ITALIAN ARMIES DRIVEN
FROM BAINSIZZA PLATEAU
German and Austrian Forces Are Fast
Developing Their Offensive-30,00o
Prisoners Claimed by Berlin.

London, Oct. 27.-The Austro- Ger
man armies on the Isonzo front are
fast developing their offensive against
General Cordona's forces. Already
the Italians ON the northern wing of
the front have been forced back at
several places across the Isonzo north
and south of Tolmino, where the battle
is waging on Italian territory.
To the south, the situation of the
Italians admittedly is precarious.
Even the Italian war office announces
that the evacuation of the Bainsizza-
Heiligengeist plateau is necessary-a
retirement which will render null in a
great measure the brilliant advance of
the Italians in the summer campaign.
Take 10000 Italians Prisoner.
Combined German and Austro-Hun-
garian forces up to the present are de-
clared by the Berlin war office to
have captured in excess of 10000 pris-
oners and more than 300 guns, and it
is stated that the figures hourly are
being augmented.
Many troops being used in the often
sive were recently removed from the
Russian front.

TEUTS SCORE ON WATER
BUT FARE BADLY IN AIR
Two British Destroyers and Nine
Merchantmen Sunk-Three Yep
peiins Destroyed, One Captured

London, Oct. 22.-Germany scored
on the water Saturday in the break
ing up of merchant convoy in the
North sea by raiding cruisers thai
sank two British destroyers and nine
of the II conveyed ships. She suf-
fered little less than disaster in the
air, however, when four Zeppelin air.
ships, returning from a raid on Eng
land, were brought down in French ter
ritory by airplanes and anti-aircraft
gunfire.
The sea tragedy cost the British the
lives of 135 officers and men on the
deStroyerS, who were left to their fate
by the German raiders.
About one hundred of the merchant
sailors, however reached the shore
in boats or on British patrol craft
All but three of the trading ships
were of Scandinavian nationality,
most of them apparently being small
vessels.
The character of the raiding war
ships is not exactly apparent. The
British admiralty describes them as
very last llcdNlls dlLHcu, Willie
Berlin, in it's report refers to them
as light sea fighting forces" They
escaped the vigilance of the British
guard ships under cover of darkness
both on their outward and homeward
trips.
The story of Germany's reverse in
the air began with the account of a
raid on England Friday night in which
the bombs the Zeppelins dropped kill
ed 81 persons and injured 80 others.
Reports soon began to be received,
however, of Zeppelins being brought
down in France. These were at first
to belong to an Independent
raiding fleet. Dispatches from France
late in the day, however. declared
them to be the raiders returning from
England. They had appeared over
French territory, it was stated, and
we're scattered to various parts of the
country as the alarm went out and the
French airmen rose in swarms to at
ack them.
Three of the Zeppelins were COM
,letely destroyed and one was captur- |
ID intact.

FRENCH TAKE A
WHACK At TEUTS
GERMAN LINE PUSHED BACK
MORE THAN TWO MILES
IN SOME PLACES
$500 PRISONERS CAPTURED
Blow Was One of SWiftest and Most
Dashing Yet Executed During
War.-Best German Troops
Flee in Disorder

London, Oct. 24.-While the allied
| troops were buSily engaged In con
solidating positions won Monday II
| Flanders. the French forces of Gen
eral Petain struck mighty blow
against the German line northeast OF
| Scissors Tuesday morning and made
some of the most important gains OF
terrain since they threw back the army
| of the German crown prince which
was besieging Verdun.
The stroke was made over front
of about six miles, from the east of
Vauxaillon to Pargny-Filain.
Under rainy and generally unfavor-
able weather conditions the French
pushed forward all along the line, aid
ed by audacious aviators who flew
over the German positions at an alti-
tude of $50 feet, using their machine
guns. and penetrated the German line
at one point to a depth of two and
one-fifth miles.
Numerous important positions fell
one by one into the hands of General
Petain's men and in addition more
than 1900 Germans, an enormous
amount of war material and % heavy
and field guns were captured.
Enemy FIees PelI Nell.
The greatest depth of the drive was
in the center of the line where the
village of Chavignon was captured aft
err violent struggle which resulted
in the enemy fleeing pell nell. Some
of the best troops in the army of the
German crown prince were engaged in
endeavoring to hold back the on
saught, but their efforts were I'M
availing under the enthusiasm of the
French to win positions which would
place them more advantageously to
press on later toward Laon.
For about Il week the French artil-
lery had been hurting tons of steel into
the German line in front of them in
for the drive and when it
was started sad havoc already had
been wrought by the guns. In addi-
ton to the prisoners taken by the
French. the Germans also suffered
heavy casualties.
Hold Gains in Flanders.
In Flanders both the British and
French troops are holding all the
gains made in Mondays drive north
east of Ypres, except at one place on
the southern fringe of the Houthlost |
forest, where the Germans in furious |
attack forced slight retire |
nent by the British.
The latest news concerning the |
naval activity in the Gulf of Riga be-
ween the Germans and the Russians
shows that although the Russians lost
he battleship Slava and a large tor
,edo boat destroyer, the Germans were
he heaviest losers. Two of their
lreadnaughts, one cruiser, II torpedo
,oats, on transport and numerous mine
weepers were put out of action by the
russian fleet While the exact fate
# these vessels has not been ascertain
d by the Petrograd government, it
S announced that at least six of the
,erman destroyers were sunk.
Further German attempts to land
orces on the Esthonia coast to the
orth of Werder have been repulsed
Y Russian detachments.
On the other fronts no important en-
agements are in progress.
