Germans and Austrians
Join In Grand Offensive
Against Italian Lines

London, Oct. 24.-Germany has fin
ally, come to Austria s aid and started
with her ally of the dual monarchy a
powerful offensive along the Italian
front, according to both Rome and Ber-
lin dispatches today.
Berlin claimed that German troops
have captured "foremost Italian DO

Switzerland have declared that Emper-
or Charles was pleading with the kaiser
to lende him aid in opposing the steady
Italian advance.

Portland, Oct. 24.-Portland s cam
paign for the liberty bonds was famed
to fever heat here last night. The won
derful feature about it is that a motion
picture accomplished it. Remarkable as
was the speech of Cyrus Pierce, member
of the national speakers committee of
tho liberty loan, more striking was the
official French picture "In the Wake
of the Huns' whic absolutely gripped
and enthralled vast audience.
"In the Wake of the Huns" por-
trayed grippingly just what the Ger
mans have done to northern France and
Belgium first hand motion pictures of
outrages committed at one time actual
ly had the audience sobbing, working
it up to magnificent climax with the
victorious French troops advancing fin
ally enthusing completely the audience
with the first portrayal of American
troops in France. ''No Words of Mine,"
said Pierce, "Can be greater adver-
tisement for the liberty bonds than this
amazing picture portrayal of what Ger
many has done and would do to Amer
lea had she but the chance. " The Pierce
meeting is expected to give the Port
land campaign tremendous impetus.
