AUSTRO GERMANS MAKING TERRIFIC EFFORTS ID BREAK CADORNA'S FRONT Reports From Rome Admit Retirement and Serious
 ness of Situation
 Realized
BRITISH MAKE LOCAL GAIN IN FLANDERS
 AND HOLDING FIRM
Official Statement From Paris Tells of Advance by Petain's Army

By the Associated Pres.

Paris, October 27.-An-
 other powerful drive by the
 French troops today on the
 Ypres-Dixmude road re- suited in the capture of sev-
 eral villages and a great
 number of fortified farms, according to tonight's an-
 nouncement by the war of flee. An additional advance was made along the Aisne front, including the occupa- |tion of Froidmont farm. 1 Associated Press Summal Italy's mettle is beil critically tested by a treme |dous Teutonic drive und |the command of Emper Charles of Austria on the Isonzo front, with what seems virtually the entire Austrian army and strong German forces.
 
 From the first blow General Ca dorna's second army has suffered a Iserious shock, and Berlin claims the defeat of this section of the Italian forces, from which it announces the capture of no less than 6O,00O men and 450 guns.
 These grave losses seem to bear out the German claim as to the fate of this Italian army, but apparently the crucial hour has not yet come which will de- ternline whether the Austro- erman host can be held at the mountain passes and prevented from overflowing into the feraile plains of yenezia.
 Semi-offcial utterances reveal that all possible preparations have been made in Rome to meet the great emergency Each day, however, sees teh invading arr mics making additional way. Com manding Italian heights along the bor- der east and northeast of ToImino are beginning to fall, while Berlin claims that virtually the entire Italian Isonzo front has been shrunken. The British in Flanders were engaged Saturday in making secure the positions
 they won Friday. the most important of which was that on the Bellevue spur west of Passchendaele, valuable doml-
 hating ridge brilliantly taken and held by the Canadians in hard fighting. The French on the Flanders front are further ahead Saturday, capturing Ger
 man trenches north of the objectives reached on Friday.
 The Russians are continuing to move ahead ir, the Riga region apparently with some caution

 THRILLED AT NEWS
 FROM THE FRONT
War Department Will Make No Comment on Persh- ing's Report Move
 Evidently Expected
By the Associated Press

Washington, October 27. The nation was thrilled to- day by word that American troops at last were face to face with the Germans across No-Man's-Lan An nouncement by General Pershing that several bat 'talions of his infantry were in the front line trenches, supported by American bat teries, which already had gone in action against the enemy, famed a new flame of patriotism through the country.
 The absolute silence with which Secretary Baker and war department officials greeted the news, however, showed that although the movement into the trenches had been expected at any time, it was regarded only as the final phase of the mems training
 "a military finishing school con ducted under fire, school of blood and iron. German shells are break ing above the Americans and, all though they have not taken over the trench sector, rifles, machine guns, bombs and bayonets in American hands will greet any enemy attack.

NOT . ESSENTIAL ID WAR
 CONDUCT LIMITED Drastic and Far-Reaching Order Is Made by Gov ernment to Relieve the
 Car Shortage

Washington. October 27.-Thc gov
 ernment tonight took steps to restrict ] enterprises not essential to conduct of
 the war by forbidding use of open top freight cars on and after November I for transportation of materials for | roads and highways. theatre construc- ton and manufacture of pleasure ve- 1 hicles, furniture and musical instru- mcnts.
 The restriction C: nonessentials was imposed through an order, issued by Robert S. Lovett, priority director of the war industries board, prcilpiting the use of open top cars, excepting for the cars carrying any of the specified materials for private orders. Coal is exempted and the order does not apply to ship ments for the government, or to ship ments in closed box cars.
 TO RELIEVE CAR SHORTAGE The order is expected to provide early relief for the car shortage which has affected the transportation "of coal, coke, ore. limestone, sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum cane and raw materials for use in the metal sugar and fertilizer industries, and other commodities neces- sary to the national defense and secur- ity' Heretofore. said Judge Lovett's or der. the transportation of these ma terials has been hampered by insistence of manufacturers on cars for nonessen- tials.
 ARTICLES AFFECTED Articles affected by the order follow:
 Materials and supplies. other than coal, for the construction, maintenance or re-
 pair of public or private highways, road ways. streets or sidewalks. "Msterials and supplies, other than coal. for the construction, maintenance
 or repair of theatres or other buildings or structures to be used for amusement purposes.
 Materials and supplies. other than coal for the manufacture of pleasure ve- hicles. furniture or musical instruments.
 Passenger vehicles. furniture and mu- sical instruments.'
 The most drastic effect of the order probably will be to stop many pubic road and street building enterprises. Automobile manufacturers also will feel the effect of the government action to some extent, since open top cars have been used for carrying metal products Most material for furniture and musical instrument production, however is transported In closed cars. The scarcity Of box cars within the past two years
 has led to increasing use of open top
 cars for many materials.

of the reservoir lake-that-is-to-be.
They're doing it so that they can get

call it, and then Well have to buy them

Off"
Smith was by this time entirely ia
miliar with the maps and profiles and
other records of the ditch company's
lands and holdings.
"All the land within the limits Of the
flood level has been bought and paid
for-some Of 1t more than once, hasn't
it?" he asked.
"Oh, yes; but that doesn't make any
difference. These men will claim that
their location was made long ago, and
that they are just now getting ready
to work 1t. It's often done in the case
Of mining claims"
"When is all this going to happenw
he inquired.
ut is already happening" she broke
out impatiently. "Mr. Martin said
the three men left town little after
bridge to go up on the other side Of
the Timanyoni."
The young woman had taken, her
place again behind the big tiller wheel
and Smith calmly motioned her out
Of It.
"Take the other seat and let me get
In here" he said; and when she had
changed over, he swung in behind the
wheel and put foot on the clutch
pedal.
"What are you going to do?" she
asked.
"Im going to take you on up to the
camp. and then, II you'll lend me this
car. I'll go and do what you hoped to
persuade Williams to do-run these
mining-claim jokers into the tall TIM
ber."
"But you can't I" she protested; "you
can't do it alone And, besides, they
are on the other side Of the river, and
you can't get anywhere with the car.
You'll have to go all the way back to
Brewster to get across the river!"
It was just here that he stole an
other glance at the very-much-alive
little face behind the motor veil; at
the firm, round chin aud the resolute
slaty-gray eyes.
II suppose I ought to take you to
the camp" he said. "But you may 60
along with me, II you want to-and
are not afraid"
She laughed in his face.
