 Italian Headquarters in Italy, Tues- day, Nov. 13-(By the Associated Press)-The Piave line still holds in the main against heavy and continuous artillery fire from the eastern bank and the efforts of the Austro- Germans to cross the stream. These efforts have not taken the proportions of 8 general movement, but several bat talions concentrated their fire on the raiding parties. either destroying them in mid stream or pushing them back on the river bank. The fighting here was desperate and sanguinary. Men who have returned from the batteries along the Piave say the German fire is extremely heavy, but from guns of medium calibre.
 Chief attention is now directed to. ward the eastern sector Of the Tren. tino front, where 1t runs across the Asiago plateau to the upper Piave river. The enemy is making demon strations there which are either a diversion or a prelude to heavy at- tack with the evident purpose of get Ging down into the valley toward Bas- sano and the plains below, thus sepa- rating the Italian army on the Tren- tino from that on the piave.
 Reports indicate that the enemy is operating on four main fronts. Gen. Borcevic is on the lower Piave, Gen. Won Below is on the upper Piave, Gen. Korbatin is on the eastern Trentino and Gen. Conrad is in the western Trentino. This gives Won Below the task of trying to force the center while Borcevio and Conrad press in the PiaNe and Trentino wing. The num- Der of troops under the Austre-Ger- man coanmand ders is not known.
 An Italian aviator who made one of the last flights over Udine after it was evacuated says the city was damaged but little. He saw several large fires at separated points, and the hope is expressed that none of them was the city hall, which is a handsome mon- ument of Venetian architecture re- sernb1ing the Doges palace.

A Serious Accident

Last Friday morning Harry Debuke,
who has been working on the village
streets, met with a very serious accident.
He lives on Morristown Plains and on
that day drove his horse over and put it
in Phon. Boyce's barn and came out to go
up to his work on the streets. Just then
the big auto truck from the Brigham
creamery at Morrisville was coming up
the hill and Debuke attempted to jump
onto the same. He slipped and fell, the
rear wheel passing over his groin, break
ing hip ana injuring him internally. He
was taken to DR.. Stevens. who found it
necessary to take him to the hospital at
Burlington. the trip being made in Fl.
Cristy's auto. He was so badly injured
that no attempt was made to operate up
on him until Monday, when it was found
that besides the broken hip he was in
ternally injured and although the injury
is severe one there are hopes of his ul-
innate recovery.
The case is a sad one, as he has a wife
and young child dependent upon him.
Here is surely grand opportunity to act
the part of the Good Samaritan.

An Explanation

Every once in a while some newspaper
demands that the President explain why
the United States is at war with Ger
many. Every sensible person, of course,
knows why the nation went to war, and
the queries which occasionally appear
are part of the pro-German propagan-
da and are designed only to confuse the
American mind concerning the business
of the war against Teutonic militarism
and aggression.
But if there is any person in the coun-
try who honestly wants to know why
the nation is at war let him read the
Presidents Flag Day address at Wash
ington. The President, in his usual elo-
quent, convincing and finished English.
outlines the cause of the conflict, tells of
the issues involved and declares the aims
and purposes of the American govern
ment in prosecuting the war.
The Presidents Flag Day address
ought to end finally all speculation, hon
est or dishonest, concerning the war in
which the UnitedStates has engaged after
suffering for more than two years the
outrages and insults heaped on it by
Prussianism
