GRAVE INROADS
BY GERMANS ON
ITALIAN ARMY
NO LESS THAN $4,000 PRISON
ERS AND $50 GUNS HAVE BEEN
LOST TO POWERFUL AUSTRO-
GERMAN FORCES.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

With the Italian Army, Oct. IL
Virtually the entire Austrian army,
reinforced by Germans, is facing the
Italian army in the greatest often
siye of the war. 1t is clear the Teu-
tons sought to make a surprise at
tack. The Italian forces are COM
paratively small at the outmost linz
its on lines along the Isonzo front.
The Teutons early penetrated the po-
sitions, but now are faced by low
range of mountains, and passes,
strongly held by heavily reinforced
Italians, and the whole operation
pivots on the possibility of -,eutons
driving through the passes leading to
the level plains. All indications are
the Italians can hold the Teutons
against further advance.
The German Claims.
Grave inroads upon the Italian ter
ritory are being made by the powerful
Austro- German army that broke
northern Isonzo front. Already. ac-
cording to BeT.in. no less than &C. 1000
prisoners and 45c guns have been
taken.
The German official statement de-
clares the second Italian army has
been defeated and that almost the
entire Isonzo front of the Italians
we'll down to the Carso is imperilled
by the Austro-Germ thrust
1t is semi-officially admitted in
Rome that the situation is considered
extremely serious, with the enemy
northwest of the Gorilla vigil on the
road to Cividale, which is Some five
miles within Italian territory, and
seeking an opening to force ms way
through to the Italian plains. At
Itacks also have been begun farther
South on the Carso front, but these
have been repulsed by the Italians.

., LOST IN CAMPECHE
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS


New Orleans, Oct. 27.-The Ameri-
can steamer Olympic, owned by the
Mexican Fruit and Steamship Com
PAM, with headquarters here. foun-
.eered during heavy gale last Tues
day morning about 80 miles off
Puerto Mexico, in the Gulf of Cam
peche, and one lifeboat containing
eight of the crew was missing and
the occupants believed lost, according
to a ecablegram received by the own
ers here today. Captain John A. Hell
son of San Francisco, and r. Her
pich, chief engineer, of New Orleans,
with IL of the crew, reached Puerto
Mexico in a lifeboat yesterday and
cables news of the disaster.
The missing lifeboat was in charge
of John B. Cefalu, purser. and a
stockholder of the company owning
the steamer. The Olympic was en-
route from Frontera to Puerto Mex
leo, when she encountered the gale.
Vessels have been sent to cruise in
the vicinity of the sinking in the hope
of picking up the missing men, the
owners stated.
The Olympic had displacement
of 1900 tons. She was valued at
100000, and her cargo at $780,
900. The steamer formerly was in
the Pacific trade and her last voy-
age was the 18th under the new
owners.

Miss C(jDAHY, FEARING
SUBMARINES, SUICIDES
WHILE ON BOARD SHIP
BIT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Paris. Oct. 27.-Miss Helen Cudahy,
daughter of Patrick Cudahy. the Mil
waukee meat packer committed sui
eide in midocean on October 10. ac-
cording to the army edition of the
Chicago Tribune. Fear of subma-
rines is said to have been the cause.
Miss Cudahy, who was coming to
France on a. Red Cross mission, ap-
peared to be cheerful in the early
days of the voyage, but when the
submarine zone was approached and
a convoy met the steamer on which
she was a passenger, she remained
in her cabin.
A friend who went to her cabin on
the night tof October 10 found the
room empty, the port hole open and
this hurriedly written note:
"It is all for the best. Keep as
much as possible from father and
mother. Notify my brother Mich
ael,"
Search of the boat failed to reveal
any further evidence of her disap-
pearance or any person who witnessed
the tragedy. Miss Cudahy's body has
not been recovered.

CADORNA RALLYING HIS
SCATTERED ARMIES.

Italian Army Headquarters, Fri
day, Oct. 26.-Tne military situation
late tonight is summed up by army
officers as follows:
''The Austro-G German advance still
is held in check in the passes west of
the Isonzo river leading to the Vene-
tian plan. But Ine gravity of the
conditions caused by the enormous
forces of the enemy has led the su-
preme command of the Italian army
to adopt precautionary measures"
General Cadorna announced that in
consequence of the retirement of the
Italians to the former frontier line
further arrangements are now being
made for falling back from the Balm
sizzi high plateau.
This plateau is thrust far forward
between the Austrian flanks, and
while representing splendid achieve
ment~, of Italian arms, it becomes a
menace with Field Marshal Won
-Sckensen's forces est of the Ison-
20 seeking to make a turning move
ment southwark. Tf~ falling back
from the Bainsizza plat cau therefore
is designed as a strategic move to
checkmatae the enemy's turning
movement.
In the meantime, late reports from
| the front show that the enemy is
combining cunning with power. as
his armies are advancing with huge
banners bearing the word "Peace.
This is an evident appeal to the Ital-
ian soldiers, although it is accompa-
MED by the roar of artillery and by
bayonets beneath the banners.
| Other precautionary measures have
been taken in the zone of the army

