CAUGHT IN OWN TRAP
Austrians Resorting to Unfair Ruse
Moved Down in Heaps.

Italian Army Headquarters in North
ern Italy, Nov: 20.-Going to points
along the Piave river where the heav-
lest fighting has occurred, the Associat-
ed Press correspondent was told by Of
ficers of unusual circumstances con-
nected with the engagements. The
colonel commanding the Bersaglieri,
who carried the day, said the strate-
gy which the Austrians attempted turn
ed the tide against them.
In the fight on the cemetery road,
it was suddenly observed early Sat
urday morning that number Of Aus
trians were coming toward the Italian
lines with both hands held up as tho
ready to surrender.
For a moment it was believed that
the fight was over and that the enemy
had capitulated. But then it was no.
ticed that all the Austrian machine
guns had been removed and that be-
hind this front line of men followed
lines with bayonets and machine guns.
The Italians let them come until the
range was>~short and they were be-
tween two enfielding lines. Then a
deadly fire was opened on both sides
and the Austrians were moved down
in heaps.

Naval Action of Cattegat
Fought in "Inland Sea"
Controlled by Germans.
EXAMPLE OF EXACT
PLANNING BY ALLIES
British Victory in Little Skasserah
Drama Accomplished Without Losa
Of Single Man-Regarded as Proof oi
Control by Allied Fleets Of the Seas
Modern Munchausen, in Command Of
Hun Fleet, Loses Naval Reputation.
tBy the Associated Press.l

Base of the British Grand Fleet, Nov.
9.-The recent naval action in the Cat
tegat, where the British sank a Ger
man cruiser and ten armed patrol
ships, is an example of the careful
planning which lies behind every move
on the naval chart. A comparatively
insignificant force Of British destroyers
and light cruisers were the actual
stage performers in the little Skag-
gerak drama.
The actual fight In the Cattegat be-
gan at Z o'clock in the morning and
was over three hours later. The Ger
man feet behind the battle line re-
celved the calls for help. but dared not
any attempt to send out help would
ing out Of the sea
The Cattegat is a deep bay lying
between Denmark and Sweden and
leading out thru the Skaggerak into
the North Sea near the scene Of the
famous JutIand battle. A fog lay over
the entire Cattegat thruout the action,
and the British destroyers picked or
their victims one by ono and sank
them. ss
Marie Quickly Disposed OF.
The German auxiliary cruiser Maria,
which was leading the patrol boats,
was u ship OF 5000 tons. Her captain,
Herr Lauterbach. was wounded. but
reached the Danish shores safely. His
ship. which had four guns and crew
of ninety. was suddenly attacked" he
said, In an interview with Danish
newspaper man afterward, 'by a fleet
of British destroyers. and the shells
fired by them descended with such
rapidity that the men on the Marie
were almost unable to use the guns.
Only a few shots were fired before the
ship was mass Of flames"
Captain Known az Munchausen
Captain Lauderbach was known from
Shanghai to Vladivostok as Baron
Munc chausen," and Is said to have been
the most unpopular German naval Of
ficer In the far east. His unpopularity
extended even to his own men.
Lauderbach's naval reputation prob
ably will suffer somewhat from the
Cattegat battle.
The British commander first trained
his fire on the Marie. and then dis
patched his fastest vessels to round up
the escorting patrol vessels. This was
thoroughly done after a hunt lasting
three hours.
Battle in German finland Sea-"
The attack. 1t must be remembered.
occurred in waters which the Germans
considered one of their finland seas"
The crews of the fleet In the Catte-
gat and the British victory which was
won then. without the loss Of single
man, Is concrete proof of the manner
in which the allied fleets control the
seas and enable the allied governments
to use their resources in full strength
on the various fronts.

With the American Army in France
Nov. 20.-Only the fact that the Ger
mans failed to venture into mo mans
land" on recent night saved them
from an American surprise.
One hundred sixty men of the first
battalions to enter the trenches for a
week were given special training and,
after being transported to the front,
crawled across mo mans land" and
took positions in front Of and in the
German wire entanglements at point
where 1t had been discovered the Ger
mans came out most every night.
Each man had been trained in a spe-
cial task, and the work for the party
had BEEN carefully rehearsed. The
Americans reached the positions at
dark and remained in position until
dawn. But no German appeared there.
Cough Proves Expensive.
The plan was to allow several groups
of from ten to fifteen of the Germans
to pass to meet at rendezvous. then
the Americans would fall upon the
Germans and repay them for the re-
cent raid.
An American patrol on another night
had arranged an ambush near a she'll
ruined farm house in mo mans land"
and several of the Americans had colds
and coughs, but managed to control
them. Finally, when the shadows Of
forms of an enemy patrol were seen
approaching, one of the Americans
coughed and the enemy patrol prompt
ly disappeared to it's own lines, from
which there soon came a hail Of ma
chine gun beliefs, one hitting the man
who had coughed.
First U. S. Flag Decorated.
Two staff officers recently had mar
row escape while walking along a road
in the rear Of the lines. They heard
the whiz Of an enemy shell and
jumped, thinking 1t was close by, when
the projectile came down in the section
of the road on either side Of which
they were walking.
The first regimental colors to be car
ried on the battle front have been re-
turned to the9 regimental headquarters.
Written in ink on the flag. over the
signature Of the French commander, Is
the certification that it was the first
flag to reach the front. 1t was actu-
ally carried to a dugout in the rear
of the second line. remaining there
several days.
