w. F. KEoHAN, acting director of
the Liberty Loan Publicity Bureau, has
assured the press Of the country. in
GLIDING The Tribune, that the great
success with which the first issue Of
liberty loan bonds met, was due in large
measure to the splendid work of the
patriotic newspapers of America. In
face of this recognized fact by gov
eminent official, together with various
other similar patriotic acts on the part
of American newspapers, congress has
singled out newspaper publishers for
special tax on business transacted How
does it look to you, Mr.. Reader? Sup
pose all loyal newspapers were to sus-

the politicians propose putting on, next

Germany's war debt. Well, if there
are any ambitious candidates who want
to run on q eopperhead platform, prob
ably they will have the opportunity,
providing they can get enough signers
to their nomination papers, but if they
want to know how far they can get on

workers, but are ready to proceed to
any deeds of violence, murder not eX-

their deviltry may be mentioned an
effort to send men into North Dakota

a bright sun, which is mitigating some

morass-like ground. Active artillery
fire marked the night in the region to

The British big guns have never

responded vigorously. Last night the
Germans directed a heavy fire against

Say Austrians Killed
Women and Children

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Dispatches
from Rome to-day gave further de-
tails of the atrocities committed
against Italian prisoners in Austria.
Two inhabitants Of Friuli who es-
caped from the concentration camp at
Katsonau have arrived at Udine. They
say an Austrian corporal insulted an
Italian prisoner, and then, without
cause, killed him.
Another prisoner, moved by hunger,
stole a turnip. An Austrian corporal
stabbed him with bayonet, severlng
an artery and several tendons.
Italian prisoners are also sent 10
the front to dig trenches.
A letter written by an Italian prlsI
oner in diary form says the most
atrocious crimes are committed by the
Austrian soldiers. On April II seven.
teen-year-old Austrian recruits hred
on women and children who had gath
cred before the district captains

killed and $50 wounded.

is this central body which is scheduled
TO meet on November 2. IL is on IT
that the Bolsheviki build all their
homes. Trotzky expects TO dominate it
and use il as an instrument in his anti
government designs.
Trotzky and his lieutenants demon
stratively left the sitting of the Pre-
liminary Parliament few days ago
They did it in order to emphasize the
Maximalist claim that the parliament
was not representative of the democ-
racy. As a matter of fact, the "parlia-
ment" is the fairest possible approach
to a genuine parliament. 1t is over
whelmingly opposed to the Bolsheviki'
So is the Russian nation.
kerensky's Overthrow His Aim
Trotzky is plainly aiming at the
overthrow of Kerensky and the set
ting up of Bolsheviki government
lie thinks he can accomplish il through
the central council of the Workmen's
and Soldiers Deputies. This council
if captured by the Bolsheviki, would
/ issue direct challenge to the Prelimi-
nary Parliament and the Provisional
Government. The spectre of civil war
would again hover over Russia.
However, it is by no means likely
that the central council would follow
Trotzky and the fanatical Maximalists.
1t may turn against the extremists,
even as the democratic congress did, and
disappoint them in their hopes. Also,
Kerensky may, finally take action
against the Petrograd Maximaiists.
With the backing of the Preliminary
Parliament, he may delegate Trotzky
and his sinister accomplices to Jail and
deal vital if not fatal blow to Boil
shevikism.

Most of the prisoners taken. who last
night numbered approximately 5000.
while others were still pouring out or

was led out to surrender by German
soldier who spoke French and who as
sured his comrades that they need not
fear bad treatment from their captors'
despite the assertions currently made
to them by their officers that the French
massacred prisoners.
Another batch of prisoners fell into
the hands of the French just as they
alighted from motor trucks. IN which
they had been hurried TO the battlefield

The losses of the Germans were ex-
tremely heavy, as was testified to by
the heaps of dead round beneath the
ruins of quarries, which crumbled under
the French bombardment. The French
casualties were rather below normal.
