BOY OF CHESTERFIELD TYPE
Newsy Divides His Papers With Pals,
Also Remembers Arresting Off
Ger on Reaching Station.

A policeman with kindly eyes, but
a Spartan sense of duty, was towing
a small boy to the nearest station, says
the Washington Star.
A flock of other boys tagged be-
hind.
The criminal grinned with nervous
bragadocio. Each boy was human
geyser of sympathy and the whole
show, from a strictly scenic viewpoint,
supplied comic supplement tempest
of the sort we know about-with the
teapot left out.
AS he reached his last edge Of free,
dom the prisoner passed over batch
of newspapers to the nearest boy with
orders to divide them all arOund-eX
cept one. He handed that one to the
policeman.
The officer accepted the courtesy.
Then he ordered the boys to return the
papers. Then he gave the criminal
goOd-humored shake and told him to
be off.
"And don't let me catch you scrap
ping again, you little scamp you'll"
And the little scamp took to his

Charm Is Necessary.

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, the great
French actress, in a signed article in
Harper's Bazaar, attributes the numer-
Gus divorces that have come into the
courts of late years to lack of charm
in the women concerned.
IF l stood at the threshold of life,"
says Nine. Bernhardt, asking of it
something with which to buy happi-
ness, should beg for charm. For if
one has charm, she will be loved. And
a woman must have love to be happy.
Beauty does not matter. If woman
has charm she can secure whatever
she wants-love, success, power"
The divine Sarah also says that this
invaluable quality can be cultivated.

Grafton in furnishing needed supplies,
official Italian cables Indicate
It is apparent that the tremendous
Teuton drive into Italy has created UNI
rest among the allied powers in the
near east, whose situation would be
critical should Germany deliver a
crushing blow to Italy.
Premier Venizelos of Greece is in
Rome now with prominent Greek
statesmen comforting with officers Of
the allied powers.
He said he will visit other allied
capitals before calling general mobi-
lization of the Greek army.
Allies Awake to Danger.
Fully awake to the acute danger in
the Italian situation, all the allied
powers are cooperating to thwart the
kaiser's obvious effort to bring about
peace between Germany and her Bal
kan enemies and devote his entire at
tention to get Britain, France and
America.
Secretary Baker announced that
France and England have sent large
reinforcements" to help Italy.
Secretary Lansing announced an ex-
tension Of $5,0O0,000 American credit
to Rumania, to be handled through
the Russian embassy until the Ruma-
MAN minister, now en- route here, ar.
rives. Further plans for helping Ru
mania are being laid at a conferences
in London.
Will Cooperate.
Assurances of full cooperation with
Greece are given. Recent adyices
quote the kaiser as promising Con-
stantine restoration of his Greek
throne.
Italian cables throw little light on
the situation along the Tagliamento
river. General Robertson of the Brit
ish staff and General Foch of the
French army have arrived in Rome
for conferences. Newspapers indicated
that the main body of Teuton forces
is not yet in contact with the Italians
along the river stronghold and that
the critical battle will not be fought
for some days.

Presence No Longer Secret.
The Western battle front crosses

artillery range of the German boun
dairy of Lorraine. By revealing the
spot where Teutonic raiders found the
American trenches, the kaiser has
been compelled to permit the Ger

battle fields must have caused demo

empires own soil.
German Ground ShelIed.
The first announcement that Amer
lean artillery had been engaged in
action in France was made on Octo
per II, while the date of the German
raid on American trenches was No
vember 8. For at least a week, there
fore, before the Germans sent patrol
to investigate the sudden activity
opposite the Lorraine border, Ameri
can guns must have had German
ground under actual or potential bonn
bardment
This is doubtless the reason why
the Germans took such unusual mea,
sures to raid the American trench
sector by providing a barrage artil
lery fire and cutting off the American
victims from all possible help during
the period of the raid. Artillery am
munition is too precious to Germany
to be thrown away in this costly
manner of attack. The damage, how.
ever, that American shells had prob
ably been doing on German soil for at
least a week makes applicable the
apparently reckless expenditure of
barrage fire to assist party of raid

From North On Italian

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Nov. 6.-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 a
mass attack from the north.
cadorna's Right Wing Threatened.
Austro-Germa forces operating
against the Italians along the Taglia-
mento 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 fording of the river, says 5000
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 bank of the
stream.
There is no indication whether Gen
eral Cadorna intends to try to main
tain the Tagliamento line. 1t is not
improbable his stand here is tempo
rary while positions of much greater
strength are being prepared in the
rear. There has been no official state
ment since the retreat from the Isonzo
began concerning the spot chosen by
Cadorna for turning against the en-
envy.

= London, Nov. 6.-The admiralty
announces a British sea victory from
the North sea in which one German
cruiser and 10 armed patrol boats
were sunk.
Germans Overwhelmed.
According to Copenhagen dispatches
describing the action, the German
auxiliary cruiser sunk was the Marie
of Flensburg Tor Flensborg). She was
literally overwhelmed by the deadly
accuracy and rapidity of the British
fire and sank, aflame, 10 minutes after
starting the engagement.
Survivor Talks.
Her commander, Captain Lauter-
bach, was one of the seven German
survivors brought into Copenhagen
wounded.
"My vessels four guns were almost
unavoidable because of the hail of fire
which the enemy destroyers cen
tered on u.s." he declared. 1--WE were
soon a mass of flames."'
At Jutland Battle Scene.
The admiralty statement located
the sea battle as occurring in the Kat
tegat-an arm of the North sea, just
adjacent to the Skagerrat, where
was fought the famous battle of Jut'
land earlier in the war.
Copenhagen placed it still more
definitely as occurring II miles north
of kullen or to the north of Gothen-
burg.
Enemy Life Loss Heavy.
The loss of life on the German yes.
sells must have been very great. Co.

crew of 81 aboard the cruiser were
killed outright.
