Drilling at University.

With a large part of the University
men eligible for the draft, and some
with the shadow of the national army
already hanging over them, the work
Of the military department of the Wyo-
ming University has been entirely re-
organized to nee these new army con-
ditions. Methods of instruction and
drilling have been made to conform
as nearly as possible to those in use
in the national c~antonments, and the
men in the present University battalion
who will make up the future quotas
from Wyoming will probably be much
better soldiers by reason of this ex-
perience and practical training while

Just rs the men in the environments

major divisions-the first consisting of

That every knitting mill in the Unit

Of turning out sleeveless sweaters is
now under contract with the Ameri-

these garments to its maximum ca
pacity, is the word wired from Wash

Red Cross in Denver. Local knitters
are not to feel, however, that the plac-
ing of these orders means hat their
handiwork is not also badly needed, or
that they may slacken their knitting.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September e.
Half a million Illustrated knitting
circulars were sent out today from
national headquarters to Red Cross
chapters throughout the country. The
circulars contain full information on
how to knit the eight standardized
articles, sleeveless sweaters, muftiers,
relmets, socks and bottle covers,
authorized by the Woman's Bureau OF
the Red Cross.
Recent cables from Major Grayson
Mp. Murphy, Red Cross commissioner
in France, again emphasizes the me-
cessity for warm knitted articles for
the men who face the hardships of a
winter in thetrenches. Army Off
GERS request that the knitted articles
be forwarded as soon as possible. The
severity of the winter with coal short
age to face and a rising tuberculosis
rate to combat demand that several
million garments reach France before
Thanksgiving.
The handbook issued by the Red
Cross are primarily for hand knitters.
Knitting machines may be used pro-
vided the articles can be well made
and made of the same yarn.
The circular is the first of a series

Copenhagen, Nov 3.--T'he American

The Stockholm quotation, which of

6 points below the equivalent Copen-

Some attribute II to the suspension

equal validity to the Danish exchange

DUKE OF ACOSTA GAINS
GREAT FAME IN RETREAT

Italian Headquarters in italy Fri
day. Nov. (by the Associated Press)
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures OF the Italian retreat TO the Tag
| liamento line was the manner In
which the third army, occupying tho
scutherly end of the old line, effected
its escape from the envelopments
threatened by the second army's en-
forced rearward movement.
| While the second army was stead
| lily giving ground in the earlier stages
Of the Austro-German thrust, the
third army had held its own. not
yielding a foot, although a heavy
bombardment had been kept up all
along It's front. When heavy enemy
artillery fire began to be heard first
on its left flank and then toward the
rear however, 1t was recognized that
the position was a precarious one for
such vast assemblage of men and
war material. This led TO serious
consideration of the question OF the
question of retirement, and 1t is be-
ioved the order was issued late on
October % or early next morning.
Even after the order to fall back was
issued, however the Duke of Acosta's
men stood to their guns, unwilling to
quit the field which they had won with
such heroic sacrifice, until the boom
Of the enemys guns began to be dis
tinctly heard toward the rear.
Then began the stupendous move
rnent rearward and sideward with the
enemy lowering close along the line
of withdrawal and Italian bersagliert
brigades sacrificing themselves to
permit the main columns to get clear
with their guns and munitions. The
movement was complicated by tho
fact that few of the main roads ran
east and west most of them running
north and south. Also there were but
three bridges across the Tagliamento,
which stream IL was necessary for the
colossal traffic to cross in moving
westward.
1t is the judgment of military cx-
pcrts that this removal uunder ordi-
nary conditions would require full
month, yet IL was accomplished with
in an almost incredibly small fraction
Of that period amid exhibitions of
fortitudc land displays of endurance
under hardships and inevitable suf-
fering almost without parallel.

army had become separated from the

Copenhaged, Nov, 3.--Two Danish
steamers that witnessed the engage
ment arrived tonight with twenty-one
survivors of the crew of the German
raider Crocodile. The fate of the re-
mainder of the Crocodiles crew and
of the crews of the trawlers is not
known.
One Of the Danish sailors gave the
following account of the incident
"on Thursday night at 10 o'clock
torpedo boats of undetermined ma
tionality were passed by the steamer
on which the narrator was seaman.
AT s O'Clock this morning cannonad-
ing was heard. Shortly afterward Brit
ish destroyers steamed by, bound
westward, a little while later British
destroyers were sighted firing west
ward at five German armed trawlers,
which were burning fiercely. There
were no signs Of life on board. All OF
them sank in sight of the Danes.
Fifteen minutes later they passed the
Crocodile, which was likewise aflame
and soon sank"
The steamer cruised about and
found a single survivor, clinging to a
plank and a bloodstained empty yawl
from the Crocodile. The survivor was
too exhausted to give a coherent ac-
count of the battle, but said that the
yawl had contained twenty men, most
of them wounded, who had been pick
ed up by another Danish ship. The
Crocodile, which was a new vessel
| had been disguised as neutral mer-
chairman and carried a deck load OF
asks. She probably was engaged in
an attempt to slip through the Brit
| sh Gordon and gain the open sea.
| The second Danish steamer arriv-
| ID soon after the first with the twenty
survivors from the yawl.
