ITALIANS ARE BATTERED
ALONG 20-MIlE FRONT
IN TEUT0N OFFENSIVE

BERLIN, Oct. 25.-Re-enforced by
more than half OF a million seasoned
veterans a mighty Austro-German
army on the Italian front is today
battering the Ita'isn battle line over
front of twenty miles in an effort
to break through.
This new offensive. which is re-
ported to have been planned by Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg, has already
resulted in important gains for the
Teutons around F'litsch, Tolmein and
the northern slope of the Bainsizza
plateau.
More than $500 Italian prisoners
have been captured, according to an
unofficial dispatch from the battle
zone.
II the Teutonic armies are success
full in their drive the Italian hold
upon Gorilla and Monte San Gabrielle
will be perilously menaced and the
Italian pressure against Trieste will
be materially less~ned If not removed
entirely.
The war office statement on the
operations against the Italians is the
first to come from this official source
since the entrance OF Italy into the
war.

Of big caliber began bombarding the
Italian positions in the TyrOlean and
Carnic Alps and along the upper

today. Three opinions were advanc.
ed:
That the Teutons are undertaking a
strategic maneuver to bolster UP the
dropping spirits OF the German and
Austro-Hungarian populations;
That 1t is a military operation to

the western front; or,
That II Is an effort at a real Of
fenslve in which all the available re-
sources of Germany and AustrIa-H Hun
gary will be thrown into the scale to
defeat Italy.
Although the situation on the Rus
sian front has enabled the Austro-
Germans to move large numbers OF
re-enforcements in both men and guns
from that theater of war to the
Italian fighting zone, supreme confl-
dence is felt in Rome that the drive
will fail and that same confidence Is
echoed here and in Paris.

dier prisoners OF Irish nationality In
one camp at Limburg, not far from
Frankfort g. N. There efforts were

Sir Roger Easement, who, working
with the German authorities, tried
to get these Irishmen to desert their

another Irishman had been shot by

and the same obstacles to my inves-

The Irishmen did not bear confine-
ment well, and at the time of my
visit among them many of them were
suffering from tuberculosis in Nthe
camp hospital. They seemed also
peculiarly subject to mental break
downs. Two devoted Catholic priests,
Father Crotty and a Brother Warren.

were doing wonderful work among
these prisoners.
bad Eject of Working Prisoners.
The sending out of the prisoners of
war to work throughout Germany
has had one very evil effect. 1t has
made it to the financial advantage of
certain farmers and manufacturers to
have the war continued. The Prussian
land owners or Junkers obtain four
or five times as much for their ag-
ricultural products as they did be-
fore the war and have the work on
their farms performed by prisoners
OF war TO whom they are required to
pay only cents a day. When the
Tageblatt called attention to this II
was suppressed for several days.
At many OF these so-called working
camps our inspectors were refused
admission on the ground that they
might learn trade or war secrets.
They succeeded, however, in having
the men sent outside. in order that
they might inspect them and hear
their complaints. There were in Ger
many about 100 central camps and
perhaps 10000 or more so-called
working camps in summer time
throughout the country. Some of
the British prisoners were put to
work on the sewage farm OF Berlin.
but We succeeded in getting them
sent back to their parent camp.
The prisoners OF war were often
accused OF various breaches OF disci.
pline and crimes. Members of the
embassy would attend these trials
and We endeavored to see that the
prisoners were properly represented.
But the Germans often refused us an
opportunity to see the prisoners be-
fore their trial, or even before their
execution. The case OF Captain Fry
att is in point.
