All his staff of ficerS were killed or wounded and only three of his fifty horsemen escort re- mained alive. General Badoglie, with his Bersaglieri, stood on Matajur. the new Thermopylae of the Austrian offensive, commanding the line from Caporeto to Cividale, fighting without hope but also without the idea of sur render. Of three regiments Of Bersag- lieri, only one lieutenant remained alive and he was wounded
 The correspondent, describing the exodus of the fugitives says they com prised people of all classes-in auto mobile. in vehicles of all epochs and oxen drawn carts. Some persons trans ported their belongings in hand carts while others carried them. There were women with half naked children in their arms, and others crying or beat ing their breasts because they had lost their children in the confusion.
 There were wounded and there were aged or sick being carried by relatives. Some of the carts bore all the humble furniture of a household. Here and there donkey or mule passed loaded with all the kitchen utensils of the family. The girls of some families car ried with the greatest of care their shoes in baskets, tramping along in the wooden clogs that are worn in these parts. There was to be seen a man running away in full evening dress; there a woman in evening toil- ette, wearing white evening slippers. A heavy rain added to the miseries of the refugees Foot passengers made quicker progress than those in motor

Muck and the orchestra had never refused tp play the anthem, and that they now have complied with his request to make it a part of the program.

 Crawford county mines have govern ment contracts to furnish three or four thousand tons of coal daily for Camp Funston and they are able to fill only a fraction of this demand because of the strike.

British Red Cross unit to leave. A final look at midnight from the top of the Red Cross building found that the eastern horizon was ablaze with continual explosions as the italians blew up munition depots and bridges to impede the advance of the enemy and screen their own retirement A fierce bombardmeIN was punctuated with star shells from either side while the gunners attempted to discover their opponents position.
 At daylight Sunday the vast traffic of the retiring. multltude~ clogged the roads for miles. The Red Cross auto mobile party expected to make 30 miles inside of two hours but it developed that it would take at least two days to achieve this distance.
 The withdrawal of the heavy guns and the munitions supplies revealed military genius of the highest order but the civilian crowGs added to the difficulty of the huge military removal. A torrential rain increased the hard ships of the soldiers and added to the misery of the women and children who had walked seemingly endless miles over the roads and through the fields all night.
 Sunday morning, at railway cross | ing, d steady succession of flat cars assisted in the removal of the artillery. | The monster guns were mounted on double cars with a covering of bough- as a screen against air raiders.

Will Not Affect War

LONDON, Nov. 2.-Lord Robert Cecil, minister of blockade, in his weekly talk with the Associated Press, declared today that there is not the least reason to suppose that the Italian reverses will affect the result of the war.
 What has happened may affect the duration of the war or it may not" Lord Robert said. Sooner or later the economic side of the war is as likely as anything else to produce the desired effect, according to the extent of the enemy to carry on an economic offen- sive."
 In this connection, Lord Robert pointed out the great preponderance of the entente allies resources. He added:
 The central powers already are in a very precariou3 condition. I see noth- ing but greater economic ruin fer them after the war, the longer it lasts"
 He declared that the allies were do- ing, and will do, all possible for Italy and would regard the battle fronts in all the war theaters as one compre- hensive front.
 What has happened only means that We other governments must mike stronger exertions,' he said in con- clusion.s We cannot afford to neglect any chance. Our information is that the spirit of Italy is untouched and that there is no sign of disagreement or panic at the reverse, but only a strengthened determination to finish the fight"
