Stores and Bridges
Destroyed by Italians
in Retreat From Carso
By Associated Press

London, No. ALI the British
guns with the Italian army were saw
ed, according to a British correspon-
dent at Italian headquarters, who
says that the spirits of the British
gunners are good. Lack of trans
port which could not be allotted to
them was their whole trouble. One
gun was SO near to having to be
abandoned that the breach mechan-
ism was destroyed. However, the
gun was saved eventually.
The correspondent, who accom-
panied the retreat of the third Ital-
ian army from the CarSo, in a dis
patch dated Tuesday says thar the
troops were cheerful and good tenn
pered and it was evident that firm
ness of command could reorganize
them into fighting force. The Duke
of Aosta, commander of the third
army, was calm and confident Mon
day night as his army had saved
nearly all its guns.
The right wing of the second army
also fell back regularly from Sa-
botin and Gorilla. The troops on the
lett of the second army also were re-
firing steadily from their mountain
positions so as to get into line with
the left of the new defensive front
The italian general staff, the writer
says naturally mas placed a severe
ban on all descriptions of what hap
pened during the last few DAYS. hut
has permitted the sending of a de-
scription of the destruction of ItaI-
ian stores. The correspondent saws:
The sky was constantly springing
into livid flare like an instantanc-
Gus sunset followed by deep grum-
bling roar. The vast clouds of smoke
were outlined against the glowing
heavens. Ammunitions depots We're
being blown up, stores were being
burned and bridges destroyed The
glare of explosions gave light 10
ghastly brilliance over the throngs of
the retreating army.
"A rainstorm broke and lasted for
three hours, often with extreme vio-
lence. 1t added to the hardships Of
the retreat, already severe enough.
and must have meant death to many
of those wounded while covering the
retreat. But ii delayed the enemy's
advance by swelling the rivers.
softening the ground to mud and
making air reconnaissances and
bombing raids on congested roads
and railways impossible. Such are
the outlines of the story of which full
Ter details are not permitted.
The situation undoubtedly is
grave but the silence which the inter
ests of the army now impose must
not be construed as an indication
that things are worse than they
actually are. The blow has been
severe but it will not crush Italy"

way to ondon. Meanwhile the fifth
group crossed the Essex coast at
about 1915 a. m, and steered to-
ward London by way of the north
bank of the Thames. Some of these
raiders were turned back by the
outer defenses, but one or more
penetrated into southeast London,

The sixth group followed along
the same course about quarter of
an hour later. Some of these ma
chimes penetrated into the southeast
outskirts of London where some
bombs were dropped. Meanwhile
one or more enemy machines drop
ped bombs in the southwestern out
skirts of london. The seventh
group which approached along the
south bank of the Thames was uis-
persed by gunfire before reaching
The outer London defenses.
In addition, individual raiders
attacked the Kentish coast betweeo
midnight and 1.3O O'Clock. reports
indicate that each group consisted
of three or four machines, the total
of raiders engaged being
about thirty. OF this total only
about three machines succeeded in
actually penetrating into the heart
of London. The raiders were har-
rassed by our guntire during the
whole of their flight, and were also
by our aircraft. The facility
with which they were able to escape
by taking advantage of
the clouds prevented any decisive
engagement.
Full reports have not yet been
received but those already furnished
point to comparatively light casual
ties and damage, considering the
of the machines and the de-
termined nature of the attack"

is less enthusiastic in its war bulle-
tins.
If the Germans counted upon in
ternal disorder in Italy helping to
open the way to Lombardy, it has
been disappointed as all indications
point to n strengthening of the Ital-
ian national feeling. The govern
ment and people of Italy as well as
the government of France, Great
Britain and the United States are
bending every effort to give the Ger
mans blow for blow on the Venetian
plains, the fighting ground of the
early campaigns of Napoleon against
Austria.
Artillery Fighting
The French in their successful Of
fensive north of the Aisne in the
direction of Laon last week captured
12,157 prisoners. including 237 Off
GERS. The guns taken numbered
$50. There has been little infantry
fighting in this region and the Ger
man crown prince has been unable
to carry out counterattacks of any
strength. The artillery duel con-
tinues violent.
Won Hertling Undecided
Count Won Hertling has not ac-
cepted the German imperial chan
cellorship pending conferences with
Reichstag leaders. Reports from
Germany by way of Amsterdam and
Copenhagen indicate that the Bavar-
ian premier will have difficulty in
getting even a working majority in
the Reichstag. where various leaders
are much opposed to him. His atti-

