No Infantry Assaults on Italians.
The Austro-Germans have not yet
launched their expected attacks on the
northern Italian front, but all along
this line and along the Piave river to
the Adriatic, violent artillery duels are
in progress. Near Meletta an attempt
by the enemy to break the Italian line
was put down and the attacking forces
compelled to flee.
Turks Are Repulsed.
In Palestine the Turks west of Je-
rusalem continue to attack the Brit

have been repulsed with losses.
At one place the Ottomans penetra-
ted a British position, but later were
elected from it, leaving prisoners in
the hands of the British

Paris.-Active artillery fighting is
in progress on the Verdun front east

COLLAPSE OF AUSTRIA
PREDICTED IN WINTER

GENEVA, Oct. 24.-The Freie lei

from high Austrian official who re-
Gently travelled through several Sec
tions of this country, in which the
writer states that Austria-Hungary
cannot hold out the coming winter
owing to economic reasons, as both
soldiers and civilians will be starved.
He gives several reasons. notably the
almost complete destruction of the
crop in the richest regions of Hun
gary by the cold and the heavy rain,
while 100000 tons of Rumanian cer-
eals could not be transported owing to
lack of rolling stock, which, first of
all, is utilized for military purposes.
In the meantime. he says. the neces-
saries of life are mounting to extra
ordinary prices.

PROBING CHARGE OF
GOVERNOR LOWDEN

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. "a
Agents of the federal department of
justice were in Springfield today in
vestigating charges made by Gov.
Frank o. Lowden yesterday that the
walkout of approximately 5000 work
ers in various trades, apparently in
sympathy with the strike of street car
operatives, were traceable in part to
the activity of anti-American influ-
ences.
1t was commonly believed here to-
night that the general strike would
be broken by settlement of the car
strike, although unionists insisted
their walking out was a protest
against the prevention Sunday by
troops of a parade in support of the
car strikers, and that there would be
no end to the protest strike until the
parade was sanctioned by the author
tiles.
Closing of all coal mines near here
and the refusal of teamsters to work
has threatened many industrial plants
with a coal famine.
