An incident showing that the Bolshe-

posed, came when sailors from the

they were expected to defend the

In the hilly region representing the
northern front from Lake Garda to
the region south of Feltre all the Aus
tro-German attacks, some of them de-
livered with extreme violence, have
been repealed. according to the Rome
war office, although Berlin asserts ina
northeast Of Asiago and the
Brenta and PiaVe rivers the italians
have peer driven from further strong
mountain positions.
No advices have come through to
show that the British n French re
Inducements have reached the Italian
line in any considerable numbers, but
tie few days" which it was announc-
ed last week must intervene before
they could stiffen the front now are at
an end. Therefore, 1t is presumed that,
with the Italians having borne the
hrunt of the Teutonic-Allied attack
during the past week unaided, the
present week with the aid of the Al
lies in their line will turn the balance
of the scale in their favor.
Artillery Duel in Flanders
Aeain the artillery duel on the

proportions, and it is not unlikely that
Field Marshal Haig has in preparation
another dash forward from the re-
gion of Pas~schendaele toward the
town of Roulers and important rail-
way line serving the German front
from the North sea southwark. The
Germans, anticipating another of the
irresistible operations of the British
commander-in-chief are directing their
heavy gun fire on the positions in the
~neighborhood of Passchendaele and
south Of the Polygon wood.
To the south the big guns OF the
French and the Germans also are ac-
tive along the Chemin des Danes and
the present week doubtless will wit
ness another attempt by Gen. Petain's
army here to press further forward
toward Laon.
Giving Turks No Rest
TIE British troops in Palestine are
giving the Turks no rest. The import
ant city Of Jaffa on the Mediterranean
has been captured by them, the Otto
man forces offering no resistance. 1t is
Htated that instead of standing and of
fering battle the Turks are in retire
ment northward. The German naval
forces encountered by British light war
craft in the North sea Saturday We're

The British warships chased the
fleeing enemy as far as was coinpati-
bic with safety. and when last seen
one of the Germans was on fire and
another apparently had been damaged
by the craftsmanship of the p%ursuerS.
In addition a German mine sweeper
was sunk. The British naval unit suf-
fered slight material damage and there
We're few casualties among the crews.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The veneer Of

Some other houses adopted a different
camoufiage. They advanced the price
to 13 cents, which with the 2-cent tax
called for on admissions for more
than 10 cents enabled them to charge

Casualties Negligible Among

ing. Relief Is Successful.
BY Review Leased Wire)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov 1.-(By the Associated
Press. THE first battalions of Amer
leans in the trenches have been re-
lieved by others. Relief which is con-
sidered one of the critical periods
when the enemy. by shelling the ap-
proaches to the positions may inflict
heavy damage, was accomplished sue
cessfully. Apparently the enemy was
not aware of what was going on.
With the men back in billets it is
proper to mention for the first time
that the casualties were negligible
In face more men are suffering with
trench feet" than with wounds.
Experience Gained.
From a military standpoint the ex-
perience gained by the Americans is
considered of a very high value in the
training of contingents which are yet
to arrive on French soil II was a
tired, dirty, wet, mud-caked body OF
men that returned to the billets. The
men had only two clear days while in
the trenches. They were muddy from
their hats to their shoes. Before any
thing else they required bath, first
with gasoline and then water.
Today the sun was shining brightly
and the returned soldiers spent most
of the time summing themselves and
their belongings. Some of the fields
in this section of France are covered
with blankets, parts of uniforms ana
equipment. Clouds of red dust arose
in these places when later the Own
ers started to brush. Tonight the re.
turned battalions are clean and ready
to go back again.
