LONDON, Nov "A special corrs-
spondent of the Times at Italian army
headquarters telegraphs as follows:
Fridays operations In the drive on
Trieste, though less spectacular than
those OF tho previous two days. were OF
tactical importance because OF the occu-
patton Of tho lower hills between tho
wippach and tho northern rampant OF
the Carso plateau.
1.-THE advance OF the Eleventh corps
was extended 10 cover IA front of more
than three miles and the key position OF
Faiti Heyb was strengthened against
counter attack. In losing Fsiti Heyb
the Austrians lost tho key position 10
their line In this sector. An Austrian
colonel taken prisoner In the September
offensive said nothing mattered 80 long
as Faiu Heyb was held.
Its loss was certainly serious. The
point dominates Castognievisza on the
Carso and its network OF roads and the
main road from Ransian to the Carso
positions Possibilities even more Inn

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Editor Wilmington Morning News:
Sir-For some time l have been i'm
pressed with the very great Importance
and desirability of Delaware furnishing
a full regiment of soldiers to be sent to
the Mexican border, as a full regiment
would have many advantages that
would be denied to one or two batta-
lions. A full regiment would maintain
it's state designation, while one or two
bsttalions would be merged with other
battalions from another state, thereby
losing its designation as a Delaware
regiment.
feel convinced that if all good and
patriotic citizens throughout the state
would join heartily in this movement it
would be but short time before full
regiment would be recruited, and GER
tainly every patriotic Delawarean would
be glad to see full regiment leave the
state. ! am reminded that when the
Fourth Delaware Regiment of Volun-
teers was organized in 1862 full regi-
ment of one thousand men was recruited
throughout the state, practically during
the months of July and August, and at
the same time the First Delaware Bat
terry was recruited to its full strength,
commanded by Colonel Benjamin Nlelds,
and entered the field
Our regiment went into camp at
Brandywine Springs in September, and
this was done after the First, Second
and Third Delaware regiments had been
previously organized and sent to the
front. If at that time and under condl-
tions then existing full regiment Of
1000 men and the Delaware Battery
could be recruited in two months, GER
tainly one additional battalion can be
raised now in very short time and
thereby form a full regiment.
l therefore earnestly hope that all
good and patriotic citizens throughout
the state will put their shoulders to the
wheel and do all in their power to re-
cruit another battalion quickly and have
the proud satisfaction of knowing that
Delaware sends a full regiment of SOL
diers to Mexico. My son, James H.
Cause and my son-in-law, First Lieut..
Charles R. Jefferis, Jr., are both in
Company D of the Organized Militia
and if I were few years younger and
had my eyesight I would certainly have
Joined the force before this.
l am sending letters to other news
papers throughout the state, urging
their cooperation in the movement as
above outlined.
