out Of the darkness stepped all the gen

Statutes were exchanged and The Mar

Under the dim light Of a shaded Ian
tern the general in command OF the
French bid us welcome. Our colonel
replied in a graceful speech and we
marched three miles through darkness
to barracks
There was no keeping the crowd
back. White haired men and women
and little boys and girls crowded into
the ranks as we marched. They hung
on TO our blouses, wrung our hands,
laughed, cried and sang. We were the
first American regiment TO get up
within sound of the guns.

Repulse
Counter Attacks
At San Gabrielle
Cadorna Reports a Charge
Defeated, but Vienna
Claims Victory

LONDON, Sept. 13.-Austrian di-
visions, reinforced by units newly ar
rived at the front, attacked the Italian
positions northeast of Gorilla yester-
day. including those on Monte San Ga
briele, with more dash and tenacity
than have yet been displayed by the
enemy in this area.
Rome, however, reports that Ca
dornas main positions were firmly held
by the Eleventh Army of Occupation,
the Austrians overcoming the resistance
of only few advanced posts. The bat
tie for the possession of Monte San
Gabrielle has been progressing without
cessation since Monte Santo fell before
the Italian advance.
The Italian forces are now using the
summit Of Monte San Gabrielle as
shield against the fire of the hostile
batteries. which are placed on the OPP
posite slope. Their gradual approach
to the top of the mountain is grow
ing menace to the Austrian domination
of the height, which explains the vi
client counter thrusts of the foe in the
last three days.
A summing up OF all the iecent fight
ing from the Isonzo bend to the sea
has been received from Vienna, under
yesterdays date. Cadorna's offensive is
pronounced a failure. but it is admit
ted that the Italians hold the village
of Selo, on the Carso Plateau, while
on the Bainsizza Plateau it is confessed
that the Austrians' lines had to be
withdrawn from one and two-thirds
miles TO more than five miles on
front of about ten miles. Since them
the official statement says, "all at
tempts by the enemy to extend his
first gain have been made at great sac
rifces."
These. it is asserted, aggregate
about 5000 men, including 10000
prisoners. II, however, Vienna has es-
timated the Italian losses on the basis
of the number of prisoners taken, the
Austrian losses must have approx
mated $4,000 men. as Cadorna has
taken over 10000 Austrian captives.
The Italian commander is said TO have
employed forty-cight divisions on a
front of scarcely thirty-two miles.

Representatives of the international

Yesterday that the company had no
information from abroad that would
indicate the reported sinking of the
Atlantic Transport liner Minnehaha.
I'VE received a cable message several
days ago relative to the Minnehaha,"
said a representative of the company,
but there was nothing in it TO indi-
cate that the vessel had been lost

On the Vital Importance
Of the Days Work

It's big job we've taken on and there's
just one way to do it.
Most of us think Though we don't say it,
that we could do pretty nearly any part of it,
from planning camp to financing the war,
just little better than it's being done
Most of us incline to critcise-mainlv
because that's the human animals way of
showing his interest.
But talk wins few battles
The thing will be done, sreN done; and,
we pray-done promptly. 1t will be done
when every man does his share of the job-wel
and promptly
This is observation-disclosures sermon
But once in a while business houses or men
or nations do well to state their beliefs and ideals
We are trying, every man of us here, to
do our days work better than we ever did it
before.
1t isn't as easy to be sure of quality, either
OF materials or workmanship, as once it was.
1t isn't easy to see that service is prompt and
plenty.
But we doing these things-carrying
what seems to us our share Of the burden
and making the buying of clothes easier and
pleasanter than it was.
Fortunately, we well supported. Hart
Schaflner & Marx feel as we do and so do
Stetson and other great makers who supply us.
You can be sure here of these things:
L. The most satisfactory and dependable of
merchandise-Cl Clothing, Hats or
laberdashery.
ii. Values even greater than we have offered
IN normal times.
Ill. spirit of cheerful service.
~. Your money back always if you want it.