With the close Of the Liberty
Loan Campaign yesterday, Pensacola
and Escambia county are free to de-
vote their sole attention to the Food
Conservation campaign which opens
today, and will continue throughout
the week. The object of the cam
paign is not to have people eat less.
but to prevent waste, and to substitute
foods of which we have plenty, for
those articles needed by the men at
the front, and by our allies.
The campaign is merely to have
housekeepers sign pledges to help in
this work, which officials claim is of
utmost Importance in the successful
prosecution of the war. To facvili-
tate i'm securing signatures to the
pledges, and to insure the coopera-
tion of everyone in the county, Pen
sacola and Escambia county have
been divided into precincts with a
captain in each division.
These captains, and their commit
tee will carry on the active work of
obtaining the pledges The cards
are already printed, and need only be
filled out and signed.
Sunday, the opening day of the
campaign, will be marked by war
food conservation sermons by the
country's 100000 ministers in
churches all over the land. The Food
Administration states that the re-
sponse of the ministers has been ex-
traordinary generous in this re-
spect.
State. city, county and local or
carnations constitute the working
machinery of the campaign. Begin

URY STATEMENT REPORTS:
HUGE SUBSCRIPTIONS. :
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, Oct. 27-Compilation
of the estimated subscriptions of the
Liberty Loan late today showed a
total of $4,555, ,000,0
Treasury statements, however. say
the five billion mark is passed. The
reserve banks are struggling tonight
under an avalanche of late subscrip-
tions. Indications are tabulations will
not be complete for several days.
Every district it appeared had passed
the minimum, and it is likely most of
them have exceeded their maximum
at least eight million persons SUBJ
scribed. At the time the official tab.
ulation IS made, banks are swamped
with unreported- subscriptions. The
estimate for the Atlanta district is
one hundred million.

Good Work Here.

The quota was raised In Pensacola
despite the weeks delay in starting
because of the storm. As soon as
this handicap was placed on the city,
the committee started with even
greater energy, and rallied many To-
cal organizations to the standard.
Every insurance man in the city
worked for the loan, and thousands
of dollars worth Of bonds were sold
through their efforts alone. The Ro-
tary Clubs tremendous drive, raising
double the amount pledged, is one of
the bright features of the campaign
which goes down in Pensacola history
on level with the first response to
the Liberty Loan.
On every side spirit of coopera-
tion was manifest. The second Lib
erty Loan is considered more truly
representative Of Pensacola than the
first, for there are probably a much
larger number Of individual subscrib-
ers. Notable in the second campaign
was the large subscriptions among
the negro citizens Of the city.
Though there were many small sub
scriptions the large firms were by no
means lax in patriotism. Many
lumber companies, hard hit by loss
of timber and turpentine in the re-
cent storm, nevertheless bought
large amounts of bonds. Throughout

RE-LOCATEs BIG SILVER LEDGE

George Armstrong returned Satur- day from the east fork of the Wheaton river, 46 miles from Rob- inson station on the W. P. X Y. R., says the Whitehorse Star, where he had gone a few days before, ac- companied by Claude Irvine and Adam Bernie, to relocate an i'm menseiy big silver-lead vein that had been discovered several years ago but had never been worked on account of its inaCcessibility, the low grade character of its ores and the low price of silver. Now that the price of silver bids fair to reach par before stopping on it's upward course, the ledge above re- ferred to may, in MT. Armstrong's opinion, become a valuable pro Dery and eventually q big produc- err.
 While on the east fork the party encountered cold, windy weather, the hills being covered with ice and hard to travel over, Before they lef. for home 12 inches of snow fell.
 There is a big glacier on the east fork os the Wheaton river, and in order to reach the place for which they had set out it was necessary for the party to cut over 1000 steps in the glacial ice.
 Bernie and Irvine are interested in the Tally Ho group of claims in the Wheaton district, and for the past few months have been do ing development work on the pro perty with the expectation of bringing ore out over the ice this winter to Robinson station, from which place it can be shipped to some outside smelter.
 Becker and Cochrane are also do- ing development work on the Whirl- wind group in the same district, and they. also, expect to ship their ores out this winter.

