TOOTH OF PASUBIO"
HELD BY ITALIANS
Austrians Recapture Position,
but Are Driven Out

Paris, Oct. 1o.-"The Tooth OF
Pasubio," powerful redoubt taken
yesterday By the Italians, has changed
hands twice in savage fighting during
the last twenty-four hours. To-nights
statement from Rome says:
"On Monte Pasubio there were al
most incessant attacks and counter at
tacks, with extremely violent lombard
ments. Yesterday morning the enemy
succeeded in breaking into the redoubt
on the Tooth OF Pasubio,' but was
promptly driven out after n hand-to-
hand struggle. About 100 prisoners,
including nine officers, were taken. We
also captured one gun and one
howitzcr"
The Austrian statement says:
THE combats in the Pasubio district
were resumed with increased violence.
A brigade of Italian troops, reinforced
by Alpini, attacked our positions north
Of the summit. At several places the
enemy penetrated our front line. but 1t
was reconquered completely by the gal

SOLDIERS PREDICT
YEARS FIGHTING
British Chiefs and German
Prisoners See End
Next Fall


British Front in France, Oct. 19.--
The war will last another year. That
is the concensus among the British
soldiers and their leaders. II is also
the opinion of the Germans, II the
views of prisoners count for anything.
Before the grand offensive started a
high authority informed the corre-
spondent that the German line would
not be broken this summer and that
slow operations. wearing down the Ger
mans, would be insugurated and prob
ably would last through another sum
mer.
With the approach of winter condi-
tions. which make military movements
difficult, this officer recalled his pre-
diction, and speaking OF the situation
to-day he said:
1--WE know what the German re
sources were and what ours were, and
the time required TO force decisive
victory for our arms is a matter OF
calculation"
German prisoners taken during the
summer invariably spoke Of peace be-
ing a certainty in the autumn. They
regarded the Somme thrust as final
effort OF the Allies for decision, and
that after IL peace would be made
Their tone has been entirely different
of late. They recognize that it Is q
fight to a finish between the man power
and resources Of the two foes and that
an ultimate decision will come from
the fearful attrition on the Western
front, which now will know no inter
mission until the end.
The Germans are determined TO make
every village on the Western front a
fortress which will yield only wher
reduced to powder by shell fire and
every gully and crater a machine CUR
post to secure their defensive against
critical defeat.
At a period when the weather is ad
verse to offensive operations elsewhere
the Germans are apparently concen'
trating every possible man and gun
against Rumania. The view of the
British officers is that the Germans
hope to crush Rumania, so that when
they have 10 face common Allied Of
fensive in the spring they may not
have to defend the immense length OF
the Rumanian frontier in addition "a
what they have had TO defend this
summer.

WOODS PRAISES COHEN,
BUT REDUCES HIS RANK
Police Inspector Who Handled
Strike Made Captain

Police Commissioner Woods ysster-
day added another to the long list OF
surprises he has given the members of
his department by announcing that he
had reduced Inspector Henry Cohen,
temporarily attached to the Central
Office Squad, to captaincy.
Rather than having any complaint
with Inspector Cohen's work, | find him
invaluable" the Commissioner said, in
explaining the reduction: "He has,
however, been in charge of the depart
ment's preparedness plans, and this has
kept him at Headquarters doing clerical
work. Frankly, did not feel justified
in keeping an inspector on such work,
leaving his district open or under an
acting inspector"
Cohen will stay at Headquarters. His
salary will be reduced from $500 to
$3.50 a year.

