London, Oct 27.-General Macken-
zen has massed 100000 of his German
troops about 20 miles from the Italian
border. holding them In the hope of
striking battering ram blow that will
pierce the Italian lines and force the
fighting on the italian plains.
According to this information which
reached here today, all these troops are
from the Russian front. To gather
them, Germany has had to strip all her
lines to the north, to retire at scores
OF places in order to construct the
battle fronts, leaving a bare skeleton

TO BOLSTER UP AUSTRIA.
Political and military reasons both
have apparently impelled the German
staff to it's efforts against Italy. First
of all, Berlin has been impressed of
late with the alarming loss of morale
in the Austrian army. That loss was
reflected at home in dropping spirits
and recurrence of nation wide move
ments for peace at any price.
The situation must have been and
may still be far more serious-from
the German post-than heavily CEN
sored reports from Austria have yet
hinted,' if it forced the German high
command to the offensive. The in
evitable loss of men and expenditure
of ammunition required is a high
price for Germany to pay in her ef-
fort to hearten her ally again. Ger
many is hard up for both men and am
munition now.
EFFECT ON ITALY.
Not only was the Italian offensive
seemingly planned to revive Austria s
military slump, but there is every evil
dence here that the Germans hope to
deepen Italian political differences
Every dispatch from Rome today en-
phasized that the drive was likely tc
have exactly the opposite effect.
The British press today admitted the
German campaign was fraught with
grave issues, but every confidence was
expressed in General Cadorna's ability
to withstand the drive. Official dis
patches indicated that the Withdrawal
from the Bainsizza plateau was being
effected In orderly fashion. The Ital-
ians in at least one place are now
fighting on their own soil endeavor-

FIRST SHOT FIRED.
With American Sammies fighting In
the trenches. side by side with French
poilus, a red headed artillery captain
and his husky gunners will share the
fame of firing the first shell sent by
an American battery in the fight for
democracy.
The captain gave the gunner a com
mand-the gunner jerked the lanyard
and Americas first shot against Ger
man autocracy screamed toward a Ger
man battery. 1t was precisely at
o'clock. The morning was a misty one,
SINGING AS THEY WENT.
The American infantry restlessly
waited during a certain day while the
American gunners were at their part
of the work. They remained in their
billets behind the lines until evening.
Then they swung through the rain
swept, muddy street of a tiny village,
their shadowy forms disappearing
down the road toward the trenches.
Some attempted to sing Tramp.
Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are March
ing" 1t was just starting when others
shouted:
Shut up! The Boches will hear
you!"
The silence fell-except for the
rumbling of the rolling kitchen that
kept pace with the soft shuttle of the
feet of the marching detachment.
SHELL CASE TO WILSON.
The shell case of the first shot fired
for America in the worlds greatest
war is enroute to President Wilson to-
day. Major General Sibert ordered
that 1t be preserved for him.
Just five civilians-all newspaper
correspondents witnessed the first
American troops marching to the
trenches.