Take Bcersheba
Advices from Palestine that with
the advent of favorable weather the
British are resuming their active
campaign up the Syrian coast. The
capture by British troops of Beer
sheba, approximately forty miles
southwest of Jerusalem, is reported
in an official statement to-day.
When the operations in Palestine
halted last spring the British had
pushed up the coast from the Sinai
peninsula to the gates of GAIA. on
the coast in Southern Palestine,
while in interior Palestine their COL
umns had advanced on q virtually
parallel front to the vicinity of Beer
sheba. There were reports that there
had been n penetration as far north
ward as Hebron. which is less than
twenty miles from Jerusalem, but
apparently there was no definite ad-
vance of the British main force to
this point.
Reports early last month stated
that the British and revolving Arab
forces from the southern interior
had effected a junction in Southern
Palestine and that combined opera
tions by these forces against the
Turks might be expected shortly.
Infantry fighting on the French
front last night was of limited ex-
tent. The most important was an
attack by the Germans northwest of
Rheims. This effort made against
small posts north of the Loivre. was
repulsed by the French.

RAISING"
Answer: For many years I have
placed reliance in the formula known
as ive-grain arbolone tablets packed
in sealed tubes with full directions
for home use. Some have reduced as
much as forty pounds in a few weeks.
c. o. c. asks: II am constipated,
tongue coated. have headache. dizzy
spells and Indigestion some times.
Please adviser"
Answer, I advise that you begin
using three-grain sulpherb tablets
(not sulphur). These tablets are
laxative. act on the liver, kidneys and
bowels and tend to keep the blood
pure. by arousing the eliminative
functions. Relief should follow
quickly.

oAnuIuH. useu pain yelloW mlnyol
and three treatments cured me. Now,
want to know IL 1 can increase my
weight about 80 pounds?"
Answer: have very frequently ad-
vised thin, aenemic, bloodless people
to use three-grain hypo-nuclane tab
lets at meal times. They assist diges-
tion, increase the nutritive processes
and give strength and flesh to such
people. Several months treatment is
essential to produce results.

this evening says:
FOLLOWING on these of Monday
night and yesterday morning, an
other raid into Germany was carried
out by our machines last night. On
this occasion. the steel works and
station at Volklingen (Rhine prov
ince of Prussa) were attacked with
excellent results. Direct hits were
observed on a furnace and power
house and on train. The weather
which was brilliant during the early
part of the raid, turned later into
rain and snow. In spite of this all
of our raiding machines returned,
except one"
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-11-01

Answer. In all such cases the ASST
initiative functions have not kept
place with waste functions and a
powerful harmless tonic treatment is
needed. l find three-grain cadomene
tablets uneXcelled and astonishingly
beneficial in such cases and advise
them for you.
Laura" saws: Some tima ago 7
contracted very severe cold and
cough. have tried many remedies,
but they do not seem to helm me at
all. 1 wish you would advise me what
to do"
Answer: What you need is a laxa-
tive cough syrup, one that will drive
the cold from your system. The fol-
lowing prescription will check your
cold and cough: Get a az pack
age of concentrated essence mentho-
tions on the bottle. Take a teaspoon
full every hour or two or until your
cold is better. This will relieve you
in very few days.

is followed by burning pain and am
very tender and sore over region of

Answer: think If you will take
balmwort tablets regularly for a few
weeks your kidneys and bladder will
become normal and such symptoms
vanish. This is unequalled for such
complaints in my estimation.

YUMA VALLEY IS
COMING 10 FRONT
AS FERTILE REGION

The Yuma Valley of Arizona, under
national reclamation has forged rapid
~ to the front as one of the rich and
fertile regions of the Southwest. The
change from the old haphazard me-
thods which prevailed during the per-
iod when private irrigation systems
were operated to the present condi-
ton of intensive and practical farm
ing under the Government canals is
marked. This change is particularly
gratifying to the Reclamation Service
at Washington, D. C.
Last years crop report is most
interesting document and predicates in
a measure the results which will OBJ
tain when 100000 acres are prepared
for crop. In 1916 the total area crop
ped was 2S,2S3 acres, and the gross re
turns amounted to SLABS, 4O3, or an
average of S5O.75 per acre. Alfalfa
constituted the most important crop
in acreage and gross returns, the
yield of hay on 1880 acres being
$266,898, or S25 per acre, and from
seed grown on $500 acres the returns
were 1925, 725, or $4O.57 per acre.
The highest average return was
from cotton and seed, 800 per acre.
On 1870 acres 2,2S9, 43O lbs. of cotton,
or an average of 400 lbs, per acre were
produced, and the gross value was
1897, APO. The average yields per acre
of other crops were as follows: Beans,
$44; Truck, STA; Indian corn s24; Corn
sorghum, SIS; Wheat, S22. The best
evidence of better farming is shown
by the fact that the average return
per acre in 1916 was As per cent great
