In such a sudden rout.
oh, the worms crawld out and the

AS the collins FLASHED with d horrid

And the dead folk cried in their

Of those who should lose and those

But no one dared to pray
Now I will go to my love this night,
Ny old, old love. long dead,
Whose body sweet was my souls de-

My spirits wine and bread
I sought her grave, meath the ivy hid,
But now torn open wide;
She had push'd aside the coffin lid,
AS one who struggling died,
oh, the worms craWpd out and the
worms crawl'd in
Through the orbits where glorious
eyes had been,
And the mouth was fixed in a tooth

And this was the face of the dearest

She set her mouth on my shaking lips
In a dreadful, icy kiss;
And on my eyes fell a bleak eclipse
Made vile with the worms sharp hiss.
Her bony arms round my throat
were wound
And throttled all my breath;
heard her laugh with a fearful
That made me one with death.
Oh, the worms crawl'd out and the

And I felt them bite through the liv-

For who that shall gamble with

And T knew this horror and I were

YANKS IN BATTLE
ON THE PAVE
SO, 900 Austrians Taken and
Many Guns Captured.
AUsTRIANS FIGHTING HARD
Battle Extended Toward The Sea-
British In This Field Cross
Monticano River In
Several Places.

Washington.-Thir thousand
Austrian troops, hundreds of guns and
innumerable machine guns have been
captured by Italian and Allied forces
on the Italian front, said an official
dispatch from Rome. The Three Hun
dred and Thirty-second American In
tantry Regiment has gone into action
and the fighting now extends practic-
ally all along the course of the Piave
river.
The Austrians are resisting stub
bornly, throwing in many new divi-
sions, but have not been able to stop
the advancing forces. This dispatch
follows:
Our offensive is developing farther
south and stretches practically all
along the course of the Piave. The
Third Army is now In action success
fully. The line between the Brenta
and the sea is strongly held by the
greater part of ths Italian Army along
side of which Is the Fourteenth Army
Corps of British troops and French
division. The Three Hundred and
Thirty-second American Infantry Regi-
ment is now also in action.
1.-THE enemy is resisting with excep-
tional stubborness and is throwing into
the fray new divisions without, how
ever, being successful in holding back
our troops. In the Grappa region the
troops of the First italian Army with
the support of the Twelfth Army has
been successful in beating the enemy
at Segusino and has conquered Mont
gesen. The Eighth Army has occupied
the narrow pass of Follina and has
already reached Vittorio. The Tenth
Army, after having established solid
bridgeheads over the Monticano river,
has crossed the river and is advancing
along the road Conegliano Odrzo. The
Third Army, after neutralizing the
formidable artillery fire of the enemy,
has crossed the Piave at San Dona di
Pave and east of Zenson.
I'm Albania our troops, after beating
the rear guards of the enemy, have &C
cupied San Giovanni di Medua and
are rapidly advancing on Scutari."
An earlier official dispatch from
Rome said that more than 100 villages
and towns had been liberated since
the offensive began and that the Aus
trian Army Corps on the left had re-
tired in disorder, leaving behind war
materials and several hundred guns.
The position of the Sixth Austrian
Army Corps was described as very
critical.

Another Prop Out
of Propaganda
By ISOBEL FIELD
of The Vi0il0nfes

The busy enemy-alien propaganda

days. So many of his plans have
slipped up and so many of him are
filling the concentration camps. Uncle
Sam is very quiet about 1t, but he has
keen eye and long arm. Quite I'M

and his usual haunts know him no
more. In his confinement behind the
bars, or while he is harvesting the
corn for better men to eat, he hasn't
the satisfaction Of gloating over his
misdeeds. Too many of them have
failed.
With that boosted German efficiency
of which we once heard SO much the
Cropagandist tackled the American ne
gro. Here were people ready to his
hand, simple, kindly, unsuspicious,
with SO many grievances against the
government that 1t would be easy to

They tried it. They tried it again.
They took another angle and tried it..
Colt in himmel! These people were

against their wrongs and expressions,
but America was their home, and the

that they act as traitors to either!

Then the busy little bee began an
other flight, and worked up feeling
among the ignorant whites against the
negro. Here he was more successful,
ms the riots in st. Louis proved. But

,eople and it was asked: "Why, if the
negro were at fault were there more
colored men killed than white?" If,
as propagandlsts were shouting, the
colored people were q problem" and a
.menace to civilization" how came it
that the troubles were invariably start-
ed by white men attacking blacks?
The German propagandists discovered
10 their dismay that their tactics were
having the effect of drawing general
attention to the wrongs of the negro
and arousing interest and sympathy
for him on all sides. The mute pro-
fest of the colored women and chill
