Italian Headquarters in North.
ern Italy, Nov. 24.-The battle
between the Piave and the Bren-
ia rivers in the hills leading to
the Venetian plain is reaching a
climax with a fury of action ex-
ceeding anything that has thus
far taken place on that front.
Some positions, after tluctuating
in furious mass attacks, in which
the Germans Joined the Austri-
ans, are again in the hands of the
Italians, who made a magnificent
charge up the slopes.
Up and down the slopes this
fearful carnage lis proceeding,
and four attacks have been swept
back over the Italian lines over
heaps Of enemy dead. Only at
one point has the enemy succeed
ed in making Roadway with his
overwhelming numbers, and here
the Italians have taken ground
with the final issue still in doubt.
Bloodiness Beyond Precedent.

most decisive engagement has
been given the correspondent by

hess Of the struggle now going
on is beyond all precedent.
Against enemy reserves hurled in
mass formation. the Italians have in
terposed such heroic resistance that
some regiments are reduced to three
and four hundred men. The position
at one point was almost encircled on
three sides so that the enemy artil

the Italian trench lines and batteries.
1t was this which required falling
back of about 500 yards until deci-
mated ranks could be reformed for
the final charge. The Basilicata Gala

COhNENDABLE ACTION
Alexandria Dealers Showing Consid-
Grafton for the People Which is
Most Gratifying.

In view of the almost universal
increase in the price of the necessl.
ties of life which have been made
within the past year, especially the
last few month, the Gazette desires
to call the attention of its readers to
the action taken by Alexandria con-
Germs in connection Herewith.
AS will be seen by an announce
ment appearing in another column,
the Mutual Ice Company of this city
states that, Notwithstanding the
great increase in the cost of mater
ials, il will endeavor to sell it's pro-
duct to consumers at the same price
as at present during the coming sea-
son.
We believe such action to be most
commendable, and that it will be ap-
preciated by the public is conceded.
1t is certainly most gratifying to
see corporation take such position
at this time.
In connection with the above it
may be of interest to our citizens to
learn that representative of the
Gazette has been told by leading
dealers in provisions, coal and other
necessities. in this city, that every
effort will be made to provide for the
wants of Alexandrians at the lowest
prices possible, consistent with safe
business principles. In fact, we are
in possession of facts 20 prove that
this has been done during the recent
past, while the price Of nearly every
thing has been taking the aeroplane
route.
The principle of Give and let live"
is not yet dead, and it affords u.s.
pleasure to learn that it has some
splendid cxponents in our home city

STATE MOBILIZATION CAMP
Will it be Located at Richmond or at
Some Other Point?

Will it be Located at Richmond or at
Some Other Point?
Regarding the present agitation
OF the mobilization of the state
troops, which seems imminent, the
Richmond Virginian of today says:
There ought to be no doubt as to
the placing of the mobilization camp
at point convenient to the state gov
ernment. There should be provided
an adequate, well-drained, well-light-
ed camp site, with proper water and
sewer connections, on the suburbs Of
this city.
Here is located the machinery OF
government and the travel facilities
are such as to enable prompt troop
movements to and from all sections
of the state.
It occurs to us that the state
mobilization camp is not a plum to
be sought by this or any other city
without regard to the military neces-
sites which may arise.
We can very readily imagine situa-
tions which would make it highly de-
sirable to rush troops from the
mobilization camp to the seasnorc 10
mobilization camp to the seashore' to
capes of Virginia, If Richmond is
as it would. seem, the central point
from which these places may all be
the more promptly reached, then
Richmond should beyond question be
the site of the mobilization camp.
In all such discussions the. great
question is, which location the better
unites the necessary physica lrequfre'
ments with the transportation facll'
tiles and geographical location es'
sential to be best results.
