masses OF Austro-German troops are
being thrown against the Italian
lines between the Piave and the
Brenta In an effort to drive a wedge
between the italian armies defending
the Piave line and those to the west,
in the Asiago region.
comparatively rapid progress has
been made In this operation within
the last day or two, and it is becom-
Ing clear that the main Austr6- Ter
man effort is centered at present
upon what is probably the most vul-
nerable point in the Italian defensive
line.
Quero, on the upper Piave, about
so miles from the coast. was taken
by the Invaders, who subsequently
pushed the left flank of their line
west to the; river considerable dist
ance south along the bank.
Further&west the massed offensive
movement has carried the Teutons to
Monte Tomba, some five miles south
Of Quero, and they are attacking the
front between this eminence and the
river with a force which the Italians
are finding 1T hard to cope with, de-
spite their4most desperate efforts.
Italian Line in Danger.
Should the Austro- German thrust
be carried much further here the en-
tire upper Piave line, from a point
near Coneagliano. approximately 35
miles from the Adriatic, will be in
Teutonic possession, and 1t is diff
cult to see how the Italians in this
case will be able to continue their
hold on the southerly stretches of
the river, which at present they are
bravely and successfully defending.
In the Eastern Trentino the It'll
ians have begun a counter offensive
on the Asiago plateau which already
has netted them gains. 1t is not ap-
parent as yet, however, that this
movement is in sufficient strength to
constitute any menace to the Austro-
German operations further east.
AlthoughSthe Teutonic pressure
from Asiago Feast to the-Piave con-
tinues very strong, the Italians hold
valiantly to- their positions and the
invaders have been unable to make
much progress.

CAMP SEWER QUARANTINED.
Several Gases Measles, Pneumonia,
and Meningitis.
(Greenville News, 17th.)

Major l.. D. Gasser, acting chief Of
stan. Tbirtieth division, authorized
the following statement last uight:
Due to an epidemic Of measles
and some few cases Of pneumonia
and meningitis, the soldiers will be
quarantined and not permitted to
leave the reservation nor visit Green
Vile, Camp Sewer or Paris.
"All amusement houses In the
reservation will be suspended and
not permitted to open, including tho
Y. NJ. G.. A. buildings, the knights Of
Columbus hall, the Hostess house
and all other such buildings.
"The post exchanges will hc .iosed
SO far as allowing men to ,uter. They
will be required to maxi openings SO
that the men can be served on tho
outside.
:. "The usual program Of instruction,
administration and supply will be
carried on.
"This quarantine does not prohibit
visitors from entering the camp, the
object being to prevent men from
gathering in closed buildings"
The quarantine goes into effect
Saturday morning.
Major Gasser stated over the tele-
phone last night that the situation
was not considered serious, but the
quarantine was decided upon as
precautionary measure. 1t is believ-
ed that the diseases will be entirely
eraiicated IN this way in the shortest
possible time. t&
The length OF the quarantine, Ma
jor Gasser thinks, will depend entire
cord the authorities.
The UNarantina pweantOp IN tta
nature. will be rigldly enforced and
applies to officers as we'll as men.

Situation Reported IN Hand. ~
Camp Sewer, Greenville, Nov. IS.
with the provisions Of the quaran-
tine strictly enforced the streets OF
Greenville were yesterday almost de-
serted of soldiers. At Camp Sewer
little out Of the ordinary could be
noticed, as the order does not inter
fere with drill or instruction, but
little OF this was going on 'vway, as
Saturday Is half holiday. Medical
authorities emphasize the l~ct that
the quarantine was ordered solely as
precautionary measure, and as the
quickest way OF dealing with the sit
uation. The number Of cases Of
measles developing daily has fallen
off considerably in the last few days,
| having been twice as large as at pres
ent, while there is less pneumonia
than was to be expected in view Of
the prevalence Of measles, and very
few deaths from this cause Cases
Of meningitis have all been sporadic
In their occurrence, and nothing Is to
be feared from this source. At seve-
raj other camps both the hospital ad-
mission and the non-effective rates
are higher. Venereal affection at
Camp Sewer is practically non-exist-
ent.

His ryNOunting of his own expert

would seem that the Jewish

universally recognized Is indicated
by the growth Of the Jewish mission

aroused on this subject We take 1t
that this community may be consid-

the Jews, 1t seems to us, should be a

me. The drafted men are Q: k, but
they cannot compare with the Greg

noe tt hat 4 have ha wit tssyszST he
drafted men In this camp) The
drafted men are always homesick
Regulars get homesick, too, but we
know what it means to be here, and
do not worry ourselves over the war
or home. We do what we are told to
do, and always try to be cheerful.
But 1t is different with the drafted
men we have here. My only hope Is
that every man from-tAe dear old
State Of South Carolina, and the men
from Oconee county, will all try and
be better soldiers than any OF the
regulars before them,. SO that when
the awful war Is over we will all
come home and have reunion and
talk over the experiences we have
had.
Now mother, will close by say
