Captain was coast Man.

San Francisco, Nov. S.--Captain Eric
Koheritz, for years commanding Pacific
coastwise vessels, was master OF the
Rocester on her first trip through
the submarine zone. 1t is believed he
still is her commander.
Before going to the Atlantic seaboard
to take over the Rochester, Koheritz
commander both lumber and passenger
steamers, largely out Of San Francisco,
operating chiefly to California and
Oregon points. He was known, however,
in practically every Pacific port. His
last command before the Rochester was
the E. J. Dodge company's steamer
Phoenix running from San Francisco to
Eureka, Of which he was master for
several years.
The Steamer Rochester, sunk by a
German submarine, was the ship that,
with the Orleans, first braved the sub
marine zone after Germany rescinded
her promises to the United States, Of
ficials of the Kerr Steamship company
asserted today. The Rochester was own
cd and operated by this company, when
she made her trip, leaving New York
February IL.
The Rochester, shortly after this jour
ney, was taken over by the Furness-
Witty company, British shipping com
pany, it was stated, and presumably
was under British registry. She was of
1851 tons, a steel screw steamship, built
in 1912 at Ecorse, Mich.
The Kerr company officials said there
was no other Rochester in the Atlantic
service. The Orleans was sunk several
months ago.

Battle in First Stage.

Washington, Nov. S.-The decisive
battle of the Teuton drive on Italy IS
entering it's first stage today with man
euvering for position by the opposing
armies Rome cables stated. French and
British reinforcements are massing back
of the Piave river line and heavy artil-
lerv is being rushed from the western
front to General Cadorna IS relief.
The final decisive battle may start
within a few days
The Rome cables had distinctly
optimistic flavor. Despite terrible sac
rifiees, the Italian troops were said to
be holding up the Austro-German ad-
vance sufficiently to permit prepara-
ticns to make the final outcome hope
full The tide Of battle on the Venetian
plains will soon turn in Italy's favor,

Loyalty with high spirit.
For the past ten days the allies have
been feverishly transporting troops and
artillery over the two railroads lead
ing from France through northern
Italy. When the last stand is finally
made against the Teuton hordes, tho
advantage will be on the allies side,
Rome stated.
German Fleet in Baltic
Stockholm, Nov. 8.--A large German
squadron of warships is off the Finnish
naval station Of Helsinfors, according
to word received from Haparanda.
Presumably the presence of German
fleet in this location means Germany
has resumed her naval drive in the Bal
tic and is now about to attack the Rus
sian naval Notifications at Sveaborg,
guarding Helsingfors.
When the German fleet was operating
in the bay of Riga, Russian dispatches
reported in view of the likelihood of
German sea attacks in the Baltic that
Reval, Sveaborg and Kronstadt were to
be evacuated Of civilians. Reval was
evacuated also of all military forces and
practically abandoned to the enemy be
cause of the threat of thrust from. the
rear after German troops had been land
ed on Werder peninsula. Then Germany
apparently withdrew these forces. Svea-
