
grocerymen and feed men are buying
stolen Union Pacific wheat from a
gang of boys who make a business of
looting Union Pacific grain cars, is
the contention of H. E. Gaines, Union
Pacific special agent.
Gaines says the boys have been
plying their trade for some time.
They bore a hole in the cars or pry
off a board and fill sack with wheat.
Gaines names three North Topeka
merchants who he says can be proven
to be buying the wheat.
He promises trouble for the men if
the practice continues.

IT STANDS ALONE.
LindsbOrg Celebrates Thanks
giving Day in Unique Way.
Six Hundred Persons Sit Down
to a Community Dinner.

Lindsborg, Kan, Nov. 25.-After
the fashion of the New Englanders
of the early days citizens of this city
and many farmers from the sur
rounding country gathered here to-
day to celebrate the third annual
community Thanksgiving dinner.
The spacious auditorium of Beth
any. college was crowded this after
noon with Mcpherson county people
who gave thanks in a most unique
way. In this manner of keeping the
day Lindsborg stands alone. There is
no other town in the state that cele-
brates the day with a big community
dinner such as the one held here to-
day.
1t was an imposing sight when this
group of people sat down to tables in
the school auditorium to give thanks
for all the good things in Lindsborg
and Mcpherson county. President z.
F. Philblad, of the college, sat at the
head of the table and presided over a
dinner-one of those real dinners
cooked by the ladies of the Kansas
club of the city. There was turkey
and all the trimmings.
Every bit of food served was donat-
ed by the merchants and farmers and
there was bountiful supply. Fam
lily groups were everywhere and there
was every evidence of much thank
fulneSS.
After the dinner, which was served
at o'clock. there was a musical pro-
gram given by the college orchestra
and some of the college singers.
Speeches were made in behalf of the
college endowment fund which is now
attracting much attention in this coun-
ty The college authorities are striv
ing for a 100000 endowment and now
have $136,00O of the amount.
The community dinner today was
the most successful ever held in Linds-
borg.
