News of Breaking Up of Enemy
Nations on Home Fronts Sur
passes That of Battles.
AUSTRIAN RULER QUITS
Emperor Charles Leaves Vienna and
Orders Authorities to Yield With
out Resistance to New Regime
Population Is Jubilant.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The Alliance
of the Central powers, which for more
than four years has carried on his
to be achieving success. is go'rg to
pieces.
Bulgaria and Turkey have surrep-
dered; Austria, with anarchy reigning
throughout the kingdom, is begging
for peace, and Germany is anxiously
awaiting terms of the Allied nations.
In fact, news of the breaking up of
the enemy actions on their home
fronts is more momentous than even
reports Of tremendous events in the
theaters Of actual battle.
Turkey Gives Up Everything.
Turkey has apparently given up
everything, agreed to the opening of
the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus
and thrown herself upon the mercy
of the Allies arrayed against her. In
this phase of the war the United
States is not an active participant.
This country has not been at wal with
the Ottoman empire. Entry of the
Black sea by British, French and
Italian warships may be announced at
any time with the final act of the
drama In that region of the world but
a short distance away. Assistance to
Roumania and Intervention in south
ern Russia is probably a matter of but
a brief period.
Charles Yields Throne.
Paris. Nov. Emperor Charles
has practically abandoned his shat
tered government at Vienna.
A Zurich dispatch declares that be-
fore leaving Vienna for his castle at
Godollo he ordered the authorities to
yield without resistance to the new
regime. q.
The Austrian government appears to
be disintegrated, according to all re-
ports. and the Socialists are evidently
in power.
Dispatches from Copenhagen an
nounced that a provisional workmen's
and soldiers council has been formed
in Vienna-such as was organized to
handle the Russian government after
the revolution. Emperor Charles ac-
tion is believed to have mea the
turning over Of the government to this
council.
Charles Is reported to have taken
the same action in Hungary through
his cousin, Archduke Joseph, at Buda-
pest.
The provisional workmen's and SOL
diers' council in Vienna is understood
to be drawing up plans for a republic.
According to a Copenhagen dis
patch. Count Karolyi. head of the ma
tional council. reports that the Buda-
pest garrison and police have acknowl-
edged the new council government.
The population is jubilant.

TOWN
/. Helps :
HIGHEST TYPE OF CITIZEN
He Is the Man Who Sees Tendency OF
the Times and Helps Direct
Ii Correctly.

Who is he? A person who keeps his
eyes open and knows what is going
on. and who asserts a conviction from
what he sees. One may think it is very
difficult, considering the complexity
and multiplicity of events, TO. possess
oneself of a governing truth from the
drift rood of the rapidly passing
strean of things. But that is not
what he has to do. If a person has
to witt for every little particular he
will never reach n judgment or belief.
You can see such people in a commu-
nifty, mere peckers Of bird seed, full
Of vapid talk and controversy. They
are no more agents Of truth than Old
Nick is.
You don't have to inspect each par
ticular straw to see what a haystack
is. You can look at it, see its form,
understand It's purpose, and know ALI
there is in a haystack to know. 80 in
life, the small facts are endless and
shed no light.
One must turn from them to the ten
dency or policy and make up his mind
from that. Such q discovery is easier
than a single fact. One cannot make
up one's mind from little things, for
they are endless, one suggesting an
other infinitely. So a general view
that expresses a tendency provides the
opportunity for a conviction.
The civic duty, then, is to get ac-
quainted with the tendency of a meas
ure of policy, the influence it has on
other things and how 1t affects the
habits of a community. This constant
lowering about particulars never con-
structs a real faith. One has to take
his stand on an axiom or ~self-evident
truth and then look out and see
whether a circumstance is coming to
him or going from him. That is the
way to get at a tendency which is the
necessity habit of good citizenship.
1t is the small mind that is constant
ly looking for peanut facts and rea
som 1t is the larger mind hat looks
for tendencies, and the field for it's
exercise includes all national, state
and city affairs. A man who doesn't
see tendencies there is a poor citizen,
and they are legion.-Columbus Jour
nal.

Respect Other Peoples Property.

Attention to other peoples property
adds to the national wealth. The idea
seems to have gotten abroad that
wealth is purely a personal matter. To
a certain extent that Is true. But
wealth produces for the common good.
The facts show that not dire poverty
but growth and development is the oc-
casion of discomfort. You can do your
part In the upward march Of progress
by teaching men that every property
loss brings calamity on the community
And the principle works both ways
Men often sow for the other man what
they themselves reap. Be a construc-
ZIONIST and learn to respect other peo-
pies property.

armies of Dual Monarchy Are
Being Destroyed on the
Italian Plains.
DEFEAT IS COMPLETE
Additional Splendid Gains Have Been
Made Against the German
Forces In Both Francs
and Belgium.

