BERLIN, (via London), Oct 2o.- The Austro-German troops invading Northern Italy, are standing before Udine, where Italian headquarters have been located according to an an- nouncement. The third Italian army made but brief resistance to the ad- vancing Teutonic forces from Wip- bach 10 the Adriatic. This army is now in Relate, along the Adriatic coast. Cornfon has been. captured, and the Austro-Germans are approaching the frontier of the Italian coast region. The Italian front is yielding north oi the broad sector which was pierced in the Teutonic attack, weakening as fai as the Ploclner pass The entire Italian Isonzo front has collapsed. the statement adds. The second Italian army is retreating toward Taglia- monte All roads are covered with col umns in disorderly retreat, comprising both soldiers and civilians. The Aus tro- German forces on the lsonzo front are commanded by General Otto von Reulow.

LARK CEASED WARBLlNG

DOUGLAS, July 13.-For once in the career of Ex-Mayor M. J. O'Con- nor the songbird that has long nested on the ridgepole of his heart ceased warbling last night. It was this way: The long time Mayor had business at Tee Harbor near the north end Of Douglas Island and yesterday evening he engaged launch to take him there and back. The launch per formed the first part of the mission very nicely but on the return the tide which had enabled the launch to cross the bar on the outward jou. new had receded and was not in evi- dence and the sand had moved ur in close proximity to the top of the water. Bump! and the launch was hard aground. But the man who years ago crossed oceans, continents deserts and mountains to reach Al aska was undaunted. It was either stay all night in the little launch with the fog and mist toying with his vertebrae or foot it home. M. J chose the latter, and tearing through the brush like bull moose, he ar rived in town at 4 o'clock this morn ing, puffing like an exhausted freight engine having covered ten miles il three hours. And that was when the little bird on the ridgepole of his heart ceased to warble.
