BRITISH ADVANCE In
TWO FIELDS AS ARMY
OF CADORNA RETREATS
Heroic Stand By
Grenadiers Who
Fight To Death
CBy Associated Press.)

Italian Army Headquarters,
Tuesday, Nov. 6.-Again a bri-
gade of grenadiers has covered
itself with glory, standing like a
rock in the face of the advancing
Austro- German tide until it was
overwhelmed. After the enemy
had crossed the Tagliamento and
was pressing on between Porde-
none and Porto Gruaro the
grenadiers were assigned to the
task of holding up the advance
in this region. No shelling from
the enemy could dislodge them.
They lay prone behind brush
wood, calmly awaiting the foe.
AS soon as the enemy came
within range, his ranks were
swept with the rifle fire of the
grenadiers. The Austro- German
lines were filed up Immediately,
however, and continued to ad-
vance in overwhelming waves.
AS they approached the grena-
diers rose to their knees and
hurled cir grenades but were
unable to turn back such great
numbers of the enemy.
The last surviving officer or
dered a bayonet charge. With
out hesitation the grenadiers
dashed at the foe. When last
seen the few survivors, using
their rifles as clubs, were fight
ing on until, one by one, all fell.
That did not occur, however, un-
til they had accomplished their
task, for their resistance delay
ed the enemy until the Italian
troops reached a place of safety
and were reformed for action.

For the bulk of the Fusion candi-
dates 1T was a two to one victory.
They swept Chicago with pluralities
ranging from 59,245 to 67,957. The
country towns added about 5000 to
this lead. The Socialists carried SIX
out OF the thirtv-five wards In CHI
cago and got an even break in an-
other.

given unlimited suffrage in yester-
days election by q majority which
is expected to reach 100, 900. With L.
S48 out of STA election districts
missing, the vote stood 533,519 for
the amendment and 446,791 against.

crease the already large majority. The
incomplete vote for the city was
2S9,724 for suffrage as against 209, ,127

In the long fight for the ballot In
New York state Of almost seventy
years the women long since learned
to expect defeat, but their fears were
early turned to hope and, as the big
vote began to pile up, to jubilation
that knew no bounds. At both the
city and state suffrage headquarters
scenes approaching hysteria were
enacted as the women showered
embraces, kisses and congratulations
upon each other.
On the sweeping character of yes
terday's victory in this state the
leaders predicted that congress would
be influenced to act favorably upon
the constitutional amendment. New
York city women will celebrate to-
night at Cooper Union.
Upstate counties where suffrage
was rejected in 1915 reversed their
majority in more than equal pro-
portions. while others, notably
Albany, Monroe, Niagara, Orleans,
Rensselaer, and St Lawrence again
voted against the amendment.

A record for patriotic service OF

The Nelson county record of 1863

of having raised $7,s40.55, without a
single cent being charged against
the Red Cross for expense, leads the
list of counties so far reporting.
Surely, that is a type Of service
of which every man, woman and
child in Nelson county has a right
to be proud, commented Judge N.
c. Young, state director today. The
Nelson county Red Cross activities
have no doubt cost a great deal OF
money, but not penny Of the money
that has been given to the Red Cross,
has been employed. Nelson county

HAVE
WITHDRAWN IN
GOOD ORDER TO
new POSITIONS
tBy AssoeIated Press.l


Headquarters Of the Italian Army,
Nov. 6.-The main fact of the situa-
ton connected with the reorganiza-
ton Of the Second and Third armies
is that General Cadorna's line has
been re-established. This line will be
defended by the same magnificent
troops which in the month of May
won four battles, at the same time
storming Monte Santo, Monte Kuk,
Sabotino and Hermada- The SOL
diers have the greatest confidence in
Cadorna-
One element OF the new Cadorna
line Is that the soldiers already are
learning to Withstand the German
methods Of fighting, which are differ
ent from those OF the Austrian. It
was necessary for the troops to learn
how to conquer the Austrians.
Now they must learn the German
way. The Italians have vast su-
periOrity in mountain fighting over
the Germans, who secured their ad-
vantage two weeks ago by treach-
cry.
General Cadorna's line is being
strengthened by the surprising ac-
tiyity Of airplanes, notably the Ca
pronis. in constructing which Italy
has made rapid strides. Italian Of
ficers have insisted TO the CORES
pondent, as they have insisted for
the last year, that the United States
must furnish more and more artil-
lery. but that particularly she must
furnish aviators and airplanes.
Have Plenty Of Troops.
They say Italy has a superabund-
ance of troops. but never has had
enough airplanes, which they believe
will prove the key to further war
fare whether II Is of resistance or
aggression. They assert that the
United States. therefore. will do far
better for her allies by furnishing
airplanes than in sending troops, a
task which 1t will require great eff
fort TO carry out, and also large
quantities Of food to maintain the
men. They say that 1000 aviators
would be better than 100000 troops.
The Italian point OF view seemed
to be vindicated not only when the
Italian forces took Bainsizza. in Sep
tember but during the recent re-
treat when the capronIs protected
the rear and also destroyed by bonn
bardment several houses of supplies,
which the retreating infantry was
unable to do. After the retreat the
Capronis went over the ground and
pIGW up the 4NaAAaH HAHHAAEas
Army's Heart Sound.
It is true that the Italian army has
been tampered with and that the
Isonzo retreat is more of a political
than military defeat. But ii is re-
iterated that the army's heart is
sound. The army is made up Of
young men taught in the school Of
war and ready TO undergo any hard
ship for the country. 1t has grown
from very small dimensions 20 a
splendid organization.
1t Is hoped by all Italians that the
United States win not lose confidence
In the bravery OF the Italian troops.
the efficiency Of the officers and pa
triotism of the people, because a
reverse has been playing
into the hands OF the enemy.
