Put to Flight

With the American Army in
France, Friday, Nov. 16 - (By the
Associated Press) - The artillery
lighting in the sector held by AM
erican troops has become more lively
and there have been further casual
ties, shrapnel wounding some men in
the trenches.
An enemy shell hit an American
gun to-day and caused casualties.
Some of the men wounded in the last
two days have died.
The American batteries have been
firing rapidly in return. The
visibility is becoming better, and it
is considered certain that more
damage and casualties have been
caused in the German lines than the
Germans have inflicted on the Am
orleans.
Patrolling continued actively last
night.
The American troops witnessed
their first aerial encounter to-day.
Three enemy airplanes appeared
over head. Soon all of them except
one fled at the approach of five
French machines. One of the French
out-maneuvered this German and
got on his tail" The German
aviator then bolted. The rattle of
machine guns finally died away as
the two airplanes disappeared to the
west.
The French general commanding
the sector has mentioned in the dis
patches fifteen American officers and
soldiers, including three who were
killed, for excellent military quail
ties and for bravery displayed in the
recent trench raid. y note accom-
panying the citations says that be-
tween 5000 and 10000 shells were

Auguste ROdin, Famous
Sculptor, Dead at II

Paris. Nov. II. - Auguste Rodin,
the famous sculptor, is dead.
Auguste Rodin struggled fifty
years against poverty and abuse and
ridicule for his unconventional ideas
before he achieved undisputed cele-
brity as one of the most famous
sculptors of the world. Continuing
his work until past his seventy fifth
year. he had, however, notwithstand-
ing those early handicaps, still time
to enrich the world with innumerable
examples of his impressionistic, in
spirational works, which are priced
both in Europe and America.
Born in Paris in 1910, of wretch
edly poor parents, he was first heard
of in 1864. when. after a short time
spent in studying under Barge, he
sent his mask The Man With the
Broken Nose" to the Salon. AL
though this interesting head con-
tanned the germ of all that was great
in his later work, IL was refused, ana
his poverty obliged him to spend the
next six years in the drudgery of an
artists assistant.

From Lake Garda to the Adriatic
sea over the Asiago plateau and
down the Piave Valley, the Italians
are holding the Austro- G ermans in
check. Nowhere has the italian line
been penetrated for important gains,
although the enemy pressure is very
strong. Teutonic attacks have been
repulsed with heavy losses every
where in the mountainous region ex-
cept around Cismon, in the Sugana
Valley, northeast of Asiago.
The intense artillery duel con-
tinues along the Piave. The invad-
ers have been unable to make fur
ther crossings of the river. At the
rivers mouth the enemy advance has
been held up, # not stopped COM
pletely, through the Italian action IN
opening the fioodgates of the Piave
and Sile rivers, resulting in the inun-
dation of seventy square miles of
terrain. Attempts to cross the river
further north have been defeated by
the Italians. The Teutonic force
which crossed at Zanson is held on
the rivers bank by the Italians.
In the other war theaters there
has been no intensive fighting.
French attempt to cross the Ailette
river, southwest of Laon, Berlin re-
ports, was repulsed. The French
reached the northern bank of the
stream, but a German counterattack
threw them back to their original
position on the southern side.

RAUNICK WARNS
AGAINST TIPPING
ASH COLLECTORS
City Health Officer Asks That
HouSeholders Aid in Clean
ing Up the City

DR.. ]. NJ. J. Raunick, city health
officer, to-day declared that unless
householders stop giving tips to en-
ployes of the Pennsylvania Reduc-
ton Company there will be no COM
plete remedy for existing conditions.
DR.. Raunick, who has been author
lied by Council to Straighten out the
collection muddle. is doing his level
best to bring order out of chaos,
but he didn't hesitate to say to-day
that the tipping must stop.
The Telegraph printed a story this
week of how many of those en-
ployes are holding the people up for
extra compensation, positively re.us-
ing to remove their ashes and gar
bage unless they are paid extra to do
so. DR.. Raunick to-day said that in
one block where the men of the con-
tractors had covered a district, the
extra wagons of the city responding
TO complaints had themselves gath
cred a large truck load from prem-
ises which the regular contractors
had not even visited.
Strict inspection would probably
put a stop to the practice it was said
in city circles, however, it was gen.
orally conceded that il is up to the
people themselves to refuse to give
gratuities to men paid under city
contract.
DR.. Raunick to-day asked house
holders to report promptly to the
city health bureau Immediately any
case where the collectors refuse to
take away the refuse.
Overlooking garbage cans and tons
of ashes must lead inevitably, it was
pointed out. to an unwholesome and
unsanitary city. Prompt action now
will prevent more serious trouble
hereafter. Women, according to to-
days report, who have urged the
regular collectors to remove garbage
and ashes have frequently been in
suited as il is a common practice Of
these impudent employees to demand
a lunch and in the absence of a tip
TO leave the accumulated garbage
and ashes on the premises.
