Police Provide Guards For
Residence of Archbish-
op Ireland
PRO-GERMAN IS
BLAMED FOR ACT
Revenge For Reading Of

half of War Activities

st. Paul. MINI. Nov. 5.-Guards
were placed about the residence Of
Archbishop Ireland and other Cath
olic leaders here today while police
investigated the explosion which
wrecked the parish house OF st.
Agnes church yesterday, The police
theory is that a pro-German was re-
sponsible for the explosion in re-
venge for the reading Of pastoral let
ters in behalf Of war activities. De-
tectives say that an expert in the
making of bombs prepared the one
which caused the explosion and that
dynamite rather than nitro-glycerine
was the explosive used. 1t was said
that threatening letters have been
received in the last eight months by
Father Anthony Oralin. the pastor Of
st. Agnes, whose parishioners are
largely Of German lineage.

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Saturday, Nov. 3.-(By The
Associated Press. "A naval bulletin
last night referred to intense activity
in the Gulf OF Triest. While atten-
ton is chiefly fixed on the two land
fronts. in Venetia and the Trentino,
yet authorities are not overlooking
the fact that the navy has a sea
front on the Adriatic which many ex-
perts believe is the key to the whole
situation in the Austro Italian war
theatre. +
This front has undergone 8. sweep
ing change as withdrawal of the
Italian army TO the new front west
OF the Tagliamento river brings the
enemy to a stretch of the upper
Adriatic along the Gulf of Triest from
Monfalcone to the mouth Of the
Tagliamento.
The Italian navy in the Adriatic.
under command of the Duke OF
Abruzzi, had brilliantly taken the
important naval port OF Grade and
its vast lagoon, giving occupation by
the Italian naval forces of the entire
gulf, twenty-five miles up to Monfal-
cone, whence they looked upon Trieste
as the great prize Of the Upper
Adriatic, only a few miles away.
present intense activity in this quar-
ter Of the upper Adriatic. Naval
authorities believe the entente would
do well to consider quickly the naval
possibilities of the Adriatic, as it is
maintained that it offers one of the
surest fields for the entente to deal
a decisive blow.
The basis for this is that Austria
cannot possibly receive naval rein
forcements from Germany as all sea
routes are controlled by the entente,
whereas those routes are open to the
entente to assemble a fleet that would
be able to reduce the Austrian fleet.
Once the Austrian fleet is destroy
ed, it is pointed out, Austrian
of the Adriatic will disap-
pear as the whole range Of the coast,
Including Trieste, would be under
control of the Italian and other
entente fleets.

1t is not too late to sign the food

This is the announcement which
has been dispatched to every worker
in the state, notifying clubs and
other organizations that an addi-
tional week or ten days has been
allotted to them by the state food
administration.
With only $4,000 pledge cards re-
ceived this morning, it was realized
by the food administration depart
ment that while the state has made
an excellent showing compared
with other commemorative, it is
hoped a better report can vet be
made and for this reason the time
has been extended.
North Dakota's quota was 10O, 1000.
It was thought last Saturday that
81, 900 signatures to conserve the
nations supply Of food would be re-
ceived when the campaign was sup
posed to close Sunday evening.
With many Of the larger cities
and the towns to report, the state

announcement this afternoon that
without cards should
wire or write the department, and
blanks would be sent Immediately.

CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 5.-American
troops Of the overseas expeditionary
forces have experienced their first
real clash with the enemy. In the
early dawn Of Saturday a German
raidIng party swept over the parapet
OF a trench occupied by an American
company, and after a brief hand-to-
hand encounter, retired to their own
earthwOrks with IL prisoners. Gener-
al Pershing's first dispatches. an
nounced at the war department early
today, reported that three Americans
were killed. FIVE wounded and twelve
captured in the engagement.
Protected by a heavy barrage fire
the Germans advanced across No
Mans Land and stormed the AmeFi-
can salient. Cut off from reinforce
ments by the rain Of German shells,
it is thought the defenders were
obliged to meet a force greatly su-
periOr in numbers. With the excep-
ton Of one German captured, moth
ing is known Of the extent Of the
enemy's losses. The first fragment
ary details made no mention Of the
location Of the fight. but Berlin dis

