GERMAN RAID IN
BRENTA VALLEY
ATTEMPT MADE BY KAISER'S
FORCES TO BREAK THROUGH
THE ITALIAN LINE.

Rome, Nov. 28.--An entire di-
vision Of the enemy made an attack
Tuesday in the Brenta valley in an
effort to break through the Italian
northern front. Wednesdays official
statement says these troops, which
attacked in massed formation, were
driven back.
The announcement follows.
Tuesday afternoon the enemy,
after bombarding furiously our posi-
ons on Col Della Berretta, to the
east of the Brenta valley, launched
against it a massed attack of an en-
tire division of infantry. The en-
uing struggle was very fierce and
the defenders, isolated by a violent
barrage fire, would perhaps have
been compelled to give way in view
IF the size of the attacking force and
the violence of its assault, had not
their support, composed of splendid
s. .ilians of the ancient and glorious
Aosta brigade, with parties of the
Ninety-fourth infantry and the Bren-
ia valley battalions of Alpini, arriv-
ed in time.
Having crossed the death zone
with elan, our gallant troops rushed
against enemy, with irresistible i'm
petus, carrying all before them and
compelling him to retire with very
severe losses, leaving prisoners in
our hands"
Austrian troops made another at
tack on the Italian lines in Albania
on Sunday, in which they scored an
initial success, the war Office has an
nounced. Regulars came to the as
sistance of the Albanian bands that
had been driven back in the region
southeast of Berat and the Austrians
were forced to retreat with heavy
casualties.
The text of the statement reads:
"In Albania on Sunday night the
enemy forced a passage of the 0sun
River, between Cipan and Kobkara.
southeast of Berat, attacking our
Albanian banks there. The prompt
Intervention of regular troops drove
the enemy back with the infliction
of heavy losses upon him.

JUNIOR SENATOR DE.
LIVERS ADDRESS AT THE
COURT HOUSE.
EXPLAINS POLICY
Explanation However, is Not
Satisfactory to Some of His
Hearers.

Hon. James X. Vardaman. junior
senator from Mississippi, who is
seeking reelection, spoke at the
Lowndes county court house yester-
day afternoon, and was greeted by
large audience.
Senator Vardaman was introduced
by Hon. P. w. Maer, editor of the
Columbus Dispatch, who has been his
loyal friend and supporter for nearly
twenty-five years, and who enter
tanned him while in the city. Mr..
Maer's Introductory remark w
brief, were emphatic. He said that
the Senator had been maligned and
misrepreStnted and would present
his side of the case.
Senator Vardaman stated that he
would not go into the matter regard
ing causes of the war, as people had
been surfeited with information Of
this kind and anything ne might say
now would be merely repetition. In
referring to his policy regarding his
opposition to President Wilson's war
measures the Senator declared that
every time he had oppoted one of the
measures it was the President and
not h, who failed to follow the pro-
vision of the constitution.
From expressions heard after Sen
ator Vardaman had concluded his ad-
dress, it II evident that the explana-
lions which he made regarding his diff
ferent positions in Washington were
not convincing to those who are 10y
ally supporting the President.
At the conclusion of his address
Senator Vardaman left for Birming-
ham, where he goes to spend Thanks
giving Day with his daughter.

Columbians are looking forward

While amusements will not be

the stores, offices, public buildings
and factories will be closed, and
many people are preparing to devote
the day to outdoor sports. Colum-

commissions representing the War

labors met with fair success, about
$4OO having been subscribed or the
inaugural day of the campaign
Columbians and the people of the
surrounding country have had so
many calls made upon them since
the United States entered the great
worldwide war that their pocket
books are becoming depleted, and
many who would doubtless like to
assist this laudable movement are
prevented from doing so for the lack
of cash.
Mr.. v. Is. lines, who is chairman
of the committee, conceived novel
idea of placing a Liberty Belp' at
the intersection of Main and Market
street which is the center of the
business section of the city, and this
bell peals forth at stated intervals
the progress of the campaign, be-
ing sounded by members of the To-
cal Boy Scouts, who are carrying.