London. Oct. 19.-Slowly the French
grip is closing on Peronne from the
south Foch's troops continued their
progress to-day between Biaches and
La Maisonette, south of the Somme
thus driving further eastward the
wedge that ultimately will outfank
Pcronne.
Against Sally the Germans at

the French beat these off without
great trouble and consolidated their
gains. Berlin to-day admits that the
enemy made progress in this sector
On the British front activity has
been confined mainly TO trench raids
and artillery FIRE. for the weather
again rules the battlefield north of the
Somme and large actions are impos-
sible. There are many indications
however. of a resumption Of Haig
offensive.
The French capture Of Sally will
aid greatly the British advance on lie
Transloy. The heights north Of Sally
were defended by many machine guns
which hampered the action of the Brit
ish troops endeavoring to move toward
the Bethune road.
Another advantage that accrues with
the seizure of Sally is the valuable
ground won, from which the French
can cooperate easily with British
advance. 1t also enables Foch's troops
to pocket st. Pierre Vast wood, for
the advance beyond Rancourt out
flanked this important position on the
south.
Both armies are now in position To
renew the joint offensive. As soon as
the weather clears this undoubtedly
will be started. The immediate OBJ
joctive is the capture Of the rest OF
the Bethune road south of Bapaume
This would put the Allied troops well
beyond Bapaume and so enable them
TO attack the German stronghold on
the flank

Self from Window

Reaching home from school yester-
day, Earl Hackenberry, ten years old
saw a woman standing in the fourth
floor hallway Of the apartment house
in which he lives, at 1851 Presiden,
Street, Brooklyn.
"Run along. little boy" she said
"and don't tell any one you saw me-"
The first thing Earl did was to tell
his mother. She stepped into the hall
just in time to see the woman leap
from window.
She was Mrs. Alice Searle, of 1887
Carroll Street. whose husband, George
H., Is a cotton broker. and head Of the
Cotton Exchange firm bearing his
name. She was forty years old and
had been in poor health. The leap
killed her.

NANTUCKET RAIDS
TO BE RENEWED
Berlin Expects "Sharper''
Campaign if Britain
Arms All Ships

Berlin, Oct. 19.-More submarine at
tacks in the steamship lanes off Nan
tucket are predicted By the "Volks-
zeitung" of Cologne.
German submarines will operate in
the future in the western Atlantic,
saws the "Volkszeitung." They will
visit the we'll known shipping routes
around the eastern point Of Nantucket
Island, and will sink British merchant
men after giving the crews opportunity
TO save themselves"
The newspaper believes this activity
will influence the supplying OF food'
especially grain, bacon and lard to Eng
land.
The "Kriegszeitung" reports that the
British have ordered the arming OF all
merchantmen, and says that Germany
may be forced to take up sharper
submarine campaign, with consequent
enlargement Of German-American re-
lations. 1t continues: 81
ar il Is true that England actually
intends TO arm all its merchantmen
with heavy and therefore far-carrying
guns and thus label them plainly as
warships intended for attack, whether
we wish 10 or not we must give
sharper tendency TO our submarine
campaign" ,,..s
The newspaper declares its belief
that America will not tie its own navy $
hands by establishing important prece-
dents against undersea attacks.
at is probable" the paper adds,
chat If we desire to adapt our method
of warfare to the situation created by
the arming Of British merchantmen we
shall have to 20 over carefully with
the government of the United states
ali the possibilities OF the newly Great
ed situation. For we may accept this
much as now certain: Aside from q fe"
LIMOGES and shouters who would IN
volve America in the war at any price,
the American people would dislike
most greatly to have the submarine
question lead TO a new dispute between
Germany and America

Progressive party leaders, last night
said: I'VE do not fear America, but we
value the keeping up OF good relations

BLAMES GOLD IMPORTS
FOR HIGH FOOD PRICES
Mint Director Shows Excess of
Exports Boosts Living Cost

Washington, Oct. 19.-Gold pourins
in from abroad, in payment for war
orders and other exports, is to blame
for the present alarming increase in
the cost of living, according to Oi-
rector of the Mint Won Engleksn. The
advance in prices OF virtually every
thing results, he says, from the pres
ent prosperity, founded on tremendous
exports with reduced imports, caused
by the war In Europe.
Mr.. Won Engleken explains that huge
exports without corresponding imports
result in a large amount Of gold being
brought TO this country in paymnnt
for the excess Of exports over imports.
With so much goods shipped abroad
and 80 little brought in there is a
smaller supply for domestic conSump-
tion, so prices are forced up More
workers than heretofore are employed,
many at much higher wages. These
big wages boost the domestic demand
for goods, and so help to increase
prices.
In the last two years 500, 1000, 900
in gold over the usual importations
has poured into the United States.

