Washington, Nov. 19.-The desper-
ate character of the fighting between
the Italians and the Austro-Germans
on the Piave river is emphasized in
an official cable dispatch received
here from Rome.
Yesterday morning says the dis
patch, Austrian troops attacked our
positions near Pontedlpiave after an
intense artillery fire. The positions
were defended by the tyfourth in
fantry division composed of the No
Nara brigade and the Third Bersaglieri
brigade. Overcome by the effect Of
asphyxiating gases our soldiers at the
beginning gave way to the advancing
enemy, but later in dashing counter
attack our troops succeeded in push
ing the Austrians back to the river
after a most furious hand-to- hand
engagement.
Units of Bersaglieri also are fight
ing epic battles between Tagaro and
San Bartolomes, where every ra-
vine, every hole, every obstacle is
desperately contested between the en-
emy and the defenders and becomes
the center of the most sanguinary en-
counters, An entire division of Aus
trians is participating in the battle
which is still raging. The Austrians
have been compelled to withdraw to
the river edge where they are stub
bornly fighting with the river behind
them and with little hope of receiving
assistance in their difficult situation.
I'm this sector alone, our soldiers
have captured more than SOC prison.

ALIEN ENEMIES MAY

Lincoln, Neb,, Nov. 19.-Alien en-
emies in Nebraska are going to lose
their lands If State Land Commission
or Shumway can effect it. Under a
statute long unused in Nebraska
aliens can own no land in this state
Commissioner Shumway does not con-
template seizing the lands of friendly
aliens, but in letters to county attor-
neys, county clerks and county treas
urers today, he urges the resurrection
OF the obsolete statute and the seizure
OF land from alien enemies. These
lands, if seized, would revert to the
state.

1t is not possible to state where the
allied reinforcements are but it can
be stated that they are not on the
Piave nor in the fighting zone at the
north, which now appears to be one
of the enemy's chief lines of approach.

RELIGION IN NEED

NOW IS BEST TIME OF ALL
BY A. r. GROH.

BY "A. K. GROH.
A man sends me a pamphlet OF
which he is the author and asks for
my opinion of it.
His pamphlet is a knock" on re-
ligion OF all kinds. He declares all
the creeds are wrong, that priests and
preachers are worse than useless and
that "the masses" have been made
poor TO build churches, cathedrals
and other places Of worship.
] am afraid, sir, that you are in a
very poor business. Your arguments
are founded upon the crassest igno-
rance and builded with suspicious,
jealousy and sourness.
Your principal objection to all
religions seems to be thai they cost
money. You might extend the same
objection to the schools. They cost
money, too.
Wrong Premises.
You intimate that clergymen draw
big salaries and live in luxury and
idleness. Your ignorance on this, as
on the rest of the subject is so glar-
ing as to be amusing.
If you knew anything at all about
it, you would know that preachers
and priests get smaller pay than any
other professional men. The average
salary of clergyman in the United
States is less than 5000 a year. Thou
sands OF them get only $500 or $500.
And these are men who have spent
years and money in preparing for
their calling. They coulc earn more
of this worlds goods as teachers or
merchants or doctors or in the trades,
Even if we would grant that Chris
tianity has no divine foundation, the
argument would still be all in its
favor. Modern civilization, by III
odds the most enlightened in the
worlds history, is admitted to be due
to the Christian religion. The worlds
brightest men and women in this, the
worlds most brilliant age, are Chris
tians. Christianity has raised the
poor to a plane OF freedom and COM
fort never before known in the
world. 1t has liberated women. 1t
has freed the black race.
No Need for Defense.
Defending the church is really as
unnecessary as defending the sun for
giving light.
The church, all its denominations
working together, has brought the
world to its present enlightenment.
Hundreds of millions have lived hap
PLY and died peacefully and hope
fully in the Christian religion before
you came on EARTH with your great
wisdom to point out that it and all
other religions are wrong. Rather
odd, isn't i'll
And what do you offer in place OF
the religion you would snatch awayl
Nothing. Nothing to sustain the liv-
ing through the troubles of life. Moth
ing to give hope and joy to the dying.
Nothing.
Moreover, it is written. by their
fruits ye shall know them" What

All the Christian denomina-
tons have hospitals where seif-sac,-
hcing sisters and nurses minister to
the sick by day and by night. Where
are your orphan asy!ums located Do
you conduct any homes for the aged?
Or do you just rail at those who
are doing good and trying to make
the world the best possible place to
live in?
OF course, you have right to your
opinions. You are quite welcome to
them. You'll find very few people |
that want them.

College Girls Ready to Serve.
Omaha girls at Smith are enjoying
the Red Cross work which is being
done in the school. They arc hear
ing lectures and talks on simplicity in
food, healthful exercises, simple dress
and all the other things which will
make them strong TO take their part
in national affairs if active war comes.
So far as we know now Miss Ell
eanor McGilton, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. G. McGilton, is the only girl
who has been taking the course in
Red Gross work which is offered at
that school. She writes enthusiastic
cally to her parents of the work and
the teaching which she receives.
Other Omaha girls at Smith are
sharing in the lectures and the spirit
OF the training, and have probably
enrolled for the course during the re-
cent wave of spirit which has swept
the school. Miss Harriet Sherman
has written of the Red Cross move
ment in the school, and others who
are being interested are Misses Lois
Robbins, Florence Russell, Mildred
Rhoades, Irene Rosewater, Katherine
Robinson and Katherine Woodwork.
Girls in preparatory schools and
private schools are not feeling the
movement so vitality, for war talk
is less general among them. Miss
Caroline Holmquist has written to
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. ]. w.
Holmquist, saying that they hear very
little war talk or war plans at Dana
Hall.
Miss Erna Reed and Miss Helen
Peycke are Omaha girls at Vassar,
where it is reported almost every
student signed up for war service in
the National League for Women's
Service.
The Wellesley girls are Miss Leola
Harris and Miss Margaret LOOMS.
New classes to study nursing. have
been formed there.

 STOCK MARKET

New York, July 23.-Ewents over the week end, particularly latest de- velopments in Russia, were unfavor- ably interrupted by traders at the opening of toIday's market. War stocks reflected moderate pressure, declines Dealings were light and restricted to in representative industrial and equip ments extending from one to two points. Coppers. and motors showed a renewal of last weeks heaviness and railroads were irregular, St. Paul again yielding to its recent low price. Dealings were light and restricted to the more speculative groups.
 The irregular drift of the opening continued throughout the early deal ings. Shippings and a few special t!"~ moved smartlyN upward, but mo- tors and war shares made little head way, some of the steels recording half way, recoveries. Railroads were sell dom quoted and lost none of their uncertain tone. The easing of money rates, call loans. renewing. at per cent, was among the few encourag- ing developments of the forenoon. Bonds were steady on nominal deal- ings, Liberty 1-2s selling at 99.46 to 99.
