Those in Europe who are extending

Disaster to italian Arms No
Worse Than the First
Blow Struck by Germans
at Verdun.
Belief Prevails in Allied Cir
cles That Austro German
Army Will Be Unable to
Break Through New Line
of Defense.
BY j. w. r. MASON.
ritten for the United Press.)

(Written for the United Press)
New York, Oct 29.-The Austro-
Germans have won their first battle in
their effort to drive Italy out Of the
war, but the situation is no more seri-
Gus for the allied cause than were
the early successes Of the Germans
when they attempted to capture Yer.
dun and paralyze Frances morale.
The German thrust at yerdun caught
the French just as the Italians have
been taken unawares by the present
Teutonic offensive.
But as the French We're able to hold
firm after the first shock, SO may the
Italians maintain their new line when
the initial Teutonic impetus is spent.
NO LONG OFFENSIVE.
No such prolonged offensive can be
maintained by the Austro- Germans in
Italy as the Hohenzollern crown prince
continued against Nerdun because
neither men nor munitions are avail
able in such numbers and quantities.
This fact is to the advantage OF Cen
eral Cadorna, as is also the circum-
stance that the advance of the Teutons
is so bending the battle front as great
,y to shorten it.
The Italians, though losing heavily In
captured men an dguns, are now bet
.er able to concentrate their reserves
than when the Austro- German advance
began.
DIFFICULT COUNTRY.
Any superiority in leadership that
the Germans may present might he
more than counterbalanced by the fact
that the present Teutonic line of com
munications into Italy is through diff
ficult mountain country, where fatal
delays may occur. The Teutons have
advanced perhaps ten miles into Italy
along a five-mile front. The Italians
still hold five times this amount Of
Austrian territory to the west and south
of Goritz. Serious the situation un-
doubtedly is, but there is no reason vet
for extreme pessimisms.

They are dresses that demonstrate how pretty pipings and pockets may be and how much style they can contribute to the least experience of all frocks.

They have round, square and V-shaped necks. and are made with short kimono sleeves, and all in one piece.

record than the one of which Coombs boasts. The Brooklyn slabman has beaten McGraw's men Il games in a row.
 Manager McGraw let Demaree go two years ago because he believed he was not strong enough to be a steady and effective pitcher. He included him in trade which brought Hans Lo- bert, who now is utility player to the Giants. Immediately after he was traded to the Phillies Demaree set out to prove that he was a better pitcher than credited and one of the clubs he delighted to defeat was the Giants, and while he was member of the Philadelphia club he took 13 games from them.
 Demaree started this season sue cessfully against McGraw's club by beating them with seven hits and win ming his fourteenth game. It is Mitch ellis hope that he keeps up the good work and if he does he will be a big ger New York Giant killer than Pies ter or Lavender ever dared to be.

There is quite a variety in aprons, designed for different occupations in the business of everyday life. All the way from the trim, overall apron that bespeaks efficiency and neatness in housewOrk, to the little and frivolous tea aprons that suggest leisure and cozy hospitality, this regalia of the home meets the needs of each hour. Kitchen and housework aprons make a story by themselves. All the rest may be classed together to make an other story.

 "'Why don't you go to bed, Frank?' I said. If I had as much money as you, I wouldn't worry whether the fel- lows got in on time or not
 Chance glanced at the clock. Go to bed yourself,' he snapped. You're breaking rules And me sitting up to keep him company Can you beat it?
 And could Chance call a fellow?' continued Hoffman. "Well, rather. I remember we had three-game series with the Giants one week, and Ritchie went in to pitch for us. He won it.
 "Right after the battle Chance told him he'd have to work the third, too. Meaning he'd get only one day of rest in between. Ritchie was willing.
 '"The night after he won Ritchie stayed out late. and what he didn't get in the clubhouse was a caution. Chance landed into him proper. He told him there wasn't chance for him