London, Nov. 2.-The armies OF the
Teuton empires are being violently
attacked by troops of the Allies from
the mountcin regions OF northern Italy
to the plains Of Venetia and at sew.
eral points in Belgium and France.
In Italy, except In several sectors
IN the hill country, the enemy is fast
being overwhelmed. In both Belgium
and France, additional splendid gains
have been recorded liz favor OF the
Allies, In the achievement of which
men from the United States took a
goodly part.
Teusons Fleeing Aeross Danube.
In Serbia the Austrians and Ger.
mans are fast making their way out
OF the little kingdom. many Of them
already having crossed the Danube.
French and Serbian cavalry have
reached Belgrade from where a fast
turning movement westward along the
Save river is likely to work havoc
with those of the enemy forces com
ing nor.hward in western Serbia and
those who are struggling northward
through Albania.

Eyes Of World on Italy.
Although the new smashes OF the
British, French and Americans In Bel
gium and France have been markedly
successful In the carrying out Of the
general program OF Kidding French
n Belgium soil OF the invaders, II Is
still the Italian theater on which the
eyes of the world are centered. In
ternal strife in Germany and Austria
Hungary and continued pleadings
from the Dual monarchy for an armi-
stice and a cessation of hostilities
have received scant notice when com
pared with the impression that the
wonderful drive Of the Italians and
their allies against the Austro-Hun-
garians has made upon the world at
large.
Foe Beaten All Along Line.
Everywhere the enemy is being de-
feated In Italy. In the Alpine region,
where the natural barriers had acted
as bastions of defense, the enemy line
has been broken at salient points and
the foe compelled to seek safety in re-
treat to further mountain s~trongholds.
On the plains the retrograde movement
OF the enemy toward the Tagliamento
river Is virtually a complete rout, with
Allied airplanes violently attacking
with machine guns the throngs OF the
snemy hurrying eastward with the
cavalry cutting to pieces the strag-
glers and the infantry and machine
gunners taking a heavy toll In men
killed or wounded.

In the growth Of our towns and sub

writes Helen Bowen In the House

barns or stables which are often suffi-
GENTLY well built and in sound enough
condition to be remodeled into houses.

Train Running at Terrific Speed
Jumps From the Rails
in a Tunnel.
CARS JAM TOGETHER
New York District Attorney Says Acci-
dent Was Due to R~ecklessness
on Part of Motorman, Act
ing as Strikebreaker.

New York, Nov. about 100 bodies
have been taken from the Malbope
street tunnel on the Brighton Beach
lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company, where a five-car train run
ming at terrific speed jumped the rails
on a curve and struck the side wall
with such force that the first car was
demolished and the others buckled I'M
til they were damned against the roof
Of the tunnel.
Passengers Numbered 900.
The train carried nearly 900 passen-
gers. Rescue workers declared they
believed more bodies were buried I'M
der the wreckage and that the death
list of men, women and children might
reach 120.
Probably twice that many were in
jured, many of them seriously.
District Attorney Lewis of Kings
county declared the accident was due
to recklessness on the part of the mo-
torman, who had been employed as a
train dispatcher and was pressed into
service because of the strike which
went into effect after the company had
refused to reinstate 20 discharged
union employees.
Motorman Declared Missing.
"The motorman is gone,' Mr.. Lewis
said. THE claim adjusting depart
ment appears to have kidnapped him."
Mr.. Lewis said warrants would be
iGcun6 FOR tho 0rpncf IF oil CONFORMATION
officials who could be held responsible.
An investigation of the wreck is in
progress. The Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit company had made no statement
concerning the wreck.
The wrecked train was packed to the
gates with home-going men, women
and children.
Hours after the accident it was diff
cult to determine exactly how it hap
pened.
The crash came in a dark tunnel and
the hysterical survivors were unable
TO give coherent accounts of their ex-
periences. Many of them insisted that
a second train had ploughed into the
rear of the one which had carried
them.
This was the theory of District At
torney Lewis until he had carefully
sifted the evidence at hand. He finally
determined, however, that only n
train was involved.
Dangerous Speed Alleged.
Mr.. Lewis and the police asserted
that the train was running fully 40
miles an hour when it took the curve,
and plunged into the concrete side
wall of the tunnel.
1t was declared that only a motor
man thoroughly familiar with the line
could have negotiated the curve safely,
even at moderate speed. When the
first car jumped the track it side
swiped the west wall and ran along
the ties for nearly 100 feet. The cars
behind crashed through it, then
buckled against the rail and then fell.