BREMEN IS LOST,
TEUTONS CONCEDE
Berlin Knows Nothing of
Submarines Fate-Due
Here Month Ago

Washington, Oct. 19.-Loss II the
German submarine merchantmen Bre'
men virtually was conceded to-day by
ranking Teutonic diplomats in posi-
ton to be familiar with the move
ments OF the vessel. The Bremen IS
now one month overdue.
It was admitted that German OFF,
Gals. not only in this country but in
Berlin, were without information as
TO the fate Of the Bremen. All they
know is that she set out for America
from Bremerhayen and that she should
have arrived at an American por; soon
after the middle of last month. 1t is
regarded as doubtful that accurate m
formation concerning the fate of the
vessel will be available until after the
close of the war, If then.
The disappearance OF the Bremen
will not cause abandonment o the
project to send merchant submarines
regularly from Germany to the United
States, it was said. There appeared 10
be reason to expect that another Sub
sea freighter, either the Deutschland
or some other, would reach an Amer
lean port some time within the next
month.
German officials in Washington do
not believe the Bremen could have
fallen into the hands Of the British
unless she had some accident to her
machinery. They pointed out that,
unlike naval submarines, merchant
submarines avoid all localities fire.
quented by shipping and therefore are
not open 10 the same risks.
One official said IL was considere
most likely that the Bremen Fad met
the fate of a number Of naval sub
marines which had sailed from port
never 10 he heard from again. These
vessels have disappeared completely
and none OF the members of their
crews has been reported as being in
detention camps of the Entente Allies.
1t is presumed that :hey had some
accident which caused them to sink or
had a mishap while diving which pre-
vented them from coming TO the sur
face.
Another argument advanced in sup
port of the belief that the Bremen had
met with an accident rather chan
capture was that she had aboard a
number of important documents for
the German Embassy here which prob
ably would have been made public had
they fallen into the hands Of the
British.

BELGIAN RELIEF
People Forced to Work
for Army - Entente
May Stop Aid

London, Oct. 19.-There is strong
feeling here that the Entente govern
ments should stop the imports of the
American Commission for Relief in
Belgium as a result OF an order OF
Quartermaster General Won Sauber-
zweie that all Belgians must work for
the Germans. Should such situation
develop the food supply OF 100000
persons would be threatened.
According to the Amsterdam Tele--
graf" information has been received
from the frontier that the order al
ready is being put into effect. In adj
dition to deporting 1000 civilians from
Client similar action, 1t Is said, IS
being taken in other parts of Belgium:
The newspaper states that General
Won sauberzweig has announced that
all persons able TO work may be forced
10 do so. even outside Of the villages
in which they reside, if they are COM
pelled 10 accept relief from others
owing 10 gambling, drunkenness, lazi-
ness or lack OF employment. Further
more. any inhabitant NAV be compelled
to give assistance In case Of accident,
danger, emergency or public disaster
even outside the community in which
he lives.
ANY one who refuses 70 work, the
Telegram" says. is liable to impris
onment for three years or fine OF
10000 marks.
IL is contended here that, leaving aside
the question of whether the order Is in
violation of the convention OF The
Hague. it is hardly reasonable to ex.
pect the Entente powers to find and
pay for food which the commission
distributes in Belgium whom they are
placed in the position Of feeding at
their own expense persons who are
working for the German army.
Aside from this, however, 1t is

SONINE ATTACK
SAVING RUMANIA
Gen. Maurice Says Drive
Has No Objective Except
to Wear Out Foe
Try Gable To The Trioned

