CONTINUE TO FIGHT
DESPITE DISASTERS
Although Italy Narrowly
Escaped the Fate of
Her Ally, Russia

Rome, Nov. 9.-Italy will continue
to fight until the end despite the eff
forts of German propaganda and the
disaster on the Isonzo front, in the
opinion of official circles here The
government must fight the effects of
Austrian and German propaganda as
well as do all in it's power to drive
the enemy from Italian SOIL
It is felt here that Italy narrowly
escaped the fate Of Russia, as it is
believed the campaign carried on to
destroy the spirit of the army and
the people reached its height wher
the Austro-German blow was struck
in the Julian Alps. Political hatreds
have been healed and in the future
all parties will work together earn
estly with the intention of securing
victory.
The first alarming sign of internal
trouble was the outbreak in Turin last
August which was effectively put
down. Since the Isonzo defeAt the
authorities have learned that anti
British and antl-Italian propaganda
was widely circulated throughout
Italy. Austrian aviators dropped
bombs over italian trenches contain
ing propaganda and peace literature.
The propaganda campaign also was
carried on through the many Ger
man citizens who were permitted to
remain in Italy as residents. It has
been discovered that German agents
were able to hire Italians for the
purpose of destroying munitions
factories and defenses, blowing
UP battleships and revealing troop
movements and portions Of the
battle front slightly held. During the
recent retreat 1t was noted that the
Austro- G Germans possessed detailed in
formation concerning the number Of
italian troops and their positions.

OVERLAND RACE AGAINST DEATH

Death. AS soon as he was apprised
by telegraph of his mothers fatal
illness he secured furlough, drove
by auto $50 miles across the desert
from the fort to the nearest railroad
station, and then took the fast east
bound express. At New Britain he
also engaged an automobile to hurry
him to his mothers home, but arrived
too late.
Mrs. Contois, who was 55 years of
age was a native of ST. Lossaire,
Canada, and in this city was men,

The funeral will be held at o'clock
Monday morning from st. Mary's

POLITICAL PEACE.
Trouble i'm Berlin Has Been SmOOthed
Over and Everything Is Fine.

Berlin, Friday, Nov. 9, Via London,
Nov 1O.-Dr. Karl Helfferich, tho
vice. chancellor, has capitulated and
political peace once more has been re-
stored. The cabinet containing Count
Won Hertling as chancellor, Friedrich
Won Payer as vice-chancellOr and Herr
F'riedberg, as vice president of the
Prussian ministry means a virtual
coalition liberal government.
The clerical, national liberal and
progressive parties are represented
actively in the cabinet. The socialists
accept the appointment of Won Payer
as evidence that Count Won Hertling is
willing to work with the present group
of Reichstag majority parties, but
they are reserving to themselves COM
plete liberty of action. The conserva-
tives are the only important Reichstag
action not having Il member in the
new government, which may be said
to mark the active initiation of the
first parliamentary cabinet in Prussia.
and Germany.
Chancellor Won Hertling returned to-
day to Munich where he will assist in
the reorganization of the Bavarian
ministry, from which he retires

Miss Emily Pepper of New Britain
Hospital Marries National Army
Man On "a Hour F'urlough.

Wednesday night John Buell.. who
is one Of the National Army men sta
toned at Aver, Mass, was granted g.
"a hour furlough. Friday morning
he answered present when his name
was called at the cantonment. But
during those "a hours he had been a
very busy man.
In the short space of time which he
had been permitted to leave the
camp he had become benedict. He
came to New Britain and from here
he went to Waterbury In company
with Miss Emily Pepper, head nurse
Of the maternity department at tho
New Britain General hospital. In
that city they were married quietly
Thursday afternoon by Rev. Mr.. Ben
edict Of the Methodist church. Shortly
after the ceremony had been per-
formed he returned to Camp Devens.
Mr.. Buell. before he was selected
as member Of the draft army, was
engaged in the hardware business in
Waterbury. He expects to be trans
ferred to a Southern training camp
for the winter. Mrs. Buell. will con
tinue her duties at the local hospita
until her husband comes back from
the war.

Situation Acute in Some Cities.

\SpeClal TO the Hefald)
Hartford, Nov. 1O.-Thomas w.
Russell, federal fuel administrator for
Connecticut and chairman of the coal
committee of the Connecticut State
Council of Defense reports that the
task of organizing the fuel admins
tration throughout the state has been
nearly completed. In addition to the
state advisory committee, named last
week, 21 local committees have been
appointed, one for nearly every town
and city in Connecticut having a pop
ulation of 10000 or over. One of
these committees has already made
recon as to the retail
prices Of coal and its report has been
submitted to Washington. other rec
concentrations are expected soon.
The coal committee of the council
reported that the situation in regard
to anthracite coal is becoming acute
in several localities, notably Bridge
port, Stamford, Norwalk, Middletown
and Stratford 1t expects relief in a
few days, however, as a result of the
federal order issued last week to the
mine operators of Pennsylvania that
they cease sending coal to the Great
Lakes and begin shipm ents to New
England.
The situation is still more acute in
the case of bituminous coal and at
least one factory in Connecticut has
had to close down as result of the
shortage. At present the outlook for
consumers who have not made con-
tracts in advance is considered rather
discouraging.

Before one of the greatest crowds
ever attending a High school football
game here the elevens representing
New Britain and Hartford are bat
tling this afternoon for the supremacy
Of the Interscholastic league on the
gridiron at St. Mary's Fairgrounds.
Confidence was in evidence on all
Sides Throughout the city this af-
ternoon, the Red and Gold Of New
Britain and the Blue and White OF
the Capitol City school were every
where seen, presenting pretty spec
tacle The visiting eleven, with
coaches and subs, arrived here shortly
after / o'clock and repaired at once
to their dressing quarters to prepare
for the big battle. On every face,
confidence was written, and Coach Fox
and Captain Dunn could see nothing
but victory for the unbeaten Hartford
eleven. The roofing section of the
visiting delegation made their pres
ence known Immediately on arrival.
New Britain Expects Victory.
While all this was going on, the
New Britain team was making prepar-
ations for going forth to battle With
their bitterest rival Every man from
Captain Macristy to the little fellow
who carried the water was confident
that history would repeat and the
home lads administer just one more
beating to their rivals. The locals
were never In better condition than
today, and Coach Bearce was in a very
confident mood when the squad left
for the field.
AS an enlivener, the American Band
rendered selections at Central Park
and this tended to create much en-
thusiasm. Every car bound north
ward was. packed and the autos
carrying fans were decorated with the
colors of the opposing teams The
splendid showing Of the Hartford High
team this year instilled into their fol-
lowers plenty Of conversation but
when it came to talking business from
a financial standpoint, local sportsmen
were found in abundance.
Goetz Best Visiting Pumter.

ran through signal practice and then

/ whom the visiting team will rely for