the section defended by the crown

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Sunday, Nov. 4.-(By The As
sociated Press. )-The situation is
still grave. Attention is now center
ed on the strength of the defenses
west Of the Tagiiamento river and on
the ability to effect the vast re-
organization and oppose the whole
force OF the concentration Of Italian
troops and allied reinforcements
against the tremendous pressure the
enemy is exerting.
All the allies should realize that
one Of the supreme trails OF the war
has reached the final stage.
First Clash With Germans.
Infantrymen of the American
overseas forces have had their hrst
clash with the Germans in a front
line trench position and three Amer
leans were killed. five wounded and
twelve vaptured. The Germanes at
tackled at daybreak on Nov. under
cover Of barrage fire which isolat-
ed a short salient occupied by
company OF Americans and appar-
emily left the little force at the
mercy Of their enemy.
That American troops receiving
intensive training in the trenches
have had their first fight with the
enemy was intimated on Saturday
in a cryptic official statement from
Berlin announcing the capture OF
North American" soldiers. Cable
dispatches from the American army
headquarters in France also served
TO prepare the American public for
the news Of the engagement through
that the artillery ac-
tiyity was somewhat above normal.

tense as on other parts OF the front.

THE RESULTS OF THE SECOND LIB.
ERTY LOAN DRIVE.

| The final summing up of the subscrip-
tions to the second Liberty loan to the
United States government shows that
the enormous total of $4,6l7 1872, 800 was
subscribed by Americans to defeat the
kaiser and his nefarious purposes. IL
was little short of the maximum
amount set by Secretary McAdoo OF the
treasury department, but far above the
sum which was set as the official goal
of the great drive, Therefore, the second
Liberty loan was successful undertake
ing, more successful, in fact, than any
attempt ever made by this government
or by any other government. But I'M
pressive as is the total subscribed, TAR
more impressive is the showing of the
subscribers themselves. The figures of
ficially given out in Washington reveal
that practically one-tenth of the men,
women and children of the United States
contributed something to the drive at
the kaiser. A fair Judgment of the ex-
tent of the participation would necessar-
ily eliminate the children from the reck-
oning, it being granted that few would
have the money to loan to the govern
ment. II seems certain. therefore, that
approximately one-fourth of the people
of the United States took part in the
demonstration to the kaiser that the
United States is in this war heart and
soul. The next loan to the government |
ought to be even more impressive than
that, as far as the number of subscribers
is concerned.

The election of Judge Hylan as mayor
of New York to succeed John p. Mitchell,
'the best mayor New York has had in 50
years." may be attributed in part to re.
sentiment on the part of the mass of the
voters at the presumption of three noted
figures in national life to impress their
will upon several hundred thousand men
1t is admitted that Mitchell has made
good mayor, probably better mayor
than Judge Hylan viii prove to be; but
Mitchell lost the Republican nomination
for the Office and was promptly thrust
10 the foreground by Theodore Roosevelt,
Charles Z. Hughes and Elihu Root, all
good men and true but nevertheless mere
private citizens under the present dis
pensation. The fact that these three
men were attempting, by the sheer force
of their personality, to swerve the tide
of the great city was enough to arouse
the fighting spirit and resentment among
q considerable part of the electorate;
and that accounts in measure for the
pleasure assumed by large number of
voters in just whacking the head of the
candidate thus thrust forward. I'm
doubtedly there were other causes which
contributed to Mitchels defeat; but sure
ly it is partly TO be attributed to re-
pugnanee to being dominated by any
coterie of men, even though those men
be Theodore Roosevelt, Charles E. Hughes
and Elihu Root