London, Oct. 19.--The terrific strain
to which German resources are being
put on the Somme is the chief purpose
Of the Allied drive, The Tribune cor
respondent was told to-day by General
+. B. Maurice, Director of Military
Operations.
1--WE have no particular geograph-
ical objective" declared General Maur-
ice. at matters little whether we
take a place like Peronne, which Is
now nothing more than a geographical
term.
Germany has been compelled 20
keep five-eighths Of her 200 divisions
(about 100000 mem upon the West
ern front. Our object is to sustain
an unremitting pressure upon them.
May Break Through.
"If they dare to take the risk Of
transferring men from the west TO
other fronts then we are likely to
break through. an outcome for which
we are entirely prepared. We hope
for this-but we scarcely expect the
Germans to loosen up here, knowing
the importance they attach TO the
West.
Even If the present state of affairs
continues, we know we are wearing
the Germans out, merely from the
way they are having to chop and
change their divisions on the front
line.
"The best example of this is the
moral collapse Of the troops oppos-
ing US in the great assault of Septem-
Der 25. Several times previously these
men had put up a great fight, but this
time they caved in. The diminution
in the vigor of the German counter
attacks during the last two months -
exceedingly remarkable.
Furthermore, the Somme fighting
undoubtedly is holding up the Ger
man attack on Rumania. If the Rumani-
ans are properly led we see no rea-
son to doubt that they will repel all
the enemy's attacks.
Regarding the immediate advance
on the Somme, the French now hold
high ground dominating the surround
ing country. but it is doubtful
whether they will attempt, for the
time being, to clear out the wood OF
81. Pierre Vast.
wood fighting these days is terri
bly, difficult and expensive in lives. es-
pecially where previous artillery at
tacks have felled the trees in all di-
rectiOns. 1t is not our policy now TO
force such places unless absolutely
obliged to do so, as the British were
at Mametz Wood.
at is likely that the next stage Of
the British attack will carry then.
TO Grevilliers, which is on dominating
high ground but again I want to en-
phssize the fact that the mere TAX
ing of villages matters little in the
general scheme. It is the total. in
cessant pressure of the attack which
tells.
"As far as the winter campaign is
concerned. there is no reason why the
fighting should not continue almost
normally, except that our present ter
rain gives little opportunity for dig
ging in. The great consideration for
a commander having a vast number
/ Of troops in an open country in win

Fighting on West Front
as Told by War Offices

Berlin, Oct. 19.-To-dGg's official
report says:
Army group of Prince Rupprecht-
North Of the Somme yesterday was
again a day of successful fighting in d
battle Of great magnitude. In the
course Of a heavy engagement a fresh
attempt was made by the British TO
break through between lie Sars and
Morval. The enemy attacks, which
were continued from daybreak until
noon against our stubbornly defendod
positions on this front. partly failed
under our heavy and we'll directed ar
tillery fire. Our positions either were
held as q result Of hand to hand fight
ing or were recaptured by counter
attacks.
Unimportant territorial gains made
by the British north of Eaucourt Fab
bave and Gueudecourt and by the
French in Sailly-Saillisel and on the
southern bank of the Somme, between
of an attack made during the evening,
were no compensation for the heavy
and sanguinary losses suffered by the
enemy.
London, oct. 19.-To-ri9hts off,
ci0l report says:
Rain fell heavily all morning. We
have slightly advanced our line at
Butte de Warlencourt. An enemy
counter attack in that neighborhood
was stopped by our barrage.
The afternoon report says:
Rain fell heavily during the night.

near Loos and south Of Arras.
Paris, Oct. 19.-To-ddys official
report says:
North of the Somme our troops or
ganized during the night the village
Of Sailly-Saillisel and consolidated the
conquered positions around this place.
Some German counter attacks were
broken by our curtain of fire and all
our gains were maintained.
South of the Somme we made fresh
progress between La Maisonette and
Biaches. In Lorraine an enemy sur
prise attack on our trenches near
Bures, northeast of Luneville, was re-
pulsed easily.
To-night'S official report says:
North of the Somme the Germans
at p. m. made a vain attempt TO
attack our lines north and east Of
| Sailly-Saillisel. Our artillery fire broke
up the waves Of the attack at the out
/ set and inflicted considerable loss on
the enemy.
South Of the Somme we made fresh
progress during the day between
Biaches and La Maisonnette.