conditions of life, iu ba8piness and in freedom. It is not merely that waSes have been raised, that the people have taken oyer the direc- tion of the railroads, and of the coal mines, and of the food supply, and of the organized industries Of the nation. It is not merely that the workingman has been given larger place a. in the Government councils and the rich man q smaller place-hiS income taxed to the bone and his profits reduced to .extiuction. It is, above all, that industry itself has obtained demo- cratic government of its own, so
 that the workingman now sits with the employer at the board of busi-
 ness management and helps to
 make the rules under which ne
 works and to regulate the condi-
 tious oi his labor.
 The reforms for which British soc -aIists have been struggling for
 50 years baye been obtained oyer
 night. A revolution that could not
 have been effected in g century of
 uease has been forced by three years
 or gar. The conditions which for
 warded that revolution are the
 conditions that are so ra-
 pidly advancing similar revolution here. Our socilists, who
 cry"This is a rich mans war; let
 the workingman oppose it, are as
 blind as those socialists in Great Britaia who originally raised the
 same cry and similarly opposed
 their own advantage.
 We have already obtained, in this country, measures of state social ism that looked as far away as
 the millennium to our socialists three years ago. We shall have to carry
 the still more incredible reforms
 that have carried in England If we are to defend ourselves as well as the English are defending them selves. We, too, shall have to "demUcratize industry" as the phrase is. if We expct our working man to reeiuforce our battle line as the British workingman has re- inforced the British front. And not only that. After the war is oYer'
 our industry and our commerce
 10 gay nothing of the French and German-if our workingman is not
 as loyal and satisfied and happy and efficient as theirs. Our revolu- tion will have to continue, because the life of the Nation in peace as in war, will depend upon contin-
 uing it.
 A rich mans var! A war that has extermiuated half tue evils of oppression of which the predatory rich have been accused. A war
 that has reduced their power, cur
 tailed their privileges, confiscat- ed their profits! A war that has made England, in three years, radical democracy, not only politi- cauy, but iudustrially! If any socialist thinks that such q war is
 ricn mans war, he thinks so because his mind has ceased 10 Iuuctiou-because he has reduced thought to a dogma and bleats mechanical utterance like a toy Ilamb-Decause he has taken his stand cn the economic formula, like the lamb on it's bellows, unable to change it's note under the pressure of any circumstances, baaing it's inyariable auswer to any cOnfranta-
 ton ct fact.

"A RICH MANS WAR
By Harvey O'Higgins.

He had been drafted. He had bee refused exemption. He was youn, hack driver, with no one dependent on him. But he was not eager to tiglt; he had been reading The Masses. I"Whatye I got to fight tor?" he argued. Its a rich mans war"
 IL Is. But not in the sense that he meant.
 As long as this country, at peace, was supplying Europe with fool and munitions the rich man gained. The intuition makers drew enormous dividends. The Steel Trust, the Coal Trust, the Meat Trust, the railroad and the shipping m'gnates charged all that the war time traffic would bear, and had no taxes to pay. It was their in ter est to keep this Nation out of the conflict in order to preserve ANeIE SaluS. " ALA OGA CAhA SAANS Ng on hostilities the Government ob- taln,d the power to tax profits, to fix prices, to control the food sup ply, 10 protect the poor from ex- DlOitahon. That power has been sought, for how many decades, time Of peace, by how many social re formers? The war won it. If it is a rich mans war, the rich have been singularly deluded in procurin ir.
 And. in the matter Of the draft, they have been equally blind. The first conscription act of our Civil War allowed the rich man to buy ex emptiOn by paying $500 for it. There is no such clause in the present law. In the later days of the Civil War the rich man could buy exemption by paying suhsti- tute 10 take his place. He can not do so in this war. The only exemptions allowed today are al- lowed to the poor man who has de pendents or to the workers in the industries and professions that are recessary to the life and efficiency of a modern nation in war time.
 It Is a rich mans war, there fore, iD the sense that the sons ot th, rich are the most liable to die in 1t. It is a rich mans war in thr sense that the rich are chiefly paying for it with their lives, with their money, with their time and service, and with the loss of their rsecial privileges, while the worK- ingman, the small farmer, the pro ducer. the productive laborer and the pocr are everywhere compara- lively exempt.
 For the first time in the history of the world a war is being |ageu that falls most heavily upon the classes who, in times past, nave most urofited by war.
 In Iths country, as yet, the re- suIts of that new aspect of the con TIict lare not glaringly evident. But in England they are so striking that tbeV amount to a revolution. There 1t Is the poorer classes that nave Taiped in material comfort, in po- i,tIcal power, in control of AtelF
