LONDON, Nov 2.-Ths flooded
Tagliamento river, separating him
from General Won Mackensen's in
vading avalanche OF Teutons. and
with a reformed and thoroughly
aroused army behind him. General
Cadorna was on his prepared line OF
defense today. 1t appeared that the
great battle of the north italian front
was under way.
Here in London the vital issue az
military observers saw Il. was
whether the loss OF the staggering
number OF guns and quantities OF
supplies which the Berlin omcial re-
ports have claimed as the booty or
the invaders, would permit the
Italians to retain this line. Cadorna,
II was realized must have great artfi-
lery strength If he is to hold the
Germans back. His defeat at the
outset Of the invasion was due 10
preponderance of Teutonic guns. And
of this smaller store OF metal, the
Berlin statements claim to have

enormous total Of 100000 claimed by
Berlin. was not considered fatal.

The Germans today, hold the vital
bridgeheads on the eastern bank or
Tagliamento. 1t was supposed that
Cadorna, his army once safely over,
had destroyed the bridges them
selves, but this was not certain.
First description Of the original
German assault by which Won Mack
ensen gained the initial impetus for
his great drive-admittedly the most
overwhelming maneuver Of this kind
since the war started-was received
here today. The Germans tried q
new trick. They opened deluge OF
shell fire. 1t was the greatest con-
centration Of artillery the Italians
had ever undergone. 1t covered
every inch of the front-except
certain small sector. %
The fire did fearful execution
everywhere. At the height of it's In
tensity, when Italian troops were
bent under dugouts everywhere
even in the small sector over which
the Germans withheld their fire-the
German attack came. It was aimed
at the small gap in the italian line
from which the German fire had been
withheld The assault1ng wave
caught the Italians there under their
,dugouts and crouching in the
trenches. The defenders had no idea
that an assault was coming because

AFTER FIVE YEARS
Lexington Testimony Remains
Unshakne,

Time is the best test of truth.
Here is a Lexington story that
has stood the test of time. 1t is
a story with a point which will
come straight home to many of
us.
Mrs. Henry Brasch, Tenth &
Main Sts,, gave the following
statement on December 4th,
1911:
81 had bladder and kidney
trouble and it was so severe
couldn't be on my feet. My
back ached terribly and often
made me cry out with the awful
pain. My kindeys were sluggish
my hands, limbs and ankles were
SWOLLEN. | had blind, staggering
headaches and at times
couldn't see. | used different
medicines but it was Doan's
Kidney Pills that gave me relief
| got them at Crenshaw &
Young's Drug Store and | was
more than pleased with the re
suits they brought.
On September II, 1916, Mrs
Brasch said: 81 confirm my for
mer endorsement of Doan's Kid
ney Pills and allow it to be pub
lished so that it may hel
other sufferers. The cure ha
been permanent for at least fou
or five years and Doan's Kidne
: Pills deserve the entire credit.
