Italians, Frantic From Hunger,
Killed and Burned in Turin
Eyewitness Gives First Uncensored Story of The Red
Days of Last August When Mobs Swept
City, Looting and Crying for Bread

city gates leading to Milan, Nice and
San Paolo barbados were erected. The
police. in the absence Of troops, were
unable TO handle the situation and felI
back after one futile attempt.
Something lead the crowd 10 make
an attack on the Church of the San
Bernardino Brothers, in the basement
Of which was discovered large supply
Of coal. Painstakingly the coal was
hauled out of the cellar. and the church
was set on fire. The iremen were
called, but vixen they arrived the
crowd fought them off and prevented
them from putting water on the hames;
Two days later the church was still
burning, almost total ruin.
Soldiers Would Not Attack
Presently Alpini troops arrived, but
they refused TO attack the crowd, and
either placed their hats over their
rifle muzzles as an indication that they
would not attack or else fired into the
air. Accordingly, they had TO be re-
tired to their garrison, while the CROWD
attacked little groups OF police ana
militia and disarmed them.
At the Church of the Madonna della
Pace the curate fired on mob, which
thereupon set fire to his church. New
soldiers charged and some women were
shot by cavalrymen.
The enraged mob swept through the
streets, stopping long enough at the
Cafe Ligure, patronized by army con-
tractors, to wreck it and kill major:
Three other officers and a number of
soldiers were killed that same evening
for having attacked the strikers. The
arrival on the scene Of bersaglieri did
no good because they declined to shoot
at the crowds.
On Friday, the worst of the Red
Days" cavalry was brought into action
and attacked the crowd in the Via Villa
franco, in the San Paolo quarter. At
first even the cavalry was repulsed by
the maddened throng, but other troops
arrived in such numbers that by Friday
night they had the upper hand. The
military authorities emptied the mill
tary storehouses OF all bread on hand
and distributed it to the populace, even
though they had to deprive the troops
of their supplies for twentyfour hours,
and the wounded in the hospitals had
to go without. By Sunday the upris-
ing had terminated.

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, October
25.-With the arrival here Of an ltal-
ian from Turin the full details Of the
riots there late in August are known.
The Italian censor suppressed them
rigidly. and the military authorities
even closed the border to Switzerland
for a considerable period so that they
might not get out to the rest Of the
world.
The trouble began on August q, &C
cording to the Turin resident who has
succeeded in coming TO Zurich, and
grew worse as the days followed, days
now known in Italy as the "Red Days
Of Turin" A shortage OF bread and
-four was the cause. When the poorer
people from the popular quarter, Porta
Palazzo, were unable 20 obtain any
thing TO eat they formed into columns
and began marching toward City Hal!

to shout, 1--WE want bread"
The police on the first evening were
able TO restore order without blood
shed On the following day, when the
people discovere! the bakeries shut for
want of -four, dissatisfaction required
and the crowds became so menacing
that the police counded the familiar
trumpet warning. The people, instead
Of dispensing, began making a round
Of all the factories, inducing the work
men and women TO go on strike. The
police interfered and arrested many
women.
Police Fire Into Crowd
The disorders became violent on the
second evening and the first shots were
fired by the police, killing two women
and a boy of fourteen. The crowd was
awed for the time being and dispersed
at midnight, but the next day thousands
gathered and the word was quickly

Germans Expect
New Allied Push
On Ypres Sector
Destructive Artillery Fire
by British Indicates
Advance

LONDON. Nov. 12--Violent artillery
duels have taken place east OF lpres'
along the Aisne front, and east OF the
Mouse CVerdun 'front.'. The only IN
fantry assault in force on the west
front mentioned in any official war
statement to-day was an attack by the
british near Passchendaele mentioned
by Berlin.
The German communique asserts that
the British made a local attack in the
early morning northwest of the ruins
of Passchendaele Village and were re-
pulsed General Hays statement does
not refer to the incident.
However. Berlin declares that a de-
etructive artillery fire OF great IN
tensitv has been renewed by the British
in the Ypres sector, seeming to be the
forerunner of another push forward by
the Allies with the object of clearing
the north end of Passchendaele Ridge,
and thus threatening the city OF Kou-
lerc and vital German communication
lines.
Paris describes violent artillery ac-
tivity in the sector east of the Mouse
(Chaume Wood and Bezonyaux) in
both the day and the night official
statements. The Germans are probably
preparing to renew their recent unsuc-
cessful assaults there.
The French statement also narrates
continuation of artillery duels in the
region of the recent German retire
ment north of the Chemin-de s-Dames.
Both sides deluged the opposing lines
with shells between the Miette and the
Aisne rivers, but no infantry assaults
have yet taken place.
A Belgian communication tonight
described a raid on Terestylee Farm, in
which a detachment killed and wounded
many Germans, blew up shelter and
returned with several prisoners. Many
hostile batteries have recently been
silenced by the Belgian artillery.
A hostile airplane was destroyed and
four others driven down out of con-
troll, while no British machines was
lost, says an official statement issued
tonight. Low clouds and stormy
weather hampered operations, but the
airmen used their guns on hostile de-
tschments repeatedly. and in one case
silenced battery.

"Serbia is not being supplied with
food, and her fate is therefore many
times worse than that of Belgium. The
Americans and the Swiss gave her
some help last year, but this work Of
charity is now interrupted because the
Americans have themselves entered the
war and no longer have access to Ser
bia. and because Switzerland, being ra-
toned, no longer disposes Of foodstufs

THE AMERICAN EXPEDITI0NARY
ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. ia little
doughboy lay fat on his back this
afternoon and grinned while the COM
mander in chief stood at the foot Of his
bed and told him America was proud
of him.
Pershing, with four stars on his
shoulders, told the boy he envied him.
This was the soldier who refused TO
&c into dugout, but stood in trench
under the German bombardment TO dig
out his comrade, who had been buried
by the bursting Of a shell Just before
the German raid.
He hadn't been feeling very clipper
to-day until Pershing came. They had
just fooled around his wound, and it
hurt, although the doctor had told him
he was getting along nicely.
Recognized Commander
Only few minutes had passed when
there was clatter at the door. He
thought it was going to be some more
doctors and nurses, but instead it was
majors and colonies and generals. He
recognized Pershing because he had
spoken to him once in the course Of an
inspection. The general had asked him
if he thought that was the way to stand
at attention, but this time Pershing
said:
81 want to congratulate you. envy
YOU. There isn't a man in the army
who wouldn't like to be in your place.
You have brought home to the people
of America that we are in the war. l
want to thank you"
= And the nurse who made the rounds
that evening wondered why q patient
who was doing so we'll should have
pulse hitting ninety-nine.
Pershing had word for each OF the
American wounded, and earlier in the
day a major general visited the hos,
pital and read to the first officer and
the first soldier wounded in the war
