CADoRNA IS MENACED

Massed Attack BY Teutons
From North On Italian
Right Wing.

Italian, Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Nov. 7.-Austro-German patrols
have crossed the Tagliamento, as fore.
seen, as shown by the report of heavy
artillery fire on both sides OF the
river with chief pressure on the Ital.
ian left wing, and the enemy is try.
ing to throw his main body into the
plain of the Western Fruili region.
The enemy attack in the Giuidicaia
valley on the Trentino front also
shows clearly his purpose to make
mass attack from the north.
cadorna's Right Wing Threatened.
Austro-German forces operating
against the Italians along the Taglia-
meLto river from the region of the
Carnic Alps southwark to the Adriatic
sea are proving a serious menace.
The invaders of Venetia have driven
across the river at Pinzano and are
proceeding westward, while on the
north on the Italian left wing, inten-
sive operations are being carried out
by the Teutonic allies, the two ma
neuvers probably having as their OBJ
jective the cutting off Of the entire
right wing Of General Cadorna's army.
Italians Taken Prisoners.
The Berlin war office. in announcing
the fcrding of the river, says G,OO0
Italians were made prisoner and that
additional guns were taken. The Ital-
ian official communication makes brief
mention of the operation, asserting
the enemy succeeded in bringing some
of his forces to the right hank Of the
stream.
There is no indication whether Gen
eral Cadorra intends to try to main
tain the Tagliamento line. 1t is not
improbable his stand here is tempo

3 U. S. Soldiers Killed, Five
Wounded and II Captured
In First Real Battle.
Detail Are MEAGER
Germ Forces Launch Desperate e.
fort to Overcome New Enemy
As Soon A. Position 10
Learned.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Three Amert'
cans were killed, five wounded and IL
captured or missing when armed
forces under the American flag had
their first clash with German soldiers
in an attack which the Germans made
on first line trenches where the Unit.
cd States troops had been taken for
instructions.
The War department made this
known on receipt of q dispatch from
General Pershing, showing that the
German forces soon after learning
the position of the new enemy from
overseas, had launched desperate
effort to overcome them.
Heavy earrase Fire.
The Teuton attack came In the
form of a heavy barrage fire which
isolated salient of the American
trench, and apparently left a small
force of Americans at the mercy Of
their enemies. That the American
soldiers fought gamely is shown by
Pershing's report of prisoner being
taken by them.
How some of his troops escaped
bringing this German back with them
is not told in the brief dispatch OF
the American commander.
No Names Of Casualties.
The United States troops were TAX
en- in charge of veteran French SOL
diers to quiet portion of the long
line that runs from the North sea to
Switzerland, and for a few days con.
ditions were normal. Gable dispatches
have been telling of artillery activ'
ity somewhat above normal" but still
not of anything like the furious fire
on other portions of the front. A
rather cryptic announcement told or
North American prisoners being
brought in, and this is taken here to
refer to the soldiers whom General
Pershing's dispatch says are cap
tured or missing. -
Allies Warmed Americans.
Many French aad British military
writer's have warned America that
Germany would hurl terrific blows at
the Americans as soon as news OF
their location reached the German
side, and when the Americans went
into the trenches War department OF.
ficials here predicted this might hap.
pen. 1t was pointed out that this
was favorite trick of the Germans
when the British territorials from
Canada or Australia went into the
trenches for the first time.
The announcement from Genera!
Pershing gave no names of the. cas-
ualties. The announcement also
omitted to mention whether the
trench had been captured. 1t is pre-.
sumed however, that the attacking
force inflicted as much damage as
possible in short space of time and
then retreated to the protection OF
their own earthworks before Ameri'
can reinforcements could arrive.

body had been laid, a bulky envelope
fell out of the dead mans pocket.
MacBeard stopped hastily and was
about to transfer it to his own when
Donald intervened.

Cured to him that this must be the
document about which Masterman had

to think that Captain Masterman had
had him in his crazy mind, even be-
fore their accidental meeting, out Of
all his acquaintances.
MacBeard had placed his hand over
the envelope, as If to hide the ad-
dress; but, seeing that it was impos-
sible to deny Donald's assertion, he re-
piled:
Il suppose that you are the man
you claim to be, and can prove it? A
good many persons are anxious to
profit by Captain Masterman's discov-
cries."
The insolent challenge, and the
sneering tone awakened Donald's an

MISTAKEN FOR GRAND DUKE
"God Forbid, Am an Honest Mani"
Replied Russian Army Leader, in
Reply to Salutation.

