sHoTGuNs FOR HOME DEFENSE
Owners Of Weapons Being Organized
Into Home Guard Units.

Washington, Iowa, Nov. 7-Do you
own a shotgun? II you do, and are pa
-triotically inclined, as all good Ameri-
cans are, you should join the National
Association Of Shotgun Owners" Of
which John Philip Sousa Is national
chairman.
A loyal organization Is being formed
and already about thirty Of this COM
munity have affixed their names to the
roll and received a small
brown button which indicates their
membership Mayor o. K. Mauek has
been one OF the leaders in the enter
prise. County Clerk J. D. Glasgow and
Deputy Sheriff G. v. Wallace are two
others who have been instrumental in
securing members. An organization
of at least a hundred men will be in
the Washington branch before the
membership lists are closed.
The shotgun owners are banding to-
gether essentially for home defense
purposes. No weapon is more effec-
tive in dispensing mobs than the shot
gun, and II enemies of the government
start anything rash in the community
they can expect to be pumped full of
buckshot from about hundred guns.
Washing ton Is left at the mercy Of an
alien organization since Company X
was called into the service, but the
shotgun owners will be on the Job.

Italian, Grenadiers :
Fight Until Last
Man is Ouercone
.rBy the Associated Press. /

IDy CIlo ASSOCldlcu IISSS'J
Italian Army.H Headquarters, Nov. g.
Again a brigade of grenadiers has COW
cred itself with glory, standing like q
rock in the face Of the advancing Aus
tro-German tide until it was over
whelmed.
After the enemy had crossed the
Tagliamento and was pressing on be-
tween Pordenone and Portogruaro, the
grenadiers were assigned to the task OF
holding up the advance in this region
No shelling from the enemy could dis
lodge them. They lay prone behind
brushwood calmly awaiting the foe.
AS soon as the enemy came within
range his ranks were swept with the
rifle fire of the grenadiers. The Aus
tro-German lines were filled up I'M
mediately and continued to advance IN
overwhelming waves.
AS they advanced the grenadiers
rose to their knees and hurled grenades.
The last surviving officer then or
dered bayonet charge. Without hest
tation the grenadiers dashed at the foe.
When last seen the few survivors were
using their rifles as clubs and were
fighting on one by one until all fell.
That did not occur, however, until they
had accomplished their task, for their
resistance delayed the enemy until the
Italian troops reached place Of safety
and were reformed for action

While interest in the state centered
in the suffrage election. the contest be-
tween Merton F. Lewis, republican, and
Devoe P. Hodson, democrat, for at

Copenhagen, Nov. 7:-An attempt is

Hungarian foreign minister, and Chan

Pope Benedict's peace note.
The Isonzo offensive has been reveal
ed as being even more political than
military in character. designed not only
to induce sentiment which will perhaps
force Italy to abandon the war but also
to bolster up the very shaky war spirit
in Austria and relieve the pressure
which Count Czernin has steadily ex-
ercised upon the German government to
conclude peace at almost any price.
