REAR GUARD PUTS
UP PLUCKY FIGHT
Hard Struggle Against Heavy
Odds to Permit Italian

TEUT0Ns NOW OCCUPY UDlNE
Eastern Section Must Brace to
Prevent Further Disaster
to Cadorna.

LONDON, Oct. 31.--Ncws of the
capture of Udine produced scenes OF
great enthusiasm I'm Berlin and
Vienna. according to an Amsterdam
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph.
Orders were issued that flags he
flown and Emperor William and Em-
perOr Charles exchanged coneratula-
tory *elegrams.
The drive of the Germans and
Austro Hungarian armies. begun a
week ago against the eastern and
northeastern fronts Of the Austro-
Italian theater continues unabated
but with the italian artillery fighting
rear guard actions to cover the retreat
Of the Italians to positions chosen for
a stand and the Teutonic allies also
being impeded by the flooded condi-
tion Of the Tagliamento river.
Udine, former headquarters OF the
Italian army In eastern Venetia, has
been captured by the invaders who
also are pressing the Italians westward
from the Isonzo front and invading
Italian territory from the north thru
passes in the Carnic Alps.
The invasion of the province Of
Venetia from the east, with Udine the
apex of the drive, already Is about
twenty miles, but as yet no definite in
formation is at hand from which 1t Is

vance Of the Teutons in the other
districts. If the movement from the
north keeps pace with that from the
northeast and the east, however, the
predicament of General Cadorna's s
forces necessarily will be serious one
and 1t is not beyond the realms of pos
sibility that unless the eastern armies
are able to make a stand on the plains
of Friuli q further considerable num-
ber Of the Italians will be captured.
Nothing has been vouchsafed In
either the italian, German or Austrian
official communications to indicate
what the situation Is in the Trentino
sector, which lies to the west and
northwest of the present zone of activ-
ity, but it is not improbable that II,
as unofficial advices have stated, the
Austro- Swiss frontier has been closed,
reinforcements of both Germany and
Austria are being hurried up for an
offensive Of great magnitude in this
region. The driving back of the 1tal-
lians southwark in this region might
seriously affect the plans of the en-
tente allies to send relief to General
Cadorna II the route chosen for this
purpose were across the Franco
italian border and eastward by rail.

British artillery units which early In
the spring were sent to the IsonZo
front to aid the Italians in their drive

the men suffered severely from cold,
the inclement weather and lack OF
food.

You have not evidently, gentle
men. an exact conception of what war
means. We have had 100000 dead
three or four million wounded, of
whom five hundred thousand are Grip
Piled for life. and two million abso-
lutely invallded. That makes alto
gether six million men lost during
three years"

YANKEE GUNNERS LAND
SHELLS AMONG ENEMY
Workmanship Improved by
Clear Skies ! First Wound
ed American Reported.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Oct 30.-A full moon Is
shining tonight over the sector occu-
pied by the American troops. flooding
with Its silver light the entire position
and the surrounding country. 1t makes
conditions favorable for snipers, but
hinders the patrols from working
freely in No Mans land.
The Americans in the trenches and
gun pits of France saw the sun today
for the first time since taking their
places in the line. The weather was
clear and cold and a frost covered the
hills during the night.
The favorable conditions gave the
gunners a better opportunity to do
shooting, the observers being able to
spot the targets and shots.
The Germans also took advantage OF
the conditions. but the firing on both
sides was more or less sporadic. Some
OF the American shells burst over the
enemy trench positions. A few Ger
man projectiles exploded near the
American positions, sprinkling frag-
ments but doing no serious damage.
However, more than one American SOL
dier was able to show dents In his
shrapnel helmet. The condition of
the first wounded American arriving
at the base hospital Is excellent.
The infantry and artlllerists took
advantage OF the sunshine to dry their
soaking clothing. Notwithstanding
the bad weather conditions OF the last
few days there Is no report of single
case of sickness resulting from this
cause. The perefect physical condi-
ton of the men is declared to be re-
sponsible for this.

"T am glad to be able to take this

til America came into the war the
method OF financing our purchases
there and the question of exchange

my opinion almost insoluble problems.

generous assistance at times when she
was incurring expenditures at a
heavier rate than any OF the allies

acknowledge"