An amusing story Is going the rounds
lin Petrograd just now concerning Cen
eral Brusiloff, who can be very direct
end brusque in his manner when he
chooses.
The army leader happened to be in
the capital on business-this was be-
fore the revolution-and was mistaken
by an officer passing for certain
grand duke of notortously pro- a-German
sympathy.
Coming smartly to the salute, the
officer, who probably, judging from his
manner, had some petition for pre-
ferment to present, led off with the re-
mark:
pardon me, sire, but 1 believe I am
addressing the Grand Duke So-and-
so?" :,
"God forbid" replied General 3ras-
iloff, II am an honest man.
And saluting gravely in his turn he

is intended to refer to dinner
given in 1854 by Uncle Sam tt
his nephews and nieces Of that
period. Since that time the members
of his family have increased slightly.
s'Twenty-two states are to dine to-
cether tomorrow. The invitations have
been out for month. The dinner is
Ct -en in honor of Connecticut the old
esr invited guest, who sits down to
the anniversary feast for the hundred
and fifth time. The table will be three
thousand miles lOng-so there is sure
to- he room. New Hampshire has
agreed to preside, at the upper end
in huge granite chair. The clergy OF
the Union will say grace two hours
beforehand. Thirty-six thousand
church bells have been arranged to
chime the music. The viands will be
various to suit all tastes-from ice at
the upper end to wines and fruits at
the lower. But the majority Of the
guests will probably make their dinner
of roast turkey and pumpkin pie, out
of compliment to old Connecticut, the
founder Of the festival.
1T must be a pleasant sight for her
to see the whole family gathered
around her table, with Uncle Sam,
about half way down, in the midst of
them. The old fellow Is pretty well
in years now (seventy-eight last july,
but still hale and hearty. thanks to an
excellent constitution. Virginia. his
eldest daughter "a well-meaning per-
son, though with a deal of family
pride, and very much given to talking
about her son George for which. how
ever, nobody can blame her). will have
a seat at his right hand. Texas, a
rough-and-ready sort Of backwoods-
man, has a place at the other end of
the table, and will probably contrive to
sit very close to Louisiana, one Of the
youngest and prettiest Of the old gem
tleman's nieces.
"Of course there have been idle sto-
rieS In circulation about this family.
as there are about all families. which
this gathering will do much to dispel.
Some, for instance, have asserted that
they were head over ears in debt, and
so near bankrupt that they could not
afford sugar In their tea. Uncle Sam
will chuckle at them well when he
pulls out a surplus Of $2O.OO0OOO
which he proposes to exhibit. Others.
again. have privately hinted that Mis-
sissippi has applied for divorce. and
that she is going to run away with
worth Jess adventurer. But her pres
ence at the dinner, smiling and con-
tented. will pretty effectually stop that
gossip. Others. again, pretend that
there is deadly quarrel between New

or three others. But you will see that

of a thousand visionary schemes by
which they think they are going to
make a great noise in the world by

at the moment. Perhaps, as mutual

man, we may take care Of his inter-
ests jointly"
AS Donald made no reply Of any
nature, MacBeard turned to the ply
sician, and had soon completed the
arrangements for the removal of the
body. Then he went to the clerk .
desk.
He held the envelope in his hand
still, and he was about to place it in
his pocket when his glance fell upon
a sentence Of the manuscript within.
Donald drew it forth and read:
In the event Of your hearing Of my sud-
| den death you must not delay a moment,
but go to my house at 166 ......... street
Baltimore. Above all, beware of Mac
Beard. He is an enemy of the human
race. So much have learned. but
Donald thrust the loose sheet into
his trousers pocket and replaced the
envelope, containing the rest of the
manuscript, in the inner pocket of his
coat just as MacBeard returned.
He would go 10 the house in Balti-
more, and see what there was to be
done. He knew Masterman had lived
there alone for years, in the intervals
between his voyages.
MacBeard came up to Donald with
a. smile of affected friendliness.
Il understand that there is no rec
ord of our friends address," he said
"Poor Masterman was a very retiring
man. No doubt we shall learn from
his friends in a day or two. I will
have an announcement published, and
have arranged for the funeral to be
held from Byam's undertaking estab-
lishment the day after tomorrow at
noon. Is there anything further to
be done?"
II hardly think so." answered DON
aid.
"Then II you can look in here to-
