HEAVY LOSSES

ITALIANS iNFLICT HEAVY
LOSSES
(ey Associated Press.)

Sanfiuinary battles continue in pro
gress in the Italian war theater where
the Teutonic allies are striving to
break through the hills leading to the
Venetian plains.
The Italians are seemingly holding
their own and, besides, are inflict-
ing heavy losses in the invaders.
ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS, Nov.
22.--The enemy is bringing forward
fresh masses of reserves as action
continues to proceed northeast toward
the Bellunc Alps.
Italian aviators who have flown
over the invaded districts of Venetia
say they saw lines of the civilian pop
ulation under guard, headed for Aus
ria.

The action GIBBS and flows around
the slopes of three low mountains
Just west OF the river-MOnte TOmba
Monte Monfenera and Monte COrnella
Monte Monfenera is just on the edge
of the river and it is here that some
of the most desperate fighting has oc-
Cured. 1t is the key to the situation
as at that point the river turns into
the Venetian plains and the whole dis
trict battle hinges on control of the
river passage leading to the plains.
Beginning with artillery prepara-
tions the Austro-Germans infantry ad-
vances came in successive waves, first
at the northernmost mOutain Cornell
la, where the Italians held the line
until crowded back by greatly superior
numbers. Te enemy then took po-
sitiOns back of the town OF Quero, and
violent artillery and infantry attacks
were centered on Monfera and Tomba.
The conduct of the Italian troops
s above all praise. They are con
esting every foot of the way, fighting
like tigers and with spirit and con-
fidence, even in the face of greatly
superior numbers.

PURPLE CROSS !.
ORGANIZED HERE.
NEW SOCIETY FOR APPROPRIATE
BURIAL OF SOLDIERS ES- Z.
TABLiSHES BRANCH HERE.

A society known as the Purple
Cross, which has been recently found
ed in the country, established its To-
cal branch here yesterday when Edo
Miller, the well-known undertaken
was empowered to organize the Glynn
county fraternity.
Speaker Champ Clark is the chief
national representative of the new Or
der, which has it's object the sacred
care of the American soldiers who
die or are killed in the service Of
the war
Closely following the appropriate
activities of the American Red rCoss
the deeper color of purple is adopted
to signify the cath of American SOL
diers and the carrying out of their
proper burial.
1t is naturally desired that all Amer
leans who dies abroad should be re-
turned 10 their native country for bur
ial and it is to such ultimate purpose
that the Purple Cross is founded.
The many horrors attending the
massed burial of troops who fall in
battle will be avoided so far as the
Purple Cross will be able to effect,
and every body of an American SOL
dier will be returned to his home with
out expense to his family or friends.
This information which was furn
ished by Mr.. Miller yesterday to 8
News representative should carry
considerable consolation to the homes
of the many Brunswick boys who are
now in the service of their country
